For anyone interested; the Dark Imperium boxset is a better value then I thought. I expected it to contain a paperback rulebook like the past Starter Set boxes; however, I watched the Twitch stream yesterday and they said it has the full hardback rulebook in it. If you look at the community page as well it shows the hardback book as well. Dark Imperium is $160, while the rulebook would be $60 by itself. You get ~800 points for both factions for just about $100.  |

So question on wargear...
Do you *have* to buy everything that the model comes with stock (such as the tail options for some MC's), or is everything considered optional (within common-sense reasoning, eg; Nids require two sets of arms)?

Everything that the model is equipped with has to be purchased. Everything. Otherwise there are way too many arguments for what counts as common sense to have/not have.

The only way you can avoid paying for wargear it default comes with is if you replace it with another piece of wargear the model can take, at which point you only pay for the swapped weapon.

So Tzaangors are just outright better than cultists, probably better than the poxwalkers. They have a 5++ save now as opposed to the nothing save they have in 7th. 3+ WS and -1 AP with two attacks each for 7ppm. You guys, beastmans might be good.

I still think poxwalkers win - they get that 5+ save vs every point of damage not just the to wound roll - so if a lascannon does 3 wounds to a tzaangor and a poxwalker the tzaangor gets 1 5+ save before the damage roll but the poxwalker gets a 5+ save against each of the 3 points of damage.

That actually makes the tzaangor better as they only need to make one 5+ save to live instead of three 5+ saves to live. The pox walkers are only more durable against mortal wounds with this save.
So buy Nick's bestigors

Hive Tyrant - Talons, Heavy Venom Cannon, Adrenal Glands
Tyranid Prime - Deathspitter, Lashwhip/Bonesword (would like to swap to boneswords probably)
Brood Lord
Hive Guard x3 (impaler cannons)
Warriors x5 - Deathspitters, Talons
Genestealers x12
Hormagaunts x30 - Adrenal Glands
Termagants x30 - 20 Devourers, 10 Fleshborers
Shrikes x5 - Spinefists, Flesh Hooks, Boneswords, Adrenals
Gargoyles x20
Harpy - Heavy Venom Cannons (not sure if this is classed as FA or a Flyer)
Biovore x3
Trygon

With the full rules for all the factions being leaked, it feels a little silly that they're still doing faction focus articles on the Warhammer Community page.
