What are people looking forward to playing or facing off against in the line of reliable rumors (relative I know)

Honestly, I have some tyranid "geeking out" that needs to be accomplished, lest I implode.

Thanks Dakka.

Haruspex, Crone and Exorcine will be getting ordered Saturday

I am personally liking the hormagaunts go back to beasts and Shadow causes -3LD rumors the most.

If that LD thing is true then Mr. Calgar will be coming to a lot more games!

Since i always run Hormagaunts and Carnifexes im happy seeing themm better and cheaper.

Still hoping for warriors to be good.

To be fair, if Tyranids are within 12", synpase creatures especially, the bug player is going to win more often than not.

I'm looking forward to the dataslate for Tyrannic War Veterans. Not quite the supplement I was waiting for, but I'll take it.

I just want Genestealers and Lictors to be playable. I hope they get fixed.

Hormagaunts are 100% not beasts. Sorry.

Sad, but no worries because I can get 20% more on a field.

A Tyranid release? Oh dear... I will have to expand my DE army. There are quite a lot of Tyranid players in my area and I expect that most them will be bring their little buggers out. Luckily for me, DE are pretty good against nids.
Really looking forward to the new models.

Technically all nids should be beasts, no?

Anyway, I am ecstatic about the nids, they were my second army and one of my favorites.

However, until I actually read the rules, I am not pre-ordering ANYTHING. I can get overzealous sometimes and get stuff that I end up not using (or even building) - so in the last few books I have waited until I have a chance to read and figure out what I want to run.

On an unrelated note, anyone want to buy some dark angels or tau flyers?

I'm sure the negative leadership bubble is only for psychic powers.

it would be good if it wasn't more reason to play themed macragge armies.

GOOD MAN. This is the spirit, models cost too much for impulse buying.

Seriously, some of the kids at my FLGS were talking about the Tyranid stuff they were going to buy. Hopefully they are about to learn a lesson in being patient.

Are there any more accurate rumors of the date of the release than "January" ?

Preorder starts on the 4th and release will be 11th

I was planning on pre ordering the codex, Exocrine, Tyrant Guard and Crone. But then I remembered it's GW and the best thing to do is get the codex first see if any of it is not worth buying.

So, I'll grab the codex, see where my current army falls, and see what I want to add to it. Meanwhile my Infinity collections will get bigger from those saved hobby funds.

Warrior buffs will be nice, they have such good versatility it would be great to see them on the field.

Definitely loving death leader and old one eye as hqs

Right there with you.

I hope you guys get a good solid codex, with lots of playable options. Strong, but without cheese. Win or loose, I always like a good game versus Nids.

Hopefully not. That would mean the cool stuff in the codex blows.
