I'm not sure what everyone's complaining about, it looks okay to me. Looks like every other Tyranid, not sure what everyone was expecting.

New model just makes me want to point a bolter at it
In other news... I may (or may not) have found another new mini. WD 357 (Space Hulk rerelease) pg61. Top right corner.
2 bugs standing in front of the tyrant. Im not an expert on every nid ever made but I dont recognise these things.

Those are either previous edition fexes or some strange conversion. The paint scheme is pretty bad so it is hard to tell.

Too small for fexes. Looks like a lictor's body. Lots of carapace atop.

Thats a possibility. Strange place to deploy them though. Plastic tyrant guard? (I liked the old ones)

Ugh, people really have a hard time spotting conversions don't they? Same thing happened with the so-called "new daemon prince!", that turned out to be the old metal one with a ridiculously large sword that some guy converted.
They look like the old hive tyrants with rending claws, nothing new.

Looking at that pic for the first time, my strongest reaction is one of parts. I think that it may have some potantial when mashed up with bits from other bug kits.
One thing that I DO appreciate about it is that it appears to slide right into the styling cues of the current range. It will fit right in, it looks like, as opposed to some previous jumps from edition to edition where the styles of models changed so much.
I think this has potential, and we will really have to see the rest of the kit before we know.

Lies, you liked it, you just won't admit it.
Ooooh, someone is being a bit snippy.
Well, imagine you had seen the same picture several times, with the same "OMGZ NEW MODAL?!" reaction, when what you're looking at is very clearly an old model with some new parts and maybe a little green stuff work. Having to explain it over and over gets irritating. Especially in the case of the daemon prince model I mentioned, it has the same exact body and it's in the same pose even, but you give him Cloud Strife's sword and all of a sudden you've got everyone fooled, lmao.
Kinda like the "new DE greens!"...it's just annoying.

THat model sux. It looks like it would be more suited as an ocean nidd. I don't see how it would move around. Its just looks slowed. Clearly its primary strategy would be to have its enemies die laughing.

It's supposed to be psychic I guess, so...same way a zoanthrope moves around.
Except it lacks the cute, stubby tail of the zoanthrope! *wibble*

I'm more than willing to bit there are people who wonder how the malanthrope gets around.
Watching non-Tyranid players offer opinions on Tyranid things is like a social experiment.

Its a cross between a Hive Tyrant, a Lictor, and a Zoanthrope. Seems pretty boring, although it will probably be better once we see more pics.
