Tja, auch wenn es bisher kaum Infos zu diesem Bild gibt, sehen mir diese Modelle doch sehr stark nach einem wirklich guten Umbau oder eben nach neuen Tyraniden aus. Anscheinend sieht man hier eine “alte” Schwarmwache im neuen Design und eine neue Version des Typs Schwarmwache mit etwas anderer Ausrüstung. Gefunden habe ich das Bild auf 40k War Zone, die es jedoch von hier haben. Die einzige Bestätigung dazu gab es vor einem Tag bei Natfka:

New Plastic Hive Guard: Not a dual kit with Tyrant guard – the box just contains 3 hive guard
There is another ranged weapon option for Hive Guard that looks like a spike with 3 talons on the end of it.
Das passt doch eigentlich gut zusammen oder? Erscheinen sollen die Tyraniden anscheinend schon zum Weihnachtsgeschäft im Dezember, weil der Drache Smaug wohl zu unförmig modelliert wurde, um verkauft werden zu können…wer’s glaubt. Hier noch eine kurze Zusammenfassung der sonstigen Gerüchtelage zu den neuen Tyraniden:

Back from Warhammer world and got myself last one Hierophant they got
But I wanted Harridan and they told me to wait 3 months and get new one in plastic!
So I think this possible also counting that Harridan now in 40K books (to be released)

Look for a return of many biomorphs in a big way, led by available model options.
Several plastic models had access to many biomorphs with modeling options in 4th, and those parts are currently cosmetic.
The feeling is that the biomorph options were curtailed much too strongly in the current book and if there is a modeling option for it in a plastic kit, it will have rules in the next codex. I’m looking at you Carnifex (and others)!

“Rippers are getting a small box like the nurglings. 3 bases. Wings included for sky slashers. Different mouth parts for weapon options.”

current GW managerial chart says that’s Smaug wasn’t good enough for the studio, so GW have had to go back to the drawing board, moving current releases forward so they don’t miss the Christmas release window, Nids moving up to Dec, dwarfs in Jan 2014.
They’ll still do the collectors releases for the hobbit, scenes from the film and such, just no new hobbit box.

“The Dominar embodies Tyranid Hive Mind completely. Within its shadow, lesser creatures bow in servitude, and larger Tyranids find greater access to the warp. It’s armored shell protects it from the most powerful weaponry. Any enemy foolish enough to close with it will find no mercy, as it’s claws and teeth rip through flesh and armor plating with ease, and within its massive body lie all manner of symbiotic organisms willing to defend their host.
The Karkanos is a lumbering, living fortress. Upon it’s back, smaller Tyranids will gather for protection, waiting for the opportune moment to strike at their foes. Bristling with weapons, it can decimate foes as they close, while it’s passengers target other enemies.
This multi-part plastic boxed set contains 84 components with which to build one Tyranid Dominar or one Karkanos. This kit contains all the weapon options available to the either creature including cluster spines, heavy venom cannons, brain leech devourers, and acid spray. This kit contains one Large Oval base. It is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.”
“The dominar has a 18″ synapse range and Shadow in the Warp range, and increases the psyker level of all Tyranid Psykers within 6″ by 1 level. Also has It will Not Die, psychic Monstrosity, IC(c) and can take most Tyranid Biomorphs. It’s bigger than the Tyrranofex model, wider with a taller stance, huge head with a massive brain under a wide plate, large mouth like the trygons. It has three rows of vents along the back plates, but the back plates come up behind the head like a turtle, offering protection.”
” the Karkanos looks like a crab. It has a wide flat body, the back plate is sunk in and has a ridge around the outer edges. It’s front set of arms can hold a few weapon options like venom cannons or devourers or can take claws or talons. Transport capacity is identical to the spore, but it cannot carry MCs. It is a dedicated transport option for the walking troops: warriors, Genestealers, hormigaunts, Termagants. Open top. Has special rules to handle being a MC and transport…not a vehicle. It’s probably one of the most expensive dedicated transports in the game. Can be taken in heavy section solo.”
