Howdy Guys and Girls :)

Some new schemes for the expanded hive fleets - Hydra looks awesome (and fits well with the classic Space Hulk Genestealer Scheme). Gna, Hydra or Leviathan for me? Can't decide ...

Hello again !!

I) Psychic war

The new nids are really bent on ruining Psykers day !

Combined with with shadow in the warp it's interesting !

II) Weird combo.

Yea on the paper it's strong getting T8 and -1D to all attacks. But you don't control the activation.

III) Bio artifacts

(Good to have confirmation, some spoils had error)
This venom canon is tasty for sure !!

Hello everyone !!

Now that the leak are comfirmed by GW, who do you think win the adaptation race ?

Hydra is interesting but Behemoth offer great threat extension, so i guess my winner is Behemoth !

So what do you think ?

Hello everyone !!

We already had a lot of info about the nids but here the official preview (so we can compare).

Hello everyone !!

UPDATED :
Even Moar info here from lord Hikaru

Load of leak from : SEEG on the Tyranids hive boards

http://thetyranidhive.proboards.com/thread/53797/new-codex-rules-preview?page=7

hive tyrant is now t7, 12W. wings will have deepstrike. has a base 4++. down one attack. didnt manage to see the pointage or the wargear options. no idea if monstrous rending claws are still a thing.

carnifex are t7 as well. slight cost reduction

maleceptors deal 3 mortal wounds if we roll a 6 on that weird aoe ability. it knows 2 spells and can cast and deny 2 spells. also t7. also 4++

1 is a stratagem tied to a fleet whose name i cant remember.
start of psychic phase, choose one enemy psyker (cant remember if there's a range or if its from one of our own psykers). Targeted enemy psyker uses only 1 dice to roll his spells
and a warlord trait: if an enemy psyker within x inches (cant remember the range) fails his cast he suffers d3 mortal wounds.

There is 20 pages of post i just copied the First 2 pages !

More stuff :

behemoth: reroll failed charges

Kraken: can charge after falling back

Gorgon: reroll 1s to hit for fight phase

jormungandr: always have cover bonus (i'm not sure if i read this right)

hydra: reroll misses against units with less models during fight phase

kronos: reroll 1s to hit for shooting, IF the unit doesnt move

Leviathan: looks to be the same as salamander tactic but i'm not 100% sure

Hello everyone !!

As every Sunday now GW previews what's on pre -order for next week !!

-Nids codex (nom nom nom)

New week, you’ll be able to order a Tyranid codex worthy of the might of the Great Devourer, packed with updated rules, new ways to build your army and no fewer than SEVEN Hive Fleet Adaptations – new army-specific rules designed to represent the horrific diversity of the Tyranid swarms.

These Hive Fleet Adaptations will cover the most well known of the Tyranid Hive Fleets – Behemoth, Kraken and Leviathan – as well as developing the background for four more – Gorgon, Jormungandr, Hydra and Kronos. All the adaptions have been designed to be fun, thematic, and powerful; Hydra, for example, can re-roll hits in close combat against units they outnumber (which, with Tyranids, shouldn’t be too tricky!).

We’ll be previewing some of these over the next week, as well as looking at the myriad changes and new options in the book including a wider variety of Carnifexes, adjusted points values. and some advanced new Stratagems.

Hydra, for example, can re-roll hits in close combat against units they outnumber (which, with Tyranids, shouldn’t be too tricky!).

Scenery
upgrade for the Chaos fortress: Turn your fortress to a mega castle - chaos star style!
(I have all the elements to do the big one, half assembled/painted)

The Ryza Pattern Ruins can be ordered as a stand alone.

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

Today's Regimental Standard has a very cool article on retro Tyranids - including Zoats!
