But as a result that also means that since there's only one guy, more of their rewards tend to focus around the army unlocks, and there tend to be more of those army builder unlocks available to them. " have only got the one hero," says Dan, "which was partly done for story reasons and for the nature of the 'Nids, which are meant to be much more swarmy. At the end of each mission, you get to choose from rewards that include Wargear for your hero, new units for your army, or upgrades to those army units that you can then grant them in the field.
What you can build in the field depends on what you've unlocked in the Army Builder, a persistent roster of the units you have access to. They cut through the shonky Ork hardware like bone through butter, and he completes the mission. So he rebuilt it rather differently: no squads, just three lumbering Carnifexes, each taking up as much of his population limit as 30 lesser creatures. He'll get different carapaces he can pick up, and a variety of equipment that will change his various abilities from Rippers, which will just form an entourage around him, to the ability to regenerate some of his units on the field, or to spawn Spore Mines which can drift off and attack."Īt one point Dan's strength-in-numbers army was smashed by an Ork force heavy on the vehicles.
"He has his traits that he can level up just like anybody else, and he has a variety of biomorphs that he can equip over the course of the campaign: including scything talons, crushing claws - which is a more anti-vehicle, anti structural style melee weapons - Barbed Stranglers, and Venom Cannons - which is a massive ranged anti-vehicle weapon that the Tyranids use.
Lead designer Dan Kading says that in Retribution, you'll get to customise your Swarmlord almost as you would a humanoid hero. StarCraft's Zerg owe a significant debt to them, but they have a bony, nasty elegance that squelchier alien races often lack. For anyone wondering why Tyranids are such a fan favourite, I'll put it this way: they have guns that fire beetles that eat through flesh.
