Wow Deathleaper is listed as HQ too.

Well kits look interesting as a note tail weapons are back as huraspex has the option for the thresher scythe tail

I'm wondering if that has something to do with the Vanguard Swarm supplement

Have a glance at the psychic cards, it seems the primaris adds 6" to something, presumably running distance.

Synapse range, try zooming in it says it on the card lol

Yaaaaay, I said to my wife.

It says synapse range.

Think it is add 6" to Synapse Range.

I have to say that the Haruspex looks a lot better in that 360, love that both it and the Exocrine are Elites. So we now have Monstrous Creatures in all slots!

Nidzilla is alive and well.

Makes sense, doesn't show on the translated cards, but it's plain to see in english. Fits better with the old version of the power ...
Darn you hope!

So this is REALLY making me want to come out of my 40k hibernation. . . Want to see if the rule book is worth it yet though before I make that judgement. . .

Also the price of this is important. . .

Amazing how much smaller the exocrine is compared to the tervigon/tyranofex. Considering ir costs more I thought it would be huge. Huge I say :p

Red Terror sitting at £25.00... really GW?

I'm digging all of the lash whips and bone swords on the warrior sprues. I'm also very interested to see what the Deathleaper can do.

The red terror is listed as included in the "predation" pack so if I was guessing I'd say it'll have it's own stats, but who knows.

Also, holy hell the new big monster prices seem a bit rapey. $80 harpy that you could pretty much make out of a carnifex and some wings, $73 exocrine . . . is it really using $16 more plastic than the tervigon?

Would you rather $105 for the Harpy and then $95 for the Haruspex/Exocrine?




Anyways, I'm excited to see some of these models for myself when they get here next Saturday. The Exocrine I like and probably can swap the head with something else.

Anyone else notice the limited edition artwork? Lol.

Boneswords are sadly now Ap 3 Str User with to wounds on 6s causing instant death.

On the subject of tail biomorphs, the Carnifex Brood kit description mentions both the "thresher scythe" and the "bone mace."

I'm late to the party but... The harpy looks like a stumpy half model that reminds me of the hellturkey and the haruspex looks just terrible.

The exocrine doesn't seem entirely objectionable though.

The Trygon is still the best model in the range.

Black Library preview images of the new codex. Hormagaunt page is on there too.

Tyranids now get a bonus attack for each two 'pair's of Melee biomorph they wield. Found on the blacklibrary preview page.

Good eyes! Can't say I didn't expect Boneswords to go AP3 with power weapons landing there as well.

So a Genestealer with a pair of Scything talons and Rending Claws gets a bonus attack. Makes sense now why the Scything talons cost more.

On the one hand: so glad the new MCs aren't heavy support. Means good old fexes wont have competition. On the other hand, elites just became one very contested slot!

Well dual bones word and rending claws with toxin could be a fantastic loadout

Tervigon seems to be gone from the troops page.....

Yeah, they would get Rending, +1 attack for having two melee biomorphs, and Life Drain. Alongside poison. That's a nasty melee unit.

So 2 sets of Scything Talons is 1 extra attack. Trygon, and Carnifex got a boost, along side any other boost from what Scything Talons do.
