Q: Does Shadow in the Warp affect psykers who are taking a Psychic test whilst embarked within a transport vehicle? (p33)
A: Yes.

\o/ you are no longer safe from the hivemind while hiding in your bawkses!

Also, so sorry KFF:

Q: Can a unit take cover saves from any source other than the terrain they are in, or touching, against Wounds caused by an impaler cannon? (p47)
A: No.

Some faith in sanity at GW has been restored.

Yup, all welcome.

Still cant target powers into vehicles though. Yeah like a foot of adamantium is going to stop the Hive Mind.

I wasn't aware that the KFF was an issue for impaler cannons
Nob bikers not getting their exhaust cloud does hurt, however.

This helps.

I take back half the bad things I said about them.

Some nice changes...I was really hoping they would allow independent characters to join units in Spore Pods, but I guess we'll take what we can get.

Also, you still get cover saves against the Doom of Malan'Tai He's literally sucking your soul out...but you'll be ok if you're behind a fence. Maybe next update

And you don't go at Initiative 1 for assaulting through the venomthrope's spore cloud for the reason "It's not terrain". Except ofcourse, you go at I1 because you take a test, not because you actually go through terrain.

But hurrah for swarmlord and tyrant guard being 1 KP now

Thank god shadow of the warp got its nuts back. It was bs that psychic hoods affected units in transports but shadow didn't. The nids need all the help they can get. Hooray for impaler cannons getting their rightful boost. Now they just need cheaper tyrants and a pre faq doom.

Good update. I've always gnashed my teeth at the Shadow in the Warp ruling.

I wish they had fixed the Spore Pod issue, but alas.

I'm curious if we are going to see some new rules in next months White Dwarf, since a rumored Nid second wave is coming out.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about a second wave.

Rumours are saying we're getting it, but that we may be disappointed in what gets a release. Which may mean a plastic Hive Tyrant (since the US online store kicks you back to the homepage for trying to buy one) and a Harpy. A model everyone already has and a model people don't particularly want.

I really hope it's a Tervigon/Tyrannofex release, either as two single kits or a dual kit, but the comment of us maybe being disappointed makes me think it won't be.

Now, to actually field a Hive Tyrant or not..

I hope for a Tervigon kit to and the Hive Tyrant kit comes with wings.

Well, if the Tyrant kit has wings, it'll be a whole new kit - one of the rumours was Tyrant wings were coming in a plastic kit that also included Swarmlord arms. The downside is the model is even bigger. I believe the source said it was at least an inch taller than the current Tyrant.

Well at least we still have the clown car of the codex, the Pyrovore.

One thing I do not like about Tyranids is that most of the HQ choices do not have a kit so you have to do a lot of converting.

To be fair, Tyranid Primes are Tyranid Warriors. That's why they're on the Warrior bestiary page, and described as the apex of the Warrior genus. So they have models for their two main generic HQ's.

I agree that the complete lack of their 'special character' HQ's is criminal though. Only book ever launched without any of their special HQ's represented.

I don't see the hive tyrant at all on the US site.
