Tyranids: The Return of 4th Edition Biomorphs


Back in 3rd edition I bought a Tyranid army that ended up never leaving the box. I eventually traded it with a friend for something else, as by the time I got back into Tyranids, things had changed. Biomorphs were big back then, and even little hive nodes on gaunts were possible.

These rumors show a possible return to these days, which makes look forward to seeing just how the Tyranid codex will look when it arrives in January.


Please remember that these are rumors.

Look for a return of many biomorphs in a big way, led by available model options.
Several plastic models had access to many biomorphs with modeling options in 4th, and those parts are currently cosmetic.

The feeling is that the biomorph options were curtailed much too strongly in the current book and if there is a modeling option for it in a plastic kit, it will have rules in the next codex. I'm looking at you Carnifex (and others)!
