It Appears the Hive Tyrant model as it currently exist is Dead. just a couple weeks ago they move it form Trade to Direct and now I get an email that states:
"We are currently packing the order you placed with Games Workshop. However; one or more of the items you ordered have been discontinued and are no longer available.
The item(s) are:
99810106007
Tyranid Hive Tyrant
OBSOLETE
99060112043
Dark Eldar Haemonculus 1
OBSOLETE
99060112044
Dark Eldar Haemonculus 2
OBSOLETE
"
So i guess this means the Hive Tyrant is going all Plastic or a Mix kit to make one of the unmade Bug Models or full Finecast

God I hope they give us options to build a Swarmlord as well!!!!
All in all it might be a good news; Tyranid players may finally get some love.

idk, call me cynical, but i doubt we will ever get an option for the swarmlord and will forever be stuck creating our own swarmlord conversions. I am still figuring out how exactly i wish to do my bonesword arms for the left side, because the reverse the scything talon method looks horrid.

How odd, on the GW UK page it's still available for shipping within 24 hours. Same product code.

This usually means nothing, they may be awaiting new stock in the US or repackaging or god knows what. Though I suppose there is a slim possibility we might see a tyrant/swarmlord plastic kit. I've not heard any rumours to that effect, though.
Edit: It is still in stock on GW UK, Australia and Austria.Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

And Ireland and Belgium. Probably safe to say it is a short term stock issue in the US

I wouldn't put any money that. We'll have to wait and see what happens to stock over this side of the pond to get more conclusive info
