New bundle deals for Tyranids on GW

[bolk]

Just checking out the Warhammer 40K tab on GW, and suddenly the entire page is filled with Tyranids? Apparently 2 new bundles up: Chitinous Swarm and Carrion Harvest.

And on Bestsellers: the Finecast Biovore... Hahahahahahaha yeah right.

Interesting, apparently they only show up on the UK Tab when I google it (I'm usually on the US version). Looks to be some decent bundles, unfortunately they don't help me too much since I have so many Tyranids already. Yeah that Finecast Biovore thing is funny, though it's probably because that's the only way to get 3 Biovores right now. Kinda mad that I have to get 3 $40.00 Biovores to get my Biovore brood, luckily my local gaming store does 15% off Games Workshop products, so that helps a bit.

could these be some new formations do people think if so when are the rules out?

[swarm492]

That's an interesting idea, normally the dex is first before formation bundles pop up, and we are not even in the rumors.

[gigasnail]

i can see them on the US site.

but, oh, lol, the prices.

[topaxygourouni]

Yeah, 400 eu for groundnids. Naaawww.

Also, it is just some primitive kind of marketing scouting on GW's behalf.

"What do people play most of the time in tyranids?
-"Oh they pod carnifexes, sir"
"Ok let's bundle that one up."
"But sir, we have been putting carnifexes in every kind of box ever, so everyone has like 6 of them already"
" Well publish it all the same. They gonna pay for the two tyrannocytes. Good job lads".

[swarm492]

Heh, Gw do you want to sell something nid related? Cause minis isnt going to be it. Perhaps a codex would sell, maybe some objective cards..

OK lads survey time, this Chitinous Swarm, who here can already make it with the minis the own?

"Raises hand"

[topaxygourouni]

"Raises two hands".

[mattblowers]

Hmmm. I wonder why the push? Not interested. I'm committed to finish painting what I have. (I said the same at 2,500 points, 4,000, 5,000, 10,000, 12,000, 14,000) but I mean it this time.

In Canada you save 2 dollars on the Carrion Harvest.... Why would I pay shipping exactly?

[slithernaut]

"raises hand"

Are these the first fexes outside of deathsorm to get the oval bases?

Watch out for that auto correct on fexes.

They've been doing these bundles for a few armies so far... I'm honestly not quite sure what they're trying to achieve, unless it's just throwing some pseudo-new stuff out to keep 40k flowing whilst they hammer down with AoS?

The swarm is strong with this one

I think this is pretty much it. They don't want there to be a complete lack of 40K "releases" while they're focusing on AoS.

I really don`t get this, what`s the point if you don`t even save anything on these bundles? Yeah that will sell more models. If I was GW`s CEO I would be embarrased.
