Clearly GW is acknowledging Tyranids need a bit of a push, and it would appear they are getting drop pods. The combos and strategies I can do with these... oh boy. Discuss.

Now this is cool. As an ork player, I'm jealous!

Doom and spores back with new names, I wonder what this suggests for other armies?

I´m thinking ´nids just bounced from the low tiers to the higher mid or even top range. Dimachaeron to the face from pod yo.

There do seem to be a lot of nasty combos that can come from this. Gaunt Alpha Strike, Tervi-factory in the enemy backfield, Swarmlord meteor, dropping Carni/Tyrant/Tyrannofex/Haruspex ect.

Holy feth! I'm speechless! This fills me with (foolish) hopes about Marbo, Vect and even the Baron!

I'm very happy to see they don't come in turn one.

If real this is an extremely powerful unit. Am I reading 100 points with venom cannons and 20 transport cap???

If only Mordrak would return T_T

Seroulsy, I suspect they are dragging their feet making a model because we'll just scratch build them.

Take SM Drop pod rulez, remove the collision protection, and swap the storm bolta for a 'eavy shoota, and your done. Make it happen GW.

From what publication is that page? A new Codex? A White Dwarf?

Probably the next WD, I would guess!

The previous page would suggest its a WD

Sweet jiblits this should be interesting if not terrifying for not nid players.


Frickin 75 point MC with T5 and 6 wounds is rediculus.
