Which does Brohammer use? The BRB or the BRRB (Big Russell Rulebook)?

Hey, I love the toxicrene, and will be getting one Fo Sho (hell, I bought the bomber didn't I? Good luck seeing the TABLE, ya dumb IDIOT bomber!). Also, Russel, I owe you wild riders. Ordering on Friday (payday).

Yeah, looking at the pics for the 80th time and I really like the model. There's that one pic where it's dwarfing those Dire Avengers that sold me. Does the BRRB say anything about adding 30 points to this thing to give it a 12" move and fleet?

good news, there's a guy on Faeit who's seen pictures of the next WD (not this coming weekend, but NEXT weekend) that shows the BA and Tyranid campaign box. He's never played tyranids, so he says, and I quote, "there is a big model with claws, I think its a broodlord, unless I got that confused with a Lictor, but its on a dreadnought base, so 40mm, about double the size of the 28mm bases of the shooty gaunts, the hormagants"
So, you know, REAL solid info here. We're obviously getting a new synapse carnifex on a 40mm dreadnought base, and they're changing infantry bases to 28mm across the entire game system starting mid November. Can't wait.
NO SALT HERE

Yeah, that guy sounds like a winner.
Either way, I think it's probably inevitable that we'll get a box with BA and a campaign-y book or something. More formations is cool with me.
However, I do think we might only get a handful as we probably have more formations than any race in the game right now.
I'm thinking a Haruspex Lance: Take 3 Broods of Haruspexes and 12 Warriors. As long as all 12 Warriors are alive, the Haruspexes gain +1" movement.

I don't think the Stormclaw campaign had formations, did it? Just a cool narrative, and two special characters - one for Orks and one for SW. Following that pattern, we're likely to get some neat singular character model, whether that's a prime or a snap-fit tyrant, or what. Some have said it might be the resurgance of the DoM or Parasite, with rules to be included in normal games. We'll see in a week or so!

I hear the nids strategy section in the new campaign book is about how to optimally take your models off the table.

"And watch out for the Toxicrenes poison sting! We made sure to make him extra unwieldy, so when removing him from the table, stay well clear of his Baneblade-sized spread of tentacles or you'll drop him and have to buy another. Wink!"

Link is up on GW - the 360 does the toxcrene more justice...but the maleceptor just looks worse somehow. Not a fan of that model or the paint scheme. Reminds me of just another Mattel action figure toy - the claws don't even look like they fit to the base, like it was a 3rd party model glued to a base to proxy. BORING.
But I'm for sure getting a Crene. Or two. Should be extra fun for the Battle for Macragge in December!!
