Tyranid supplements and Rumours. (No codex rumour yet)

[Davor]

Just read this on BoLS, and didn't see it here, so I thought I would post it, maybe have a thread for Tyranid rumours. Since I can't find the rumours for the 6th codex, I will not post anything yet, till I can find or someone can post them and then I will update.

From BoLS. www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/07/40k-rumor-roundup-7-27-13.html

Codex Supplements on drawing board.

...

Nids:
Kraken,(interestingly no mention of Behemoth)
(And mention of Catachan Devil has come up a few times)

...

So interestingly we may have a Kraken supplement. So I wonder if this will mean that each Tyranid Hive now will have unique abilities/powers that other hives will not have, or unique FoC. Only time will tell. At least the rumours are coming out now.

Looking on lexicanum.com it could be just because Kraken has the most rounded history.
History begins with major Genestealer Planetary Revolts in Ultima Segmentum. Then Battle Macragge and Iyanden. Covers the major conflicts, so an obvious choice. Shame about the Zoats :-(

Aw I was hoping for some kind of genestealer cult suppliment... oh well I can't wait to see the codex and any suppliments we can get anyway.

BRILLIANT!

Looks like fluff's gone down the pan, then. :/

I wouldn't put a lot of weight on this rumor. Its early, way early ....and its coming from Stickmonkey who's track record on rumor reliability hasn't been as good of late. Plus, when you look at a supplement, there has to be SOMETHING which sets it apart from the bare bones codex. With nothing to compare it against yet, its hard to think what that could be with a Leviathan vs Kraken vs Behemoth supplement.

[Xantige]

Well, I guess we'll see what comes of it. I'm rusty on my nid fluff, but I can't recall anything about Kraken that made it especially unique from vanilla nids or even Behemoth or Leviathan... in fact... I'm not even sure what really sets any of them apart. They seem to succeed eachother, getting better and better at attacking the forces of man and xenos alike. The only thing special about Kraken (that I recall right now) is that it used a pincher strike, where Behemoth just charged in as one mass...

[WestRider]

Kraken was the first Hive Fleet to be supported by a pre-existing Stealer Cult infestation. So I guess there's a possibility that they could be working those in that way.

This is just wishful thinking, not anything I have any source on whatsoever.

[oranos325]

That right there is wishful thinking that I fully support

[glassiya]

Gorgon would've be better. Still, that's great we're not getting simple GenoCult.

so potentially we can get "monster supplement", "horde supplement", "ambush supplement". Hope so

[gingerwerewolf]

I dont see the rumor as being that good actually. I dont think that there is enough differences between the hive fleets to warrant a suppliment.

I know that the Iyanden one was only a bit of shuffling around the FOC but other than Colour I dont see the difference between Leviathan and Behemoth or Kraken.

I actually give more credence to the Genestealer Cult Suppliment.

I'm praying for a rule similar to the tau farsight supplement where kraken can be taken as a battle brother ally to codex tyranids.

[gigasnail]

double FOC below 2k, sign me up.
