Regarding week 3 Tyranid wave 2:
The box kit for tyranids coming out next weekend is a Venomthrope-Zoanthrope dual kit that will come with 3 models. …there is a new zoanthrope character upgrade called a Neurothrope, which very much sounds like the old Doom of Malanti. it comes with a spirit leech -warp charge 1, that targets an enemy unit within 18″. Leadership check on 3d6 or suffer a wound by each point the test was failed with no armour or cover saves. Each wound also adds 1 to your dice pool for Warp Blasts.
So that would give us the following bugs for the three weeks of Tyranid Wave 2:
Week 1
Maleceptor,Toxicrene
Week 2
Tyrannocyte, Sporocyst, Mucolid Spore Cluster
– New “BIG BUG” – Larger than Tervigon sized HQ unit. Oval base, hunched over, but wider.
– Mycetic Spore is coming with the new Tyranid release
– Plastic combo-kit that makes the Spore and another large bug.
– Plastic Zoanthrope combo kits – makes 3 models.
