Look what's been floating about the tubes today Tyranid fans!

Now that is a mighty interesting creature there. It looks part Zoanthrope, Ravenor, Malanthrope, with a dash of Lictor for flavoring...

Various advance price lists are now showing up with the following creepy crawlies on them:

Pyrovore: (rumored to be a fire-based biovore variant giving the nids a strong indirect fire option)
Toxathrope: (probably the bug above, and sounding like a minor variant of a malanthrope/zoanthrope based on its name, size, and appearance)
Trygon: (the big guy himself, but still no word of whether its in the codex, or Apocalypse only)

Not sure how I feel about the names. They could definitly have done a bit more digging, rather than just using the previous terms with "toxic" and "pyro" thrown in. I'm also not sure how I feel about that model, but for some reason I'm having an incredibly hard time making out whats going on with it. Maybe I'm just tired. Either way, new tyranids models for new tyranid creatures for the first time in years is getting me pretty pumped about it all. I do love the buggies.

I agree entirely, those names just seem to be uninspired.
The model is rather blah as well - Its tail seems to be far to narrow to do anything, let alone hold it up. Ive got no idea whats going on with its arms, are they scything talons or lash whips?

Oh well, perhaps the other models will be a bit more interesting.

probably because its a white model on a white background from a pretty bad angle for showing the arms...

anyway, im pretty excited to get the bugs back out with some new reinforcements as well...

Yeah, metal models are a PitA to work with. I can't use anything else on them except 2-part epoxy gel, or I'll glue my fingers together.

Is that her general opinion of Warhammer or that model specifically?

My tuppence worth is that it is not the worst model ever sculpted by GW, but it doesn't generate the excitement that some of the new Skaven minis have.

I see a mini-Malanthrope with extra long Lash Whip arms.

I'm betting it is metal.

And I'll guess a price of $26.25 USD.

So I can now, after a few minutes staring, see that all four limbs are extended into those whips.

Not overly sold on it frankly.

And the names were a bit rushed eh?

Erm... how is expressing a dislike for something disclosed in the News and Runors section (something we all do on a daily basis) trolling?

Accusing someone of trolling is a fairly major issue here mate, I don't think Lunahound was trolling here.
