I think going further into the future I can see GW making Termagaunts/Hormagaunts into a dual kit.

Don't the rippers come on the gaunt and warrior frames?

New Zoanthropes confirmed?

http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/11/zoanthropes-and-venomthropes-gone-for.html

There has been a lot of chatter coming my way about Zoanthropes and Venomthropes being no longer on the Games Workshop webstore. Today we have a little bit of direct information from the Games Workshop Customer Service.


This was reported earlier on "Warhammer Fest & Golden Demon 2014 on Chaptermasters.com"

“Hello *******,
thank you for your email. Unfortunately, the Zoanthrope is no longer available in our webstore and there are no plans to produce more. I’m sorry to have disappointed you this time.
Kind regards,
Lisa

Games Workshop Customer Service”



Perhaps something completely new is coming?.......

I think people need to learn what the word 'confirmed' means

They do, they're just still trying to sell off those old, old rippers(old to me anyway )

And the current rumor is a plastic Tyranid Prime in the box, no Broodlord.

Gotcha. Well I hope they do the broodlord instead. We already got a plastic prime. The Broodlord has a nice model in the spacehulk set but is still a little hard to get.

Shield of Baal is the first release for the campaign. There will be more. It comes in two hardback books and in a slipcase.

book 1 comes with all the details on the invasion- background
includes the invasion of the Cryptus System, called the shieldworlds of Baal.
the astra militarum, blood angels and even the sisters of battle are mentioned here.

book 2 is rules including, Echoes of War scenarios (6), a cities of death expansion with 6 new missions, death from the skies rules for aerial combat.

Forces of Leviathan: a new detachment for Tyranids with warlord traits, datasheets for new units, and new formations.

Well if it says Sisters of Battle it has to be fake, no?

Of course not, the Tyranids need some pre-battle snacks after all.

Well, they could literally be just mentioned. Like, 'hey, there were some sisters over here too, used as blood sacrifice to save against daemons'.

Hmm, that's a little too integral of a role. I'm thinking along the lines of:
'Brother Galileo stepped over the corpse of Sister Bismillah, reloading his Bloodcannon with the practiced ease of a grizzled veteran. Things were about to get grim up in this darkness.'

The separate rippers GW sells I suspect will be around for ages - they are very overpriced for what you get both in model terms and in what they are on the table top. I suspect that they are just clearing stock on them (very slowly) and that once gone you'll just get rippers from the sprues of other models - although they could do a spores and rippers pack in plastic.

Hmm, two books in a slipcase? Seems like they may be copying the method they used with the end times, with a fluff book and a campaign book. Those books are very good and very well done, and if they are that I might feel tempted to get them. Esp if there are some sisters as well, but i doubt that. GW wouldn't make everybody happy at once especially with the nids having a drop-pod now.

I'm playing Saturday night and I am definitely going to drop "Things are about to get grim up in this darkness"

Well the two book thing sounds good. Any idea how many pre-order Saturdays that is away?

*claps*

Wonderful stuff.

Please let there be a decent Sisters formation in the book. We need formation love too!

Well, seeing as the next announcement included 'A New Campaign Begins!', I'm guessing the week after the pre-orders for the Tyrannocyte go up, so Saturday the 15th.

denied.

in other news, legal triple flyrants, Doom of Malantai returns and new formations inbound.

I really am wondering if we might get a new psychic discipline. I hope so!

Huh? campaign? Is this an end times type thing? Where did this come from?

Storm claw, the Red Waaagh and...that other book was a 'campaign'. Nothing as sweeping as the WHFB stuff.

It is just like Stormclaw but with Blood Angels and Bugs.
Kinda want the books with them having COD and flyer combat rules

If this is anything like Stormclaw/Red Waaagh the rules will be released separately later on so I wouldn't worry if you miss out. However they could be virtual ones only...

I'm torn between buying third party pods or the GW ones.

Well, they kinda used to be. Back in the day you bought one box that came with both termagants and hormagaunts (I think maybe 12 of each?). Then with the 5th edition codex they split them into separate boxes, and of course those boxes now cost almost as much individually as the previous box cost that gave you both, but you know...

Anyway, 3 per box? That's interesting. And good.

Wouldn't be the first time; there were bitz boxes included in those old grey suitcases with all the tools they used to sell. Basically, they were plastic tubs with a sticker with 'Bitz' on it.

Not sure about the painting guide. They already have one :/

The thrope kit sounds reasonable though.

Have these been posted yet..?

DOOOOOOOM!

Thanks cave!

Good god that Neurothrope looks badass!

Right after I get 2 zoans and venomthrope built and painted in damned fine cast......Doesn't matter. Still awesome.
