Tyranids Rumor Roundup

[Aspire to Glory]

I agree with StarWarsDoug,

When your collection gets to a certain size - it becomes about the visual design and coolness of the models. Rules wax and wane - but a badass model is forever.

If the design turns my head and I collect the army - I'll pick one up.

That's how I started in '02 and that's what I've gotten back to these days. I have a hard time buying models for the rules. I need to know I'll enjoy painting it and seeing it on the battlefield.

Fair enough. I'm not in it as much for the hobby aspect as I am the challenging tactical aspect. I'm sure there are plenty of folks that don't see it my way.

Either way like Doug said, it's moot. Faeit's got the entire December release up for perusal, and there are no Tyranid anythings on there. If it's a two-wave release, it'll be Jan-Feb. I would've been surprised to see models release before the codex anyway.

So I'm brand new to Warhammer. Been playing about a Month and I'm hoping to pick up the Tyranids when the new codex releases. My question is, in perusing a friend's older codex I saw Harpies and some other models that don't appear on the Games Workshop website. Is there somewhere else to pick some of these models up?

[Nicholas Schott]

Nope, GW basically wanted us to kit bash them off of existing kits. Making a Harpy out of wings from a Hive Tyrant and body of a Trygon.

Any pics of these models? I rather like the Hobbit game.

Damn straight! Pleasing skirmish rules are pleasing!

If you wait about a month and a bit a Harpy kit *should* be released going by the rumours.

I'm actually giving some more thought to the "giant monster" rumour. Maybe it can be a proper transport option or a psychic 'destroyer'?

what if its a building?

Yeah I just hope that if we get a transport option, it doesn't suck. It'll pretty much need to be T8 with a 2+/5+(i), a 12" regular move, the ability to run, and have feel no pain just to make it across the board. And, it better be open-topped or else it's worthless.
