New 40k Tyranids White Dwarf Review JAN 2014

By Rob Baer | January 9th, 2014 | Categories: Tyranids, Videos, White Dwarf

The Swarm descends, are you ready?

Tyranids will be releasing this weekend, and I’m sure you’ve heard this and that about the new codex as the internet is on fire right now with rumors both good and bad.

Sure some people are dissing this new release already, but lets be honest everyone said the Tau and Eldar were bad on release too…

So let’s all try to take a collective breath here and look at some pretty pictures for now!

Again the White Dwarf was about 150 pages, 1/3 of which was new releases for the new Tyranid Releases and the Hobbit.  

For me the highlight of the book was the “Pacific Rim” styled battle report (Riptides vs. Tyranid Monsterous Creatures) and the Paint Splatter section.

Oh and checkout this hot Iron Warriors Fire Raptor!

That’s about it for me guys, I got tons of Holiday sale orders to help pack up still (ps if you haven’t taken advantage of our new used merchandise super store check it out!)
So accept my apologies for another brief article this time and enjoy the video below for a more comprehensive look at this issue and the new expansions, which are now all on advanced order and will release Saturday January 11th. -MBG
