Holy crap the new ymgarl heads are insane. I need a box immediately for my GSC.
What a reveal, and you just KNOW the marine one is going to be just as nuts.
I'm so pumped
Edit: the new biovore is epiccccccccc. Holy smokes that's amazing.

I had been planning to sell off my bugs. Now it's a case of: a) nobody will want the old sculpts, and b) I really like the new ones.

they're... they're so beautiful ðŸ˜
I especially love that they seem to be leaning into the BUG aspect. My least favourite aspect of nids has always been that half of the range looks more like weird flesh gorillas than insects

So the Emmissary seems to be some sort of amped up HIve Tyrant/Swarm Lord but is geared toward murdering characters. Ten to one you get CP for killing characters and it has at least one anti-character attack with devastating wounds. Kind of like the T.Vault Time's Arrow.
Meanwhile the Assimilator seems to be an anti-superheavy/monster/vehicle critter. The toxinjector harpoons pinning the enemy is a bit of a wut for me since with the 'Big Guns' rule, vehicles aren't neutered if they get into combat (can still shoot to some degree etc). Maybe hitting with the harpoons gives the thing buffers to it's melee attacks since the target is locked in place.

Well not letting something fall back from combat would be pretty great, especially if you pin something shooty that can't really fight you back. Assimilator might have some special rules for taking on big stuff (a definite issue in the current index)
The lictors / deathleaper already give a CP for killing characters so I think the Neurolictor will do something similar plus psychic powers. I think the Emmissary will be a monster with psychic attacks, an invul (rare for us bugs) and likely something to do with precision, or rerolling vs. characters.
