Nice one Maksim.
Am sure it will have been a load off your mind to get that out. Hope it is well received by Epic community.
Cheers
James

Great. Found them! It looks like the Warriors are pretty much unchanged. I am happy with that. (Picture DCSN0313 on the 'Atlanta' link.)
I preferred the 'Alien' Hive Tyrant though, but if they change the Carnifex then I will be happy. The Zoanthrope looks better witgh every evolution, and I love the new one, the Lictor doesnt really change much at all, and I still like the original Genestealers the best - where are the claws?_________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

I have just seen the Warriors at the bottom of the same page - sixth one up from the very bottom. Very similar to the previous versions.

They're making em a variable weapon fit according to the WD. Rending claws and razor sharp claws were on the models they featured.
It's what the feeder tentacles do that's intriging me. Suddenly, yer genestealer looks like a messed up mind flayer...

Yes, similarities to certain Futurama characters has been noted. But, the GS claws are just not the same. I want the three claws like the old version!

Ooo. New White Dwarf. "Broodlord"s have been added to yer HQ choices, so you can take these instead of Tyrants or Warriors to run the show. Looks like a bigger, more peeved off Genestealer in a rearing back roaring type pose.
And the Cults aren't in the new book.

Nice word filter. Don't see the word "peeved" often enough these days.

Hi Maksim
Found it hard to keep up with the flurry of posts on Nids Playtest Section of SG Epic Forums as I am mostly following the AMTL list at the moment.
From what I could see though you are already up to version 5.30 in no time at all. When do you think the Nid list will start to settle down with changes every few weeks rather than on daily basis?
When that happens I'll ask you to forward me a copy of the list in Word format so that my friends and I can try to playtest.
Cheers
James

Hi James,
I think that v5.30 will probably be around for awhile.
Send me your E-mail and I'll add you to the mailing list.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Just did a quick run through of points of my potential Nid army, ignoring anything fancy. I have way too many Synapse Creatures (3 apeice of Dominatrix and Harridan and about 6 Hive Tyrants), too few Gaunts/Gargoyles (about 8 & 3 stands respectively) and a bucket load of Uncommon broods (I have at least 6 of each of the 5 tank types and quite a few Carnifex and Biovores).
I am going to have to quite a bit of trading to get enough Gaunts and Gargoyles to field a legal 3,000 points Nid Army. Or get a load of the 28mm Rippers to use as Raveners.
Cheers
James

Just had a text from a mate who's one of the Trolls over at GW HQ:
"Oh my F**KING GOD. Just clapped eyes on the new Carnifex. It's bigger than a f**king Leman Russ. Must. Not. Want. Tyranid. Army. *dribble*"
Meheheheh. I really don't need to start another army...

Hi James,
1) Why is the artillery piece called the Expectorator? Is that a new name?
Is this something in the new 40k Nid Codex? |
It is something new. Maybe...
2) How come the Nid Bio-titans have been renamed?
Instead of the Heirodule and Heirophant we now have the Heirophant and Htdraphant. |
That's GW hoo-ha. The fans would prefer it stayed consistent, but that's another story.
3) How come so few Nid Tanks?
I notice that Trygons counts as Heirodule, Malefactors counts as Haruspex, and both Exocrine and Dactylis count as Expectorator.
That's Jervis's decision based on the 40k comittee. I would rather have more variety.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
