Subject: Forgeworld 2014 News & Rumours - DKoK infantry now back in stock
No, we don't have anything Fluffy to go up against the D-99 Units.
What we do have are Stonecrushers which are some of the most bs models in a Nid army now, Dimacheron, a page of rules that seem awesome and yet.... oh so weird...
Meitoc Spores that are now Abysmal, Malenthropes which are the new Venomthropes on steroids.
And Our old Garganutan Creatures that have had no updates and are in there just so we can carry around one big ass book compared to 4 like everyone else !
Are you saying stones crushers are bad?
I'm saying they are the best Unit possible IMO!
165 points for one with a Bone Flail.
Against Tanks, HOW will kill it at s10 Armourbane and AP2.
Against MCs, the Bone Flail inflicts Instant Death and is AP1 and S10
Against Hordes, The Bone Flail allows you to make 1 attack per enemy model in B2B Against Terminators, HOW at AP2 will do 'em over
They are beautiful
It's how gets armour bane? Dang.
What's the toughness/save of it?

Does the Iron Warriors Contemptor have...a mustache?!?
I guess I'm relieved as this now hopefully means the Alpha Legion Contemptor won't have one, and the IW's version will get the 'Twirling' conversion instead!

It's the cheekbones of the stylised skull that's their insignia.
But when you shoot at him, THe firing weapon gets -1 to Strength.
Meaning Lasguns can't touch him
Missile launchers, plasma and melta care a tiny bit, gravs and bolters don't care at all.
165pts for all that... I guess it is still a mc that's stuck plodding across the board...

Forgeworld, bringing you fair and balanced rules since inception. And people wonder how forgeworld gets a bad rep, or why they get denied games with forgeworld in their army.

You could say the same thing about a long list of codex units. And IMO it's just fine that Tyranids finally get a decent melee MC instead of having to hope that scary Riptide doesn't decide to charge them.
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
If you zoom in on the Night Lords Dread it looks like one of the skull ornaments is still wearing it'ssunglasses , Nice
I am a fan of the Iron warriors dread and always wanted to build a huge iron warriors army, but that night lords dread.........Sexy , plus I loved the book series.

NL are all about the fluff.. as they, sadly, don't have anything else going for them Unless Mutated Raptors is your thing.

I don't know, being stone cold killers and the emperors original badboys before the Hersey began is always something. The witty comic book style banter and of course running around in bat-costumes is always fun no matter what millennium you come from.

its not about the abilities, I agree with you. Tyranids DO deserve an absolute meelee monster. Its about forgeworld agressivley pushing the model at a huge points discount of what it should be. Riptides are strong, but they are usually 200ish points. This is probably statted as the best monstrous creature in the game, minus the ability to fly, and its points should be hovering around 250 to 300. It was the same with the rvanna before they fixed it. They make models, but then have too much control on how its statted/points cost in order to make it seem like a no brainer for your army. Like the vendetta was, its too good for its cost.

Eh, I'm not too fussed about the Stonecrusher. T6 and a 3+ armor save means it isn't too hard to shoot down.
What I am disappointed with, however, is that they missed a chance to update the Red Scorpions Chapter Tactics a bit. Rerolling Pinning tests is a bit less relevant in this edition, especially given the "cannot go to ground" penalty they get.

The Riptide costs 180 points base. That's massively underpriced for what it comes with stock. 5 points more allows you to potentially wipe out entire TEQ squads turn 1.
For 165 points you get a Monstrous Creature that will kill anything it gets into base contact with (unless it has force weapons or rending in which cause your 165 point MC is screwed!), but has a 3+ save and a 6'' inch move.
Forgeworld is but an apprentice in the craft of overpowered cheese units compared to the artisan that is Games Workshop.

The Gal Vorbak is built upon the remnants of the Serrated Sun Chapter of the Word Bearers Legion, the conquerors of the primitive world of Cadia who looked into the depths of the Eye of Terror itself and in doing so were changed for all time. Their psyches infiltrated by creatures from the darkness of the Æther, the survivors are named the Gal Vorbak, or “Blessed Sons” in the language of Colchis, and are possessed of strengths and abilities far above those of other Astartes.
It is said that each of the Gal Vorbak was host to some form of Warp entity, itself subservient to the greater scheme plotted between Warmaster Horus and the nightmare powers beyond. In battle, this being comes to dominate the mind and body of the warrior. His already mighty form swells as hands turn into rending talons and jaws into slavering, fang-filled maws twisted beyond reason and reality. At Isstvan V, the Word Bearers’ pact with the horrors beyond was sealed in a great ritual of carnage and betrayal.
