I'll believe it when I see it. I'm also interested to see what the Hive Tyrant looks like. It'll be GW's fourth Hive Tyrant kit (not including FW kits)... I wonder if Jes did it?

Why 5 wolveS and not 10? I hope it's 5 wolves in the same sort of box as the Gretchin. A Death Company/Grey Knight style box (with the price) would be horrendous.

I bet you $50 they are finecast and will be super expensive (like $35-$50 canadian)

The prices are on the previous page: they're 5 plastic wolves for 19,50 euro, which is the same price as the current Grot artillery pieces, if you want to compare currencies.

Arjac.. oh hell, if his model is any good I'll be picking up Wolves in March.

You got these prices on hand?

Boske listed the prices earlier:

'Nids:

Hive Tyrant / Swarmlord kit 42 euro

First price they quoted is a price drop. It has to be fake.

No really, super happy if these are true. My Dicebucket order is going to change though. Maybe Tyrant, Tervigon, Trygon or Tyrant, 2 Tervigons (so I can make a Tyrannofex).

If it's finecast to plastic, it MAY be a price drop.

I was trying to be sarcastic (GW never drops prices! and stuff). I realize what would affect the price drop.

It's hard to read that kind of Sarcasm over the internet.


I'll probably order 2 Tyrannofexes and 3 Tervigons. I already have 3 Hive Tyrants, the Kit would really have to "WOW" me, to order any of those.

If the HT resembled the FW ones, then I would certainly purchase one. I personally hate the current rendition.

Really? I'm on the complete opposite spectrum. I think the ones we have right now look pretty great!

Can someone help a Canadian brother out please? What are equivalent price points for these kits? Taking a quick look at GW's site for existing figs, I don't see any at the Tervigon and Tyrant prices.

Edit: OK, after a closer look at the website, the Tervigon is the same price as the Trygon kit. Which I was expecting. But haven't found a match og the Tyrant yet.

Just got a newsletter from a very very trustworthy source that there going to be a plastic Hivetyrant/swarmlord and Tyrranofex/tervigon. =)

Yeah, alot of players like the current rendition. For me it is way too tall and bulky, too similar in design to a carnifex, and has a phalic on its head.

I like the FW models. They are smaller, sleeker, more compact and more graceful; exactly what I picture a highly intelligent, alpha preditor should look like.

Tyrant seems to be a new price point (somewhere between the Carnifex and Trygon). Tervigon is the Trygon price point.

Not much difference between the prices of the swarm lord and tervi box... either one is to small or the other to big... both do seem quite expensive.

Keep in mind you are also paying for a ruleset, if we were paying for the plastic alone and not the rules, we'd be paying $10 tops for landraiders.

Swarmlord is very powerful so thats why its expensive. The tervs and tfexes, well be buying multiples of so thats why they arent jacked in price

Thanks Loki. I was (stupidly) looking in the SM section for equivalents even though I had been suspecting the Tervigon kit would run the same price as the Trygon.

Today is a sad day for my wallet (Tyrant kit, Tervigon kit x2-3, TWC kit) but a happy day for my plastic soldier loving soul.

I'm fortunate that right now, I don't need a Hive Tyrant. I'm fine with my winged Forgeworld Tyrant, and when I get normal Tyrant, it'll be a Forgeworld one again. I'll be using the GW plastic for my Swarmlord, which I just don't need right now.

A pair of Tervigon kits and a Carnifex will do for now. Dicebucket is getting my money though.

What prices are you looking at? They're the same price as the Trygon, which is only one band away from Land Raider cost. They're pretty expensive.

Is that hellcannon going to be a new plastic kit, or the metal one in fine cast? If it is plastic I'll have to find some way to use one with my CSM.

Old model in Finecast.

That's a shame. A plastic one would've been great (and easy to turn into an Iron Warrior siege gun/'counts as' Thunderfire).

Old model in Finecast.

Seeing as the hell cannon has around thirty pieces, that means about 100% of the fine cast kits are gonna have something miscast. Oh, well... thunder wolves! Yay!

wyomingfox wrote:If the HT resembled the FW ones, then I would certainly purchase one. I personally hate the current rendition.

Really? The FW one is kinda small and reeks of third edition. I would assume the new kit will look an awful lot like the existing Finecast/metal one.

I love my clown tyrant...

I'd say both are 2 tank sprues like the trygon. Hive Tyrant may have wings, while Tervigon is bulkier. Tyrant on a 60mm base, Tervigon on large oval. Tervigon price is same as the Trygon, while the Tyrant drops a tad in price from the current model.

Tyrant kit will likely include the Monstrous Creature Weapon sprue that comes with Carnifex kits and old Tyrant kits.

I might have to buy a Tyrant/Swarmlord kit, and I don't even play Tyranids. If it's well done, it will be awesome.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they fit it on one main sprue. They're getting pretty good at using white space on the sprue. The main body, legs, tail and head could easily only take up half the sprue, with the wings, bone sabres, lashwhip, alternate head and alternate tail taking up the other half. Just throw in the monstrous creature weapon sprue and it's a good'un.

Round of mead for both armies, we have had to wait for so long for stuff we needed. Gonna get a ton of fenrisian wolves. Hope the TWC look better than the Canis sculpt.

If they put some nice nid wings on the Tyrant kit then it opens an all new range of conversions and creatures you can create with it... actually the FW one already did that but the resin wings are always to fragile for something more than just display... Price wise is still not in the 57£ FW price league but getting closer... I just hope they DO include wings...
