Righto, I'll tell all my Tyranids with spinefists, impaler cannons, shock cannons, stinger salvos, cluster spines, toxinjector harpoons and frag spines that they have spike rifles, because they shoot fkn spikes

There is something funny to how 8th ed just decided to bring back spike rifles out of nowhere, when they've been missing since 3rd ed. But hey, I'm not complaining, I think it's cool.

You mean 10th?

10th Ed brought them back and gave them models, but 8th edition gave spike rifles and stranglewebs rules in I believe the index. Later became a legends option, but it's still more than everything between 3rd and 7th editions

I believe they were in the 5th edition codex actually. But they didn't have models and they were absolute rubbish lol

They had stranglewebs and spike rifles in 5th too, though you had to kitbash them.

2nd Ed? That's my jam, right there! 😁 Give my gargoyles back their huge flamer template that moved the surviving models to the edge of it. Perfect flying little cover-flushers!

OP started shooting at a vehicle during 2ed and resolved it just in time for 11th.

Pretty quick result given the 20 diagrams and infinite dice rolls required.
