The rumours from the last few months have indicated a Space Marines vs Tyranids starter box for 10th edition, with updated Terminators and a Necron-esque range refresh for Tyranids.
Seems to have borne out.

So the new marine range needs updated termies and a primaris assault marine equivalent. That would make me think blood angels would be the next featured marine chapter since they also are lacking primaris-ized characters and have been fighting a tyranid invasion of their homeworld for like 15 real world years and 200 in-universe ones.
But then that terminator has a white helmet so I guess it's probably just ultramarines. Again lol

K, I'm just going to say it. That's not a very good looking tyranid it's probably going to have some great rules being a tyranid prime but it looks like gw decided to put a tyranid head on the bat things from AOS. I'm sorry if this hurts some feelings but it's one of the first gw models models that's not a space marine that I don't like the aesthetic of.

Are you saying there are people who don't like space marines?I'm not sure I'm ready to believe that Also you know I think what is hurting this guy is the pose. Which is interesting, it kind of reminds me of how you might pose this creature back in the old days when it would have been made of metal. Despite having big wide bat wings he's huddled into his base. Which (although I agree hurts the pose from an aesthetic perspective) will actually make this a lot easier to play with than... dare I say most Tyranid models The background is the gallowdark space hulk terrain too so my theory is this model had to be tight in to fit in boarding action games.

Interesting. From the description and design, looks like this might be a pure melee unit with no ranged options. Which I guess makes sense depending on how much movement the wings gives. Why bother taking guns when you can quickly zip across the battlefield and carve things to pieces?

Two points: HippocampusExpert likes this model. Also, if you open this and this in separate tabs and flip back and forth, she does a little dance!
