I think that he may have photoshopped the book on to wrapping paper, if not... Damn!

It looked like it was softcover anyway, which we all know isn't happening.

Well, after Christmas it appears I will have enough for everything I wanted to grab at release. Bring on Niduary.

Since when are Warriors on the GW site as HQ?

Since the book since before the one that's about to be replaced, when you could take a single unit of warriors as your HQ.

Must just be me not being very observant, happens a lot

What about the red terror?

Pretty damn sure that is newly added...

Its a failcast of the old metal one, they released it a few months back can't remember exactly when.

Well, I've got $370 not a bad haul, although that is also ten weeks of savings.
I'm gonna get the codex, which will probs be 93 so I'l have $270. Any suggestions of what else I'm thinking a trygon, which is another hundred.

That's the kind of stunt that earns you a ban from a jilted mod.

Since the new kit will include bits for a Prime.

If they were moving stuff about in the shop ready for the new codex, surely the gargoyles would have moved to troops.......

Unless, of course, Gargoyles stay in Fast Attack in the new codex. There haven't been any rumours about them moving to Troops, only some guys wishlisting it so.
Not to say it won't happen, just don't count on it.

Not unless gargoyles were going to be a troops choice, which I'm pretty sure was debunked quite a while ago, wasn't it?

lol, well apparently we both posted at literally the same exact time. Haven't seen that before.

I was just stirring to be fair, I imagine they will stay fast attack

does it look like prices are gonna go up?

Prices don't generally go up anymore, the just bring in new kits at higher price ranges, and rebox stuff like the carnifex into duel boxes which cost more, but work out cheaper per fex. Which I'm perfectly happy with.

Though I don't believe gargoyles will be moving to troops, I think they are a prime candidate for a FOC shuffle. Wasn't there something solid about something granting shifts in the FOC?

Just did some calculations. If the first post cost are American, the 2x carnifex will be 110 aus, 50 bucks cheaper than normal.

The Gargoyle story came from BOLS - and let's face it, all those earlier rumours were entirely speculation. THey predicted there would be a dual hive/tyrnat guard trip, but I bet they won't be reminding us of the plastic zoanthrope and DoM kit that was "planned." The Rumour suggested that using a flyrant opton would enable gargyoles as troops, in the same way as a biker warboss makes biker nobs troops

Re pricing, the Crone might well be pricey, but otherwise there's no significant price rise - factor in the boneswords, etc, and warriors have seen a price cut compared with how much it used to cost to kit them out. I'm more bothered about how they perform than a couple quid on the pricetag, though...

Give tyranid prime the eternal warrior aura , join with warriors and put a ripper swarm "bubble" around your unit and you have a pretty beefy scoring HQ unit for fairly cheap.

Plenty of other codexes include Special Character rules which allow unit reclassification (e.g. take character X and a particular unit then can be taken as Troops instead of (or as well as) Elites), so it's not impossible GW will do something similar for nids, e.g. a winged Hive Tyrant might allow Gargoyles to be taken as Troops. I hope so, as something along those lines would allow a number of very different army builds...but I'm not holding my breath.

With the amount of new flying kits it would be a shame not to allow an all winged Nid force.

Looking forward to the GW pics, which go up this Saturday don't they?

I don't Know if these are new or not but I found this on talk wargaming!

Could be, but I think that it will be sometime next week. Most of the past teasers have been on a weekday prior to the Saturday of the preorder. My money is on Wednesday or Thursday. But I hope I am wrong and it is this weekend. The suspense is killing me

Can't wait to see the new models painted up in Nard's pink scheme!

Holy gak. If they squeeze 2 Carnifexes into the $110 bracket, I'll definitely grab that box. It'll probably push out the Harpy box I was gonna get, since I was looking at grabbing 1 of each new set.
