Whoops. Premature submission. (Let teh jokes begin!).

I opened my kits today, both nid and wolves, and I must say, they are some trully impressive models.

Something that concerns me is with the Tyrant kit. The wings look like they take up one of the arm slots. There are a lot of non-modders out there that could run into problems at WYSIWYG tournaments where their Tyrant all of a sudden doesn't have a Venom Cannon or something.

It can happen (especially if you want to use wings, BS/LW and a ranged weapon), but from what I've heard from 'Nid players that've played around with the kit more it's actually a really simple change to shift the wings further up the torso to the carapace hole right below the back spore-chimney thing.

For pure "I can't mod anything" perspective, they could say that the scything-talon feet count as a bonesword, and they could roll up a long snake of greenstuff and lodge it in the mouth as a lash whip. (There's many better conversion options that I can see, but those'd be the easiest for a "non-modder". Other than... learning how to mod things?)

I put one of the new plastic Hive Tyrants together over the weekend, and to be honest I can't really fault the kit at all.

It has the majority of options in there, I actually have a lot of stuff left over as I opted for the Swarm Lord variant which when assembled is a proper beast!

My only criticism would be having to cover the gaps on the tail and top carapace, but I don't see that as a major problem and in no way GW's fault, as I can't see how else they would have done it.

However getting the bottom jaw on and over the tongue was a bit of a sod!

I don't really see the Flyrant weapons load out as a big deal, all the bits are there and if you didn'y want to lose an arm slot it wouldn't be difficult to attach the wings to the back carapace.

All in all a lovely kit, just wish I had magnetised mine now....

I'm liking the wolves, both pet and mounts, They look to be a big improvement over Canis.

Yes they are a huge improvement.

Did anyone else notice the flying tyrant does not have room for wings and 4 arms. If you use the wings, they take up 2 arm slots.

I am having to use 2 wings and 2 twin linked devourers for arms.

Tail as lash whip.

Horn on head and claws as bone sword.

The model looks great but for 50 bucks should be modeled appropriately. I'm just sayin...

Just got my tervigon last night it's a great model can't wait to start painting it

I just magnetized the wings to the shoulder carapace on the outside of the smoke stack thingies on its back. I ended up having to put together a small pin for it to give it the final strength, but it ended up looking pretty wicked. I magnetized all my options just so I had options when it came around to playing time for the bugger. The tail thing was a bit of an issue but with a little liquid greenstuff it worked out just fine. Stellar model though.

How well do the new kits go together? I've heard the new computer generated models assemble much cleaner/easier then some of the older large plastic kits.
