The claws! the pods!

[purestrain]

Maw claws of Thyrax change to a generic relic (no specific weapon required) reroll wound rolls and +1A, for each model you kill, gain +1 attack (up to 3A)

Tyrannocyte gains T1 Deepstrike

T1 Double Talon maw claw Hive Tyrant out of a pod with 10A base? *clicks tongue* NOICE!

Theres also a WL Trait for 5+++ for all you tervigon enthusiasts, big momma will make babies all day long!

Under the presumption that CS is still around, you can have (if you get some luck rolls) 16 attacks in your first round of combat, and if you can pull it off again after wiping 3 models, almost 20 attacks on a hive tyrant at S8 (presuming you took AG) ap-3 2d

Looks like Bio-mass is back on the menu boys!

Are these confirmed or rumors?
T1 pod is huge and I want to buy more if that's the case probably

These are unconfirmed leaks, but coming from the same source as basically the rest of them, so some salt as usual but I would put them firmly in the believable category

Each pair of monstrous scytals adds 2 attacks

[ddt]

My maths makes it 9.

[purestrain]

Maw claws add +1 Attack static, you can then also gain up to 3 more attacks by killing 3 models in combat. They also reroll wound rolls

[purestrain]

So for anyone who is having issues with it.

The new Hive Tyrant starts at 5 attacks base. Monstrous scything talons are rumored to grant +2 attacks per pair, equipping two pairs would yield +4 attacks, up to 9 flat.

Having the Maw claws of Thyrax on him then grants him 1 more static attack, making it 10 base, with the ability to gain 1 more attack for each model you kill, up to 3 more.

For fun, if crusher stampede exists in the scope of the new codex you can give that same Hive Tyrant Rampaging beast for +d3 attacks in the fight phase.

You can then cast Aggressive Surge for an additional +d3 attacks.

If you successfully cast AS you start that fight with the hive tyrant with a base of 12 attacks, up to 16 max, if you kill 3 models within that fight, you have a base of 13 attacks, if within a subsequent fight phase you have cast AS you start that fight with 15 attacks, up to 19 max.

All of these attacks (if you have Adrenal glands, and why wouldnt you barring some extreme points cost) are S8 ap-3 2d, that reroll wound rolls.

Warriors have a new link ability to grant exploding 6s in combat, as well, HF leviathan is rumoured to have a psychic spell that allows you to have one unit bestowed upon it a new link from a unit on the field (warriors obviously)

I caved in and bought 2 more pods...

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Do we have reason to believe that maw claws on scything talons would allow you to get +1 attack on top of the +2 from scything talons? I thought that the relic would fully replace the scything talons
