More leaks of known leaks, but from actual codex photos!

[purestrain]

Spikeybits just dropped a rumor article including some photos seemingly from the new codex Here



Looks spicy and is seemingly confirmed by korkin on the Nid Discord

I had to click on a spikey bits link. I feel sullied and unusual.

Spinefists not a garbage option, in my lifetime. Strange days indeed.

Good on the Swarming Masses ability, hopefully all the little gribblies have it.

Interested in the hive tendril keyword, not surprised but a little disappointed that so many wargear options are mostly becoming strats

[hivemind03]

Oh wow. Toxin Sacs are old style rending and scything talons are each plus one attack (not plus one per pair), so 7 attack warriors.

This can't be real

Other things to note. 10-20 models on gargoyles. And a power level that suggests 7 or 8 points per model.

I also like the fact you can bring a Prime without needing a slot if this is all true.

I thinks hive tendril is needed to avoid "Tyranids" keyword confusion with gsc.

So, here I am, done feeding the little Rippers and a hot coffee by my side. What's the first thing I see in the morning on my favorite forum?
THIS.
Best. Sunday. Morning.

Apparently warriors will be 25ppm irrespective of load out (cannons excepted) so it makes sense for them to be +2A per pair to compete with bone swords still sounds pretty crazy though.

Im not sure about Alpha Warrior, its "weird" texted.


.....each time a model in that unit meakes an attack, re-roll a wound roll of 1.


question: the model makes one attack of 4-7 blows, or, its counts each attack separately of the model? (you re rooll all 1s from a model, or, just one 1 from a model)

almost a question: I have this almost for sure, if we can only re-roll one 1 of the dices per model, we have to throw dices for each model separately and no all together to see wich ones makes 1 and wich not.

[kazetanade]

Attacks are meant to be made 1 by 1 in 40k. In order to speed things up, we employ fast dice.

If all the attacks are practically the same effect, you can reroll all of the relevant dice together.

This wording is the same as used in every other aura reroll, so I don't think it works differently.

That's how all the re-rolls are currently worded, it's written that way since all rolls are supposed to be done one by one but are gathered together for expediency. Basically it's reroll all wound rolls of 1

Really? 25pts per model? What makes you say that? I mean, optionally diverse Tau Crisis Battlesuits have different costs for various equipment. Don't get me wrong, it would be great if our Warriors stay on 25, I'm just curios about the source.

[icetyrant]

Wait. I can have 1 DS, 1 BS and 1 VC for every 3 Warriors? Not 2 DS an 1 BS or VC as previously?
I get people don't like BS - but it has 36" range.

[garg]

From the person in the Tyranid discord who is giving out the majority of leaks. I think the consensus is that he had legit information.

[jemminids]

Might be a bit early to tell, without knowing what lash whip keyword unlocks, but at this stage is there a reason to take melee items other than dual boneswords? I’d love to have more varied melee builds than that, mixing in some talons and claws, but I’m not sure why you’d go anything other than bs/gun, or quad bs.
