Xenith Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I got some more screengrabs Definitely not venomthropes, nor toxicrene but something new. Winged warrior maybe, though looks slighter than the existing ones. It has legs and feet so isnt the parasite. My money's on shrikes. New big brain bug - maybe the rumoured Norn Emissary? But could be the doom also. Screamer Killer - with a new take on scything talons. Possibly the rumoured macrofex dual kit, with macrofex, screamer killer, OOE? Then big stompy. Love the castraferrum hellfire look, bt I assume this is the rumoured ranged redemptor - it has a knee joint.

Evil Eye Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm loving what I'm seeing. I've wanted a Screamer-Killer styled "Contemptor Carnifex" for a while, and it's good to see that happen! The weird crawly tentacle things I shall tentatively call "Harvestmen" look really neat too. Winged Warrior is nice to see, I just hope it means actual Shrikes! Floaty tentacle thing looks great, I love the bony halo and his little brain friends (which one is Yumpherdinker?). Also a big fan of the designs of the gaunts, but very glad I changed my paintscheme- imagine painting over 50 of those buggers up like this...

Xenith Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Missed it the first time, but there's a biovore in the video also, or some form of energy launching artillery ar 2:24.

Reigart Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The gaunts look like they’re on a slightly larger bases. If true (which a goonhammer article mentioned), would be annoying to make our 25mm on numerous models to 28mm.

Brother Nathan Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thats a far better shot of the biovore than i could get.hoping its a dual pyrovore kit or that i can make my made ones fit. Love the phsy thing nice mix of styles in that the tenticles look venomthropy and head looks like old 1st ed zoanthrope which if i get another id be tempted to conver into something like this. You dont suppose this is that forgeworld one remade? Malenthrope? I dont think it is but trust gw? It looks class and i love my zoans only missing tge current ones atm (original 1st metal walker 3rd metal floater. Several 4th metal floaters and 1 failcast. One scratch build doom) Love the screamer. Iv been keeping my eye out for a modernised version of the screamers for a while as i dont like the current kit for them (i ztill love our fex kit) and i love my metal 3rd ed ones) this looks like what i need for screamers. Combo kit for one of tge other fex types? The tentical harvester types is something that seems what nids are missing if its what it looks like. Need something mid to go with our consumption beasts. The other things is will our forgeworls go/ get new bigs? There hasnt been anything new there for nid in.... decade? Longer? Malanthrope the last thing?

I think the Dimachaeron was a little after that - back in August 2014. The Malanthrope I believe was released for the first Anphelion Project book back in 2006.

Brother Nathan Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 ?Whats the consensus on how much will change for nids? Alot saying itll be same as necrons and everything will change but i cant see that happening. I think itll be extensive but not all. Obv gaunts all are changing but i cant see gargoyles changing. I could see warriors getting an upgrade and maby going back to elites. I could see a new tyrant kit mostly because the currrent one has been included in everything recently and size wise its starting to lack. Also swarmlord needs a glow up. Terviagon tyrannofex is still a great kit but with new gaunts will they update it? Doubt. Zoans and neuro i cant see an update. Nor guards. Stealers need akin to broodlords styles. as do lictors pyrovore biovore. Like really all our small stuff needs updated and some mid but only a few big ones afaik.

Xenith Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The things we'll get updated are the sprues from 2001 and the things still in finecast, so Termagants, hormagaunts and rippers (2001, but still hold up) Biovore, pyrovore, spore mines, lictor (all finecast) The genestealer kit is also showing it's age, despite being later at 2010 maybe, or a bit earlier? One of GW's issues with nids is that the model in general look great, and stand up to the test of time and don't look out of place on a table in 2023, so they need to add more units - as you say, the face eater thing, might be a later wave of direct digestion organism.

Evil Eye Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Genestealer kit is from 2004 I wanna say; it's 4th edition, and boy does it show with those moldlines. I actually don't hate the kit and think it's a fantastic source of conversion bits, but a refresh would be nice. I'm worried the Carnifex is in the firing line for replacement, but I really hope it stays as honestly it's a wonderful kit that does everything it needs to and looks great even today.

ZeroWolf Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Yeah the Genestealers are from the start of 4th Edition, they made a song and dance about having the feeder tentacles biomorph available to recreate some old concept art from Rogue Trader. It was surprising to see the kit in use as I thought that subsequent releases of Space Hulk might have given them new sculpts to play with.

Evil Eye Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I'm wondering if new 'stealers would be styled after the Deathwatch: Overkill box set ones that combined the old and new styles...and were never released again. Those were really nice sculpts, even if speaking for myself I'd prefer they had a single, bigger and more pronounced "spinal hump" on their backs rather than the two smaller ones.

Evil Eye Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 One big red flag- the Viragon is an existing Tyranid concept from the old 3E era trading card game, and is essentially a bio-titan sized Mawloc. I find it more likely GW would use a different/new name for a unit that has precisely nothing in common with its namesake.

ZeroWolf Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I'm 50/50 on these. On one hand, its April Fools day so but they also seem plausible, reusing the name of an old unit wouldn't be that much of a stretch for GW, especially if that's the only place in appeared. One of the bigger issues I've seen people touch upon is the fact that one of the names is already trademarked by another company (crucially though in a different field which may leave it open for a wargaming mini/toy) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/378026-new-nids-confirmed-images-thread-3042023/#findComment-5928153 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Eye Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Oooh. I like it, I love how the tentacles are sort of "hoovering" the ground to suck up any trace of biomass. Very mollusc/echinoderm in style. Also reminds me a bit of this wonderful old conversion from Bocks, one of the Warpshadow regulars (if anyone remembers that forum?)

Brother Nathan Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 1x Overlord: An imperious commander of the Necron phalanxes, the Overlord’s authority is absolute. The model comes supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. hq option, prime/ shrike?- 10x Necron Warriors: The mainstay of the Necron phalanxes, these bipedal warriors obliterate their prey with relentless volleys of atomising gauss weaponry. Each model comes supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round Base and a choice of heads and weapons. so my guess would be a squad of 10 termaagaunts(assuming its 10-30 squad sizes and sold in 10s plus rippers (indicators are that the starter rippers will be part of the squad- 3x Canoptek Scarab Swarms: Flying hordes of these insectile machines chew through armour, flesh and bone with impunity. Each swarm comes supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round Base. could just be rippers... could be hormagaunts?- 3x Skorpekh Destroyers: Swift and deadly hunters, Skorpekh Destroyers chase down their prey to carve them apart with their fearsome reaping blades. Each model comes supplied with a Citadel 50mm Round Base. options.. biovoes? shrikes? or instead of squad could be screamer killer?- 1x Canoptek Plasmacyte: A cruel and calculating manipulator of tainted energy, the Plasmacyte is capable of sending its Destroyer kin into a killing frenzy. The model comes supplied with a Citadel 28mm Round Base really wanna say lictor... oh and also importantly... Push fit plastic terrain designed to bring your tabletop to life, featuring a mixture of pipes and gothic ruins. nid terrain incoming? actually? please. ignoring forgeworlds was the last nid terrain the battle for maccarage scatter stuff?
