Wallpaper vecchio ma sempre fico!
Passiamo alla parte più succosa per i profani. Ci sono tanti nuovi grossi alieni, ma anche piccoli e graditi ritorni. Vediamo:
I supporti leggeri guadagnano le Arpie: modelli pronti a lanciare bombe viventi. Decisamente un bel modello che fa la sua figura visiva in campo.
La Maliarda è un'altro supporto leggero che si può assemblare in alternativa all'Arpia. Il suo cannone può sparara saliva venefica. Altro bel modello visivo.
Un nuovo modello per l'Elitè arriva ad invadere il campo. Il grosso Aruspice è qualcosa di mastodontico: è un'autentica belva del corpo a corpo. Può accompagnare gli altri "ciccioni".
Gli Esocrini sono più rivolti verso il tiro a distanza, nel caso riesce anche anche a combattere discretamente. Peccato che la testa è più piccola rispetto al corpo colossale.
Nuovi modelli per le Guardie dell'Alveare.
Di conseguenza anche le Guardie del Tiranno.
Nidata di Carnifex tornano con dei modelli davvero massicci.
Tiranidi Guerrieri: personalmente preferivo i modelli precedenti.
Tornano gli Hormagaunt: non trovo differenze con i "vecchi". Ma sempre graditi!
I Termagant diventano meno statici di quello che sembrano. Forse in futuro si muoveranno :)
Siamo arrivati alla fine. Siamo sempre felici quando escono i Tiranidi, vedere un orda di alieni carnivori fa sempre molto piacere! Specialmente quando sventrano qualche land raider... hihihi!
