Good summary of the rumours we're seeing all over the place. The nid rumours are vaguest of them all.

Oct/Nov 2019 for SoB makes me want to spit.

I saw a watered down version of this one on BoLS.

Thanks for sharing.

Now it's even more important that the Sisters get more Codex than Beta in the current Chapter Approved 2018.

Interested about 2 things:

"Tyranids are for the most part, in a very good position. The rumor actually says that only the bad/unused stuff is going to get a points drop." Could be fun.

"Rites of Banishment is getting removed or changed, seems GK are getting the regular Smite power" Boring if it is just copy/paste smite. BUT BUT! Imagine if GKs get the D3 MW on a regular cast, 3 vs Daemons. D6 on a 10+ cast, possibly 6 MW on a Daemon? Probably too good to be true. Would just MURDER Daemon characters.

[Jbizzy]

Bad Tyranid units is subjective... I am sure units I don't care about like Haruspex and Tentacle monster will drop 20 pts and units I want to be cheaper like Prime and Broodlord will remain unchanged...

[killercroc]

The main thing I find concerning is how much the Marine units are rumored to go down in price. If they drop most Marine things 5-10% then they're no longer going to be horde VS elite, Marines are dropping in points close to the horde units and that makes no sense. Marines are challenging enough when you fight them at 1:2 but if they switch that to 1:1.75 they're going to be impossible to beat. I will fully admit Marines do have some stupidly expensive units, but not the entire codex needs to go down. Like why would the primaris captain go down 9 points? It's a normal captain with +1 damage weapons, an extra wound and an extra attack for like... 15 more points, and they're dropping it 9? Seriously that makes no sense.

As for unused Tyranid things going down... well boy howdy that sure is subjective. I never use Gaunts because I find Genesealers beat them out every time... does that mean Termies are dropping down to 3 points and devourers down to 3 points as well? Cause I'd field Devilgaunts for days if they only cost 6 points. Is the Harpy dropping 20? (I mean it really should drop like 30-40 points) Mawloc dropping 40+ because it's almost unusable. Lictor gonna be free?

I am very concerned.

Unsub rumors from somedude@wherever.

Why is anyone concerned?

[killercroc]

I'm concerned because the vast majority of rumors that have been coming out of the salt mine have been valid. Damn near every single Ork rumor was true. Rumors use to be (please do not swear) and never correct but the ones dropped about Orks, vastly true. Tau, vastly true. Guard? yep those too. So you can say "ohh they're just rumors man, you don't need to worry about them they're not gonna happen" until when they drop and it turns out the rumors were actually on the money.

Yes it is very possible these rumors are nothing more than that, but are you confident enough in that you'd be willing to bet money that these changes for Marines don't happen?

[gigasnail]

Sure, these things might happen.

Monkeys might fly out of my butt, too.

But by all means work yourselves up over incomplete (at best, being very generous) rumors. It's funny to watch.

[killercroc]

Comparing the likelihood of rumors being true to monkeys coming out your butt is disingenuous to say the least. It's a joke on the internet sure, but you're actively ignoring a the pattern of rumors coming true just because... I dunno you have nothing better to do then complain about other people voicing their opinions online? Not sure if trolling or literal autistic sperging.

[gigasnail]

i'm actively disparaging anyone taking seriously a (please do not swear) rumor monger site that regularly spews (please do not swear), and has occasionally recently pulled something relevant out of their ass, yes.

i'm not sure how that qualifies as literal autistic sperging, but hey, if you want to be a *crow caw*, be a *crow caw*.

Agreeing with Gigasnail on this.

Why bothered getting worried about what "might" happen?

It's a completely unconfirmed rumor from someone claiming to have some inside info.....so like anyone on here.

Also if it happens to be true be like a Nid....adapt 😁.

[autoxidation]

Because it's fun to speculate.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You do you giga.

People love rumors and conspiracy theories. Your crusade is as likely to succeed as spitting into the wind. Evolutionary biology wins everytime.
