Yeah, not a fan of the new guards. The warriors look the exact same to me, but I do like the Prime.

From the pics they do look like they’re bigger than the old models anyway, I haven’t actually seen a size comparison yet though so could be wrong

I can’t say it’s been confirmed unfortunately. But I can say there’s a VERY good reason to believe it will be so. It won’t work like the 4th edition though and convey EW to other units, It’s just the synapse creatures themselves. As for the Bat-Rep yah, really wish it showed a normal functioning 40k game not Escalation but, hey gotta advertise those supplements I guess.

Is EW confirmed? The Battle Report didn’t give a good indication as Tau have a surprising lack of ID and Monstrous Creatures aren’t the best thing to demonstrate..

True… I almost wanted to start an Ork Kill Team, then I saw the Codex on a shelf, and… *sigh*

They also seem to come with A LOT of bits, Enough to equip all (!) ranged weapon options and all (!) close combat options on the three models.

Similar to the Space Marine Centurions box. There’ll be a lot of bits, probably as much as 50% of the bitz in the box, you won’t use, if you just build 3 Guards with one type of weapons.

From what the rumors say the Codex doesn’t seem much different but there are some SERIOUS improvements: Synapse creatures have EW, Tyranids now have a fast and powerful MC (Crone) too deal with those pesky shooting armies, MC points decrease and may even be able to take different options (if in a brood), Exocrine allows insane shooting potential (add with a Tyrannofex and we got serious firepower). Overall I think these are good changes. That’s without Warlord Traits and Psychic Powers which seem promising. I Hope this eases your tension good sir :p

Yeah. The worst bit? Hormagaunts and Termagants have BOTH become Direct Only – the 10 strong boxes have been phased out – only the online brood now. This means FLGS can’t order them in anymore…I really want to see the Codex though. I have a bad feeling about this small release…
