I see the usual Hive Tyrant + Tyrant Guard. There are no other HQ models for Tyranids.

It may be a US store thing. I still only see TG.

I can live with it being early March, less time for me to not have money.

I believe somebody had said the UK store does not display the Tyrant either. I'm glad I picked up one of the Finecast and built it. The model was in pretty good shape (for Finecast) and I like the weight and detail more than the metal model. I magnetized it and think its great.

I think I finally figured it out since I play tyranids I have been needing some models to include a hive tyrant(my three year old son got a hold of it while I was at work and decided to play with the dog......poor tyrant never had a chance). Waited patiently and there is still nothing, so I called, and of course the rep knows nothing. I think that they take stuff off and then see how many disgruntal people call asking about it. Then they see if it is worth releasing. Well i am disgruntal and called I think every tyranid player needing tyranid models should start calling let them know we need love......if we don't I shudder to think what could happen....remember the squats.

Ok maybe a little extreme but I think everyone gets my point.

Im gettin the Tyrant.

The UK site is displaying the Hive Tyrant and Tyrant Guard for me.

So does the Australian store.

It could be that they're in stock rundown for the model, and the US ran out first.

Also, this is why you always take rumours with a ton of salt.

It was mentioned several times that in North America, the Hive Tyrant is currently not available and not shown in the GW webstore.
At the same time it is available and shown in the European GW webstore. Stocks here are over 500 boxes, so far from OOP.
Could be an indication for a plastic kit coming (as one rumour says), could be something else.

From BoLS, there is a link to the Cover of Feb WD. Not sure if that means no Tyranids if they are only going off the cover.

Well looks like the rumours are wrong then if no Nid/Necron release. Was getting excited for new Nids. If no new Nids looks like my money is going to PP now.

Lean back and throw your feet up. There's a bunch of info on the WD in that other thread.

Thanks Pretre, going to do that now. And yes my feet are up.

Pretty sure they wouldn't put a 2nd wave release on the cover of WD. Doesn't discredit it entirely, but it does mean that we likely won't see anything til late Februrary, as per the new rumour.

Let's all hope for March then.

Yeah, I think I'm quite done with hoping for something from GW. I'm just going to accept the fact that Tyranids will be getting nothing until their new Codex, god knows when that'll hit, and just get on with my life...

Nothing wrong with getting enthusiastic about the rumours, but just remember, that's what they are, rumours.

This is likely a reason GW tried to keep them down a bit - White Dwarf is done 3 months ahead of release, so they obviously had no intention of releasing Tyranids this month. A few rumours guys just got a whole community hyped for a release this coming month that was never planned.

They should obviously step in and say 'no, it's not February'. But then people would get even more hyped saying that they're just doing damage control.

It's more the fact that this has been going on for years, you know? After a while it's like "ok that's it for me".

*sigh* Time to tell the rippers that they're not getting a big brother. They'll be so disappointed.

Well I guess me going ahead and building that Tyrannofex wasn't a waste of time luckily. Phew! Plus it looks pretty cool and gave me a bit of green-stuff practice.

Well that sucks.
Meh, maybe i can finish painting the nids i have first

Super disappointed they are not coming out this month, but on the bright side:

a) At least now we finally know it's not February

b) February is a (slightly) shorter month.

It's fortuitous enough for me since I'm looking at getting some battlefoam inserts for my nids this week. I won't have to worry it's taking away money better spend on big gribblies.

It's sad that we've come being thankful for this.

I'll stick with my x3 tervigon's from chapterhouse planned too anyway! It's about 60% gw parts anyway lol

What they should do is post some form of 'upcoming' schedule so customers know what to expect. Something as vague as:

December WD: "Coming soon... new xenomorphs spotted in sector ASDFG"
January WD: "Coming very soon... the Hive Fleet grows"
February WD: "Coming next month... mighty new Tyranid creatures!"

That gives the customer increasing levels of information for which to budget, and would likely result in increased sales for the release month. Instead they assume everyone is a kid with infinite pocket money who will snap up the latest release just because "it's new", and because there's no sign of anything more interesting.

You must be new to this whole 'Games Workshop' caper to say a thing like that..

The next White Dwarf/set of releases will be released on Saturday 25th February, right? So technically, there could still be Tyranids/Necrons released that month.....

One of the reasons many companies don't announce their products too far ahead of time is that people would be much less likely to buy prior to the release.

If GW told you that a Tervigon and Transportofex and ReallyAwesomeYetExpensiveofex were to be released this July, you'd be much less likely to buy anything from then until then. The way things are now, you're more inclined towards impulse buys here and there to feed your addiction to "The Games Workshop" hobby. When the new Tyranids roll around, you're delightfully surprised and poor... but you're going to save up and buy the stuff eventually.

As much as I dislike that strategy, it works on me atleast.

If i knew whats comming up, chances are I'll save up for one that I like more.

If i dont know whats comming, I might buy an army i like , now.
And when the one i love come out, I'll cave in and get it as well.

Now GW makes more from me TT-TT
