Ooh, good luck!
I’ve seen a few elder vs chaos, elder seem to win over chaos most of the time.

@Communist Starlight
Roommate's Chaos fought his roommate's Eldar in an Open Play War of Attrition. It was a close fight, but Eldar edged out the win.

Roommate and I did start a 'nid vs. Chaos game, but we have yet to finish it.

@Nittany Discord
Ooh, that sounds cool.
I have no experience with the eldar nor gaurdsmen, so all I can do is wish y'all luck!

Also, my Tyranids may or may not be fighting some Eldar or Imperial Guard tomorrow. My roommate's friend is coming over for a 40k 1000pt game. I'll probably let my roommate play against his friend, but you never know.

@Communist Starlight
That's good. Those are always the most exciting games.

@Nittany Discord
It was a close game, so I'm not too worried.

@Communist Starlight
Maybe your Orks might win next time.

@Nittany Discord
Ooh, eradicators getting nerfed and KFF getting buffed really does help out. I might be able to fit in Nobz now.
I did play the game, I got wiped but I was very close to winning. I forced the wolves to play in ways they would not have normally played. I am worried about the infiltrators though, because they can reduce the damage they take.

@Communist Starlight
A lot.

The big changes were to how some secondaries are scored and player two's turn five scoring. However, there's also some points changes for Orks and 'Nids and some nerfs to Space Marines. It might mean that your boys have an easier time against those Space Wolves.

@Nittany Discord
No, I didn't. What's changing?

Did you hear about the new FAQ and Errata?

@Communist Starlight
I guess it's fear of missing out. I do have most of my stuff assembled, though. What I don't have assembled I really don't need at the moment.

@Nittany Discord
I really don't understand why people buy models when they haven't at least built their other models.

@Communist Starlight
Now I /have/ to put it together.

@Nittany Discord
I cast carnifex!

@Communist Starlight
They seem to do a lot. You can kit them out for ranged or melee combat. I guess they can also be a big distraction piece ("distraction carnifex" is a term I've heard in the community).

@Nittany Discord
Oooh, they look tough. What do they do?

@Communist Starlight
Yep. Gotta collect all of those plastic minis. I picked up a carnifex brood myself yesterday.

@Nittany Discord
I will at least buy Gorgutz and Nikkit. I may already have the models it is proxying, but dangit, a new model is a new model.

@Communist Starlight
I feel your pain. Xenos definitely need more love from GW.

@Nittany Discord
You'd think GW would give xenos some more love

@Communist Starlight
Sounds like an unfair fight.

@Nittany Discord
Unfortunately, with a combo of the 5+ ballistics and the 3+ save of marines, shooting is practically useless unless I use heavy tank killing weaponry against them, which is extremely ineffective against infantry. Also, grots are the only models that shoot decently but they don’t benefit from my selected army trait. The only thing I can think of is meganobz, and hitting first and hitting fast, maybe with bikes.

@Communist Starlight
Can Orks shoot well? If so, you might want to rely on ranged attacks and avoid melee if possible. It may not be the way you want to play Orks, but if they outperform you in melee, you have to adapt.

Trust me, I feel your pain as the Tyranid meta goes against their fluff and playstyle.

@Nittany Discord
They out-melee orkz, which makes me very nervous.
