I think we should all synchronize watches and call GW at the same exact time and tell them we wanna order Tyranid battleforces and codexes.

What other Nid models? I could only find the Battleforce was unavaiable, what else is unavailable or removed?

The codex.

Oddly enough, when I first started playing 40k, I called my 'nid Hive Fleet Hydra.

Same for:
Codex
And Gargoyles
Possibly the Hive tyrant.

So we have the following list:

Codex - Obviously.
Battleforce - Modified to have less in it for more money?
Gargoyles - Plastic ones surely. Will they become must have units?
Hive Tyrant - I hope they do a plastic copy of the current one, as it's an excellent design.

There have been whispers of Hive fleet Jormungandr but there are two others on their way called Hydra and Moloch. If you don't believe me look at the map in the BRB

I think I can answer both of your questions:
- Battleforce will likely contain Gargoyles instead of Carnifex.
- Gargolyes are going into the Battleforce, and getting all-new plastics - of course, they'll be must-haves!

Hmm, Is that just the US site that they aren't available. I logged into the UK site just now and Battleforces and Codices are available to purchase.

/shrug I suppose so.

Hive fleet Hydra already exists in the fluff btw:

I really do hope, whatever it is, it moves away from that horrid Hive Fleet Albino colour-scheme. Such an eyesore.

Indeed. I'm a fan of the 3rd edition paint schemes.
EDIT: and my bet's on trygons, ravenors, gargoyles, and wingled warriors/tyrants being pushed this codex.

Wingled warriors sound a little too cute!

I would love to see a hierodule included. Aren't they about the size of carnifexes?

No...

Try two to three times the size. Ain't gonna happen.

H.B.M.C. wrote:No...

Really? Thought they looked smaller. . .



And there are people mentioning Trygons?

Look at it from a marketing perspective:

The Trygon is a big, tall impressive piece they can show off. The Hierodule is just a bigger bulkier Carnifex.

Fixed that for ya
EDIT: but in all seriousness the hierodule was around when the old carnifex looked nothing like it. The modern carnifex was probably designed to make the heirodule model obsolete.

S'pose so. I remember being shocked when I saw the size of the Soul Grinder when it was released.

Hive Fleet Seaking.

Obvious name is obvious!

No, it will be Hive Fleet Trogdor. You'll have to model a big beefy arm coming out of their necks.

Personally, my small swarm is called Hive Fleet Red Snappah.

How's about Hive fleet Jaberwocky?

Their claws go snicker-snack!

I just did and all they need now is a hive fleet on the other side of the galaxy but how would they get there it would take someone with tactical geniu-

creeeeeeeeeed!

I now apologise and will get out and never return

That trygon image is a bit misleading because they're using a prone guardsman.

Trygons are about 5 and a half inches tall and only slightly wider than a hive tyrant. In other words, add a termagant's height to a hive tyrant and you're looking at the size of a trygon. Still no more mass than a rhino, and doesn't even approach land raider/soulgrinder/monolith size.

I'd like to see a Trygon inside a Monolith...

Anyhow, all the more reason the Trygon and Malenthorpe should be regular 40k models.

Maybe they will be......

Children of Jormungandr?

There is already a fleet named Ouroboros, which is greek form of Jormungandr, I believe.

A little OT, but anybody remember in the last HH DA novel, the "demon" that Luther wanted to capture said it's name was Ouroboros? Any ideas on that?

Oh yeah, and I vote for Hive Fleet "NeckBeard." It's gonna be the beardiest most TFG invasion the galaxy has seen so far. Parties shall be crashed, last beers in the fridge shall be drunk, white shoes shall be stepped on, Turtle Pie shall be eaten, and threads shall be de-railed. Fear the neckbeard.
