Subject: [40k Humor] New Tyranid minis! From: Tom Beliech Date: Thu, Nov 27, 1997 00:14 EST Message-id: <347D01B6.AD8@southeast.net> Some recent new Tyranid army troops are currently running through the rumormill - and some of them are FREE! Check 'em out: Nachtwurms - These are invertebrate creatures that serve the Hive Mind by burrowing through soil to find genetic material that otherwise would have been lost underground. They fight by constricting and biting with raspy mouths. You can fight the miniatures for free by checking sidewalks after a rainstorm. Grasspex - These small green creatures attack in vast swarms and can make bounding leaps like Hormagaunts. Check your yard after mowing the lawn - the miniatures will miraculously appear! Verhoevenfex - Large arachnid-like black and yellow creatures with jaws that look like large pincers. They can fight with 86% effectiveness even after losing a leg! Minis can be found at Toys R' US. Airverhoever - Similar to the Verhoevenfex, but trades much of its mass for wings and flight capability. Plasmenfartrix - Beetle-like creatures that fire massive bio-plasma balls capable of achieving escape velocity. The Tyranid version of Volcano Cannons. Also Available at Toys R' Us Tankopyrex - Similar in appearance to the Plasmenfartrix; these immense and well-armored creatures are capable of spitting a column of flammable fluids, with the effect of a heavy flamer template. Available at most toy stores. Coming soon to 40K! Tom Beliech
