You know, I would be fine with the current Biovore if it weren't for the supid looking "knuckle pushups" front limbs on it. I'm not a fan of its face either, but the limbs are the worst offender to me.

I don't know about "wang jokes", but "Termagant", "Harpy", and "Harridan" are all synonyms meaning "woman of unpleasant disposition".

The more recent images of Biovores have shown them on a 60mm base. GW may be repackaging the entire box to Finecastize the Biovore and make it a 60mm base.

If it makes you feel any better, many of the Tyranids are named after various words for "angry woman".

It's like there's a ideological echo in here.

I agree. I hate the 4th Ed. one. The pyrovore makes a much better model for the biovore, imo.

There will be a Harpy special character called Hillary

The 3rd edition sculpt of that model was horrible too

NB : might be a little NWs

Dammit you guys...
I got really excited that suddenly a bunch of people has posted in this thread and started commenting about pictures...

...then I saw the pictures...

That is just too disturbing for words. I thought this was the Tyranid Second Wave thread, not not Hideous Photos of a Horrible Person thread.

Alright, let's keep the Republican Hillary bashing to a minimum. Politics go in the OT forum.

Nobody said anything about politics. Like everyone else, I'd rather be discussing the Tyranid kits that we could be getting sometime soon.

I just want a plastic Hive Tyrant with options for a Swarmlord. If you give me that, I'll be forced to break my embargo on Finecast and start up my Nids again.

Of course, if they did make a plastic Hive Tyrant/ Swarmlord kit, you wouldn't necessarily need to break your Finecast embargo/ boycott. Just if you wanted any Zoanthropes, Venomthropes, Lictors, Pyrovores, Tyrant Guard, Hive Guard, Broodlords or anything else they put into Finecast. That's all. Sometimes you can still find some of those in metal on eBay, but they usually cost as much or more than the Finecast equivalent..

Am I the only one who things it would be odd for a generic plastic kit (Hive Tyrant) to include specific parts for a Special Character? Has that ever been done before, be it 40K or Fantasy?

I'd be happy with a plastic HT that just had all the HT's options. Of course then I'd have to get more HTs... I've already got 6. I don't want any more.

I don't think so. Usually Special Characters are just that - Special in and of themselves. They're not, for the most part, a simple upgrade of another model and an upgrade of a model that requires its own plastic kit.

How many Special Characters have their own plastic kit (and thus, would allow options for one build or another)? I don't think it would be too much to ask for another head, another tail barb and a spare pair of boneswords thrown into a kit.

In Fantasy, the Empire is going to be getting a plastic General on Griffon/Karl Franz kit, apparently.

Fantasy has somethings rather comparable.

The Skaven Furnace/Bell kit, the Vampire Throne/Engine, and the Khemri Warphinx/Necrosphinx are capable of creating units that are not specifically special characters, but undeniably one-ofs in an army. You simply cannot run two Coven Thrones or Screaming Bells in an army.

No 40k army really has a "special character" that would be as big as a Swarmlord. The Chaos Daemons Fateweaver comes close, but it came out before this recent trend in huge plastic kits.

Either way, knowing GW, they'll only put two Boneswords in the Tyrant kit and expect us to buy two kits to make a Swarmlord.

Pretty sure the Black Dragon for DE contains Malekith parts, and the DA ravenwing has master of the ravenwing parts.

Who said anything about kroot?

It contains parts that are 'similar' to Malekith but they most certainly aren't advertised as such.

They also make a point of still selling Malekith on the website - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440048a&prodId=prod790890

The DA Ravenwing sprues do however contain the relevant bits for a Master of the Ravenwing in Landspeeder.

Wether they have kits that can either be a special character or not is irrelevant, they can always start with the Swarmlord. Especially with how easy it would be.

Sure they'll most likely increase the price by a good 20% because of the few extra pieces... But that's GW for ya.

I'm not saying it's not possible, only that it would surprise me. That's all.

That said, as nice as a plastic Tyrant would be, I'd rather a Tervigon/Tyrannofex and a Transportofex.

All it needs is some mandibles around the mouth, a split tail and four boneswords and it matches the artwork.

Not putting the options in a plastic Tyrant box would be surprising, even if it is a special character.

Let's cross our fingers and maybe we'll get all three.

Don't belittle Hillary!

What rules does transport fex get? new WD supplement?

so far they are missing those transport spores that is in the codex

Wow... 16 pages and no new gribbly pics, I am disappoint.

Please, let there be new kits soon.
