Red Terror in 6th Edition?

[mattykw]

Hey guys,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I love my Red Terror model, however I was curious if there is any FAQ or White Dwarf entry that lets us use him with the latest Tyranid Codex?

Saddly no.. I miss him aswell, perhaps one day

[mattykw]

Thats what I thought

Alas, he's going back to being used as one MoFu Sexy Ravener!

I had hopes when they moved his model to finecast, but nothing happened after that.

he could also be a tyranid prime (or, if he red terror had synapse, she)

I just checked on the GW site and this is what it has:


The Red Terror

The Red Terror is an urban legend come to life; a terrifying creature covered in teeth and claws, from the tip of its tail, to the front of its fang-filled face. Imperial scholars have suggested that this creature was the first Tyranid Ravener, an experiment by the Hive Mind to create a fast-moving killing machine that could appear without warning and consume its prey whole.

The Red Terror makes an excellent centrepiece for a unit of Raveners. Alternatively it could be used as a Tyranid Prime equipped with an abundance of scything talons.

Looks like it is just a show piece model now, and is under the Tyranid Fast attack section, counting as a ravener or Prime.

Saying that, I have used mine as a Prime with 2x Boneswords & Scything talons to allow it to ignore armour and possibly Instant kill my opponents.
