Zoatibix Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I think @ZeroWolf refers to the 12” synapse range. ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicinal Carrots Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Taking 2 would allow you to give sticky synapse to 4 units from my reading. But it's still diminishing returns since you don't get another -1 to enemy checks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Sticky synapse could come in very handy. Suppose it might be overkill allowing it to be a culminative -1 for the shadow in the warp It's also more related to if the opportunity came to pick up another one of these glorious beasts from the next partwork. I said in another thread that it seemed some of the Leviathan box elements might not be worth duplicating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jscarlos18 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 The new episode of Loremasters from WH+ mentions the Norn Emissary by name. Don't know if that means it will be part of the second wave for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some artwork somewhere I think, looks very large.

I think that's just a normal Hive Tyrant, but I could be wrong. The artwork makes it look like he is hunched over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head crest is far too large to be a tyrant, and far too different from the normal blade crest to be just artistic license. It's defintely something new. Whether it represents a new kit though or just an artwork beastie remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Never saw that... looks more tyrannofex sized than tyrant... if gw makes a new model for nids by just assembling an existing kit differently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hive tyrants are fantastic but it would be nice to have something a bit more like centre piece, swarms doesn't quite cut it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Relief finally came in the form of Solblades fleets carrying Valoris and the Custodes. Valoris engaged a colossal Tyranid bioform called a Norn Emissary. The creature was tracking the psychic scent of Lord Solar, seeking to hunt him down and assassinate him. Valoris slew the beast in single combat." Nabbed from a summary on reddit.

Valkyrion Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 What was completely brand new when the Necrons were released that weren't in Indomitus? That's a terribly clunky sentence....I'm meaning would a Norn Emissary be analogous to the Void Dragon or Silent King in terms of a centrepiece kit, and are we still expecting other completely brand new kits beyond what's in the Leviathan box.

Arkhanist Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Quite a bit came out after Indomitus. (checks notes) new flayed ones new Monolith Canoptek Doomstalker Lokhust Heavy Destroyer Hexmark Destroyer Ophydian Destroyers Psychomancer Chronomancer Void Dragon Silent King plus a couple of event exclusive characters. So I'd say it's reasonable odds the 'nids are in for further additions and some unit updates post Leviathan, though not all at once.

Different circumstances, most of it was drevealed by the release of the launch box, but largely due to having accidentally uploading images of it all to the new site. There will definitely be more nids outside of leviathan, they will want to cash in on new nids players, plus do you honestly think Hormagaunts won't get a kit for example?

Brother Nathan Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Also i think an important consideration is stackability ie ability for models to get into b2b in order to actually fight. Things like hormagaunts and genestealers really struggle with due to models and bases. Certain models they have been trying to increase base sizes with the models are likely safer like warriors and fexes. Toxicrine being a very different issue...

ZeroWolf Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I'd say genestealers may not be updated the same time as the codex as they're a prime candidate for Kill Team (I think Valrak had rumours saying such?) Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, flayed ones were a killteam release right? I could see terminators with assault upgrade vs genestealers.

jimbo1701 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I think we can be relatively confident they will stick to a similar model to indomitus for the leviathan release. Nids are certainly due an update to some units and there are certainly glaring omissions to their plastic range. I would expect at least: lord of war genestealers hormagaunts pyro/biovores lictor/deathleaper shrikes Plus a couple more things from left field.

ZeroWolf Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 *shudders at the memory of Pariah Nexus and the memory of building flayed ones* But yeah, plus having genestealers vs terminators be the 2nd kill team box of the season means completely new mold stealer with the terminators getting the update sprue. I'm hoping we're going to get new lictors as well with this refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget GSC as a codex are well over a year out by the road map, so it would be very divorced from the nid release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokugawa Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Neurotyant is not really a "tyrant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Didn't really expect it to, to be fair. They've got the Screamer-Killer for the powerhouse Technically I think the implication is that the Neurotyrant is a support unit (like the Neurogaunts). The Tyranid Prime is the "leader". Also on that subject, its been said that the Prime can only join Gargoyles and Tyranid Warrior units, but I can't seem to find his datasheet anywhere?
