Saw this on Natfka. Didn't see anything posted here.

http://natfka.blogspot.ca/2015/10/rumors-of-nid-november.html

Nid November? That has a certain familiar ring to it. This is a rumor that is showing up now, and I am hoping that we can get some solid confirmations and additional information soon on this. A super psychic monster and gigantic creatures as a separate army sounds interesting.

These are rumors at this point. I am digging to see what else shows up alongside this, but hopefully we will get more info soon. Seeing 40k continue into November is a good thing.

Our little mole at Warhammer World has been whispering:
"In November a new Tyranid army is being launched as 'super psychic' monsters with new psychic monstrous and gigantic creatures being released as a independent army like the mechanicum and cult mechanicum"

If true, god help us what the pricing will be. Seeing what Tau is, I am really hoping this rumour is false so I can buy Christmas gifts first and not miss out on any limited edition stuff that could go on with Nids.

Then again, rumour is new army, not a new codex. So who knows, it could be like last year, in November I believe, Nids could just get new minis and rules.

**angelofvengeance**

Well.. the nids don't seem to have much in the way of GMC's at the moment outside of Forge World stuff... Though they did have a new psychic monster last time? I'll keep this super salty though until we have more reliable sources than Natfka and FB Adeptus Astartes

**rollawaythestone**

Excited for Nids. The summer of AoS and the ensuing ennui has sapped my interest in GW. Here's hoping the Nids can bring me back.

**Wonderwolf**

Is this gonna come out before or after Tzeentch Daemonkin?

**Zach**

Pft yea, and Grizzly Adams had a beard.

**timd**

November of which year?

**SharkoutofWata**

I almost hope not... Plastic Heresy, Eldar Exodites, new Nids, new Chaos... If all these rumors are true, I'll have to spend the moth in my wallet too...

Eldar Exodites? Have i missed something

**SharkoutofWata**

IA:11 is rumored to be the next Imperial Armour being redone. Atleast according to Natfka.

it's not rumoured, it's confirmed, but that's Corsairs, not Exodites

**SharkoutofWata**

Oh that's right. Corsairs. My mistake. Too caught up on dino riding.

**luke1705**

All I have to say is:

Let it be a dominatrix. Please let it be a dominatrix. Don't even care when the new codex comes out if it's a dominatrix

**Warhams-77**

An interesting rumor, thanks for sharing it. How reliable has Adeptus Astartes been in the past? They are not on Pretre's tracker yet, are they?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

They certainly have some sort of connection in GW (although I've not seem anything very far in advance from them),

but they've also put up putuative info with 'with salt' warnings and later retracted them as they've proved to be junk,

so I belive they've been handed the rumour from somebody they trust to some extent (so not cilckbait city),

but not necessarily that it will turn out to be right

**Dryaktylus**

Don't know... What kind of army should that be? The Hive Mind incarnate? An elite force blasting the enemy away and/or doing some Enslaver stuff?

That's the epitome of 'super psychic' and 'gargantuan', sure. But it exists to controll and lead huge swarms to big for mere Hive Tyrants, not a circle of elite psykers. Would be cool, though.

If it's true I guess the Maleceptor will get some new rules (easy to manage, it's not in the codex).

**Medium of Death**

I hope it doesn't look derpy.

Please GW give Nids something very nice.

Spoiler:

**Warhams-77**

It would most certainly sell a lot

Thanks, Orlando, good to know

Plastic Hierophant anyone?

Heirophant isn't psychic. Gigantic psychic Tyranid (psychic) screams Dominatrix.

I'll be honest, if they do a good 40k scale Dominatrix model, I'll do my best to hunt one down at a good discount. I've wanted one for a long time.

You and me both brother. If of course, by "hunt one down at a discount", you mean "purchase immediately and unashamedly at full retail from my FLGS"

Not bashing bargain hunting FWIW. Just very excited by even the remote possibility

**Harriticus**

Lol wtf, an independent army? God GW's greed affecting the lore is hardly new but this is just sad

**Fishboy**

I recall someone saying a Genestealer cult was inbound. I was not around for the original G-Cult but they may have a psychic hitch and maybe a big papa cult leader.

Patriarchs (now Broodlords) are not gigantic by any interpretation of the word. Neither is anything else associated with Genestealers.

Also, Alan Merett hates them, so don't expect them to ever make a return.

**H.B.M.C.**

It'd be a real shame if the Genestealer Cult rumours amounted to just a new super-expensive plastic super-psychic 'Nid creature and a Codex.

The original rumour was a board game GSC vs. Deathwatch - this new rumour doesn't sound related.

I guess he did, maybe he still do. But I don't think that matters that much anymore. He approved so many things in the past years that I wonder if he's still in the position to just say 'No'.

While not exactly the most psychic thing in the Tyranid arsenal, it kinda is psychic as it has a warp field and back in 4th edition it was a psyker.

**Fayric**

If true, it sounds like fun.
It would be strange to se a new army with brand new fluff though. Mechanicum and Harlequins had a solid fluff base,
so this approach of something unheard of sounds like a brand new approach for GW.

Lets hope its a Daemon kin style fusion, where the tyranids use psychic mindcontrol
to get human allies/slaves, or something.

Edit: When I think about it, it sounds unlikely GW would gamble with something brand new at this point.
AoS is probably still to much of a gamble with new stuff and lore, so they probably play 40k
really safe for now, like with releasing a new codex and gargantuans for one of their top tier Xenos, Tau.

**Clang**

A 'new army'? Nah, not unless that just means someone's army is featured in Visions

A plastic mega-nid? Just maybe. Converting a FW beasty into plastic would seem relatively little work.

Genestealer Cult? Also just maybe, although not sure what they'd do re models. The _sensible_ option for Cultists themselves would be a conversion set for use with any humanoid models you like (IG, Chaos cultists, quite a few WHFB models), but GW would probably be too scared that customers would use such a kit on non-GW models. So a specific Genestealer Cultists kit would be more likely, even though it would be rather similar to e.g. Chaos cultists.

But so long as they release a Cultist limousine, I won't be complaining

**silverstu**

The gene stealer cult is a different rumour - from Hastings on warseer so pretty reliable but no time frame and he mentioned hybrids, limo, magus type release. This might be Tyranids:Bio knight-type feel with a single kit maybe building a psychic version [dominatrix] and assault/shooty build. A single kit/book release would be doable in the timeframe. As much as I really, really want a lovely big Nid kit- for that reason alone I doubt it and doesn't this sound like the BoLs release rumours earlier in the year which were bobbins?
Hope it is true, doubt it though.

**streetsamurai**

Genestaeler cult is oretty much a given. Hasting is the most reliabke.rumourmonger, and its not a coincidence that the new sm codex mention the purge of a cult
