when is GW going to release pictures??

Chances are the only pics you will see before advanced orders will be leaked ones.
GW tends to keep everything in the dark, which does nothing for them really.

I'm surprised no pictures of the Trygon have popped up as of yet.

Weren't the Trygon pics leaked a long time ago?

Answer: Essentially identical to the FW version.

Just got an email from miniwargaming about new nids with the trygon listed there so we get some pics soon or we will need to wait for white dawft

You remember how last Xmas GW sent out that email showing the forthcoming Stompa..... I think the Trygon could well be similar, unless GW let something slip.

...funny how the delivery of the books which would feature said new model has all been put back until post New Year eh ? Almost like the first picture of it they want you to see is a nice pristine professionally done shot, not some blurry phonecam one.

... admittedly I suspect we'd be quite happy either way but...

It's pretty much identical to the FW version, or at least one of the variants is. The differences aren't huge for each version.Model wise anyway.

If they were more forthcoming and open with upcoming release info, there wouldn't be such a demand for blurry White Dwarf photos now would there?

I got newsletter from miniwargaming. It said which miniatures are realesed. I didn't want to make a new thread because with my luck they have already been said:
From the miniwargaming website:
I just received an update from Games Workshop as to what will be coming out in January for the Tyranid, and I wanted to pass this on to you right away.

In regards of the new Battleforce, I apogolize myself but HAHAA!
But plastic Garoyles and Raveners! I'm almost happy for you 'Nid players

I wonder what else is coming

hi will hav you checked the pictures?on page 16

Wait a fething tick.. The new Nid battle force is €80,-- again, as with the Woof force, but the Guard battle forces use the "new" pricing for battle forces, €85,--

Why are Guard players paying five Euros more than the rest?

You're right! WTF?

Does anyone know if the Hive Guard is a replacement to the Tyrant Guard? If so I'm pissed.

And is that a strangleweb on the Hive Guard?
?

I think that they may be re-naming the tyrant guard and just giving them the option to have guns. That would be cool, though this is just speculation.

So I can stop punching holes in the wall?

Never stop punching the wall. Never stop. No matter how many people tell you can't keep punching holes in the wall all your life, keep at it. One day you'll be the greatest wall holer, and you can look back at those naysayers and say, "I've never given up on my dream, I've never let others tell me what to do. Now I stand at the summit of my achievements, looking down at all others. No one can bring me down. No one."

From TTGN:

http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/2009/12/04/31882

* Tyranid Termagant Brood (12) $24.75
* Tyranid Hormagaunt Brood (12) $24.75

$2 a gaunt, that's not bad. I wonder if they still come with the upgrade sprue or not though, that's the real kicker.

This far out?

GW is supposed to have a 3 month rumor window. We're now at about, what, 6 weeks from release, and this is all we have?

Dont get Carnifex in new battleforce but get 8 more gaunts and 8 more hormagaunts!

I'm guessing the trygon is in the codex then? i mean they're sending it out in the black boxes (according to a certain someone from warseer)

Why do we all think it is a tyrgon?

It may be a scythed hirodule.

No, the fan base ASSUMES GW has always had a 3 month window because that's about how far out people were willing to compromise their NDA and risk losing jobs.

Not since, oh SH, has GW had a 3 month window. Look what the 3 month window did in the past...5 weeks before the IG codex hit shelves you could compile all the "rumours" into a perfectly playable stand alone codex complete with points costs and rules and it was 98% accurate, accurate enough that in non-tournaments you could use it.

Ork codex was more or less 98% known about 4 weeks out. The black box copies of codeciies which are meant to be shown in stores only get more or less posted on the web in their entirety because GW store owners or FLGS store owners feel they need to give the finger to GW and say "okay customers, this is the final 'Nid codex that I'm only supposed to show in the store but go ahead and take pics of it and dictate it verbatim into your iphone and then post it up on the internet."

Many people say they'd be more excited and more willing to buy a codex if they could download it as a .pdf months before it was due out. I call bullgak on that. I'm willing to bet 80% of you would download the .pdf and as long as tourney organizers and your group allowed it would give a big middle finger to GW and not actually buy the codex. I mean look at the 4 "boycott" threads that have cropped up recently.

So people thinking that GW is "obligated" to give us rumors 3 months out had better look back to the SW codex and realize the hole is being plugged. GW has never made an official statement saying "okay, we are at exactly the 90 day mark, lets release some teaser pics and rules."

I'm led to believe that 90% of the peeps whining about no rules leaks 3 months out whine because LucasArts or Fox Studios or MGM only release 3 minute preview of a movie 6 months from release and not a 60 minute preview of a movie.

It's been all but confirmed by plenty of "in the know" sources as the trygon and it's variant.

Those sources have never been wrong.

*Update* New release list has been posted up at Miniwargaming, straight from the GW mouth. Trygon is indeed out in January. That's as official as it gets.

So was this:

99120106019 Tyranid Trygon / Mawloc 1 Fig Box 16-Jan-10 $49.50

posted a bit further up...

The last I heard from my local GW manager was that GW now uses a 6 week window.

Then again said manager is so much out of the loop with rumours that he can be said to be "off-line".

No, I will not be thankful that for the fact that the only info or pictures we have from the new codex for far are these grainy pics. Any decent company would have start ramping up the marketing for this release already.

Maybe if people would use a real camera and not some iPhone piece of crap camera we'd get pics as good as the real pamphlet.

Tresson, do you also complain when movie studios only show 3 minutes of a 90 minute movie 6 months in advance and than maybe another 3 minutes within 2 months or less of the movie coming out?

There have been numerous reasons stated many times for GW not revealing 99% of everything more than a month or so out. It's actually smart practice. Could you imagine the nerd rage that would ensue if 9 months ago GW PROMISED 'Nids and then 3 months out from release changed their minds and decided to release Necrons. Sure the Necron players would be happy but it'd piss off the 'Nid players and would generally all around be bad press.

Why the hell do you think companies like Blizz and id software don't put actual release dates anymore but instead say "it'll be done when it's done".

Why do you think GW has not PROMISED a definite release date for DE and look at the negative press they get for saying "DE are being worked on and they'll get released when we are ready."

You complainers aren't happy when GW doesn't show things outside of 3 months but you also complain when they don't promise exact due dates. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

I, for one, like the new rumor policy.

I remember when the current nid edition was on the pipe, there was lots of infos about models and rules to keep bug fans busy and pumped up with antecipation, we took part on digging lots of infos and the internet was boiling with nid news and interest... Some of you were probably not here and so you cannot make a educated comparison between GW then and now.

Lets just say that today the interest is so low that I cannot be arsed to even dig anything anymore...

Yet I would like to say that I understand people expressing that their lack of interest is relationated with GW silence and I cannot understand the point of you Fateweaver constantly antagonizing people everytime anyone says something they dont like about GW... Since you admire GW silence why dont you do everyone a favour and follow that example.

Supposedly, there's no longer a "set" price for Battleforces--but they're moving towards giving you a more complete force in a box for each Battleforce.

You'll note that "more complete" does not mean "really good", however...or they'd give you a Valkyrie and a tank squadron, along with just two Guard squads to use as Valk vets
