Is that the most intresting they have to leak from WD?
It's already 4 pages/detail leaked, but still nothing major about Necromunda or whatever maybe

Meh. I prefer the old Tyranid start collecting box. The Eldar is an improvement but this one I think, even if Gargoyles where a pretty random unit, the Swarmlord/Hyve Tyrant and the Tyranid Warriors where better.
The old box was 107€, the new one is 104€, but thats only because the Broodlord is 33€ and is EXTREMELY overpriced, even more than the Primaris HQ's.
I suppose I'll buy a Tyranid start collecting before they dissapear.

Is that...A TRYGON!?
IN A START COLLECTING SET!?
AND A BROODLORD!?
I think I died and gone to heaven. Or at least purgatory with a nice buffet table. Automatically Appended Next Post: Also this combined with the other thread's leak of an Eldar Start collecting box makes me think the codexes will be a double-release like the GK and CSM.

The first picture says
Codex Tyranids
Pre-order 04 Nov
Available 11 Nov
Along with a bunch of prices for various countries.
The second picture is of the new tyranid starter box
Containing a Trygon, a Broodlord, and a unit of 8 Genestealers.
This is a much better starter box than the previous one.
In 8th edition, Hive Tyrants, Warriors and Gargoyles are all fairly 'meh'. Not awful units, but not exactly competitive choices either.
Meanwhile Genestealers and Broodlords are some of the best units in the army. Trygons are pretty great too.

Woo! I was hoping that this would be soon. Just finishing up eighty Gaunts from the Tyranid Swarm bundle. So. Many. NIDS! That was a fantastically priced box set. I hope that GW does something similar in the future.

Start Collecting boxes shouldn't be based in what is good and what is bad in that particular edition, or you end with things like the Eldar one.
They should offer the new player a balanced force to have a feel of the aesthetics and gameplay of the army.
I'm not saying this Genestealer one fail at that, but... when you have Genestealer Cult as a faction, they should at least try to make the Tyranids something more than just "More Genestealers": The Hyve Tyrant, and the Tyranid Warriors were fairly iconic Tyranid units. Gargoyles should have been changed for gaunts.

I do agree with you in that this is not the iconic tyranid force; it really should be a box of warriors, a box of termagants and a Carnifex.
But any semblance of rationality went out the window when I saw the TRYGON AND BROODLORD.

I think the only issue with Warriors + Termas + a Carnifex (which, btw, I 100% agree makes the most sense) is that it doesn't include an HQ selection. Granted, theoretically you can make a Prime out of the Warriors.
But yeah....this set is screaming "Genestealer delivery service!" set (which I will probably purchase )

I kind of wish it wasn't a BroodLord - I can see why it just feels like a bit of a pain to have getting started where there's two units you want more than one of and then one that you really only need one/two of at most. Still depending on price it could be neat and one can always trade on the brood lords as required.
I wonder if that's the end of "new" stuff or if there's anything else that nids might get!

What is in the new Eldar SC box? (Sorry, I don't see a thread about that.)
The new Tyranid SC box looks like a bit of a ripoff. Automatically Appended Next Post: And $40 for the codex? I thought they had learned a lesson or something... But no. No lessons.

Based on UK prices and assuming the Getting Started is £50 as the others are:
Trygon/Mawlock £36
8 Genestealers £18
Broodlord £25
Total = £79
So that's basically a free Broodlord (which is good because, like most say, its very overcosted for a single character with no additional arms/poses) and a little bit more.

What? Does the number of minis really matter? These are, with the exception of the Farseer, all larger models, and the savings are in line with most SC kits. I don't see anything to complain about (other than the War Walker being ugly as always).

The old one always looked kind of funny next to say, Deathwatch. Four bikes and a tank compared to eleven guys and a walker.

I wanted the WL just for looks for a while, the WG for the stats on the table, and will take the extra stuff for basically free. Dob’r like the look of the walker, but their stats are pretty solid. And it would be nice to have a HQ on foot made not 20 years ago.
I liked the last Eldar SC box as well. Although I think of it as my “stop collecting” box, as it gave me the units I wanted and needed to get my collection up to a comfortable play level. Everything after that is not something I need, but something I want. Which brings up to the new box (which has a bit of both for me on 8th)
