OMG I THINK I'M IN LOVE!

[daboarder]

so, Toxicrene and Malanthrope are up and having seen the 360 views I must say I love these bugs, so cool interesting and a new take on the Nid look.....damn shame about the rules though

[gigasnail]

they really do look less derpy. nice.

[Exocrine NzL]

I agree! I got the White Dwarf today and those two gringo's look badass, I'm sure I will have a blast painting both builds

[vespa]

Yep, those bugs might just give me the motivation I need to finish my Heirophant so Mrs Vespa will let me get 2 of those kits and build 1 of each option.

Rules do not concern me, they look awesome.

[seethe]

Wow toxicrine looks great, but the malceptor is a huge suprise. Now im considering getting two and converting the malceptor in to a barbed hierodule with leftover tfex cannons.

Mrs. Seethe is going to be upset, I can already tell.

[Inquisitor Stingray]

Aw, crud, both those really great. I really want to get at least one of them, they're just soo expensive! To think that a model like the Exocrine was released just a few months ago, from the same company!

[seanster3000]

Get one now, and then there is always Christmas time!

[malebranche]

Wow the Maleceptor looks freaking awesome why must its rules suck ugh

Heh good point, maybe I can get the wife to spend her money on the malceptor

[killercroc]

I very much do like the look of the Malceptor. I even don't mind the rules all that much, still gets the Primary and one other power so Catalyst is preferred but none of the other powers are bad (besides warp blast). If anything could be a counts as Tyrant if you want something different looking leading your swarm.

[arapaima]

Money and biomass taken.

Imo gw need to look at better angles to present our new nids. When i got myself the crone and finally 360 degree view, they dun look like awkwars kitbashed catnifex.

The rules are fine. After a few playtest games, I can say with confidence that the Toxicrene is bonkers good. The Maleceptor is definitely one of the more unique single model units in the game. It requires some finesse to play correctly, but is by no means the worst model in our arsenal. I have found him a pinch better than Tervigons in 7th. I need to play about 5 more games before I'll figure out for sure, but his power is just so...costly.

Both look amazing at least. The Toxicrene actually has a massive footprint with the tentacles, and opponents think of it as downright scary! (NOTE: I am okay with using a bug that draws all the gunfire. He's tougher to kill than one might think up front. Also keep in mind that math hammer is irrelevant once a game starts, because units rarely end up in those exact situations, in a vacuum, without any other consideration.)

They don't, and never did look any derpy. People drawing irrational, knee-jerk conclusions at the onset of a grainy 2D picture may have thought so, but that happens with pretty much everything.

[gigasnail]

whatever boss. the initial pictures looked kind of like butt for the brain bug. the tentacle toxic hot-mess looked promising but i'm a fan of that whole genre.

[daboarder]

From now on I'm just going to assume everything Brassangel says is dripping with massive amounts of sarcasm directed at GW, and like it all....should be funnny

[guidebot]

The Maleceptor looks great! I really, really want to build and paint one. How bad is it that I'm so put off by the codex and also the model rules that I'm not going to? =(

Look at that thing! How is it a 4+ save? LOOK AT IT! Its so armored!

I guess it does have exposed brain.
