Tyr-anuary
Some leaks of the new toys coming our way in the new year.
Exocrine
Crone
Harpy
Haruspex
Gribbly bits
Warrior Prime?
Tyrant Guard
New Warriors
Personally I am liking most of what I am seeing, though I am sure the prices will knock some of the sheen off them.

Re: Tyr-anuary
The nids are starting to look a little too cartoon-bad-guy for my tastes. They don't need the downward sloping brows and maniacal grins - they're supposed to be devoid of feeling. Bugs, y'know? I appreciate there has always been an element of this (eg in stealers) but I prefer the rather more soulless look, for example on the FW malanthrope.

eh, y'know. Stuff, and things
Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

Re: Tyr-anuary
Downward sloping brow? Check
Maniacal grin? Check
I think a large part of the cartoony look is the paint job. Put a golden daemon winner on the job, make them a bit more icky and gribbly with drool and oozing bits and I'm pretty confident that the models will look aces.
...I'm not a GD winner, so my Nids will look naff. Sorry.

Re: Tyr-anuary
Where's Ripley?
I like the crone, harpy and Haruspex.
but the Exorine, umm... is that some kind of perverse artistic allusion?

The Haruspex looks like a dog that ate a bubblegum.
