What are you going to buy?

[Davor]

What are you boys and girls going to buy? I know it will be the Digital codex for sure for me.
Maybe even the Collectors edition, IF the cover is awesome enough.

I guess I will be buying one of the new big bugs, and that will be it for first day buy, and then
slowly start buying the rest of the big bugs, and Warriors.

I would love to buy everything all at once, but don't have the money to get it all. So what
about the rest of you? What will you get on Day One and what do you plan on getting
later?

I'm new to Tyranids and have no models at the moment. I will buy Hormagaunts, Termagants, a Tervigon and a Hive Tyrant. So nothing new . I love the model of the Flyrant and I think a magnetised Tervigon/Tyranofex is still one of the best units. Hormaugants and Termagants are just a must have for every Tyranid player I think. After that I will take a look at the new models, but I think that Gargoyles and Carnifexes will be next for me.

I'm going to buy:

Codex
Cards
2 Harpy/Crones
2 Haruspex/Exorine
1 Warrior Squad
1 Hive Guard/Tyrant Guard squad

I'll go grab the codex locally (as I have a gift card for it), but the rest I'll get off someone on barter town, which will probably end up saving me $200+ from CAD prices..

I'd definitely check out the package deal they are going to sell, the 95 model swarm.

I'll get the limited edition codex(If the cover is slightly better). I don't know which of the new models I'll buy before I have spend enough time with the codex and cooked a new interesting tyranid list.

I'm on the fence about my metal hive guards (6) and tyrant guards (3). I'm considering selling them as I'm not a huge fan of metal. What are other people's plans with them?

Okay folks, Lets keep Rumors *out* of this thread. We have a thread for that. (We also have a thread for discussions like this, but since this thread was first, I will leave it.)

I'm pretty sure i will buy that. Hope it contains Termagants, Hormagaunts, Gargoyles, Genestelaers, Warriors and a big bug. But I need something to paint between Christmas and the new Codex, so that I can choose a color scheme and get used to it. Still I think that for Newbs like me the old models are more usefull than the new ones. Perhaps I'll buy a pack of warriors and a pack of hive guard.

Codex and I want the Crone. I didnt like the haruspex at first but am warming to its cheeky little smile!!
But yeah, spend time with codex then buy late January...

[Kwodd]

Limited codex and cards to start, probably 3 boxes hive guard and 3 haruspex kits depending on stats. Not crazy about the harpies or crone but if they're too good not to take then I'm in for some as well.

[Epiales]

I'm debating getting the limited edition codex. This may be mentioned elsewhere and I just missed it, but is there any indication of what will be in the limited edition one to make it worth it?

Glory.

Oh I forgot about the cards. Not playing, never used them. I will have to remember to buy those as well. Thanks for the reminders guys.

Also how do you use these cards? Just for quick reminders when playing?

[WestRider]

Yeah, the cards are just for convenience. All the information on them will be in the Codex as well. They can be really handy, tho.

I'm grabbing the Codex itself, and at least one set of the Psychic Cards, possibly more if the Dex still rewards spamming Psykers.

Other than that, it's wait and see until I actually get my hands on the Dex. I'm on a pretty limited budget these days, and I'm going to have to be absolutely certain of what I'm getting.

I used to set them by the models, but recently, I've made these with pictures of my models:



I then laminate them and use a dry erase to indicate the powers.

Now, I like just having a complete set (I've got all the other sets) since they are limited run.
