Ramell Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Both these and the Terminators are exactly what they should be. Same as the old, just much better. So much more detail, without losing anything of the base design.

Brother Nathan Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 nice to kknow my termagaunts arent defunct either and that different guns may actually have value on gaunts again. they are nice but not replace my army nice... likely will get a unit of each...

spessmarine Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 little anti-climactic... showing off terminators on one end, and some fodder on the other end I get that it matches their teaser, but what an odd pairing, gaunts instead of genestealers?

Brother Nathan Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 there were a fair few other nids in the vid, there was something that looked like a stealer but with talons so not sure if new stealer or hormagaunt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoatibix Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Look to be on 28mm bases from the side by side picture I have seen . I like these new sculpts. The weapon types look fairly useful, too. Edited March 23, 2023 by Zoatibix MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Knight Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 So much improvement with these. These are such a core part of the range - it will feel significantly more fresh. Tyranids are pretty fast to paint to a tabletop level. I could definitely be tempted....

Brother Nathan Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 for sure, if the starter set is how im hoping my angels and nids will grow this summer... Orange Knight 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Officer Doofy Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Happy to see the removal of the AP from their gun. GW handed that stuff out like candy on Halloween this edition. Not like I want just Tyranids to lose it, I want it toned down gamewide. Tymell, Warden-Paints, Antarius and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Commander Ajax Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I was so busy being excited for Terminators that I forgot about the Tyranids. I really like the new paint scheme too. Cant wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 seen it debated several places, what size bases do you recon these are on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa.logan Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I’m going to be a dissenting voice; I don’t like them. In their own right, they’re fantastic , but compared to the old ones, not a fan. Too characterful, maybe. Don’t like the secondary arms (too big!). I’ve built and painted loads of the old kit, both regular and easy-to-build, and still prefer it. Might be different if I get some in hand though. +EDIT -ITS THE MUSCLES. I DONT LIKE THEIR BULGING LIMBS. I MUCH PREFERED THE SKINNIER PREVIOUS ONES.

CRAZY ALIENS CAN BE STRONG WITHOUT NEEDING BICEPS ABOUT TO BURST FROM THEIR SKIN+ I can see your point as the limbs look a bit "orky". If you look at just the limbs they seem a bit weird but I think overall they will look really good on the table top once bunched up. They would stand out a bit more than their previous model. Im hyped to see the how the rest of the line turns out, especially the lictor! aa.logan 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 The slight upslant to the back, and the extra curve to the tail, gives it a stronger "dinosaur" vibe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 28mm judging from the comparison shot . But it looks a bit weird as they have photoshopped the models in rather than putting the physical models next to each other. I doubt they will introduce specific base sizes at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Love them. Those reveals make me want to start Tyranids and Seraphon. I must focus on what I already have. Starting anything new would be a disaster. I just hope there are enough alternate Termagant poses to make them look suitably varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 It’s funny, when I first saw them without the comparison shot I was like ‘oh they’re basically the same, maybe a bit more detailed, cool’ but seeing them next to the old one like that is a really stark difference. I’m glad they’re not much different, just a better detailed version of the same design. Looking forward to the rest! potatocrusader and Mostwanted 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat as you... well I admit I am a tad more hyped for Seraphon, the lizardmen on dinos really sparked my interest, they just got them soo right! Looking at the termagants they don't seem to have the ball socket anymore and searching for seam lines kinda reveals they are pretty much "push fit" but the good thing is their posses don't stand out too much, they are more generic so when bunched up they shouldn't look too similar. The main problem for me with newer models that don't have customization or poseability is that they are also in a very dynamic specific pose, which looks cool by itself but doesn't translate to looking good when you have a large squad of repeat models doing very noticeable posses. Hopefully we get lots of options and the releases have tamer posses :) Magos Takatus and Lazarine 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Those Saurus Cavalry always looked dreadful in my opinion, these new models blow the old models out of the water, and the water out of the seabed and off into space. Absolutely lovely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
