Don't you mean the dead sea?

I don't believe these rumours either. It sounds incoherent, I'll be waiting at least a week more before I believe anyone has seen the codex.

Tyranids - the most trolled codex rumors of 2013.

I've just got to remind myself that it's not much longer now, just coast until release day...

Been out of the game for awhile, trying to find time to get back into it.

Yeah I'm pretty much at the point where I'm only opening this thread for the laughs and to find out when the crappy teaser trailer will be out.

I'll believe rumours when I have the codex in hand.

It is. For some reason the issue will not be released on the last Saturday of the month like usual.

We should see a teaser trailer tomorrow or next week, pre orders and white dwarf on the 4th, and nid codices in stores on the 11th.

I imagine it has something to do with Christmas and the fact that they'd have to ship the magazines at the start of the month in order to get them to the shops before this weekend.

What kind of info will be in WD? A vague overview of all models so we can decide what to pre order. Or a full bit on certain models?

Basically all the solid information we have gotten so far has come from that WD. I wouldn't expect any mayor revelations to come from it when it's officially released. We probably won't get any new stuff until the codex is leaked or released. Either way, not too long a wait anymore.

We've already gotten 95% of the tyranid info from the new WD from that Enobai guy, he got his copy, (or a peak at it) like 2 weeks ago.

Don't expect any new info until Jan 8 or 9 when people get their pre-ordered copies early.

It also makes it less useful for us to order from overseas - the discount from our strong dollar is offset by those countries having equally ridiculous pricing.


My thoughts exactly. The release-based price increases have had the least impact on us because everyone else seems to be catching us, rather than blanket X% rises for each release worldwide.

And it has BS3.

It fires 3 S10 AP 3 shots or 1 S10 AP2 large blast.

I think BS3 is fine

Now, the question is, is it barrage? Can it nuke things from behind cover? Because that would be pretty metal. Also super annoying, since I don't play nids, and my AV13 vehicles will be shot to hell by that things >.<

He updates the rumor tracker...and about 95% of the tyranid rumors contradict other rumors, therefore 95% of the are going to be false. It's going to be false rumors EVERYWHERE.

There's never been a codex more talked about, and yet with so little in the way of real/accurate information so close to release in history. It's kind of ridiculous.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

We still have nothing concrete on what the Biomorphs do, how Synapse and Shadow now function, what Warlord Traits equivalents there are (for sure), how the psychic stuff has changed, points costs for a lot of units...

I have to give GW props for keeping this pretty tight, while also tipping the cap to those who got the White Dwarf early and shared what info they could with us.

Well, you can say the same exact thing about Lootas except with BS2. But alas there is a difference between shooting things and expecting the shots to hit home.
