Meh well it seems like it's a change across the board for fliers. Not just monstrous creatures. So we will see. A speed boost and agility boost seem like a good thing if the bulkier fliers do not get them. So if it's done well. Heck maybe it makes our fliers stronger this really doesn't say much.

Remember it's not a tyranid specific update lol. So it's buffs away XD can't risk nerfing the SM.

Dun dun duuuuun!

Their adding a new phase to the game? A Dogfightinng phase?

[voracious]

Once upon a time a race called tyranids...

[topknot87]

Oh and of course, only at $58 a pop...great for me only running Nids

GW is releasing 2 new flyers for this...The Ork Blastajet and a new Space Marine interceptor called the Stormhawk...the pics of the Stormhawk show it being armed to the teeth...kiss our Flyrants bye bye...

eh. let's see where it goes. last two times we had supplements like this, they were buffed. as stated before, there is no telling what they're going to do.

hopefully the new SM flyer isn't an auto-include/pimpslap to us as well.

[Jabberwocky]

Well it's flyers, not FMC, so should have very little direct impact.

Hopefully the dog fighting is purely for flyers vs flyers.

[N.I.B.]

Combat, Pursuit or Agility. Each FMC will belong to only one category. I'm guessing Flyrant - Combat, Hive Crone - Pursuit, Harpy - Agility.

More guessing - combat FMCs will lose hard to hit but be able to land and assault the following turn. lol. In that case - goodbye Flyrant, goodbye Tyranids, goodbye 40K.

[gigasnail]

jabber has a point. it *says* it is flyers, which is not an FMC. doesn't mean that they don't actually mean all flyers/FMC, but that is what it says.

it also says it will have they will have 3 new stats: combat role, pursuit, and agility. combat role itself will have 3 different kinds (not combat, pursuit, agility; these are separate things).

[topknot87]

I realize as part of the larger Tyranid population I should be pessimistic and expect the worst, but let's not jump ahead before we can even read the book.

[N.I.B.]

Ah, ok. We'll see. I'm gnasing my teeth in advance, so I'm done with that by the release. I assume it means bad things for Nids, and if not, local TO's will ban the cr*p out of it.

[rroach]

Look on the bright side: it may not be a direct nerf. They could be just making other flyers too good not to take that FHTs are shot out of the sky T1.

I just know one of them is going to have some sort of net weapon that auto-grounds a FMC with a successful hit.

[gigasnail]

an indirect nerf would also sink the faction, because ground nids are as dead as julius caesar.

edit: the new SM flyer is *covered* in guns. (please do not swear) covered. it looks nasty.

nothing even hinting at anything for any FMC from the pics so far, will post if any pop up.
