I believe Tyranids can drop synapse nodes of sorts in Epic Armageddon. But the Old One/C'tan thing makes the entire batch sound very sketchy, because that's straight out of "bad background ideas from the fans."

It is really, really hard to think anything less interesting than Oldcrons. Not that Newcron fluff is great, mind you, but original Necron codex was one of the worst, most bland & boring GW has ever made.

I doubt these rumors because, at this point, no one is getting new models of old plastic units. I can't remember the last time they re-issued a troop model thats been out in plastic, no matter how badly the unit needs it.

Like Chaos would have REALLY benefited from a bunch of new plastic troop kits (CSM, zerkers, etc) but they didn't get them. GW seems to want to forge ahead on big pricey kits that are new and will force even old established players to buy them.

Necrons are vastly superior to Tyranids, especially the C'Tan. The entire Tyranid race is afraid of the Mad C'tan and even avoids coming close to it. That guy is as badass as you can possibly be. The Nightbringer is immortal and death personified and the Deceiver outsmarts everything else in the entire galaxy. The actual Necron fluff is as grimdark (that term...) as 40k can possibly get - it literally spells doom for the entire universe and leaves not a single trace of hope for any living being. It's a pity we are likely to never get any info on what happens after the C'tan consumed the entire universe...it'd be interesting what they'd do vs. the hordes of Chaos as they don't have access to the energies of the warp. It's a real shame, that'd have been damn interesting, but my guess is an eternal battle between Necrons / C'tan and chaos demons - while the former control the entire corporeal universe, the latter ones keep lashing at them from the warp.

...what was the topic again

Anyway, just saying that Tyranids might get sheety "fluff" too with their new codex. GW has a damn bad track of writing fluff in regard to the last few codices. And seriously, talking Tyranids / Tyranid overlords. I called it. Wait for it. GW's going to pull a Zerk on this one!

The future Tyranid Codex will have some new plastic units (including a BIG new monster!!!), metal converted to finecast and a few new finecast 'character' models.
It will be hardback and include a new Warlord Table.
Some of the special character nids will have specific warlord traits.
Nids will be able to roll on BRB psychic tables and specific NID tables.
Points costs will change.
Some Special Characters/HQs will change FOC for other units.

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

Well, if you, on the first of every month, say to yourself "I hope Tyranids will be out next month!", then you will eventually be correct.

That Naftka guy was wrong about the new flyer models in February and he was wrong about the Tyranids in April. Time to stop listening, methinks.

The codex is poorly written and there is a very narrow scope of units that are actually good in the codex, so most lists can be countered, unless someone brings a super different list of sub-par units. I agree with you though, there are other armies that deserve the love, like Templars, Tau and Eldar.

They've gotten a new book every edition, because they were one of the best selling non-SM lines. Right up to 5th edition, and we all know why they stopped selling well there.

So, you've got a book every edtion because they well. Now they're not selling - the smart thing to do is update them so they start selling again. There's obviously interest in the army, it was just well countered by a bad codex.

Is anything currently slated for April? Because I thought Tau were in May, which would leave space for a small Tyranid update. Add models for spores, harpy, and two finecast characters-Doom and Mortrex or something. But that would be two months in a row of 40k, so it's not likely.

As for that Old Ones/C'tan rumor, ugh.

Any time a rumour this early comes with teasers about background changes I automatically discount it, because they never seem to pan out.

DSing emplacements is a cool idea, though. And it would give us a unique approach to anti-air if we have to wait for it to drop out of reserves before we can do anything with it.

I keep forgetting that Black Templars and Sisters of Sandwiches still are actual armies with their own army book. I further agree with Tyranids being less in need of an update / new army book...I consider them being overrated a lot by most people, they are able to stand their ground quite well. Sure, not Top Tier, but solid Mid Tier I'd say.
