We don’t want to say too much right now, but there are lots of them, they’ve come a long way, and they’re VERY hungry. For biomass. Okay, you forced it out of us – it’s the Tyranids.''
Me, having just bought all the relevant shiny Tyranid books to get back into 40k, thinking 'nids were safe for a good while due to current rumour directions.

GW hasn't followed exchange rates in some time. Americans pay extra for being wealthy and American (apparently), Australians pay extra for living in a part of the world thats upside down from the UK.
Thats why GW has instituted regional sales policies, otherwise it would be cheaper for Americans to order from UK discount retailers than to go to their local stores.

Exodites. Still present in the fluff, actually playing a somewhat more important role, but not present in game terms yet (that I can recall anyway).

It might read that way, or it could be they're saying the next xenos codex (but not necessarily the next codex) is Nids, which isn't exactly a great leap because there's nothing xenos based left.
GW rarely does larger releases back to back, and both Eldar and CSM will be quite large releases with updates to existing kits. It doesn't makes much business sense for CSM to come immediately after Eldar.
Tyranids meanwhile will likely be a modest Codex+new model(s) release.

If you are quick enough, can you get a refund?
Eh, too many different sources plus will fall outside the date range . Ah well. Good thing I have some spare funds next few weeks.

The Codex is going to be obsolete of course, but Warzone Octarius will likely remain a relevant book as I doubt the codex will have the Synaptic Link rules and definitely will not have the Leviathan Supplement.
Same with the Crusher Stampede WD rules.

Yeah, I'm worried now.
On the one hand, it'll be interesting to see what they look like this time around (tyranid rules are highly random between editions), but on the other claw... they seem smushed in between what we've been expecting.
Just... pyro/biovores and lictor plastics, minimum. Just a wafer thin release. Not a token book + irrelevant special character.

I read the infos for the links different. They will be in imo, why wouldn`t they? But in a couple of weeks we should learn more and get a seperate thread.
For the stampede i would agree.
I would've expected Nids to have originally been scheduled around / slightly before the Leviathan supplement and been pushed back, similar to Custodes.
So they're squeezing it between Eldar and CSM now.

I've spun this off now to save derailing the Eldar thread:

Felt the same way after buying the cards for the Marine 'Dex that had only just come out at the end of 8th. Of course, no one knew it was the 'end of 8th' at the time.

Swore off buying 40k printed material that day.
yeah, I swore off buying printed material in 8th for similar reasons, just much earlier on.... only for GW to not give me a choice in the matter by removing digital options.

I wonder if further down the road, GW will release both Autarchs in a single box? It's technically not a conversion, but the fact that the Codex cover has the older Autarch with the new one's weapon option is kind of interesting.
(I am aware that the two kits are compatible, but I didn't expect GW to actually have artwork showing that)

Yeah, it’ll be when they release a model of the techpriest on the AdMech cover.
The whole art = models thing is a fair bit looser now than it was at one stage.
