5th edition overview

Guten Tag, Freundin!
It turns out that all my previous posts have been using the 4th edition codex.
Oh.
Ah, well, a quick glance through a friend's copy of 5th edition told me all I needed to know about the units I have. Termagants are WAY better, having gone down by a point in cost and gone up by 1 in leadership. Great! Hormagaunts didn't fair quite so well. WS3???? WTF F FOR FROG I DON'T KNOW WHY! Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, hormagaunts. They may have gone down by 4 points and had an initiative increase, but that lowering of weapon skill really stings. I won't be using them again (I recommend Genestealers for CC).
What about warriors. Kind of a mixed bag there. They're now a whopping 30 points each, but they do have 3 wounds. That's right, 3 wounds. Plus, a 4+ save, which is pretty decent, especially for nids.
They also now have the option to be upgraded to a Tyranid Prime; a hulking 80pt, WS6, BS4, S5, T5, I5, 3+, 4 wound sunuvabitch. Who can give his WS and BS stats to any brood of warriors he joins.

Finally, what about my lil' Carnifex. Well, I can say that in his favour he's gained +1 BS. BUT HE'S ALSO 160 POINTS! AND YOU CAN'T UPGRADE HIS STRENGTH! I MEAN WHAT WERE YOU THINKING GAMES WORKSHOP?!!
I'm disgusted, and something must be done about the Carnifex's cost. In fact, GW, if you're reading this, I'm gonna get some of my hardest lads, they're gonna come round your house, bash your door in and give you a strongly worded letter of complaint. And those words are going to STING! You'll be crying for a month!!
WOO HAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry guys, gotta go. Mum says I need to take my medication now.
