It may just be wishlisting, but everyone seems to be talking Nids for the next Dex. Then Orks, IG, and SW, in some order.

I've heard that there are pics that have been leaked of 'nids, but didn't feel like trolling through 40+ pages on BoLS to find them...

The only one I've seen is a box of new Hive Guard/Tyrant Guard, which is either legit, or someone went to a LOT of work in photoshop. There's also apparently a picture of some Tyranid Warriors in the Stronghold Assault book that have details that don't match the current kits.

Yeah it's the Warriors that people were buzzing about today, and I finally saw a pic of them. Looks like some different variants on bone swords, and biomorph bits have been added to the kit. Everyone is going "ZOMG they look so different!!11oneONE1!!" The main bodies and heads look exactly the same (IIRC from building some Warriors years ago), it's just the arms that have been tweaked a bit.

The leg joints are different, too, and the carapaces have been tweaked a little. But it looks like they've kept the same general look, which I'm happy about, because I really like the current Warrior Models. Now if only they can get Rules that don't suck.

More Nid pictures just leaked: imgur.com/a/L7WerDual-kit Flyer, dual-kit big Gribbly, new Warriors (including a Prime). Looking pretty cool, now it's just a matter of whether the Rules for them suck or not

Double post: Some of the new Tyranid stuff is rumored to be old, old units from Epic that are being brought into 40K... Follow the link below. Spikey Bits.

Yeah, Haruspex (with the tentacle face) and Exocrine (the Über-Biovore) are how I heard it.

Wait... I just saw something that indicates we may be seeing plastic Steel Legion minis... They look just like the old metal ones, and people are speculating that GW has recast them in plastic, or that they may be snap-fit. Legit or hoax--what say y'all?

I bet they're Snap-Fit, because that's the worst of both worlds.

I've got a feeling that's a hoax: five men and one is a sergeant while the others don't look like medics or comms guys nor holding special weapons makes me think these are neither a full squad or a command squad and thus don't fit the codex.
of course.. I could be terribly wrong!
DOUBLE POST (Sort of)
Just saw the new vid on GW's site .. looks very much like Tyranids will be coming to play. (lets hope they get the much needed rules to go with their awesome model range) (and it would be nice if they make a codex that allowed people to play functioning armies that somewhere resemble their existing collections - unlike the massive carnifex nerf they did last time round!).

hoax, as dangerrod said the 40k logo is aimed at the camera yet the "miniatures" at the bottom left is sloped away. it also doesnt seem like the models are angled right for either of the tag or like a normal GWS model box which normally has some background/terrain. sorry to put a downer out

Saw on another forum that they are simply reversed pictures of the originals. Definitely photoshop work.

the next big thing should be a brand spanking flashy new Guard codex in March! In which they're going to make the orders list a chart we have to roll on at the beginning of each turn to see what orders our officers can issue, Vets will become Elites again, every one of our vehicles will go up in price by 10~50 points per model, the cost of heavy weapons will be doubled, and Ogryns, Ratlings, and the Leman Russ Punisher will all still suck. On the plus side, they'll probably give us some sort of air superiority fighter, a micro-Titan, and a few more gimmicky Russ and artillery variants.

On the plus side, they'll probably give us some sort of air superiority fighter, a micro-Titan, and a few more gimmicky Russ and artillery variants. Actually, the way things are going, I could see us getting quite a large points decrease for our vehicles (it would sell more kits after-all) and if anything the platoon will/should get a major overhaul As for heavy/special weapons teams, it would be nice to see them outside platoon. Veterans is an odd one if they move them back to Elites, then stormtroopers will be even more useless than they are now Ogryns and Ratlings desperately need more options to have special weapons or even heavy weapons The rumours currently circulating are saying we'll be getting some sort of mini-super-heavy, something around the size of the Macharius/Malcador Although a night Titan would be pretty cool!

If they manage to increase the points of the valkyrie / vendetta to something a little more fair, or maybe dropped it to AV11, that'd be nice (I would be more willing to field one if I knew I wouldn't suffer a horrible 'guilty of cheese' feeling).
I feel that the current IG book is standing up very well to the newer released dex's and I would rather they left it alone!
Especially given that we can ally to other IG army lists.
I'd much rather see a supplement for catachan or steel legion.
