ior Annoyance

[bloodborne]

So, in continuing to slowly build my force up, I've managed to get a set of gaunts, and, much to my dismay, they come with NO biomorphs, seriously, I know that Games Workshop is bad with this, but come on now!?

So, now I am left with the question, where can I get the amount of T/S or A/Gs I need? I assume the gant box, but I hesitate to think that correct, since there are none for the unit that seems would need them more...

and to annoy me further... my keyboard is being buggy... again... fml -.-

I know. I recently bought two boxes or hormies, only to find "my princess was in another castle". Honestly gw... no TS/AG for my close-combat swarmy unit, but give em to the shooty guys? sigh

Don't even bother put the Biomorphs on them. It takes a billion years to fit those small toxin sacs upgrades on all of them. Just tell your opponent what you've given them before you start playing.

I had a similar problem a few years ago when I bought a Chimera for my IG. All of the pictures on the box showed the vehicle with a turret mounted heavy stubber, so I assumed there would be an imperial upgrade sprue in the box as there was with all IG tanks at the time. Oh how wrong I was.

I complained about it to my store manager who in all fairness opened another kit to see if it was a mistake, it wasn't.

I then complained on the phone to customer services who basically said that there's not meant to be a stubber in the kit so basically tough luck.

By this time I was fuming, so I sat and wrote a very snotty letter about not being able to build the model on the box without having to spend a further £7 on the upgrade sprue.

The day after I posted the letter I received a very apologetic phone call offering me a free upgrade sprue.

Did they change the box content? No, they changed the artwork.

... I got a ravener with only one set of arms. it was really bad. It was when the old metal ones were out and the scything talons were hidden behind the body of the ravener so I couldn't see them. I bring it home and to my suprise, only one side of scything talons was in the box

I just used the Adrenal Glands from my Termagants, and then ordered extra ones on ebay.

I had tons of spare ones from kits over the years , so it didnt bother me

I know dat feel. I once ordered a Tyrant Guard, which turned out to have two left hind legs.

It's a darn shame that Games Workshop is trying to go lightweight whether possible, but it's hardly a new thing. The Space Wolves Battleforce is pretty much stripped of anything bar the absolutely necessary.

However in all fairness, if you order something directly from Games Workshop they are very understanding and usually aren't afraid of offering compensation. When I bought my Tervigon/Tyrannofex-kit, it came without a manual and base, so as to apologize, Games Workshop sent me a new kit, essentially giving me two Tervs for the price of one. That really surprised me, in the most positive way.

it's because the gaunts used to be packaged together - they had the Hgaunt sprues, the Tgaunt sprues and the guns/biomorph sprues. when they split the box up, the biomorphs went to the Tgaunts. Otherwise, you could see leaping devilgaunts...

Well not buying the Gaunt box, I could be wrong, but I have bought the battleforce box set, twice. I believe the bio morphs should come with it, if bought brand new.

So if this was bought brand new, not opened, don't get upset, just call the 1 800 and let them know. I am sure they will send you a brand new Gaunt box at not cost to you.

I had a very small minor problem with my Venomthrope. I called to let them know, was expecting anything in return and they sent be a brand new one.

So your minor annoyance can get you a brand new box set. Yes you will still not have biomorphs for the set you bought, but now you will have a brand new set of gaunts and the gaunts you do have can be used for gants spat out if you have a Tervigon, since they don't come with any bio morphs anyways.

Also since we do not have a War Gear section or what ever it's called in the other codices, Tyranids do not have to model biomorphs for WYSIWYG because it's not listed as such in the codex. While yes they do have pictures of some minis with what looks like Bio morphs they are not official because they are not listed as such in a War Gear section.

How come other people go by what is in the War Gear section and not on pictures for other codicies? They use the War Gear section so same has to go for Tyranids as well. You don't pick and choose how to say something is official for each different codex.

i got leaping devilgants (: i builded them from the battleforce (:

[Lanesend]

I've got a bunch of leaping spinegaunts. The leaping pose of hormagaunts combines very nicely with the dual hand-held spinefists.

At the moment I really don't put biomorphs on gaunts. I just make sure my opponent knows. Never heard any complaints about it.

Same here - I mixed up all the gaunt weapon/bodies combo's to give some variation.

Did the OP call the 1 800 number? Curious as to what happened.
