====Tyranids====

*'''Genestealer Cultists''' - Unlike Imperial Guard (whom they may take as "allies" btw), many of the Genestealer units in this faction are ''not'' ideal targets to engage in melee. Between their Aberrants, Acolytes and Purestrain Genestealers, these guys will tear through your infantry (and even Wraith units, in the case of Aberrants) like tissue paper. Be extra cautious of squads deep-striking into your back lines and keep a Farseer paired with a squad of Dark Reapers to heavily discourage this tactic with the ''Forewarned'' stratagem. Lastly, you'll want to focus down any of their Patriarchs or other Psykers before they can cause havoc by disrupting your units.
*'''Tyranids''' - These space bugs are well renowned for two things; hordes and monsters. Both are particularly adept at melee combat and many of their units can either match your speed or even surpass it. Try to keep your distance and focus down any Synapse Tyranids that you can. Take a care with their innate Shadow in the Warp, as it can particularly interfere with your Warlock's casting. Warlock Conclaves can overcome this by using their ''Concordance of Power'' stratagem to cast safely outside the range of SitW if needed.
**Keep tabs on any units like the Venomthrope or Malanthrope, who can buff nearby tyranids with to-hit modifiers and take them down as soon as possible. Fire Prisms excel at killing single-model units like these, the Linked Fire stratagem in particular deserving a mention. Dark Reapers, as ever, serve as a handy counter to hit-modifiers and can even be used as snipers with the appropriate exarch power.
