That is extremely metal. Love it.

Neurotyrant and the Psychophage look fantastic. The psychophage much better than I thought it would from the trailer, I was expecting something slower looking. Screamer-killer is also a beaut. I'm not so sold on the Neurogaunts but rippers look better here than they did in that one glimpse we had before. Overall great looking set of models for the nids.

Another tyranid shot, also they said this would be the Tyranids Combat Patrol

I WANT ALL OF THEM!

Not wild about the neurogaunts …seems they are adding in kits for things they could just be upgrading old models for. 
 

Rippers are very cute. Screamer Killer…I would have like the claws to be a bit bigger…but then I remember that the main reason for magnetising several of my larger Nids was so that they could be removed to get anywhere near the enemy…building…etc

[BadgersinHills]

They are beautiful!! 

[Zoatibix]

Full box shot. 
 

So more models than just the combat patrol.

Particulary like the new Screamer Killer (and that it won't replace the current Fexes), and the Neurotyrant, will be getting those for sure once they're sold separate.

 

Wasn't expecting a new siege unit, I hope this doesn't mean biovores will be stuck with their old resin model for longer.

[Marshal Loss]

That Neurotyrant is awesome, absolutely love it.

[Fire Golem]

Love all of these, really excellent models. I’m hoping SMs popularity will mean there’ll be some nid halves floating around. 

[Zoatibix]

I like the new big monsters. 
 

Not keen on the new smaller things…they’re just adding in new units that we already have stuff for. 
 

For example, have rippers so what will Neurogaunts do that they couldn’t have made Rippers do?

 

Are Barbiegaunts going to get rules that really could have worked between Bio and Pyrovores?

 

I think in a way being a Xenos only player has gotten me used to small model ranges, but most of them having some usability. Whereas over in AOS I am annoyed by my Stormcast’s bloated list of warscrolls.

Spelling

[Malakithe]

Yeah what is the role for Neurogaunts and what do they do?

[Zoatibix]

They leap in the way of enemy shooting apparently.

 

So why not make that a thing Rippers do?

 

I mean the Neurogaunts models look better in the official shots but Rippers are much cuter.

Again with the spelling

That screamer killer is absolutely beautiful. New aesthetic but absolutely a nod to the original. Brilliant move Gw

The new box is a fantastic set  Though to be honest, I'm not looking at this as the next big box I buy, but as the next 40k Partworks Magazine Subscription I'll be getting 

[Nephaston]

Article says neurogants also serve as a relay, so they likely interact with the synapse rule more directly, probably boosting range. Also I guess they serve as a squad to join other Neuro-units to keep them safe, since joining is back.

[Special Officer Doofy]

Tyranids are getting some cool models. I like the carnifex more than the screamer killer though (don't like it's head/face) and the venom crawler looking thing looks a bit weird to me. But I got to figure Tyranid fans out there are loving it. Should be easy to get their hands on that half from all the marine players selling the Tyranid half.

[frankendoodle65]

Everything in the Tyranid side is perfect or close to it, I can convert the few bits I don't love. 

I also love the new terminators and characters, Primaris are meh so I'll probably sell them off. 

 

Any speculation on price for the box? I'm definitely buying it if it's under £200.

I wonder if it wiggles it's bum before it charges, like a cat.

[Kastor Krieg]

Neurotyrant and the Screamerfex are absolute winners of the box. Especially the fex, damn what a come back of a unit I've started 40k with so long ago!

[Valkyrion]

That psychophage is like a naked Venomcrawler.

[sockwithaticket]

Everything looks fantastic, I can appreciate players' concerns over the new smaller models that they aren't particularly necessary for the roster and have been created at the expense of updating other units.
