GW does. As for us regular shmoes we can use patterns to see that the most likely period for a teaser video to be released will be sometime between tuesday and friday of next week.

Not in the last 2 codexes. In 4th Ed they had "Leaping" which made them functionally identical.

Products and articles on the GW website right now for Tyranids are either old pre-5th edition codex or current. Nothing new has been added nor will be added to the website until the 30th.

A Thornbacked creature counts as double the number of models for the purposes of outnumbering if it is on the winning side in a close combat.

Well page 32-33 of the 5th ed codex is a giant picture and stuff about Synapse, SITW and Instinctive Behaviour.

Considering that is a new Genestealer head and "Spine Banks" are only on the newer models it could be a new page.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuutttt.. I dont think GW would be stupid enough to stick something like that live, either that or the guy in charge of the website has big balls.

Those links to the "Know your Foe: biomorphs" pages are out-dated on GW's site. They likely won't update the Tyranids info for a few weeks.

Must be from 4th. I got excited when the page numbers did not line up with the current codex.

It's old. It references old rules and biomorphs. Good try though.

You guys are ridiculous. They are way old. I remember looking at these and being very confused when I started Warhammer a bit more than a year ago. Was way confused cause none of that lined up with what was in the actual Codex.

That is not a new genestealer head, it's the same head that's been in the same box since I started playing Tyranids, 6 years ago. Spine banks are only found in the carnifex kit, which like I just said with genestealers, have not had their box updated in a very long time. You're grasping for straws here.

Yep. Those are all biomorphs from the 4th edition codex. People need to chill out.

Also unfortunately Scutters are from 4th Ed I think circa 2006 so that page is old.

Where are you guys even finding all this 4th edition crap? The boxes don't even list biomorphs I thought.

I see the link now- I thought they deleted all the old fluff articles like that.

Apparently GW releases a teaser video before pre-orders go up on the website. People have been saying they release the teaser video on the third saturday of the month. Pure speculation. London time is about 10pm right now, so once it hits midnight, it's saturday over in the UK. Thus, they might release the teaser video. Make sense?

For someone who never played in 4th edition, so didn't see the kits, that was all very exciting for a few minutes, only to have the excitement quashed shortly after.

When they've released the teasers in the past are they usually done at midnight or during normal office hours?

They usually post the teaser video the Monday of the week they post pre-orders. That being said, the white dwarf daily blog hasn't been updated yet today, that usually only happens if they're making a big announcement. We'll have to wait and see what that is.
