They didn't even send out an e-mail about it. GW knows the mini rulebook is more exciting than this Nid release.
And yeah, I knew that model looked dumb. Those ScyTals are so generic and obviously pulled from any other MC kit. Not modeled as a complete piece whatsoever.
I thought GW was a modeling company. This is a poor showing.

Jeff, I didn't realize you were going as an angry internet nerd for Halloween.

Jeff, I didn't realize you were going as an angry internet nerd for Halloween. Short on imagination this year apparently. Plus, it's the most popular costume among 40k players this year!

In all seriousness, think about it like this: all the space marines weapons are identical, duh. How much could they change and still make it recognizable as the scything talons? I guess what I'm trying to say is lighten up, Francis.

Yeah stop hating on scything talons, and focus on hating the weird crown of vents that surround the torso instead of having rows of them like the other MCs.
And lets hate the stupid connector from the back of the hips to the back of the torso. Stupid spinal cord connector thing.
Also lets hate the bowling ball torso - why no neck? Why no separate head? I want that head on a gillion other models but can't now.
Hate hate hate. Can't wait to build and paint this guy!

Sure, you can have spores back.... we'll just double the cost.
In utter fairness, they are so, so much better under these rules, and function as more than just a delivery system (whether you want to pay for more or not is up to you).
AAAAHAHAHAHA Just saw you can upgrade to FIVE barbed stranglers. Hilarious.
May have to build up those spore... err... Tyranocyte conversions I had planned after all.

In all fairness to the Maleceptor, the crown of guns on top of these things looks absolutely retarded.

Oh god, someone on Facebook just realized you can put Tyrannocytes in Tyrannocytes in Tyrannocytes, etc...

BAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAA.
Yes. Russian Doll Nids, attack!!!
Although... why? It's... a wall, I guess.
Not crazy about the model myself, either... I guess the floaty-bit makes sense as it can move now, but... seems a little awkward. Shrug.
Let's be real - will this be enough to help Tyranids not horribly, absolutely suck so hard?

Hey, Nids don't suck at all. They're mid-tier at worst, but you're finding a handful of Nid players in top 10 and 20 at tournaments. They just have a ton of useless units and are pretty mono-build, but that's the case with a lot of armies, especially those without access to ready allies. The pod is going to help Nids quite a bit, and actually brings some utility to things like Haruspexes and even motherfucking Pyrovores. Unfortunately, Maleceptor Goebbels is still a giant turd without any real use in any list.
Rumors are continuing that this is a tri-build kit with two different gun-platform things.
