New Tyranid Designs

Hey warhammer 40k fans, there are new Tyranid designs for the Tyrant, Lictor, Ripper swarm, etc., how do feel on their design, personally I preferred the Xenomorph-alien queen design of the old Hive tyrants, those if fitted with wings, resembled dragons.

enjoy.

The myriad xenos bioforms all look the same to me, fit only to be exterminated in cleansing fire!

No Pity! No Remorse! No Fear!

On topic, those are pretty nice, for xenos abominations.

yes, Mon-keigh we agree, when facing the mostrosities, deploy starcannon, clouds of monofiliment, and firedragon meltas

oh and when are you Mon-keigh ever going to learn always wear your helmets...

The new Carnifex is a lot better than the previous incarnation. Multiple options on the sprue and loks like it could actually do some damage.

New Carnifex looks good, and according to the local GW staff it's going to be bigger than a rhino.

Also according to the staff an people who have gotten a sneak peak there's going to be a whole new dimension of beard growing.

Shit like 9 carnifexes in an army, or a hive tyrant being able to spew out 12 St6 twin linked shots per turn.

It's bad enough they can get into close combat by turn 2, but to be outshot by a Tyranid army?!?

Man, the day they gave guns to a Carnifex was bad enough....

They gave guns to Carnifexes?

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2005-05-02 06:30pm

yup

I guess I can no longer complain about HOW the carnifex assualted my jetbike....

YESSSSSSSSSS! If only I was employed, I'd so preorder the codex.

My bad. I said 9 carnifexes in an army. It's actually just 6. Apparently it's due to the costs of geno morphs and weapons. If it costs above X ppoints it's Elite, below X points heavy Support, or something like that. Like some space marines can have 6 dreadnaughts.

Unfortunately, this has more to do with the game itself rather than the universe, so off to Gaming you go!

Have a very nice day.

So they have models for ravenors and gaunts... When are they going to come out with a swarm of rampaging eisenhorns?

I'm sure someone could make a Zoanthrope-based conversion.

Mmm, nice Carnifex; I'm impressed by the level of variation they've included in the kit.
