GW finally released models for Tyranofex and Tervigon. Now we have a size comparison :)

That is ugly even for Nid standards. It looks like a bloated pregnant Nid bursting. GW you have fail me again but I can't say for the last time undoubtedly.

Well that's exactly what a Tervigon IS. A bloated, pregnant Tyranid :)

I like the Tyrannofex.

Trygon-sized so keep the DC2 I guess.

Have been playing a bit with this list. It's incredibly tough! You can get a lot (and I mean A LOT) of 4+ and 5+ RA on the table including a lot of DC. Add to it that most if not all will be fearless and rallies from broken on a 2+ (!!!) and it's very hard to outright lose with this list. It's so overwhelming that I don't use the "no modifier when broken" in my games. I feel it's too much. Lose an assault to something that doesn't have a lot of MW in assaults? Laugh, stay in same place, rally next turn and even get some small stuff back. SURPRISE!

Seems like Zombocom has dropped out of Epic for the time being, are there any plans for another champion to pick up this list?

(if you're wondering why I'm asking others and not volunteering myself it's because I don't think I'll do a good job when I get to play something like ten games a year, total)

So now in the correct thread:

Pyrovores are rumoured to become the Tyranids AA unit in the future. Time will tell if this comes true.

Interesting.

I don't like some of the changes Dave has made that will affect this list, so I may choose to continue the list for the supplement as an offshoot that doesn't fall under the netEA umbrella.

So anyone thinking of championing this list? I'm probably a poor choice as I'm just getting back into Epic and am building up a local community for it but I'd be excited to see someone take this up.

Zombocomm is? Hopefully. Though I guess he's been busy for a long while.

I hope to see Levianthan developed and better balanced. My 'nid army are modern style and I want a modern style list to use with it.

It would be great if an Army Champion could be found.

A friend of mine is getting into Epic Nids, and he's intending to play with the Leviathan list.

To help with playtesting, we'd like to put together a representative list, which can be used against a variety of foes. Does anyone have a 3000pt list they could suggest as being 'iconic' for the Leviathan list? By this, I mean an army which best captures the image of Hivefleet Leviathan, rather than being heavily themed or tuned.

I'll ask Zombocom to do a drive-by.

Ta. I'm a bit stymied as I really don't know where to start – and I don't want to give my friend bad advice.

Initial list moved to separate thread to avoid clogging this up.

Here's the current sitrep; I've not been actively developing for Epic recently, and though I do intend to return to work on Epic: Hive in the near future, due to some serious issues I have with the structure and processes of the netERC, I will no longer be developing under the NetEA banner.

As such, I will be continuing to develop the Hive Fleet Leviathan, Genestealer Cult and Adeptus Ministorum lists for the Epic: Hive book, but will not be attempting to reconcile stats and special rules with the netEA lists.

In other words, if someone wants to develop a modern-style tyranid list under the netEA they are perfectly welcome to, but I'm not going to be doing that any more; my focus will be on making the lists and the supplement as good as possible, and not on the politics and circular arguments that have plagued the netEA list development process. If that means people chose not to use my lists, so be it.

TLDR;, I am no longer the netEA sub-champ for modern-style Tyranids, but I will be continuing to develop this list in my own direction.

Fine by me - quality will out, and I'd rather help a 'non-official' list (whatever that implies in these brave new post-GW times :p) than a non-existent one :)

Will the development still occur here? Will our playtesting help?
