Earlier today, the third Rising Leviathan dataslate went up for pre-orders. Like the other two, it consists of 5 new formations to add to the series reaching a total of 15 new formations for Tyranids to exploit. With the last one being relatively popular with Tyranid players, the formations in this series really add to the flexibility of what Tyranids can put on the tabletop.
The above pic is a released image from the interactive dataslate sample available for free download on itunes.
The Dataslate is available now for pre-orders.
