its not so easy to dismiss since the guy whos been feeding us info about the warrior box has pretty much confirmed it by stating he couldn't speak more earlier until it was leaked to the web, then it is in the transcript, and now he is stating that he can finally talk about it. Which does include the haruspex part

then furthermore from endobai on warseer
Heh, so it is out.
I can safely say something more.
All those sets allow construction of another unit, also the Haruspex which can be assembled as... another creature from Epic 40k.
Hive Guards got another weapon option which can be seen on the leaked image. The weapon is electricity based. No doubt inspired by Teslas, but I have no idea if it works in a similar way.
Tyrant Guards are very lovely. My most favourite models in the release combining what is the best in the 3rd and 4th metal models. Several weapon options just like with the warriors.
I think that they got those new 50 mm bases. I was mistaken in the past with the SM Centurions so forgive me if I make commit another once again.
Haruspex is damn ugly so you will recognise it immediatelly, but its 'twin' is actually really nice looking MC.
Harpy's 'brother' is not called Eridne/however it was called in those rumours.

also from terrorfex on warseer, this is the full post. Lots of interesting points
+++++++++++ MAJOR UPDATE +++++++++++
Behold brothers and sisters, I have more evidence than you can handle Today we thought of kidding around with games Workshop and since my local dealer has a pretty good relationship with its GW Area Distributor we thought about try to include 3 Boxes of Plastic Hive Guard alongside the other products he needs to order. What started as a little joke ended up with a massive info leak. I was standing next to my dealer while he phoned, the speaker were turned on and this is what I heard with my own ears:
We: Hi XXX, we wanted to make an order GW: Ok we can put the stuff in the package for this thursday We: *name all the normal products* GW: Ok I have managed your oder We: ah and I saw a box of Hive Guards in the net - I want three of those aswell GW: Haha yeah leaked pictures - and you know that. You need to wait till january We: Does that mean we finally see bids in jan? GW: Yeah, preorder around new year We: can you give me some information or is this super secret? GW: Yeah I can - we will inform the stores pretty soon anyway We: Do you play bids, too or have any idea behind it? GW: *searches Data* no not really, I rarely play We: Ah ok GW: here is what is in our system: a Harpyie for 62,50€, Hive Guards for 45,50€ . Haruspex for 57,50€ and a warrior box for 45,50€ . We: No Drop Pod? GW: Apparently not We: Hmmm strange - I thought they would finally release one. GW: This is pure speculation but I think I heard that the drop pod is no longer in the codex. this new creature is a transport thing We: Cool, no chars, fine cast or clamshells? GW: No just the things I just said, thats all. We: Cool, can you tell me anything else? GW: No - thats all We: Ok Thanks
OK WE HAVE: Tyranids in Jan Harpyie 62,50 Schwarmwachen 45,50 Haruspex 57,50 Krieger Box 45,50.

from BOLS
We rate this set of rumors possible, coming from mixed sources.
Release Basics The total release contains 9 new kits, 3 clamshells. ZERO Finecast.
At least 1 new unit per FOC category.
Tyranids may ally with themselves. Their ally FOC is as follows: 1HQ and 2 Troops default, plus optional 1 Elites, 1-2 troop, 1 Fast Attack, 1 Heavy Support.
Biomorphs are in a seperate codex section in categories, with various Tyranid creatures having access to different categories. Biomorph categories are: - Basic biomorphs - Rare biomorphs - Psychic-Leader biomorphs - Unique biomorphs (only 1 each per army)
Units Rumors Ymgarl Genestealers retain their ability to assault out of their hidden location.
Lictors only allow snap shots plus gain a hefty cover save when they are unveiled.
Raveners and Hormagaunts are Beasts.
Hormagaunts come equipped with Fleet by default.
Genestealers gain an A, and WS bonus.
Carnifex gains a T bonus, and may take virtually every biomorph in the codex (bringing back all those plastic bits from the kit into use.)
Trygon Primes move to HQ.
Venomthropes and Lictors are purchased in broods of 1-3 per FOC slot, but deploy and operate independently on battlefield.
New dedicated Transport big bug. May purchase a twinlinked set of heavy weapons, Transport capacity of 20 small bugs. Counts as an opened top vehicle for assault purposes.
Another "new" big bug is a direct import from EPIC with it's name unchanged.
Trygon & Raveners digital dataslate from GW Digital the same month as the codex release with a formation allowing Raveners to assault out of the Trygon's Deep Strike tunnel.
and then furthermore ..
GW: here is what is in our system: a Harpyie for 62,50€, Hive Guards for 45,50€ . Haruspex for 57,50€ and a warrior box for 45,50€ .

Epoch, I'm saddened that you are interested in stopping what you do, hopefully something much better has come your way. I understand what its like launching a site and getting a ton of orders and it turning from being a creative fun thing to do that nets you some profit into a beast of back orders with no one to help you meet the demand (along with normal complications, bad batches, mistakes etc). I've seen that you are or have been somewhat close with Blue table painting. Out of curiousity, why would they not be interested in picking this up from you. Shawn has the space, the people, and the funds to at least get this stuff in a manor where they can just crank it out. Perhaps he may not be interested, though it wouldn't be the first time he has taken over another's business because they could not keep up with it. And this also would add a new aspect to what they do there, giving him a wider market. He posted many videos and at least sounded very enthusiastic about your work, so i'd imagine this would catch his interest. Maybe theres a reason why you don't want him to be involved i duno.
In any case i hope its not just a backlog issue and you truely just dont want to do it anymore and have moved onto something else, because like others have mentioned, its a shame to not use talent like that. Your work is very impressive and I wish I was in a better financial state to purchase from you (the crushin claws and spore pods are my favs). I'm not going to guess at what you were making but i'm guessing this is something you've been doing above a normal 40/hr job.
Also, consider if you are going to sell the business or part with the molds and such that perhaps instead of asking for money upfront you request a percent in royalties based off of what is sold. Sure its not as great as money up front, but would be more of an investment for you and probably pay out more in the end.
This is the type of thing i've wanted to do, but lack the artistic talent for it as well as have a hard time wrapping my head around how something like this could match what i currently make at a normal white collar office job / benefits and all that. Thus why the assumption that this has been something you've been doing in addition to a normal job or possibly college.
In any case, I wish you the best, business isn't easy, especially when you become popular. Theres tons to consider deal with, logistics, if you should hire employees etc, i'd imagine if you wanted to continue this route and backloging was the cause of this, shawn may be able to give you advice there as well.
Anyways this is way to long, sorry if i confused you, but I do believe a lot of us looked up to you and your work wished we could do something simliar.

Well fritz has posted the same warrior pic stating warriors are getting a new kit also
"Here is the new warrior pic. No other comment for now other then warriors are getting a new kit."
he apparently got in trouble for the hive guard kit pic and has been extremely quite since. However he also was deadset on a december release.
Prior rumors from awhile back stated a new warrior kit supposedly with wings/bonesword/whip etc options which would also have a prime option. Since then there have been rumors of a prime in a clam shell pack. I personally im voting for the prior option though. I'd imagine they are gone cram as much stuff into the box as is needed for warriors then do a serious price hike to around 70ish, thats all my imagination though..

why would you be able to give fleet for +1 point but also give adrenal glands which give fleet and furious charge for +1 point, i know which one i'd choose! lol
Even if its stating 1 per 10.. why would you only give one per 10 furious charge...doesn't make a lot of sense and i think that applies to the special weapons

Eh, i can remove the link no worries, didn't think it would harm TTH to have a link to another page like that, only if we posted the information directly to TTH, but i could easily be mistaken. I'd imagine its hard to hold someone liable for a site they have nothing to do with apart from it being mentioned.

The thing with Natfka people I think misunderstand, is HE DOESN'T make rumours, he just collects them from any source (which he credits for) or gets it from people on his site. So when he "hears" from someone, it's just like from most sources, they always here it from someone else, NEVER from 1st person view. So not sure why all the hate for him. He doesn't claim anything, just gathers them. Not like other people who claimed our guaranteed 100% for release in Nov then when that didn't' happen a release of some sorts in Dec. Funny they guaranteed it, but never did anything when they were wrong lol. Well personally i enjoy it, its entertaining, whether or not it actually comes to fruition. Ya it sucks to get disappointed, but the hype is worth it Regardless finger pointing doesn't happen when it doesn't work out

mostly more of the same, did find this interesting though
via an anonymous source from the Faeit 212 inbox. stores in the UK are not getting any more tyranid warriors, hive guard, tyrant guard or pyrovores
that would back up the earlier statement of the attempted ordering of tyrant guard from spikeybits with a result of they arent able to be ordered from gw

I kind of stumbled on this while looking around 40k sites. I Figured it may be of interest to a few of you guys if not a lot, apparently the site is in beta, i'm not really certain how they are able to get around IP issues but, guess that may not have come up yet, looks like the codex rules are included but main rulebook rules like independent character and such are left out, which was similar to the tyranid army creator. I was looking for quite some time for a program for orks that was similar, this may meet those needs.
Anyhow its a site that allows you to build army lists and print them, lists rules an such as well, again still in beta, but take a looksie
link has been removed..

Even with that, i'd be pretty darn surprised if nids for some reason do not get released in january, sure its possible, but the likelyhood is pretty slim in my opinion. With that said, theres only so much time until january to surely find out

Well from the guy that is running the tyranid rumor thread over on BoLS:
look sharp - we're hearing the Tyranid release photos/rumorstorm is about to hit...
So ya, no new information yet, there is a picture in that thread that showed a large flying creature, but appeared to just be a harridan. Its still just the first week of december, stuff should be coming soon though
