I'm very excited for these.
Tyranids were the army that got me into warmgaming back in the day, and they have been for the most part, largely ignored over the past half of my gaming career.
(mostly on account of the fact that my painting skills grew dramatically and i decided i had to repaint the entire army.. several times now, and lost steam. I didn't care for the way the last codex was handled either. never oicked it up or gamed with it once).
If the rest of the kit rumours are true, I'll finally be able to have the tyranid army i've always dreamed of.
looking at the height of the base compared to its width those look like 40mm bases.
The shorter stature and change to carapace really looks like Tyrant Guard. I would place bets on this being a dual kit, with the arm options for Tyrant Guard in the box. Until I see the back I'll hold out hope.
While my wallet, gently weeps....
Luckily, getting a pay rise this month

one thing that drives me nuts, is constantly having to go back and REBASE my models.. there is nothing worse than trying to cut a fully painted model off a finished base and attack it a new one.
that being ssaid, most of my tyranids don't have their bases finished yet.. but it's still annoying.
Where do you even get extra bases for your old models?
