Ops wrong thread.

But yes VOTE for nids!

I haven't built my second Winged Prime specifically because I'm waiting to see if we're getting a real kit and what options it might have (not that 10th is big on options...).

Got plenty of Warrior bits to use with him.

They won't put out pushfits with options.

It's either same sprues as leviathan on own or new reqular kit.

Correct, but those of us with a hobby knife and a bits box might want to mod the pushfits we have to field options in the full kits.

The budget is not infinite, so will be nice to see what options we have before finishing our builds. I’d rather not have to buy every new kit…

I’d have thought the termagants would be very easy to just add a weapon option sprue to. So I really wouldn’t be surprised to see them just release the push fit with added sprues.

I would. It would be 1st for gw.

Gw isn't exactly hardest to figure out and since 8th been even more set to follow pattern.

They’ve sort of done that recently with the Chaos Knights - push fit sprue from the slaves to darkness start collecting with an extra sprue for command pieces in the ‘full kit’. It’s not exactly models from a new edition launch box with extra sprue, but it’s probably close enough to be precedent.

Heavy Destroyer is a pushfit model with options.

The Servo-Turret and ATV also came out in that first wave, although I can't recall if they were pushfit as well (and I can't check, as the GW website now has a damned queue for the Lion).

I don't find the argument "they have been consistent since the last time they weren't" to be very convincing, myself...

Just had a quick look at the sprues on the website and the ATV is push fit, hard to tell with the servo turret though.

I think they were the 2 pushfit releases for marines that every new starter faction gets these days yeah. To be fair tneva isn’t talking about pushfit kits having options, they mean pushfit kits getting additional sprues for weapon options. But I think the Chaos Knight one is pretty close for it to be plausible.

Read on Reddit that some people had bad experience with Leviathan models, with plastic being soft/easy to damage/break. Has anything similar happened to any of you?

Mine seems normal, even got two sprues tangled up and managed to get them apart without damage

Nothing about the plastic has struck me as being any different to any recent kit I've received.

No problem with mine either.

Only issue I had was the chest on my Screamer Killer having a gap in the join. But I’m pretty confident that’s my own doing. Got a second set so should be able to comment further once I get more plastic glue.

The Chaos Knights for Age of Sigmar were done this way – the Easy to Build Knights from the Start Collecting! box were released as a separate kit, with an extra sprue to build a standard bearer and musician, various marks and leader bits.

EDIT: Oops, someone beat me to it!

We may get a social media preview today (might be Tyranids, but who knows), the twitter account needs just 17 more followers to reach 125k, follower gain has sped up in the last days, so this will probably happen in the next couple of hours.

Even if it happens they won't release an article on Sunday, it will be coming tomorrow, same as the deathleaper

Mine seems perfectly normal GW style resin.

It could be people who are new to the hobby or perhaps they've only ever built mostly chunky solid space marines and the Tyranids with their tentacles and such are a new experience for them.

Another thing which can happen with push fit is if you use glue and don't trim the peg and apply glue to the peg/slot; the gas/glue mix can get stuck in the slot. This results in you having to apply more than normal force to join the parts which could result in breaking.

Makes sense. I did not follow their Instagram so i have no idea how the details worked out. I'd also guess they'll give it some wiggle room so that the counter is safely over the benchmark

Hate to tell you this mate but I think you got a recast :/

Dang it!

don't have the tyrandis, but had that problem with other GW core box models were the thinner parts break easy
like need to replace all the Stormcast spears from the easy to build models with wire because they all broke during playing (and they are standing on a multibase)

The worst I've encountered are Khinerai models because GW modelled them using their tails as flight stands - they look awesome but are so fragile .

Haven’t had any issues with the Tyranid stuff and I’ve built all bar the Screamer Killer so far.

There are lots of claws and spikes though so it’s only natural that they will snag on things.

Maybe people have been too rough/enthusiastic with them? Or maybe they got dodgy casts.

rather dodgy cast, as things that break on my models are not really breaking but snapping of with a clean cut which indicates something happend during the casting process rather than being not careful enough

Built two sets and there where no problems even with those tentacles. You need to be very rough to break it. and al my spears for the sormcasts are fine. i think it has also something to do how you handel and transport your mini's.

Plastic tends to snap fairly clean on most models. Shattering is more of a thing you get with drops on larger models, hollow models or resins.

maybe this is lost in translation

but there are 2 types of plastic breaking, one being of the "user" overextend or is not careful which gives a colourshift first and than breaks of

and the other one is a clear cut, most of the times with a spike in the middle that is caused by material issue
usually happens on spear, antennas and similar parts

Thats exactly how a tail on one of my Termagants broke off. Not even touching if just clipping it off the sprue and suddenly the tail falls off. And just like you explained, no stress marks and tiny spike in the middle
