Seeing the new releases coming out got me excited and will have to have them. Hopefully they'll play well. Can't wait to paint them. I'm hoping the same. As good as the new terminators are, I think I'm going to have more fun with the nids! Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 well as thats probably all we shal get til they start teasing for the new codex whats everyones general thoughts now and favourite of the new nids(just models). what are you looking forward to painting most etc? im really looking forward to painting up the neurotyrant as i think it looks class and will go amazingly with my zoans wing(will also need to get the current plastic zoans to finish that off too...) kinda hope to get a second prime at some point as i really wanna repose those limbs but am not sure i wanna risk it with the first.

ZeroWolf Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 There will be a couple of chances I think to get a second prime, aside from the obvious eBay. I'd imagine that the figure will be in one of the starter sets along with the phobos guy/ or terminator captain, and then there may be a chance when Hatchett bring out their inevitable next 40k part work. With Imperium, we got the royal warden and primaris bladeguard lieutenant in issue 1. They may just pull the same trick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankendoodle65 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think it's all great, either as is or for conversion parts. Screamer killer has a bit of a goofy head and short stubby arms, but my first thought when I saw him was the body shape is very similar to the 3rd edition Carnifex, so I'll be turning mine into Old One Eye. Neurotyrant is beautiful and weird in all the best ways. No idea what I'll do with it but there's a lot of potential. The prime is lovely apart from those awful wings, so I'll either find a better pair or just turn him into a walking prime. The Psychophage is a bit too spidery for my liking but there are some nice parts to use elsewhere - hopefully once I have it in hand I'll come up with some good ideas. Barbgaunts and termagants are beautiful as they are. The Neurogaunts are a little goofy but I'll wait until I have them in hand before making any decisions. I think I'll have a lot of fun with the leviathan box! ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing I'm looking forward to is the neurotyrant, as a fan of all things psychic. I hope it's vald as a choice in itself. I'm looking forward to painting the leapers - the photos again don't do them justice. frankendoodle65 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I've stuck all my personal photos of the Leviathan nids in a post in my blog, they might let anyone who didn't make it to WHFest see them up close.

frankendoodle65 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I'd not seen any other angles, the screamer arms look much better here! Still not sold on the face but that's an easy fix. I forgot to mention the leapers in my above post, so for the sake of completeness... Everything's great apart from the faces which should be an easy fix. Probably just remove the top teeth and mandibles, I'm thinking full tentacle face should be a big improvement for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 See the face on the Screamer Killer is one of those things I love as it harkens back to that old RT/2nd edition beauty Thanks for those photos Xenith! I quite like the Barbgaunts myself but the Neurotyrant is a standout, especially in those shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) poor quality but confrmation on gws side that this is the combat patrol formed form the nid side of the set... as for reposing, leapers ill likely keep default and the first screamer, id hapily get 3 and repose the others and keep them as pure screamers. Phsycophage, first default but id definately want to repose one flatter and like in the video have one more focused on feeding... if my terviagon conversion im planning works it may give extra ideas...

Ah cool, so we'll be able to make the combat patrol from the Leviathan set at least to be able to engage with that side of smaller gaming without needing to buy a nother combat patrol.

Brother Nathan Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Makes me wonder wether or not the nid side will be sold seperately as a patrol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 It's up in the air at the moment. Signs point to yes but I have doubts, as these also look like what we may end up in the starter sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably these parts will - the push fit shadowspear kits got released as the Start Collecting CSM kit a while back, and this seems a great source of key units.

Brother Nathan Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Ill be honest whilst i like them im not blown away to need any of them. Depending on the size my converted diamacheron will be the emmasary ot such. Iv a few lictors and biovores so may be able to just buy starter box nids and fill the gaps cheaply. Thankfully. Anyone else just not like nids doing too much of this walking on spikes thing? Surely theyd sink into the ground? I much prefer current biovores...

Iron Lord Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Is it just me, or does the biovore's gun now look more like the Epic 40K Exocrine's, than the modern Exocrine's does? The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 The lictors seem to be harking back to the original art for them, which I love: Mark Gibbons Jes Goodwin From the two pictured, I guess it'll be a 2 or 3 model kit, maybe with the neurolictor as a separate kit? I'm struggling to ID shared parts. The Pounder and Brother Nathan 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I’m all over this entire range! Such a great time to be a space bug!! Great find on the concept art Xenith, Mark Gibbons was my all time favourite GW artist. Really excited for the Norn duo, I want them both! Hopefully they’ll be in the £65-£75 price range. Anyone reckon they’ll do more with the Codex or is this everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I think they'll have more, I'd expect MPK's for the rest of the Leviathan stuff, as we see with the gaunts. I don't know if barbgaunts will even be a thing as regular gants now seem to be able to take the barb thing. The screamer killer seems ripe for a multikit carnifex redux, and I'd half expect the hive tyrant to get a new kit, the current one is what 2010 or so? Or even earlier?
