Codex Tyranids: Summary in first post

[twistinthunder]

Signs point to no new Hive Tyrant model, but there may be plastic Raveners and Gargoyles.

actually we're probably not seeing a plastic tyrant.

from warseer:

Trygon (Plastic kit) – Alessio has been quoted as saying at GD Italy, "I cannot speak about the Trygon, but a hypothetical model would have the same detail and more versatility than the Skaven Doombell"

The pictures below have been confirmed by Brimstone as resin masters of the kit, rather than the kit itself:

Gargoyles (Plastic kit) £18.00 / US$29.00 / 22,75€ / Oz$48.00 – No news yet

Raveners (Plastic kit) £27.00 / US$44.50 / 35,00€ / Oz$74.00 – No news yet

Pyrovore (Metal box set) £20.00 / US$33.00 / 26,00€ / Oz$55.00 – No news yet

Toxathrope (Metal Blister) £12.00 / US$20.00 / 17,50€ / Oz$33.00 – Shown in White Dwarf:

Hive Guard (Metal Blister) £12.00 / US$20.00 / 17,50€ / Oz$33.00 – No News yet.

New Battleforce box £60.00 / US$??.?? / 85,00€ / Oz$165.00 – No news yet on contents.

Thoses prices are rubbish. £60 for a battleforce is madness and GW never charge £27 for anything

[Scryer in the Darkness]

Thoses prices are rubbish.

Those prices are straight from GW. Get used to them.

£60 for a battleforce is madness

The Empire Battalions is £60, as will be the Tyranid Battleforce.

and GW never charge £27 for anything

They do now... or rather they will in January.

Pash and why reprice the guard???

[StratManKudzu]

They are not the existing tyrant guard models but new hive guard models. new species, new rules, new models, new price

[The Custodian]

... Scryer is here now also? Huh... As Strat said Hive Gaurd does not equal Tyrant Gaurd...

[xarius]

when you think of the original trygon rumours came out years ago with the planetstrike/valkyrie etc. rumours it seems to have been a batch of designs that have been put in motion and only time will tell what happens but it seems likely that these new 'big' kits will come out for every new race (wolves are an exception as they are just marines with extra gubbinz)

did that make any sense?

That's precisely what I was reconfirming.

More speculation: if Tyranid Warriors are being broken up into multiple slots as per specializations, perhaps these 'Hive Guard' are taking their place within the HQ slot: tougher, smarter, more powerful squads of Warriors to serve as an HQ choice. Maybe they can take more of the heavier bioweapons, or psychic powers as well.

Yeah, and lets hope they don't look ridiculous like the Tyrant guard models...

I ain't pashing no one!

... Scryer is here now also?

From time to time...
