Yes. They do.

I can sort of see a 50mm base warrior but 60? How big are primes then? They only reason I could see why is so everyone can't just rebase their old ones.

Its right it isnt a dual kit. Also it looks like they are on 60mm bases. They got the broadside treatment....Its hard to judge as ive just seen the front of the box, but they do look bulkier and more squat than they did.

Warriors going up to 60mm bases? What happens to the Carnifex if this is true?

The original quote on Warseer is actually someone talking about the leaked Hive Guard image, which are also more likely to be on 50mm bases. Nothing substantial has been said about Warriors yet.

Yeah if warriors get a new model that is bigger, I would say it is going to be on a 50mm base. Going from a 40mm to a 60mm just doesn't seem right. The person who posted the rumor said they were getting a broadside treatment, that one mean they would be as big as a carnifex. Just doesn't sound plausible at all. I bet this is a case of mistaken 50mm bases for 60mm.

Another case where it'd be useful if they specified base sizes for models in the army of books...

No, it would be better if they just kept the base sizes the same. A 2 wound T4 model on a 60mm base. Give me a break.

They won't be on a 60mm base. I promise you that.

Maybe on 50mm, but still unlikely.

Remember the first model on a 60mm base...was an IG heavy weapons team (2 T3 models, now one 2W T3 model).

Shh. Your logic is not wanted here!

If Warriors were re done I'd like them to look like the guy in the back; taller, a bit wider with longer limbs. I really wish they'd give 'nids clawed feet instead of hooves, like the FW Hive Tyrants. If they looked like that I could see them going on to 60mm base, would suck if you had a lot of warriors though.

So if Nids are indeed December, does schedule patterns mean the 7th would be the day of release?

If so, Ill be getting the codex that midnight from my GW store, writing my list that morning, and competing in a 1000 points tourny that day. It will be everyones first encounter with the new codex nids (hopefully giving me a boost )

Nids are a little bit of a different thing. They've been gradually tuning the wounds value :: baseline ratio, and it's finally at a place where it makes sense (and you can even make predictions about base size based on wounds -- see the Tervigon release, and all the disappointed people who made Carnifex conversions). There are still some mysteries and outliers (like the Mycetic Spore) and the introduction of 50mm bases will complicate things, but I would be happy if they kept the trend going instead of completely disassociating base size from wounds.

You might want to double check that with the TO about that. He might say you have to use the 5th edition book so you can't cheese everyone out like that.

I don't believe this for a second. Of all the Kits, Warriors really did not need any sort of major update. I could see an extra sprue for wings and weapons, but nothing like a complete broadside overhaul.

We shouldn't talk about a new Warrior kit, just because natfka can't get a quote right. Esp. when the content is probably false even for the Hive Guard it is talking about.

They do need a new kit if you want all the biomorphs, build options, and weapons. They don't need a major aesthetic overhaul (just as the Hive Guard didn't). Space Marines got a new kit despite not a lot changing; Ork Boyz as well when they went from 3rd to 4th. The Warrior sprues are just bad (in terms of mold lines), lacking a ton of parts, build options, etc.

What GW likely won't do is move them from 40mm to 60mm. For the Broadside (a Heavy Support gun platform), it was necessary.

TO's rarely allow a brand new codex to be played that first month after release. It's why Adepticon in 2013 didn't have any Tau players.

Any guess on what the next Tyranid leak will be? Model Pic? Codex art? Rules? Release Date?

Worryingly, it looks like White Dwarf pics have leaked... but no 'Nid news.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/563166.page

Nope, we had this discussion earlier in the thread and it came about that they are in the Gift Guide apparently.

I'm not worrying. In case anyone forgot, the next Hobbit is out next month, so I would assume that GW does that for December, then new Nids in Jan.

thanks for the correction bloodhorror.

Fret not, look at the little tickboxes next to the prices. Those are from the gift guide so that you can tell your loved ones what to get you. They aren't leaked Dwarf shots...

Edit: got Ninja'd to that one...

Or not. Current scuttlebutt is that the Hobbit has been delayed to to unforeseen circumstances (i.e one of the models didn't meet somebodies standards).

Maybe the Warriors are being placed on the 60mm bases cause they're the new rippers! Put three on a base and you get a swarm of warriors with 3-9 bases per unit, that way we would all have to buy new bases and a ton of warriors boxes to field them, that would definitely increase GWs sales of the warrior boxes

hell they could even have the upgrade for wings in this box and then you get flying warrior swarms

Can someone PLEASE find a SOURCE for this bullcrap scuttlebutt?And well:Unless I'm mistaken miniatures are made almost a year in advance.At this point they would be boxed and ready to ship.It would be a bit late.And gw has NEVER had a model on a base bigger then 40mm in a LOTR/Hobbit starter pack.(True they never made one bigger then 25mm before moM but still)what would they have in it other then smaug anyway?Bilbo would be the only option and all scenarios would end either:
Scorched hobbit
Mutilated hobbit
Eaten hobbit.
Its going to be mirkwood.Either(Or both)spiders/orcs
Vs Thorins company/Elves.(or Thorins company vs elves....

I doubt Hobbit in December due to the fact the film is released on 7th, and New Line Cinemas don't want anyone to see Smaug, so would prohibit an immediate release of any Desolation related models?

Actually the hobbit is on the 13th(Unlucky number) and the nids MIGHT be on the 7th.They released last years white dwarf normally and well:What's the point of hiding smaug?He's in EVERY trailer.It is his movie after all.
