Hard to say to be honest, It's quite possible one of the lictor flavours or the 'vore could be tbh. Ultimately it's a tail and gun swap and whilst they're not small components the rest of the sculpt looks very fixed and push fit..

The SM ATV and Necron Doomstalker also aren't small so could be that.
The Termagant could also count as the second one as I would be surprised if the new weapons aren't pushfit when the bodies are. And although its not a single model like the other EtB kits where, it ouwld only be a single new sprue as the bodies are the Leviathan ones so would fit

Someone paired them up and the bodies of the termagants shown matches the Leviathan ones precisely, so they're almost certainly just an extra arms sprue.

They did say explicitly in the stream that this is an upgrade of the Leviathan Termagants . Thinking they might come in 20s? The Hormagaunts definitely look like they could come as 20s because they won't have any options at first look.

No chances. 10 max per box. Rippers base being the only bonus.

Hormagaunts have never really had any options. Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs were in there, but in general they are treated like most upgrades and often more decoration than formal parts of the model. Simply because, like most upgrades, there's no point building an army with every possible combo so that you can pick and choose when you had to remove a few points or add a few here and there

Actually no. I recently built some old hormagaunts and their sprue didn't have adrenal glands nor toxins sacs.
You were supposed to cannibalize the termagant sprue that did have such options for them (there have been many boxes that came with both units, but it definitely felt like an issue each time you bought them separately).

Ahh I might be miss remembering that cause a lot of my old kits came as bundles/boxed sets so often when I had hormagaunts I had regular gaunts in there too

The soon to be replaced ones originally came in a box of 8 Termagants and 8 Hormagaunts (and a swarm), and were often sold together in larger boxes for years, so it's a natural assumption since the biomorph sprue fits both kits perfectly.

Genestealers and gaunts: Not bad, but a bit boring. Would like to see them in another paintscheme than the terrible leviathan one

Lictors and friends: Ace, the skirt on deathleaper is a terrible idea, but the rest of the alternatives are great

Norn Emissary: Great is not strong enough of a word for how cool this is.

Vore: Terrible, juste terrible. Look like a bad conversion. Hard pass

Nice updates for the gaunts. I like that the Genestealers will have enough tentacle heads for the whole squad. High time and enough of a reason for the update alone. Lictors are, well, I like the normal Lictors. The Neurolictor's pose, though? It cannot be unseen (spoilered for size).



Honestly not sure what to make of the 'vores. That's a pretty big departure. No opinion until I see 360s, provided GW even does them anymore.

Similarly I'll reserve judgment on the Hive Tyrant +1.
