New Tyranid? Escalation and Stronghold Assault For Events
Its hard to say if there is anything new in this picture released by Games Workshop for the Throne of Skulls. The place to look for us under the stormraven in the center of the picture. also of note, Harridans are shown here, and new fortifications out of Stronghold Assault, clearly showing that both Escalation and Stronghold Assault are mostly likely being used for this event.

I got an email from GW today about upcoming events, and each event had a background photo. The 40K throne of skulls in march next year (I think), had tyranids vs blood angels, and the tyranid forces had a harridan. Which means anyone in doubt about whether or not the escalation and stronghold assault expansions will be used in events, or just be like other expansions (eg planetstrike and cities of death). So yes both of the new expansions will be used, thus bringing apocalypse to regular games of 40K.
