Wait... twelve data-sheets???

Um, Tyranno/Sporocyst, Mucoloid Spore, Maleceptor/Toxicrene, Neuro/Zoens Brood... and um... six more????

Datasheets would include new formations like the mentioned "Skytyrant Swarm".

That was what I was thinking. Could they (re-)add even more stuff like Ymgarls?

Ah, of course, they call formations datasheets as well. 6 new units and 6 formations makes sense.

Well, according to the product listing there are six more Tyranid formations...so maybe?

sounds like some sort of auto look out sir formation? I hope that the Tyrant doesn't join the unit, otherwise... Majority toughness 3...

Are rules actually out for the transport spores? If so are they actually listed as transports? Does that mean that if you take them for gaunts they become OS? Has this been covered and I just missed it in all the excitement hehe?

They're always Heavy Support, they just don't take up a slot.

theres totally a broodlord in the swarm picture on that page

That Broodlord is massive.

That looks gigantic for a T5 3W model.

We can probably rule out a clamshell in that case; I doubt it would fit on the small sprue of one.

New and improved Citadel Conch Shell pack

Looks to be as big as a Carnifex!

I did not realize the Tyranocytes were that huge, jesus. That is a tall huge model. Any one got a pic of size comparisons?

Then it might be a box like the Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun.

Do the other Sporocysts or whatever take up a FOC?

Sporocyst is heavy, Mucloid is troop

I was just thinking that. Given its size it seems the most likely option.

I dont know if this has been covered, but If theres going to be a dual kit for this new campaign I bet that Broodlord is going to be a limited model specific to that set.

Im thinking stormclaw here by the way.

I don't want to buy any more Tyranids that I already own, but that Broodlord, were it a limited model part of a Stormclaw-esque set, would make me bite the bullet and buy more Gaunts.

If thats the unfortunate truth, I will have zero money, seeing that I need about 5....

Just a quick shout out for people with Mucolid woes. I am making Tyrannocytes out of the newly released kit and using green stuff to replace the missing tentacles for the Mucolids. Stop by my WIP thread for some coverage:

If anyone needs help trying to pull this off just post a comment or question.




On topic...I can't wait to get that new Broodlord. I have a space hulk one and another converted from my bitz box, but the new one looks pretty rad.

Great idea with the greenstuff!

That Broodlord is fantastic. He's immense.

If he is part of the Leviathan box I hope the resellers aren't gouging too deeply.

That broodlord is the space hulk torso with different arms head and base. Not that big.

nah dude, look at the pictures, that thing's fething huge

Careful. There's every reason to believe that Brood Lords might go back to HQ, especially if they're making a big song and dance with this HUGE new one. You mightn't need one for every squad.

Perhaps its gonna be one of the mega size clampacks like they have for WFB? Or maybe it will be its own small box the same size of the TEQ Chaos Lord?
