Hi!

I hope and prey they dont get too cocky and start over blowing production, we need small production runs that sell out to make epic look good!

Let's hope they learned their lessons from the E40K marketing fiasco ... :p

Definately a good sign (as long as the forcast was more that 12! - It does all depend on the forcast numbers). Even taking into account that the game will tail off, people wont play without the rules, so the more that have the rules, the more potential mini buyers out there.

Hi!

A valid point CS, if the target is very low it is easier to hit, but I suspect they may very conservatively raise that bar as each stock run is sold. As long as they dont overestimate the increase they should be fine. I'd rather epic meet low expectations than fail to reach a high one. The later means no more minis, the former means the game will be around for a long time.  :)

With Maksim doing an excellent job on the Tyranid list in the Vault (I recommend everyone give it a read through and leave their comments on it), it has stirred my enthusiasm for the bugs. But, since last edition I have been much more interested in the idea of a seeding swarm.

So, while I dont want to second-guess the progress on the main list, I wondered what the general opinion is on a Phase III Tyranid force.

I dont want to go into stats and detail like that, since I will simply follow the main force list in stats, but what differences would there be between the lists?

Not Included

As a Phase III list, I would guess that the force would be primarily smaller, infantry units. Very few, and possibly no titans, with very limited vehicles (or even probably none).

Would an Attack force have Spore Chimneys? I dont know much about the background of these, but would they be present in the initial stages of a Tyranid invasion?

Additions

I guess that there would be a load of Gaunts, Genestealers and Lictors, with similar numbers of all of the infantry, and in particular Tyranid Warriors.

Anything else that would be definately in or not in the force? Anything that there would be lots of, or few of? Any special rules to be included in the force?

Thanks.

Hi CS,

Sounds interesting. I think that we're all a little slow lately (myself included).

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Thanks. I think that I will wait for the new 40K Tyranid Codex (in a month or so), then I will get back on this. To be honest, it is an excuse to use all manner of exotic bugs from as many different manufacturers as possible (I could use a list of alternatives out there, if anyone has suggestions). I guess that there will be less armour, no war engines and lots of a huge variety of infantry. Epic - its all about the grunts!  :D

Hi Iain,

You might want to check out some of the various E-A Nid threads that I have listed that have many different types of Nid proxies listed.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
