already?

I know. Honestly guys, its been 2 and a half years xD While we are at it, lets ask when the new Necron Codex is coming out, or 7th Edition rumours! It seems like we are jumping the shark a little bit...

i suppose....i really don't see the harm in wondering about this. especially with posted, accurate* rumor sources. Not like tactics isn't getting discussed in tactics.....not to mention player made dex's come up every once in a while or "what would you change" threads. Want i should apologize for being curious and inveatigating? =P

You are right. I dunno, it seems like it is a little early for the hype of a new codex xD but there is no harm, since it brings up what we would want in the next dex.

I think an official mycetic spore model or shrike wings (or whatever else people don't enjoy kitbashing/proxy/covering in hot glue) would tide people over till then *coughGWPeople that might read this* ...

[biorivera]

i'll agree with your assessment. im in an argumentative mood lol, too much american politics >.>

I would prefer the harpy and doom models be released long before the spore if only because I've spent time making spores and would not enjoy having to buy gw models just to keep asshats off my back.

my prediction

Rumour has it that there will be a harpy/harrier duel kit. I recons the harrier will be an anti aircraft/tank hunter creature. Its weapons will be the unknown biomorph gun pictured in the 6th edition rulebook on the tyranid weaponry illustration page. Maybe a twin lined version (tyranid autocannon). The kit may feature a generic body, wings and head and may include twin linked strangle thorn cannon, venom annon and harrier gun. It may also include some plastic spore mines to stick on the underside of the creature and some free standing spores on bases (probably three).

The Rumoured plastic spore kit will prob include the barbed strangle and venom cannon upgrades and some rippers tentacles. I also hope they do something else with it aswell. maybe it could also double up as a scenery piece with some rules in white dwarf (brood nest).

The rumoured warriors set will include stuff to makes shrikes and all biomorphs.

New pyrovore rules to make it AA creature? WTF

NO CODEX UNTIL AT LEAST JAN 2015 (if we are lucky)

My lgs owner has informed me that there is a doom model ready to be released and encouraged me to be patient and not kitbash one unless gw drags their feet for an extended amount of time

[riverzora]

I have a kitbashed one... But I was about to splash out on Hydracast's Hive Lord... But I may wait and see what Citadel come up with...

[dakkathrope]

Yea, I'm I little worried they will make something I dislike, but that would make it the second (maybe third depending on mood) nid model I dislike.

I doubt a Spore Model will come with the weapon options, or not all of them. Many of our kits are missing things, especially the new ones. Flyrant doesn't come with Devourers, Tervigon doesn't come with default front limbs. Expecting a Nid kit to come with all the bits is a bit outlandish.

They used to, back in the day...

And Termagants come with nearly everything... Only missing spike rifles and stranglewebs.

You know they will release those arbitrarily in fine cast with a new wave soon too! haha

That would be the biggest middle-finger to tyranid players ever.

I would really like to see Toxin Sacs give our shooting attacks the Poisoned USR. That would bring us up to par in many ways, and it would make sense. Marines would hate us.
