'Nids

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

So a new rumor has dropped stating that Tyranids are (possibly late this year or early next year) going to be either getting a new codex, or a White Dwarf update, and that it is going to be written by...

_{Mat Ward.}

I really hope that's just a bad rumor and Matt Ward isn't writing it, at least not by himself and he has a really tight leash.

[Soap]

They just had a codex and a full new bunch of minis. That's shocking if they do when use guard are surly next in line! ;-)

[Wraelis]

Definitely kind of weird and I really hope it's not ward. Though to be fair I think necrons came out pretty good, well, not if you count the flyers...

I feel like Tyranids could use a sort of update though. While not very old, they are still one of the weaker codexes. Dunno if they're more in need of an update than tau or Eldar though

[vegna]

i think Tau/Eldar/Dark Eldar will be the next ones, the also current rumor is that Wards off writing new codex cuz they lost sales cuz of him.

[Wraelis]

Nah, we're probably not seeing dark Eldar for a long time. They're still somewhat new. I don't know too much about it, but it never really struck me as a codex in need of a revamp.

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

I'm just terrified of the potential for derpy names for biomorphs... Like: "Tyranidfist." Oh, and of the inevitable raping of the established fluff if Ward is the one who is writing it...

[vegna]

they devoured a pacifist world which had bred living teddy bears and now the nids are expanding to spread love, peace and hugs to the universe!

mean while my guard are deploying the dogs of war! that are well known to destroy cuddly toys

Nids seem to be getting a little over shadowed lately so might not be updated and it seems far to early for the next codex rumors to be reliable.

[Wraelis]

Indeed. So here's to hoping Ward has nothing to do with it

[WestRider]

It's far enough out that a fair chunk of this is almost certainly wrong. The question is just which bits, and only time will tell.

[Ponen19]

Them getting something new in the next year will most likely happen, as will a new 'Dex in the next three. With the current release schedule/frequency, I can see a new Tyranid 'Dex by 2015. And I really don't see Ward doing it, with all the backlash from the GK and 'Cron books, GW would be idiots to let him write another. I'm almost certain someone has complained to them by now about letting Ward write it.

Take with a large helping of salt, since this is coming from an "anonymous" source, but Spikey Bits posted this in their blog today stating that we will be seeing a WD update sometime this year...
