Hi,

Can anyone help? I play Tyranids and run 2 trygons in my list, i was looking for an AP value for TMC's in combat but i couldnt find anything (i was probably looking on the wrong page in the new rule book) that states what they are. The bone swords for the tyrants/swarmlord and the warriors state that they ignore armour but do they have an AP value for attacking vehicles?

I was looking on the warpshadow site (tyranid dedicated site) and they indicates that TMC's are AP2 but i cant find anything in the BRB to back this up.

Can anyone help?

Look at their Special Rules. Smash imparts a set AP2 for close combat attacks, regardless of using the half attack/double strength part of the rule.

Flying Monstrous Creatures when Vector Striking are AP3.

edit: If the Bone Swords haven't been FAQ'd with an AP value, then they still ignore armor.... which doesn't matter much for the Monstrous Creatures, but is still good for Warriors. But since they may just ignore armor, they don't have an AP value and wouldn't add anything for vehicle damage.
