Tyranid Rumor Compilation: Rumors From the Internet



Loads of rumors are flowing throughout the internet now, and it seems evident that the battle report in this coming month's White Dwarf is against Tau, specifically against a Riptide list.

So a lot of information is flowing now, and in this bit I am going to remove the points listings that were given in these bits.

Please remember that although these say they are direct information from the White Dwarf, we should consider these as rumors, as often people can read things incorrectly or get something wrong.

Anyway, some tidbits from the batrep. Am I going to be slammed for posting points? Maybe, I'll remove them if I get asked.
Exocrine is pts points
Exocrine firing modes are large blast or 6 S7 AP2 shots.
Crone is pts points.
Harpy is pts with the TL stranglers, 25 pts cheaper.
Venomthropes are pts, 10 pts cheaper.
Trygon Prime is pts, 10 pts cheaper.
Fex and Tfex I already mentioned, but due to biomorphs it's only an estimation.

e: Flyrant with double TL devs, wings and 2 powers is pts. 30 pts cheaper than the same build right now.

Psychic Powers:
Primaris: Dominion, blessing, +6" synapse range for the caster
Catalyst - FnP for caster and unit, and another unit in 12"
Paroxysm
the Horror - Broodlord have this power
Onslaught
5. Psychic Scream - 1 charge, nova 6", each target takes 2d6+2 minus its Ld wounds without covers and armors
6. Warp Blast - 2charges, witchfire, unchanged

Bounding Leap on Hormagaunts is explained there and it gives +3" Run.
Limiting Tyranids for codex-only powers is also NOT mentioned in the magazine,
Shadow in the Warp - not much about this, because it is useless against enemy in BatRep.
Which is Tau with 6 Riptides.

Old One Eye in the report is regenerating like crazy.©
