Swoop wrote:Just the tervigon eh? I would say that I was disapointed but the truth is I lost all hope of a decent tyranid second wave quite some time ago. I will eventually pick up a few of them but such a half hearted release does not excite me to the point where dollar bills start flying out of my wallett and into their coffers.

They play with it. You are disappointed but "will eventually pick up a few of them" anyway. I think plastic dust is addictive...

My two Tervigons were converted years ago. I don't really fancy a 5-tervie list.

Oh well, even if it's "just a Tervigon" I'll be very happy. Now hopefully I win that tournament because that's the only way I'll be able to afford one any time soon.

Oh and the release of Thunderwolves is just a bonus for me too, since Space Wolves are my main army. If they look good I'll get 1 or 2, but if not then I'll stick with my Paulson Games ones.

I've been a 40k fan since 1988 so I guess you could say I'm in this hobby for the long haul. If I could I would probably collect 75% of the armies out there based on interest in the fluff alone. Tyranids have been my favorite since the genestealer cult days so i will eventually purchase a few of any new tyranid models. But "eventually" for me means sometime in the next few years, maybe after I have finished with other non-GW projects (and there are many). If they had excited me I'd probably be dropping a grand or so to flesh things out rather than eventually picking up two models.

Just saying.

Swoop!

Definitely not as exciting as the four (Tervigon/Tyrannofex, Parasite of Mortrex, Harpy, Hive Tyrant/Swarmlord) we were rumored to be betting previously, and it contradicts what Harry and Hastings have said.

So we get to hope the next wave includes a codex?

At this rate, may as well. Been over two years since we've had anything for them.

And yet, ironically you can pretty much go buy a complete Dark Eldar or Blood Angel army.

Classy.

Yar.

kirsanth wrote:So we get to hope the next wave includes a codex?

No, Second wave refers to unreleased models included in the latest codex. The Dark Eldar second wave came out recently for instance, but there was no new codex.

Anyway if the box is just a Tervigon, I don't see why a Tyrannofex component could be in there too. GW loves multi-part plastic kits that can be used for 1 of 2 models lately.

In any regard I suppose attaching Daemon Prince Wings and Barbed Stranglers to Tervigons is the best one can do for a harpy =(

Give me anything!
It's been such a long time, the codex has been so unsupported and we have been pissed on so badly by the FAQ's and lack of information or false rumors that I will be ecstatic to get a Failcost Ymgarl let alone a Tervigon.

A Tervigon? Tyranid love? Dat's da sh*t right der bro!

Ok.

So you agree with me?

It was a joke. Implying that we aren't going to get a second wave, or any other new models, until a new codex drops.

I would laugh/cry if they drop the Tervigon out of the next codex.

That's going to be really disappointing if that's all we are getting.

A Tervigon is honestly water in the desert for Tyranids if you ask me. It's not everything they need, but it's at least the thing they need most.

Well at least we are getting the long awaited Tervigon and Thunder Wolves...I wish they would release the rest of the Tyranid line, but its obvious these releases are just to stop Chapterhouse from getting money.

Pretty much this. Tyranid players deserve more, but at least they're getting the unit that's needed. Afterall, they could release the Harpy instead.

Thought I'm betting the Harpy is being held back for that IG wave that's meant to include the Hydra. Good time to kick Tyranid players in the teeth. Release their sub-standard flyer and the IG vehicle perfectly suited to killing it in the same month.

The Tervigon better look good for me to buy anymore. I already have 3 of the chapterhouse converted ones. I was hoping for a Harpy or Tyranofex model. v.v

Something to remember is, as someone already said, this is very likely to be a dual kit. Maybe even this mythical new monster with WD rules. GW doesn't do big monster kits that aren't dual kits anymore if there's something else in the book that can go on the sprue. I wouldn't be shocked if it was a Tyrannofex either.

A dual kit would be indeed better.

tervigon/tyranofex

shrike/mortrex

venomthrope/zoanthrope (should be like that!)

I'd prefer to see reasonably priced plastic Hive Guard in 3-packs, rather than a Tervie, personally.

Shrikes are totally different than the Parasite of Motrex. What would be the point of a Fast attack slot, combined with a single HQ choice in a Dual Kit?

You can do shrikes now, all you need is Warriors+Forgeworld wings. Done.

With Rending Claws, Boneswords and Lashwhip bits to make plastic Tyrant Guard too please. :p

And I'd prefer real multipose gants or stealers, but Tervigon has been long expected and it's coming at last.

*shrugs* as much as i wish this were true, i cannot accept that Nids will get anything from GW

Two niche units that are widely regarded as somewhere between "highly situational" and "awful" are not as important as a Tervigon. Also, it's pretty much a given that the GW Tervigon will look better than the Chapterhouse one. The pervading rumor has been that it's a dualkit with the Tyrannofex anyway, and given GW's propensity for such things in the past few years, I wouldn't be surprised by it.

I'm just ready to see some leaked WD pictures by now.

Hovering over the thread link and briefly seeing the words 'leaked WD pictures' sent my excitement through the roof...

All I can say is disappointment.

Aye, I would be surprised if it's not a dual kit. The Tyrannofex seems to make the most sense, but various rumour mongers (such as Stickmonkey) have claimed it could be something else, like the rumoured transport unit. Some even claim it would be a dual kit with the Hive Tyrant or Harpy, but I seriously doubt that as they don't share the same general body type required for a dual type.

How much more multipose can they make gaunts and genestealers? The only extra posability humanoid units have is torsoe/legs, which allows you to twist them at the waist. This isn't something that would really add anything to gaunts or Genestealers.
