The Devourer Arrives?

[Osedaxx]

So... has anyone even heard of rumours that we'd be getting anything this month? I'd be blow away if we, instead of Tau, get the next codex. The WD teaser message has really rustled my jimmies.

[biomassbob]

I haven't heard anything yet. But with the rate of dex releases and only a few not up to 7th ed I would suspect nids would get a 7th ed dex within 6 months hopefully including all the supplement info and also the malanthrope (with a plastic kit).

WD teaser message?

At bottom of the article: "Blood flows, the devourer arrives and a quest begins..."

Hard to say, devourer is the go to nickname for tyranids for sure, I can't think of any warhammer fantasy faction that has been called the devourer before. Or it's something completely new.

[WestRider]

Devourer could refer to Ogres, or to a new Khorne Unit that eats people.

[grarik]

There's also supposably fluff about Slaanesh going into hiding after devouring a whole bunch of elf souls, so it could be a reference to new slaanesh stuff.

[BattleMetalChris]

Probably just the two new box-sets in the store.

I think if it was nids we wound have heard something, and by that I mean anything. Even before space marines dropped the rumor mill was alive that they were next even if there was no specific data available. If it truly is the nids, GW is doing one hell of a job on rumor control.

Would still love it if it was though.

Yeah I suspect it refers to the web store bundles. But I can still hold a whispered prayer that this refers to some monstrous bio-form that only descends from the hive ships to the planets surface when the fighting is at its worst.

Perhaps it will be a WD formation rules for the two new Nid bundles they put up on the webstore.

Fexes get shrouded on the turn they arrive from deep strike in a pod?

Fexes can assault from a pod?

Turn 1 Deep Strike, can Assault from DS, can't be shot at with Overwatch, weapons cause pinning.
Skyhammer Assault Node.

Why not? Doesn't seem broken for SM...

I'd take free drop pods over turn 1 assault tbh. I can never find the points to fit those damned things in.

Or even a 35 point discount
