Send me your E-mail and I'll add you to the mailing list. Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Is that a new name? Is this something in the new 40k Nid Codex? 2) How come the Nid bio-titans have been renamed? Instead of the Heirodule and Heirophant we now have the Heirophant and Htdraphant. 3) How come so few Nid Tanks? I notice that Trygons counts as Heirodule, Malefactors counts as Haruspex, and both Exocrine and Dactylis count as Expectorator. Sorry if these have been asked before. I did n't want to ask this on the official Playtest Forums in case it set off anyone about their loss of their favourite Nid unit.

I have way too many Synapse Creatures (3 apeice of Dominatrix and Harridan and about 6 Hive Tyrants), too few Gaunts/Gargoyles (about 8 & 3 stands respectively) and a bucket load of Uncommon broods (I have at least 6 of each of the 5 tank types and quite a few Carnifex and Biovores). I am going to have to quite a bit of trading to get enough Gaunts and Gargoyles to field a legal 3,000 points Nid Army. Or get a load of the 28mm Rippers to use as Raveners.

Just clapped eyes on the new Carnifex. It's bigger than a f**king Leman Russ. Must. Not. Want. Tyranid. Army. *dribble*" Meheheheh. I really don't need to start another army... _________________ death before honour.

Is this something in the new 40k Nid Codex? It is something new. Maybe... 2) How come the Nid Bio-titans have been renamed? Instead of the Heirodule and Heirophant we now have the Heirophant and Htdraphant.

That's GW hoo-ha. The fans would prefer it stayed consistent, but that's another story.

3) How come so few Nid Tanks?
I notice that Trygons counts as Heirodule, Malefactors counts as Haruspex, and both Exocrine and Dactylis count as Expectorator.

That's Jervis's decision based on the 40k comittee. I would rather have more variety.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
