Love the Pharaoh-chin thing they got going on. Unfortunately they look even more top-heavy than the metal/Finecast ones.

It works in both

Bringing over into new page.

They do, but being plastic they won't be as heavy.

They look like they'll at least be as stable as a Flyrant

Yea I like the look of the old ones better. Maybe now there will be a better reason to take them besides cheap batteries.

You may still have to worry about a swift breeze or a bump on the table though, even if they're plastic. The Neurothrope especially looks unstable with his even bigger headgear.

I'm happy my old Malantai mod will work just fine.

Here's a pic of campaign book from Tyranid Hive:

Wow, thats a really pretty book set. Those Thropes look great as well! Ordered myself a Tyrannocyst... definitely going to be considering picking up this campaign or a set of Zoanthropes, even though I don't really need more Thropes/Venoms. A Neurothrope would be nice if the rules are good.

Yup. That confirms it. No one is getting anything from me for Christmas.

Thanks to all you brave reposting souls!

That looks fantastic! Good bye sweet pay check.

Never tip a model over again(unless you're as clumsy as me, hah). I grabbed a pack of those a few weeks back, I've done 32 25mm square bases and six cavalry bases and there's still half of the bag left, and the result is surprisingly weighty, plastic models mounted on them feel almost as heavy as an equivalently-sized metal model on an unweighted base. I recommend putting the lead balls in first and levelling them, then drip thin superglue over the top of them, and once that's dry use a bit of putty and seal the bottom.

As for these Zoanthropes...damn. Fair play, GW have nailed it, I'm actually having to argue myself out of buying a box(I don't actually have any need for them at all....they're just so nice).

Not a fan of the Zo's. They took away the bulbous psychic alien look. They look so conventional now.

I'm getting me that book!

I'm looking at my current zoey and I too prefer the current models! still pretty cool though.

Those Zoanthropes look pretty good IMO. They have a bit of 2nd ed style to them mixed with 3rd ed Hive Tyrant and Zoanthropes.

While I prefer the look of the Old Zoeys. (I think the new Venomthropes look way better though) I'd much rather get these which look almost as nice, but are plastic. My metal ones have caused no end to agony.

*Drools* me likey =D

Thought I'd leave this here for you guys, looks like a new Broodlord, similar to Space Hulk but still unique. Perhaps the new guy from the BA box?

That new Broodlord is beautiful.

So just pyrovore/biovore left for plastic?

I really think Fighter Aces and Cities of Death should have been included in a separate book. Doesnt seem fair to make non-nid players to shell out big bucks for what should essentially be core rules.

Or it provides everyone with a reason to want to pick up the new book. Spin positive.

There will probably be a downloadable content for just the game rules at some point. Similar to planet strike that was in the Sanctus Reach books.

Still waiting on plastic Lictors...


So what's left to see in this WD? We haven't seen the new rules page for Zoanthrope Broods, or the preview for next week's issue. That's all I can think of.

That broodlord does look dope but I wish I could make it ymargl... And look like a lictor...

Well, so much for a unique Prime model. Maybe this Broodlord will be available for general sale too. It would suck to have two plastic Broodlords, but only in limited boxes!

Pyrovores, Biovores, Lictors, Deathleaper, The Red Terror, Shrikes and Sky-Slasher Swarms, to be exact.
