Ya but The style of the CSM was Still that “Single Figure” style that all the 6th ed codiceshave. I’m inclined to believe we’ll have a towering ‘Fex or a Warrior they seem to be the main icons of the race

I’m 100% positive this is fake first of it’s from 4chan second I don’t think tyranid need any new IDC ( The Idea is cool and a prime model would be nice though), and 3rd that codex looks totally photo shopped and does not match the art style (unless it’s a cover sleeve for the Limited Edition but I don’t buy it)

Worth noting: every Codex in 6th edition has had art from Raymond Swanland (at least as far as I can tell). The art from Catechism of Hate appears to be from an artist named Jon Sullivan, so it doesn’t follow the pattern.

Also, the cover doesn’t have a Carnifex in prominent view, like every other Tyranid Codex.

So, all in all, I think you’re right, Zweischneid.

Yeah. That’s not pretty.

I still wouldn’t want Tyranids to share with you in that fate (even though I’m not a Nid-player… so far )

It annoys me to no end, let me tell you. Everyone else gets pretty new art, I got freaking Henry Zhou’s Blood Gorgons cover. Not impressed.

To be fair, the CSM codex has recycling black library art on it as well (Blood Gorgons iirc).
