So am I reading wrong, or is the crone only thing in the whole codex that can shoot fliers with non-snapshots?  :P

Flying Hive Tyrant with Devs can also handle Flyers while swooping. Other than that, nope. Basically no skyfire on anything.

So many comments ..

Welcome to not being a space marine. Would be one

As a spacewolf player who has nothing that flys with out takeing allies i grel your pain ..(cant bring alliea to purists turnaments)

Good news that was pointed out.  You can bring fortifications so bring the defense line man it with cheep gaunts and you have a plan

In edit my nid army doesnt have anything that shoots ..flying rippers ftw!

Defense lines? I can't believe this!!!

Oh well.

So I guess it comes down to two choises:

1. Convert a tyranidy defense lines

2. Convert a ready defense line with operators under "alien influence". :-D

Yup, your choices for killing flyers are hive crones or devourer wielding winged tyrants
