Can't. There's no Games Workshop Hobby magnets, and if they're not Games Workshop Hobby they don't exist.

As opposed to gw hobby blutac?

You mean the stuff Gary Morley used to sculpt with?

Don't give them ideas.

"Games Workshop Hobby Magnets" consist of buying another kit.

true, but there is no GW blu-tac either!

One thing I notice about the TWC... They have Thousand Sons on their bases....

Do those 1k sons look any different from the current kit? Because if so, I think we're getting an expanded preview

And if you really wanted to, you could spruce up the carnifex even more with some greenstuff...

Haven't you heard about the upcoming Fine-Tac

I would have thought that the 'Eavy Metal team would know how to use magnets for this very reason. Having said that shouldn't there be a number of stages between 'finished paint job' and 'put on the website' where various people check their work and it gets approved. I hope GW just laugh it off and post new images up and then maybe have a tutorial in WD for how to magnetise your own big gribblies.

What's the bet that this will be their April fools efffort this year?

So there was no Ymgarl Genestealer.

Whose rumour was that?

Stickmonkey or Ghost21, who are about equally valid.
(IE: Not at all)

Why not just use the tendril heads to make ymgarls? I wouldnt buy a new model

Cryage wrote:Why not just use the tendril heads to make ymgarls? I wouldnt buy a new model

I'm pretty sure this is what everyone does. It was what I did. Buy 5 boxes of Genestealers and you have enough to make 30 Stealers and 10 Ymgarls.

Just ordered me a couple of tervigon kits from thewarstore. Cant wait til they get here! I really wanted a swarmlord kit as well, but I guess that will have to wait, as the wife isn't working right now and my hobby budget is tight. Now I need to go on a great crusade to find some cheap second hand termagants lol

Cryage wrote:Why not just use the tendril heads to make ymgarls? I wouldnt buy a new model

It was less a new kit, and more a one-off Ymgarl, a bit like the one-off Flash Git GW did.

'Twas the rumor, but I sincerely doubt it, given its source.

It would have been best to discount it anyways, considering how abysmally the Flash Git model seems to have sold.

Maybe that could be pinned on the fact that people wanted a unit, not a single over-priced Direct Only model.

And because Flash Gits suck.

Undeniably so. But that won't matter in GW's eyes. They'll see it as "Well, we made what was wanted--and they didn't buy it!".

If they did the original Ymgarl stealer that would be something special. And NO Ymgarl stealers dont look like regular human host purestrains with some tentacles on the mouth...

So, how many people are gonna buy the Tervigon/Tyrannofex instead of continuing to use their nerfed, overcosted Carnifexes like they've been doing ever since the current Codex Tyranids came out? What next, GW, an official GW plastic Nob Bikers unit?

I'm pretty happy with DarkGear's idea:

Saw the new Terv' advertised at GW HQ today. Not impressed. :/ I mean, it's nice I guess? But it doesn't really fit the image of the 'Nids I have.

I have to laugh a bit. Not at you, but we all complain that GW does nothing to advance 40K, and finally GW does something and changes something in 40K and people sill complain about it. Damned if they do, damned if they don't eh?

It's not that, I like change, and a lot of the 'Nid changes have been positive (last wave better than this one in improvements, but this one still improves upon that). I just find the body shape of the Tervigon too.. Oxen? I always imagined it more like a hive-insect queen, and find the cavernous body wrapped around two gaunt-chutes, with the cowlike posture just looks.. Meh. Doesn't fit my army, nor my preferred look for 'Nids?

Not all change is good, that doesn't mean I don't like change. And a meh Tervi (imho) model is better for the army than no Tervi at all.

Personally I like the new Tervigon/Tyrannofex model.

The only quirk I find is I would have preferred the massive chin.mounted Acid Spray/Fleshborer Hive in the artwork.

I also feel the Tervigon is a littlie too skinny. In the artwork it is a chunky mum, with a small brood thing. The model is quite skinny with a large bag.

Also, the Tfex is.not wide or armourdd enough.



The swarmlord's bonesabres I would prefer to be more binsword like, his head with 2 serrerated crests and with mandibles, and a forked tail.

The tyrant is the same and the flyrant is fine.

I like the tyrant the most because it's exactly the same. The old sculpt was great and I was worried that GW would screw it up by making a new plastic one.

I was gonna pick up a not so finely cast tyrant, now I'm just gonna wait for the plasticy kind. Might try and magnetize the arms so I can have the wings or swords or whatever.

Not sure if I'd rather do the tyranofex or the sac o' gaunts, so that usually means I gotta get 1 of each.

I'll continue using my Carnifexes as Carnifexes and be using the new Tervigon as a Tervigon.

The only issue I have with the Tyrannofex/Tervigon is that its hips and rear legs are a little too skinny for my tastes. It should get beefed up in that area.
