Are we getting anymore formation datasheets?

[sajeel]

Specifically in the upcoming Shield of Baal book, does anyone know?

[daboarder]

Nope, we've got everything now, the datasheets in the upcoming book cover blood angels, flesh tearers and necrons

[russellr]

I still hope the "new big bug" rumour is true ... But won't hold my breath

[daboarder]

unless its a plastic heirophant I doubt it

[bigpig]

unlikely on the big bug. At least for now.

Hopefully BA get some decent formations. They look a little bland based on rumors so far

[daboarder]

I just want something that has no mandatory troops and extra Fast attack

[LordPathos]

I remember the "big bug" rumor being it was a "big psychic bug" right? Which we got. Good ol' Maley.

The one I heard said Baneblade sized which the lolceptor is definitely not.

[rpricew]

The Toxicrene is as wide as a Baneblade when measured from tentacles

[N.I.B.]

From what I gather, the new BA will be one of the strongest new releases.

I agree, I have been reading the rumors and don't see anything shameful on GW's part. Overall I think they will walk away pretty strong for it.

[brassangel]

Blood Angels definitely have a unique feel to them now. Probably the strongest army-wide rules and buffs of any of the Marine chapters. Mephiston is a killer steal for his points, and can hide in squads now.

As to the rumored Tyranid: if it happens, I don't think it will be a Hierophant, or any other existing FW model. GW is all but done cannibalizing FW.

If it happens, expect a new bug, likely a dual kit, or one with lots of options. What I would love is to see something that comes with biocannons, as well as other weapons. Then I can convert another Tyrannofex kit into a Barbed Hierodule. :-D

[swarm492]

I might not expect a new BIG bug kit, but if it did happen I would expect..no, DEMAND WS and Int 3. That's how I like my giant space monsters, flailing around ineffectively swinging away at unimpressive speeds at anything that's not part of the Tau army or a gretchin.

[sajeel]

There is 2 pieces of new artwork that depict the same bug, the opening page of the levitahn has that Nid head, and at first i thought of it as nothing, but then on page 33 of the fluff book, that creature is depicted again as a serpentine mass with multiple heads. I could definitely see them doing a gigantic multi-headed hydra-esq Gargantuan creature. Take a look at the art if you got the book

[gigasnail]

Eh, we'll see on BA. Some good, some bad, some wtf. Par for course.
