[relentless]

So a rumour over on faiet says in the new white dwarf in the next issue bit there is the phrase "imperial citizens, take cover"

You know it to be true!

[slithernaut]

"False alarm citizens, our apologies. It appears the Tyranid fleet doesn't have enough warp charges for their new power. Go back to your business. Hail the Emperor!"

[seanster3000]

Rather it be a Codex Supplement than a new model. At least a Supplement, in an off chance, can help balance out our rules. Maybe.

More like.. Imperial citizens may I please have your attention,**insert picture of hungry looking tyranids in the snow** The tyranid fleet is here. We are not looking for much just a few generous hearts to help those less fortunate, anything you can spare helps. The times have been very hard for them, and any money you can spare to help those in need. If you want to stand beside other caring and loving imperial citizens please join our organization

**insert more pictures of hungry looking tyranids wandering around in the snow with slow fade in's and out's**

Donate now to the FTOF (Feed a Tyranid Organism Foundation) today for the low cost of 5 imperial credits a day and receive a "The emperor loves you" blanket. You will also receive a picture of the Tyranid you helped support.

Remember citizens, the emperor protects.

Nobody hoping for a 3 man plastic biovore box set? I know I am. The current ones are way too expensive, ugly, and resin.

[Mauler]

Assuming that it's Tyranids at all...it's not like humanity is well loved in the 41st millennium lol

[N.I.B.]

Please, not another Tyranid rock-paper-derp release.

[mattblowers]

Meh. I have lost all faith in Gdubbs. It is painfully obvious that they have absolutely no idea how Tyranids work as they keep shoveling us more and more models that don't really work. I just went back and looked at the 4th edition codex last night. I was shocked at how few models we had. Funny thing, we have 3x the choices now and we are decidedly worse off.

relentless,

I'm wagering this is more advertising for the two new tyranids GW has been hyping up lately. The toxirene and the malceptor. Idk though. We also did just get a new bigger gaunt/tyrant/tervi box on the pre-order list. We're JUST now getting two new bugs though, I really doubt they're going to release another half an army for us to buy right now(but for some reason, as crazy as it felt to type that, seeing the words on "paper" made it seem plausible with GW behind the wheel).

[tain2002]

Peoople forget that GW are a model producing/selling company first and foremost and secondly produce rules to help selling.

they even say that on their website

[seanster3000]

I was looking back at all of our old codexes too and found this in the 3rd edition codex and thought it relevant:







We all know that GWs loves to play "Were's Waldo?" with hints about upcoming releases!

[N.I.B.]

I like that poster, it has a strong, fascist appeal.

Exactly my thoughts. Maybe GW doesn't care about 40k as game because they are in a desperate situation - thinking they need to release new kits and rulebooks/dataslates/supplements quickly with ever increasing prices to try to get quick cash rather then focus on the long term health of the game? I don't have hard data but consider when 5th ed hit, how many dexes a year did GW average and how many new models for armies came out a year (and nids were an exception as far as I can remember with the number of unit increases in our dex from 4th to 5th ed dex - and many of those units didn't have models).

All those years back then with slow dex and new kit releases - was GW making money then - I thought so? Now they are pumping out dexes quickly (which most of us wanted - if serious effort was put in) which you'd think would tax their resources to do this properly and make them more profit but on top of that we get all sorts of additional books/dataslates, etc. Has GW been badly managed and made poor investments that they feel they need to get pumping out kits in the hope for sales regardless the mess the game is in? On DakkaDakka some people went through GW financials and indicated that the company is not doing well - revenue is down.

My hopes are for a kit of Plastic Biovores and they give them the spore mines they use to have, instead of the generic S4 AP4 ones there are now. The bio-acid mines were pretty nice. And while I already have 3 metal ones 3 plastic would be nice due to easier to transport, less chance of breaking, and easier to paint, no chipping or flaking. Biovores are pretty useful and I like to include at least 1 brood in every game and they're either very useful or they do nothing, but at their low point value it isn't a terrible gamble.
