Realization: Tyranid line nearly complete

Postby Chimera » Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:25 pm

I just realized how nearly complete the 'nid line is. The only things we're missing are:

The Parasite of Mortrex
The Doom of Malan'Tai
Mycetic Spores
Shrike wings/ST legs (the current FW wings aren't very good and lack ST legs similar to the flyrant's)
Sky-Slasher Swarms (they may keep the current FW ones since they look alright)
Harpy

Looks like a solid release bundle, all of which with the same theme. I can see the WD headline now: "Incoming: Death from Above!" I wonder where this bundle is in their release schedule? Likely post-6th ed to even out 'nid sales. Bastards. :)

If the perpetual rumours of "[Season X] of Fliers", they'd fit in for the 'Nid release of that..! 'Specially with the Harpy.

That's right, I forgot about that rumour. It'll likely be post-6th ed if the rumours about Apoc/flyers being included are true. Exciting.

Still with the current Hive Tyrant plastic kit its not hard to buy one make a swarm lord or a tyrant on foot and use these wings on modified trygon to make a good looking harpy as for the shrikes well get some gargoyle wings there the right size it be a bit pricey I admit but the remaining gargoyle could be converted to gaunts with a little work the special chars can be easily achieved with converting the standard models the only big issue is the pod.

Now don't get me wrong a official GW release would be very cool but I think so far GW covered the truly critical stuff.

I think we will see the spore come out soon enough

they usually make pretty good money on drop pod type models..

Is it wrong that eveverytime I see the word Harpy in type, I think of that Simpsons line..

"Here is your Crown, your Majesty, you are the Queen of the Harpies!!"
