True. Deathwatch/Genestealer Cult will almost certainly be the next board game after EF and Calth. But not this year.

Cheers! No sign of the big Nid beastie then I take it?

What if the two are unrelated? What if it's Gene cult is coming AND nids get a psychic giant monster (something to match knights).

Sad Panda, is there a chance for another campaign book in the next weeks? Tau vs Tyranids? You mentioned the odd decurion for Tau in upcoming campaign books and last years Leviathan and Exterminatus were doing exactly this (for Necrons and Nids as far as I remember - before the new Necron codex arrived in Jan 2015).

To be honest 'nids are the only army I can think of that actually had something downgrade from Gargantuan to MC - hello Mr Trygon! We all remember you.

Wasn't the FW Trygon bigger though?

Oh lord, if both my armies get updated in a two month span (Nids and Tau) I don't know that I'll be able to keep the heat on through winter...

Is it ok for me to wish for a massive necron walker to combat everyone else's walkers and giant monstrous creatures?

Doesn't look like it.

What's wrong with the giant pyramids of doom and giant laser turrets?

Thanks for the info, man.

Guys like you and Hastings are reliable as can be, but it's been such a long wait for Genestealer Cult stuff that I can still hardly believe it. Of course, I guess the big question is exactly what form the GCult stuff will take in 40K...Tyranid army list entry, codex of their own, etc.

I'd say that I can't wait, but I actually can. If it's definitely going to happen...I can be patient and wait 'til next year. I'm just glad it's happening.

Yeah, I only both versions and they're basically identical in size. The FW version just has much nicer details.

EF?

Execution Force.

Ah, thanks.

This literally made my day yesterday hearing this... if we can get a Knight or Knigh+ sized GMC I would well I would buy 3 but I would also cry tears of joy.. maybe literally. I really cannot wait.. this coupled with the rumor that nids get a full release early in 2016 is too much. Thank god I've got a bunch of gift cards to local shops otherwise I think I'd have to worry about financial ruin too.

New super psychic monster? Independent army? A Genestealer cult release would bring me back to spending money on GW again....

Alan Merrett isn't a fan of Genestealer Cult, which is why they haven't really been seen in a long time outside of BL novels. I'd absolutely love to see them again but I wouldn't count on it. They're still mentioned in the fluff, so I wouldn't take much heed in that - Squats were mentioned in the 6th ed rulebook and we haven't seen hide nor beardhair of them yet.

What's EF and Calth ?

The first is probably Execution force, as others have mentionned, but I have no clue about the second

Calth is likely to be the Horus Heresy boardgame which comes with plastic Marines (and hopefully more than the leaked ones) that is rumored to be available for preorder in early November 2015.

What is the 'thrope model that is a FW exclusive? Would be cool if they released that in GW plastic. Plastic Lictors would be neat too. If they do a small range update of Nids every year, I would be fine with it. But likely we are going to be seeing Nids released for 7th soon enough. Yay two year rules turnover!

Only just got the last codex in preparation of starting nids lol

That's not new though. If I remember right, Tyranids are the only race other than Space Marines to get a new codex every edition since 2nd.

Imperial Guard, too. Who could also use an update.

Although I'd argue that no army has been as all over the place as Tyranids have been.

2nd edition codex - Fast and deadly
3rd edition rulebook list - Slow moving steamroller horde
3rd edition codex - Mutable genus and mutant hordes
4th edition codex - Dakkafex spam, Stealer Shock
5th edition codex - Tervigons, Trygons and Swarmlord, oh my!
6th edition codex - FMC spam

Plus some transitional variants after edition switches.

Every codex writer has interpreted them differently. It'd be nice if they could choose a very general approach and stick with it for more than one edition.

But then you wouldn’t have to re-buy your army every edition. Let’s not talk crazy here.

Actually, that reminds me. I prolly shouldn't spend the money to build out Skyblight right now.. Should wait for the new codex and stick to my guns as a primarily groundbound swarm...

I must be one of the few Nid players that doesn't want to see a new codex, but that's only because I don't want to see a bunch of stuff get invalidated and just poof into the ether.

Right now, there's Leviathan, the codex and a mass of dataslates. However, considering that they just dropped War Zone Damocles: Kauyon for the Tau that's supposed to have "Everything in it" for Tau, gives me a little bit of hope, if they do drop a new 'dex for us.

I don't think we'll get new stuff in November though, I'm thinking it won't happen until Jan..which is everything I've heard from various sources. I dunno if it'll just be Genstealer Cult or what though.

Nothing about the Tau was invalidated or removed. A new Tyranid codex would simply collect all the new stuff from last year, and almost certainly a Bugcurion detachment and the various formations under a single cover.

Still, the Chaos part of me can't help but feel insanely jealous that yet another army could likely be jumping the cue ahead of us.
