The chain makes me 99% sure this isn’t Tyranids.

Space Flamingos

The paint job helps seal it as tyranids. They don't really use that stark white with dark chitin for anything else. The trailing pieces help too, though I don't recognize that particular claw design.

You'll get boned alright , they will both be base decorations for some special Catchcan models.

I've painted enough of those things.

That's a tyranid tentacle, you can even see the tip of another tentacle in the upper right corner.
Going by the design, it is at least medium bug sized.

Considering that Venomthropes, Toxicrene and Haruspex are already in plastic, we are looking at a new model.

A new Lictor kit, with the option for a Deathleaper would be pretty sweet.

I'm still hoping for a new plastic lord of war kit. A reimagined Tyranid Dominatrix with the supreme commander key word would be a big yes from me.

I have a box full of old space marine models (including two dreadnoughts) set aside to use as base decoration if we ever get a model like that

Seems too flexible to be the mantis like arm of a Lictor.

No, but it does look like its tail.

And having an extra spike or two along the length of the tail wouldn't be unusual...

Reveal the goddamn miniatures cowards we already have a backlog of literally dozens

Well, we do have that dead lictor on the base of that exclusive Catachan model, so clearly GW have at least part of a lictor model in their computers.

Which means we have hope for some new Eldar models, if Lelith's base is anything to by

Macro flesh hooks for a lictor

Yep, could be the tail or a claw/weapon/thingy for a variant like Deathleaper or whatever, but I'm getting Lictor vibes from it too.

Squig Tail for sure

Technically would still be a Tyranid, GSC units have the Tyranids faction keyword.

But GSC don't tent to have as much tail and/or tentacles as Hive Fleet nids.

What is the typical time frame for a rumor engine image to be revealed as a full model and the model subsequently being released? Is there any trend in this? I don't really follow the rumor engine much, so I have no clue about it. The friend I play most against will be very happy to hear new Tyranids might be coming. Any info you guys have would be welcome.

nothing really, we've seen one the same week if I remember right (ripper Jackson I think it was) and others only after about 9 months to a year

and if you add covid scrambled releases to the mix who knows

The longest I think was a Blackstone Fortress pic that took around 18 months, and sometimes they throw in ones that are only days away from reveal. But generally they tend to be 3-12 months.

True that… still, it could be out of left-field and be a lasher tendril from the new Battlfleet Ultramar boxed set…

Or a tenta-squig, of course.

Dr. House: "It's not Nids."

The armor plate setup is wrong, Nid plates get smaller towards the tip of whatever appendage/weapon, not bigger. The orientation is wrong too, the "point" of the armor plate needs to point to the end of the appendage.

The hook is also wrong, Nids don't have "broken" lines that define the shape.


My guesses are Chaos, Vampires, Dark Eldar.

It reminds me of Gargoyle tails after looking at it for a while. It could be a Lictor tail. .. but we have had a missing unit still usable in game that hasn't been legended... Legensd?

Shrikes.

Ripe for new kit and rules, and they can differentiate them from the normal winged warriors they have been for a long time.

This makes me hope for more, but if it's just one kit that's nice and good, I will be happy.

No, that's not accurate.

Carnifex tail accessory (plates going small-to-large towards the tip)
Hive Tyrant tail accessory (plates going small-to-large towards the tip)

Those are just two examples that came to mind right away; there are probably more. I think the metal Deathleaper also has some "small-to-large" going on (both his tail tip, as well as his mantis claws which thicken at the business end). So "Lictor tail" might be an alright guess

We all want this to be a Tyranid more than anything

Therefore we all know it won't be a Tyranid

I think it's super clear, it's one of the Emperors space marines !!

its a new eldari faction, these are from the crone worlds. These worlds have been sucked up by the warp and as such the eldari living there have been warped by chaos

This, although we all want to be proven wrong
