Youch!

Some scary prices in there!

And where's the Gavthrope?

(Ha! I couldn't resist! Again.)

**airmang**

wow! how do they go from $29 for a box of 10 gargoyles, then $44.50 for 3 Raveners. those raveners are going to have to be huge or someting...

**MajorTom11**

45 bucks for 3 models... dodgy.

Interested to see all this stuff though, although that venomthrope looks a bit... dodgy too lol.
Hoping there will be some bits in the mix i can co-opt for some hybrids!

**aka_mythos**

$45 for 3... sounds like GW's given them good rules and want to capitalize.

**acreedon**

their pricing is consistent, fast attack boxes that come in groups of three are always that price. just like space marine bikes.

i hope they are nasty and i can't wait to see the new models.

Does anyone think it is odd that the trygon is on 50 dollars? Do you think they will release an apocalypse model like a heirdule (sp)?

**MilkmanAl**

That's fine by me, I guess. I've been wanting to use Raveners since the 3rd edition codex came out, but they've always sucked donkey nuts. I'm planning on dumping a ton of cash after this codex release anyway, so bring on the price tags, GW! I'll suck it up to FINALLY have usable Gargoyles and Raveners.

**airmang**

@acreedon - yeah, i guess your right. and i didn't realize the current ravenors are $20 a pop now. so this is actually a decrease in their price. well i've already got 1000pts in ravenors alone, but i'll still pick up one box of them. guess it's just a bit of a shock seeing all the prices together like that.

**Fizyx**

So they are just going to repackage three metal Ravonors in a box set? I mean, I dig the price decrease, but was hoping for plastic.

In any case, thanks for the info. Can't wait to see the new codex.

**Chapterhouse**

Being a veteran tyranid player (15 years almost) I have to say ouch on those prices!

I think the ravenors will be badass units, so I am glad I have my old metal ones (12 figures) painted up now! (thats like $180 worth according to the new prices)

I will stick with my 36 2nd edition metal gargoyles though (2nd edition ones are much easier to assemble and use then the 3rd edition ones).

Anyone else ever thought of their unpainted 40k figures like gold? They keep going up in value (according to GW)

Well, theres been a talk about that too in finland. Actually the value of Minis doesnt go up (unless some collector wants to buy your 2nd ed. Golbins on eBay) exep for the special and limited characters. Think about Harry the Hammer on eBay 10 yeas from now!

Great that the Nids are being updated, they need it.
The prices are creepy...

**reds8n**

Via Warseer from.. around....

Venomthrope, HIve Guard, Gargoyle and Ravener.

**Izual**

They look awesome!!!
Love the look of the hiveguard and gargoyles!!!!

**Schepp himself**

I don't see creepy prices...
Raveners are what now, 20$? So where's the problem that they go down in price? Sure, they are just 3 plastic models similar toi the size of warriors which cost 35$. So the extra tenner is freakin you out?

The Traygon at 50$ is rather cheap, imo. I would have guessed it costed 50€ (that's 75$) like the land raider.

10 Gargoyles for 29$ is a good deal. They are freakin 13,50$ for two now!

So please, just because there are no other rumors to ... about, don't get crazy on the prices.

Venomthrope: When Fexs and Zoenthropes fornicate, with some whipping involved.
Hive Guard: Dakka Guards!
Gargoyles: hopefully not wonky and full of ‘tipping over…doubt it.
Ravenors….at least not metal…

Though, I don’t mind the new dex, always nice to see what’s next in line when codex creep is involved…maybe the Tyranids will be the new Daemons…or Lost and the Damned….er…./shrug.

**Aduro**

Ravener looks to be following the line of the Warriors, which I love, so he's awesome.

Gargoyle looks cool too, though I notice they moved the wings from middle limb to top limb. And they gave purpose to the rear limbs it looks like, as an extra support for wings.

The Hive Guard looks ok I guess. I think I like the current Tyrant Guard better.

I'm still up in the air about the Venomthrope. It looks like a bad anime cliche.

**Neith**

Ravener looks decent, pretty much exactly as expected.

Venomthrope I've already said looks horrible.

Hive Guard...I know it's meant to be a version of Tyrant Guard but seriously, I expected more of a change- and with a gun that long on a metal model, it looks like it may tip over.

I was hoping for something a bit more radical I guess, but Raveners still look great.

**ShumaGorath**

I don't think I like that gargoyle, the arms seem tacked on. I love the new ravener head though.

**RogueMarket**

Interestingggg looking stuff - not sure how to take it heh.

**ph34r**

I predict nobody buys raveners or pyrovores at these prices.

**Altimera**

I'm buying both a venomthrope and a pyrovore just so I can use their names during the course of the game. Also, who wouldn't take at least 5 minutes making jokes during the assault phase with a venomthrope?

**Mattlov**

ph34r wrote:I predict nobody buys raveners or pyrovores at these prices.

Again, why would we NOT buy Raveners when they are CHEAPER now by 25%? 3 for $45 is a helluva lot better than 3 for $60, I don't see a need to complain about the price.

**Aduro**

What's the big fuss over the Pyrovore's price when we ain't even seen the thing yet? The current Biovore is just under $30, and the Pyro's supposed to be a bigger version so of course it's going to cost more. Some of these prices are kind of high yeah, but they're right in line with everything else people have already been paying for GW stuff, so I fail to see how people are surprised or act like this is something new and unseen before.

**Kogwar**

I like the old ravernor head better, the gargoyles ok, but i really don't like the tirant guard i like the curent one though it could just be bad posing

**Schepp himself**

That Ravener looks good, but as they haven't changed its style, that's no surprise. The Gargoyls I like, but there is no indication that they will have an melee option so a pass for me.
The Lash-thingy is still lame x2 and the Hive Guard is meh. A Guard with a gun. Woopey!

Fething sweet!

**Kogwar**

I hope the trygon is 45.50 and full size that would be frakin awsome.
