pretre Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Quoted from the dakka compilation: There are a few rumours regarding the future release of NEW Tyranid Mon-stars going around other threads at the moment and I'd like to compile them all here for an open discussion!First of all from Lords of War gaming - as you all have probably read already;Lords of War Facebook page.their track record for rumours are, as I understand, 7 correct- 0 wrong and none in between."Tons of rumors flying around about Necrons and they are all wrong. The Necrons will only see the release of a Necron lord, no codex will be released. Also Tyranids will see the release of two large bugs. The rules for their models will be in the box like the Nagash release. This is also just a model release for the Tyranids, no codex."The comments on the post which I found the most interesting I have quoted below;"What time are we talking for the Nid Release?"Lords of War Gaming:"The should release soon, within 6-7 weeks.""What are the new Tyranid releases like? Are we talking Tyranid equivalents to Knights?"Lords of War Gaming:"They will be big, I don't think that they will be that big. From what I was told to me, "It will give the army more punch." Cryptic I know, but that's what I have."Link below:https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=615854041874711&id=422816981178419 Lords of War Gaming:There will be a campaign book that is released early November. Necrons are not for a while I know of two armies that are next and another codex that will shock people next year.Lords of War Gaming:I been told that there will be a box like storm claw. BA for sure but I don't know it its Nids or Necrons. If I was to guess I would say Necrons following the Storm Claw model. 27/10/2014UPDATED* rumoured rules and stats....http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/more-tyranid-release-details-toxicrene.html Once again, the releases for this week if you are just catching up on the newsTyranid Toxicrene/Maleceptor 1 miniature $73Warhammer 40k: The Rules small format hardback $58Tyranid Dice Tin 10 dice $17via an anonymous source on Faeit 212*****ToxicreneHeavy Support, slight over 150ptsAcid blood, Lash whips, fearless, Instinctive behavior feedOn a large oval base with 10 long tentacles and a face like a lictor.A 5 wound t6 monstrous creature who is hypertoxic and shrouded. this means any hit gains instant death on a wound roll of a 6 due to a toxic cloud.

fluger Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I gotta say, the Malanthrope almost all by itself improved the Nid army. Heirodule really helps if you are allowing them. Both of those units sound interesting. I'd love to see Nids get more love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just saw this over on TTH: An Assault MC that brings its own Shrouding might actually be viable for 150-ish Points, especially if it's natively Fleet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterman Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I am sure the folks that like the haruspex model will love these guys but I'm not feeling em. Rumored rules sound meh as well. Which is good cause I already have a ton of tyranids to paint for my 7ed lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Mostly, I'm liking the idea of releasing new units with rules attached. Seems more practical and allows for army touch ups without releasing new codexes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems more practical and allows for army touch ups without releasing new codexes. At the rate of codex updates I imagine we will see a lot more of such releases. Was expecting such a release to coincide with a supplement though. Like say Saim Hann supplement when the old as dirt eldar jetbikes get replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The Maleceptor looks kind of like a giant Tyrant Guard. Still not that impressed by what I've seen of its rules, but it does look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a different species of Nid, it's the fully matured version of a "sub-species." Much like dinosaurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Good to see that GW is still making all of the Tyranid MCs completely awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 From someone over on TTH who claims to have the WD: So I was wondering what everyone's first impression of the new Nids were. Here are their stats/rules below:Toxicrene 160-ish pts (Heavy Choice, unit composition: 1)WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv3 3 5 6 5 3 6 8 4+Special rulesFearless, Instinctive behavior (feed), Poisoned 2+, Shrouded, Hypertoxic (6's to wound inflicted by poisoned weapons whether in combat and in shooting= instant death)Weapons/BiomorphsAcid Blood, Choking cloud, Lash whips, Toxic miasmaChoking cloudRng S AP Type12" 3 - Assault 1, Ignores cover, Large Blast, Poisoned 2+, Hypertoxic, Predatory sentience (Gets armorbane against open topped vehiclesand vehicles that have already lost one ormore hull points)Maleceptor 205-ish points (Elites Choice, unit composition: 1)WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv3 3 6 6 5 3 3 10 4+Special rulesPsyker (lv 2)Shadow in the warpSynapse CreatureWeapons/BiomorphsScything talosPowersMaleceptor always knows Psychic Overload and must generate the remainder of its powers from the Hive Mind chartPsychic Overload: Warp charge 2. Focused Witchfire. Range 24". Target must take a Ld test on 3d6 (Vehicles can be affected as well and count as having Ld 10 for the attack). If the test is failed the target takes d3 wounds no armor/cover saves allowed. Vehicles that fail take a glancing hit with no cover allowed. The psyker may attempt to manifest this power up to 3 times in each of its psychic phases. Each attempt must be resolved separately. However a single enemy unit cannot be the target of Psychic Overload more than once a psychic phase. If the Toxicrene can get Fleet via Adrenal Glands, I might consider it, at least for casual play. Probably not bothering otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 4+ armor saves are rad because it's not like Poison or Snipers or Autocannons or Missile Pods or Force Staves are things that exist in the game. I also love that Psychic Overload is basically Psychic Shriek, but significantly less effective and higher Warp Charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah. The Toxicrene, I can see maybe getting around the 4+ in many cases, because of native Shrouding, but the Maleceptor is just a target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Lords of Wargaming called it: What I meant was that people knew something was coming but the specifics were completely unknown and generic. They didn't know if the models were going to be MCs or just infantry sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 via Lords of War Gaming on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/LordsofwargamingI keep getting questions about a Tyranids Codex release and here's some info.1. This is a model release no Tyranids codex.2. A Campaign book will be released and if I remember correctly it's called Leviathan.3. Blood Angels are still coming.4. There will be a starter set that contains BA and Tyranids. It will be similar to Storm Claw.5. Hope to update Blood Angel rumors this week.

WestRider Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 The Blood Angels were prominent in the Leviathan Rising Dataslates. I wonder if the Campaign book is basically going to revisit those, maybe with a few tidbits tossed to the Aurora Chapter and Catachans on the side.

InfestedKerrigan Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm convinced they took a Carnafex Carapace and put it on a 3up of a Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
