Coming for a Terminator near you.

First! And that model is glorious, like damn those wings and just it moving to pounce.

I like that the wings are folded but I don't really like their position and angle, would have probably liked them more if the wings are in the top slot and the claws are below rather than the other way

 

But while it is a tyranid prime it has a lot of differences in his design to the current warriors so we might see new warriors?

Fabulous looking flappy boi

[Lemondish]

I honestly can't wait to see this guy in some of those amazing REDACTED hive fleet colour schemes.

The new warriors are very new, so probably not

[sockwithaticket]

That's cool, but this would've been awesome



I wonder if this might hint at a potential Shrikes kit too?

[Torvak Kyre]

I’m not too keen to be honest

 

i think putting the wings above the claws would have made a much better looking model, the way it is it feels like they’d just get in the way

[CL_Mission]

That's a great looking model. I like that they don't have their wings spread out, makes it stand out from most other winged Tyranids. The hype train for 10th has got it's rending claws stuck in me good and a lot of it's for the new 'nids even though I'm primarily a Marines collector, I could see myself painting up these guys first before adding the Marines to my army.

Oh that is rad as hell.

Not that new... they tidied the sprues and added one new sprue but are the same general model from 3rd edition

[Fire Golem]

Yeah really cool. I like winged models that don’t just have their wings stretched out. Looks better in the video than the still shot, I imagine it’s a hard pose to photograph. 

[Mr Farson]

It's alright

 

I hope its not the launch box Warlord as it will be a bit plain

Yeah, I feel like GW has been getting braver with poses that don't have a single golden angle for photography but that instead are more exciting when videoed from multiple angles or held in the hand.

This isn't a winged Hive Tyrant (Flyrant) then?

[Jscarlos18]

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED!!!!

 

In all seriousness, the model looks awesome. I need GW to update their store asap so I can buy him. 10th edition is looking to be the best year for me yet.

 

The design cues these past few models have in common between them are subtle, but noticeable. The feet have hoofs like always but with a small claw behind it, the scything talons are similar to the old ones but with a small set of plates at the base, and the carapace gets vestigial or full on chimneys. Hopefully 10th also brings us new warriors.

They are perfectly fine. Still look great and there are little to no issues with the sprues. 

[Brother Paint]

Is it me, or have they slightly changed the colours on leviathan ‘nids ? It looks more Gal vorkbak/ baraknar burgundy on the carapace than the old nagarroth! And also black claws not red.

 

could be my eyes though

Smaller, more like a winged Prime warrior.

[ZeroWolf]

I'm loving this, I'm surprised by the pose mind. Do we have rules for this fly boy yet?

[Matcap86]

That's a beefy boy. That 10th ed box is shaping up like a lovely starter.

[ZeroWolf]

A closer look at the head makes me believe that this is the nid from the very first teaser (the one with the Terminator in its eye).

It's the same aesthetic, that's not the same as it being the same models. The current kit was newly redesigned for 6th Edition which is still relatively recent in model refresh terms.

 

 

 

[Khornestar]

I am intrigued, as this is a model that can more easily be hidden by terrain compared to something like a daemon prince with wings mostly unfurled/spread.

[GenerationTerrorist]

My hype for The Tyranid part of this box is almost as much as the Marines part.

Lovely model.
