Tyranids Rumor Roundup

[Skarekrow07]

Any word on what the tyranid swarm contains? I'm hoping it isn't just horma and termagants

My guess is 30 of the two gants, 20 gene steelers, 10 gargoyles plus rippers...but I'm hoping warriors are in it

Battalion is my guess.

No word as yet mate, the number 95 though is a bit odd and leads me to believe it won't just be Termagants and Hormagaunts. My best guess is that there will be 45 of each Gant/Gaunt type, then 5 Warriors.

no warriors, some gargoyles though and rippers. I am working through all the information I have.

Damn i really like the gun beast always wanted a big artillery bug. Then the horrid tendril monster is cool as hell. An even bigger cc monster yes please!

[Low key]

Is it just my glasses that are dirty or are those tyranid warriors not just the existing warriors? The bone swords and whips could merely be the finecast ones. Claws, stranglers and venom canon looks just as over dimensioned as always.

New flying ripper swarm?

They are the 'missiles' the Crone is armed with mate.

Hmmm, bummer for me, love ripper swarms! Any news on them? Or just useless garbage?

Confirmed details are that they are 13 points per base and lost the "die out of Synapse" rule. No word on other changes though. Basically, if their profile didn't change otherwise, what will make or break them as a unit is if Synapse confers Eternal Warrior.
