Okay, it took an afternoon and lots of Google translate, but here is what I've got.
I did my best and I want to say this is pretty darn accurate, translated from the
PDf of the German Preview that is availalbe. -- Originally I was not going to really
post this up many places, but I noticed that another prewview translation is running
about and, in my opinion, it is less accurate. There are a number of differences
from what I translated personally and what the other says, I thought I'd post up
mine. I made NO assumptions, nor did I use ANY rumors to support or apply anything.
This is 100% translated from the preview. It was for my own personal use, so there
are notes with thoughts or uncertainties where applicable. I tried to be very
accurate with many of the rules that seemed to have weird wordings or specified
certain things, and believe this is pretty darn close. Enjoy. ~Anonylos

~Rules and such

Devourers - If at least one wound comes from devourer, unit is at a -1 ld for the
moral test if they have to make one due to 25% losses from shooting.
Saurezlyte - Tyrannofex default flamer, place narrow-end within 12" of base, foosh,
Hellhound style.

Venom cannons - -1 on Vehicle damage chart, maybe some further stipulation on pen
vs. glance
Bone swords - Power weapons, wounds caused need leadership test, if failed removed
immediately. Wording is differnt than instant death, not italicized either like
usual for rulebook rules, may not be actual "instant death," but simply model is
removed/etc. Pairs of swords cause test to be taken on 3d6.

Claws and fags - Model is considered to be equipped with a melee weapon (base
attacks).
Scything Talons - One pair = reroll 1s to hit. Two pair = Reroll all misses.
Crushing Claws - D3 extra close combat attacks, but must be at init1 (or all attacks
go at init1, not sure.)
Tentacle Whips - Each model in base contact with a model with tentacle whips fights
at init1 untilt he end of each combat phase, regardless of their actual iniative
value.
Rending claws - Give rending, woo!
Adrenal Glands - Furious Assault
Wings - Count as jump infantry.
Injectors - Instant death on a to-wound roll of 6, regardless of toughness (aka,
even if it could not wound normally, a 6 causes instant death.)
Regeneration - Roll d6 for each wound lost at the start of turn, regain wound for
each 6 rolled.
Toxic Blood - For each wound suffered by the model with toxic blood, the entire unit
that caused the wound must take an iniative test. For each failed test, one wound
with no armor or cover saves allowed is taken, and these wounds count towards combat
resolution. Vehicles are glanced on a 4+. Daaaamn. (Pyrovores come with, Tyrants,
Tervigons, and Broodlords may purchase.)
Toxic Miasma - At the end of each player's turn, each enemy non-vehicle in base
contact with a tyranid with Toxic Miasma must take a toughness test or suffer a
wound. Armor saves may be taken, but not cover (außer deckungswurfe).)
Toxin Sacs - Counts as having poison 4+ weapon, as per the 40k rulebook.

Tyranids5EPreviewEnglish.txt
Instinctive Behavior:
Moral test at start of movement phase, if passed can act as normal, if fail, must
act as per the unit's instinctive behavior type, lurk or feed.
Lurk - Cannot move in the movement phase nor can make an assault move in the assault
phase. Must shoot at the closest enemy unit in the shooting phase. If there are no
enemies in line of sight or within range, unit will run towards the nearest cover.
If in cover, will do nothing.
Feed - Will be subject to the Rage special rule in the rulebook, and may not fire
any ranged weaponry. May run, but must run towards closest unit, as per Rage rule.

Tyranids5 E Preview English

  • 1. Tyranids5EPreviewEnglish.txt Okay, it took an afternoon and lots of Google translate, but here is what I've got. I did my best and I want to say this is pretty darn accurate, translated from the PDf of the German Preview that is availalbe. -- Originally I was not going to really post this up many places, but I noticed that another prewview translation is running about and, in my opinion, it is less accurate. There are a number of differences from what I translated personally and what the other says, I thought I'd post up mine. I made NO assumptions, nor did I use ANY rumors to support or apply anything. This is 100% translated from the preview. It was for my own personal use, so there are notes with thoughts or uncertainties where applicable. I tried to be very accurate with many of the rules that seemed to have weird wordings or specified certain things, and believe this is pretty darn close. Enjoy. ~Anonylos ~Rules and such Devourers - If at least one wound comes from devourer, unit is at a -1 ld for the moral test if they have to make one due to 25% losses from shooting. Saurezlyte - Tyrannofex default flamer, place narrow-end within 12" of base, foosh, Hellhound style. Venom cannons - -1 on Vehicle damage chart, maybe some further stipulation on pen vs. glance Bone swords - Power weapons, wounds caused need leadership test, if failed removed immediately. Wording is differnt than instant death, not italicized either like usual for rulebook rules, may not be actual "instant death," but simply model is removed/etc. Pairs of swords cause test to be taken on 3d6. Claws and fags - Model is considered to be equipped with a melee weapon (base attacks). Scything Talons - One pair = reroll 1s to hit. Two pair = Reroll all misses. Crushing Claws - D3 extra close combat attacks, but must be at init1 (or all attacks go at init1, not sure.) Tentacle Whips - Each model in base contact with a model with tentacle whips fights at init1 untilt he end of each combat phase, regardless of their actual iniative value. Rending claws - Give rending, woo! Adrenal Glands - Furious Assault Wings - Count as jump infantry. Injectors - Instant death on a to-wound roll of 6, regardless of toughness (aka, even if it could not wound normally, a 6 causes instant death.) Regeneration - Roll d6 for each wound lost at the start of turn, regain wound for each 6 rolled. Toxic Blood - For each wound suffered by the model with toxic blood, the entire unit that caused the wound must take an iniative test.
