I meant he is available again. Even the EU sites listed him as 'no longer available' before today.

Well .. no, he wasn't on the British site either ....and he's back on the British site.

I don't remember the hive tyrant being a finecast, but it is still not up on the US site.

It has been finecast for almost a year now.

Real quick summary anyone? Missed the last 11 pages of this thread.

For the Death Leaper I'm seeing the message "Usually ships within 24 hours" And the Hive Tyrant is most certainly still M.I.A. here in the States.

Quick summary:

"Any info on the Nid second range?"

"nope!"

I did read on the Warseer thread though that the second wave is out March 3rd and will have a plastic hive tyrant and tervigon/tyrannofex dual kits as well as 4 or 5 space wolf kits (thunder wolves, fenrisian wolves, lord on a thunderwolf and arjac)

Suppose it'll have to do, thanks.

THIS is all i keep checking this thread for

Yeah, the only thing I see under HQ is the Tyrant Guard.
edit: and... I missed the page-roll. Ah well.

So Tyranid second wave is mostly Space Wolves? [sarcasm]Awesome...[/sarcasm]

Hah, yeah. It seems that the rumored five kits for Tyranids ended up being five kits for Space Wolves. Even so, the tervigon is a relief.

More Space Marine kits.

Hands up who was surprised?

Yes, how dare they release a kit that's intrinsic to many builds of an army two and a half years after its release.

Not to pour fire on the SW angst, but they have also been waiting a very long time for one of the most desirable units in the codex.

The Tervigon is the single most important, unreleased unit in the Tyranid list. That model alone will go a long way to appeasing nid players. It is a shame that they aren't releasing the parosite though.

At least we can all be thankfull that it's not another Dark Eldar release.

Not to rain on the Parade here, but you do realise that in theory 90% of SM kits can be utilised by just about every SM variant out there? I appreciate the wolves, fair enough but I look at it this way... Wolf Lord on Wolf? Not needed. A Wolf kit will suffice and people have been converting Canis long enough. Arjac? Not needed. Converting a SM SC isn't hard. Fenrisian Wolves? Nice, but again, not needed. I know Gobbo Wolf Rider Wolves aren't ideal but people have done with them or Chaos hounds for years now.

Still lacking Harpies. Still lacking a Swarmlord. Still lacking Bonesword/Lashwhip kits for Warriors.

This is the first bone GW have thrown Tyranids. Technically Wolves could have used any of the SM kits released and Wolfed them up a bit.

Meh.

And with regards to Dark Eldar releases....

To be fair, their entire range was overhauled, top to bottom. I don't hold that against them to be honest as nothing else got overhauled that intensely in the most recent 2 editions!

Not to rain on your parade here, but you essentially just said "LOL convert" and are saying that we shouldn't have to convert. Hypocritical much?

Name any item of SW or SM wargear apart from the conversion beamer (though technically FW have that covered now).

If you can't find it in the current SM range in plastic then I'd consider that a god given miracle. (Disclaimer: Servo Harness is probably the only snarky answer here.)

And if you have SW kits you will have plenty of spare SW bits left over for the sake of flavour. Otherwise I'm wondering what the hell you did with that many fething heads.

Now find me a Warrior sized Bonesword or Lashwhip without having to resort to OOP metal trawling on ebay. Hell, you can't get a sodding bonesword for a Tyrant on one side of the body.

Sure, you can convert. But some options would be nice even as a fething direct only resin bits pack.

Hey guys! Just got an e-mail from my local online shop here in Sweden with
release info on the 3:d of March

Hive Tyrant / Swarmlord, Plastic Kit
And
Tervigon / Tyrannofef, Plastic Kit

They quoted prices so it seems legit :-)

As well a few Space Wolf kits including
Space Wolves Thunderwolf Cavalry, 3fig. Plastic Kit
Space Wolves Fenrisan Wolfpack 5fig. Plastic Kit
Wolf Lord on Thunderwolf 1fig. Finecast
Arjac Rockfist, The Anvil of Fenris 1fig. Finecast

Just though I'd pass it along :-)

Wolves.

So... it's a god given miracle there's no Thunder/Cyber/Whatever wolves outside the one special character? Remember, there's also wolves as wargear, so using the single wolf model out there for them won't work.

Sure, you can convert. But some options would be nice even as a fething direct only resin bits pack.

Agreed. Won't ever happen, but agreed.

Not enough for tyranids, IMO, but less is nothing. And about SW, is good to see that this important hole in the miniatures range is going to be filled.

So tfex looks to be legit! Not gedtting too excited until I actualy it for sell, but I am indeed happy. No harpy makes me sad though... v.v

No new unit is going to make me sadder

My day is improved.

Two kits is better than one.

And with regards to 'wolves'.

These not good enough for you? You been using them the past however many years!

Thunderwolves are the main one.

You said "convert canis" but that is a 50 dollar HQ model you'd have to buy...per guy. That, or there are the third-party ones that are nice. That being said, lash whip/bone sword have third party versions as well, and have for a while. Same with tervigon conversion kits.

And under the same logic:

Tervigons? Convert one from a Carnifex, people have been doing it forever.
Swarmlord? Convert one from a hive tyrant.

I know there's this deep seeded marine hate people seem to have...but look at it from the other side as well. I've seen plenty of an "easy" conversion for tervigons and swarmlords, just as much as I've seen conversions of thunderwolves. But both need/deserve some appropriate model you can just buy, assemble, and play with.

This is not the thread to whine about Space Marine releases.
Let's celebrate the announcement of two new kits (including the Swarmlord BTW) and keep on buying the rest from non-GW sources (including 4-5 for boneswords).

Aye, if the list rings true, we at least get models for 3 units and a special character. And other models have been rumoured, so perhaps they'll follow soon after in a few months.
