I could help you out there. I have more boxes than I'll "actually" need. Although in saying that I can picture trying to field a giant invasion of just gaunts. |
That would be cool.
Let me know if there is any Epic/other stuff you re after in return.
Cheers
James

The Nid sprues have:
2 termagants (10 points each)
1 hormagaunt (15 points)
1 Gargoyle (20)
1 Nid Warrior (3/150)
1 Lictor (1/150)
1 genestealer (8/200)
That's 185 points per sprue.
They are half-sprues, so I would expect them to be 4 per box instead of 2 per box as the other races' infantry have been. That's $5/sprue in the US.
There is some confusion over whether Lictors should be based singly or 2-4 per base. If you use multiple on each base, decrese the points/spure accordingly.
=========
Personally, I'm hoping they will re-tool the spures just enouhg to include Raveners instead of Lictors, but I think the chances of that are actually pretty slim.

I'll be happy if they release ANY sprues, retooled or not!

I agree, the sprues will 99% probability be exactly the same. Like the other re-releases

Hi!
I'm SOOO happy I bought tyranid infantry by the cartload when it came out. Its the most difficult of all infantry to get since there arent the vast stockpiles out in the market like other armies.
Even when Epic 40k tanked and tyranids were being "given away" infantry sprues were not all that plentiful.

I didn't think they were going to do new 'Nids, just re-release the SM2/E40K stuff ?!?!  Hell, we don't even know if their F/Ork Infantry is new !!

That's all I ever bought, also. One little box with only 5 sprues. Makes me wish i had bought more at the time, but then I again I say that for just about all epic minis!

No doubt. I should have dropped a couple hundred bucks when infantry sprues were $3.50 each and Slaanesh scout titans could be had for $3.00.

What I regret the most about not getting are things like that were released for AT/SM1 like the Eldar knights, the original Imperial knights and all the various classes of robots and dreadnoughts.

Funny, I do not regret the "normal stuff" like troops. I regret things that I kept saying, I get this late because I need some more tanks/troops/etc.
I wish I had picked up at least one of the Marine Drop Ships (big ugly block one), a Psi-itan, some more of the Gatling Gun from the First metal Warlord, stuff like that. Items I did not need right away so I sat on them too long.
