Battle for Oghram - decide the fate of a world!

[de Selby]

I can't get twitch to work so I'm relying on you guys. Everything looks cool so far, and it turns out that artwork we saw really was the Norn Emissary!

I am so happy with all of these miniatures. Rules are temporary, miniatures are longer-lasting and I hope these are around for a long time.

[Wormwoods]

Well, I'm glad one of the kits is ugly as sin to make up for all the smaller Nids looking to nice. Not super into those Nord Nerds.

[phandaal]

That Norn dude is a very busy model. Could just be the angle of the photo?

awaiting crisp photo's on the site now

Im wondering how/when they will reveal the SM stuff now

[Bradeh]

Some GW shareholder loves his 'Nids. Not even a teaser for Marines. 

[Bev'an]

New lictor genebois deathleaper and VRL’s - vanguard ambush army! Yes please!

I mean, Tyranids did win.

Let them have their one victory before the status quo of Marine rotfl-stomp returns

Hands (tentacles?) down the best range refresh since the Dark Eldar

To be fair, this is as GW promised, a reveal solely for the victor of the campaign. Can't harp on at them for following their own rules.

 

As for everything on display....glorious! Now to decide what to add to the swarm (other than a full 20 bug full unit of hormagaunts)

My prediction is GenCon.
It's the next big event and also gets the Marine models shown to the most people rather than on a Random 2pm Saturday stream.

Lovely kits but "only" 6 new kits for nids. That's a lot less than orks and necrons received. (By about half?)

Large, maybe, but a Wraithlord isn’t that big.

Take what we got in the Core and add the new stuff here.
Is that closer to the Orks/Necrons total?

 

[Matt C]

Seems like this also decided who gets their codex first also. To me just a copy a paste refresh, so many poses used in other ranges for the biovores, norn etc. Wouldn’t mind any other range refresh, but this is just…..meh

Don't forget the ones included in Leviathan though, only the Termagaunts in there were a refresh (technically the Screamer Killer was but I'll let that slide as the specific model was last seen in 1999!)

[Matrindur]

All the models they showed are amazing but is it strange that I expected more?

 

Not even counting the three units that came later via Kill Team, Necrons got 9 kits after the Launch set which where all unique and while Tyranids did get 10 units but at least two maybe three with the Lictor/Neurolictor are dual kits and the Termagant are just the multipart version of the launch set ones. So only 6 kits in the worst case.

Also Necrons got really big models with the Monolith, the Silent King and the Void Dragon.

 

While the Norn Emissary/Assimilator are great I would have wished for one more kit thats even bigger and then another elite units like Shrikes.

And since it is rumoured the Genestealer will be coming via Kill Team I wouldn't expect anymore kits from that direction.

 

Of course just to clarify I'm still very happy about what we did get

Really happy with everything we saw. I'm not super into the new 'vore models (aren't all tyranids vore models though?) but I think they're still a big upgrade on their previous incarnation. Hormagaunts and Genestealers are nothing revolutionary but good updates on the old models.

I really liked all the new stuff in the Lictor family, loving the trend of more brain focused bugs. The Norn Emissary really was the big winner for me, absolutely fab looking model. Not so hot on the alt build but that's fine. I'm not going to be von ryan's leaping into a full Tyranids army right away but I'm really looking forward to expanding on what I got with Leviathan some time in the future. Lictors, Death Leaper and Norn Emissary are definite purchases when the time comes.

But enough. Since it updated almost everything that was either ancient or finecrap.
