Tyranids Rumor Roundup

[Mr Mystery]

Could simply be an interwebular 'place holder' name. It does seem likely that if we get a Harpy, it will be a dual kit, as dual kits seem de rigeur.

Could also be correct, or entirely made up.

Not long now though!

The Tyranid rumors are flowing:

Upgrades:
Fleet for 1pt per model

+1 Adrenal Glands - Fleet and Furious Charge

This bit doesn't make sense - why buy fleet for 1 pt when I can buy adrenal glands for 1 pt and get furious charge free?

[Dakkadakka]

Upgrades:
Fleet for 1pt per model

+1 pt Spike Rifles
+2 pt Spinefists (now Assault x(minimum of 2) Twinlinked)
+4 pt Devourers

1 per 10 can take:
+10 pt Strangleweb
+15 pt Electroshock Spitter (S4 AP6 Template Assault 1)

+1 Adrenal Glands - Fleet and Furious Charge
+1 Toxin sacs - Poison (affects cc attacks)
+2 Toxic grubs - Poison (affects ranged fire)

I don't get it. Why pay a point for fleet when I can pay a point for adrenal glands and get fleet and furious charge?

To demonstrate your superiority. Good players don't need furious charge.

But most likely that particular bit of rumour is just not true.

It's either made up, or just as likely misreported.

Or just a mistake in codex design, wouldn't be the first time...

My bad - collation typo. It's on me. I would assume the +1 Adrenal glands is the actual goods, and the earlier mention of fleet is a corroborating fragment.

Ill tell you exactly what happened, multiple sources sent the info in and it was aggregated into a single post. In the process, the fleet rumor was repeated with slightly differing info.

Read it as " Gants can get fleet for 1 point, and heres how: buy adrenal glands for 1 point and get fleet and furious charge."

I think there is too much nit pickery of rumors.

Next batch:

Tyranid Warriors

Tyranid Warriors available in both HQ (Tyranid Prime)and Troops.

- HQ Warriors function as the Prime's retinue, and do not deploy separately.
- Prime + Retinue may deploy in a Mycetic Spore.

Troops Warriors are mostly unchanged.
Updated Biomorphs.
Adrenal Glands is much improved.
Warriors cheaper in points. (75pts base for unit).

Harpy-Eirnye

- Arm design is similar to the Forgeworld Harridan.
- Wings attach to the body via 2 sets of arm slots.
- Back 2 pairs are for the wings.
- First pair of arms is reserved for various weaponry/gribblies.

[Dlatrex]

For warriors to be "cheaper" in points, I'd hope that's 75 for a set of three, instead of a single model!! =)
