You mean, like the Lictor had in 2nd edition that was used in Dawn of War II. Next, you'll say that GW ripped off Blizzard.
Since when did I accuse GW of ripping of THQ? It is their ( GW's IP) so how can they be ripping off their own IP?
I forgot about the ability in 2nd edition. Guess I misplaced the codex in the 14 years that I've had it.
Wow, calm down and chill. I was just making a statement as to what GW COULD do based on what we've seen.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

"Toxathrope" is just embarassing. It sounds like a monster from some 90s cartoon like Teenage Turtles or Captain Planet.

The sad thing is there's now a pokemon called toxi croak. Oh dear. GW has now resorted to stealing pokemon names...

I don't know if its where they got the name, but "Toxa" is necortizing poison produced by fungas that kills the protein structure in types of vegitation.

I doubt GW would have really put that much effort into the names of the new nids. As far as they care they could have just called it killathrope.

Apparently this will be the first release batch of Nids that I'm not thrilled about. Agreed with previous statements - how patently average.

Here's hoping the other new bugs are a vast improvement, that first sneak peak bug is a bit underwhelming.

You know, once the spines/miasma chimneys along its back are cut down, that could be a decent mini.
Also, we should put together a bounty for someone to create a Pokemon 'Nid army. I've got $10 on it. If 20 of us got in on it, we could have a Dakkafied response to the new 'Nids ready by release time...

Where do we start?
Anyway, I think with the Trygon we will get a plastic kit, but like the Stompa and Stormlord, Apocalypse only. Unless its stats are nerfed.
