Units we'll lose.

Is there a date in the diary for when realistically the new Tyranid codex will be coming out? (Guesstimate)

[infornography]

Right now, expectations are the new codex will hit in January. This far out though, there is still room for a shakeup.

I would expect some sort of Building, but I'm not sure it will be in the codex, as I see it more of a supplements release.

That's an interesting idea and one I'd love to see implemented. I'd be quite happy for them to give us a balanced codex based on what already exists, then for new stuff give us equivalents to the fortifications everyone else gets.

Emplaced anti air weapons would be a natural option, but spawning gaunts, rippers or spore mines would be cool too. I'm thinking from a fluff perspective there, and I'm not sure how such an idea could be implemented in a balanced way[/quote]

Or a floating MC with those abilities. Provides massive synapse as it drifts over the battlefield. Not very mobile but it can't be assaulted. A Zeppeligon.

Spawn more Overlords!

Unless GW release a kit to dress up a dog, I doubt we'll be seeing a 40k scale Dominatrix.

I'd be fine with that. But, to be fair, they need to release a kit to dress up a toddler so the Imperium can have an emperor titan.

Carnivorous canines vs. titanic toddlers. Best. Halloween. Ever.

Id personally put a 6 foot man as more of the Emporer Titan Scale. So thats a Halloween costume for me!

The reason I speculated about the building is that we are specifically denied use of Buildings equipment by the FAQ. I think they will revisit this in a suppliment down the line - Cityfight or similar, that will be filled with Buildings that are race specific.

I'd love some kind of high altitude anti-air bug, something that can only be shot at with skyfire (no option to shoot it with normal guns) that acts as our anti-air. Something that shoots snapshots and ground units (it would need a special rule stating this), has skyfire and interceptor, with long range. It would be some kind of W4 MC (so mid size) that always has to swoop, and never takes grounded tests. I could see it having only a 4+ save to balance it out.

As for what we will lose, I'm betting the uniques we have that don't have models for could easily disappear next dex. Red Terror had a model and he still got deleted. Since RT model is still sold by GW though, I could see him getting added back in.

I love the red terror model - hope he doesn't get side lined.
