Blood Ravens make the Great Wolf very nervous. Though as a wolf who knows too much, being tricked to attack in the first place.....
Exactly a hive or tendril is much easier to make up than jumping through the hoops of making a chapter or Craftworld.
This is really dependent on how they plan to explain the high presence of nids on a planet without the presence of a fleet. I'm guessing they will try to say the fleet was already destroyed and the ones we fight are only remnants. Thats not to say that adding in a new fleet is impossible but im guessing they will use a fleet that has already met its end. There are a number of minor fleets besides the big three that would work for this. Personally i prefer the colors of Behemoth(left) and Eumenides(right).
My 40k sense of direction may be skewed, but I think Arkhona is on the wrong side of the galaxy for Behemoth. Although I've always liked their colors...
In the news letter we can see that no records have shown that the hive fleets have reached this planet. I have a feeling that this is either an ancient tyranid hive or a man made clone army. XD either way they probably all ready know what race it will be. By the look of the half colored tyrannies it looks laviathin. If I spelled that right. Sorry if I didn't.
Thanks for mentioning that, I missed the colored pic earlier. I'm guessing your right and its leviathan. This would also help keeping the time frame vague as leviathan is still attacking as of the newest lore.
Yeah sorry for the spelling I wasn't quit sure. But yes I am sure it is planned and I am positive it will be good. The team is working closely with games workshop so I'm sure it will be cannon.
