Expansion on this stuff;
As mentioned earlier, Gargoyles are not Troops, and Commissar Merces said so in a later post.1. Synapse gives eternal warrior
2. Gargoyles are troops.
3. Trygons (primes), Carnifex, Hive Tyrant, Tyrannofex, Venomthropes have significant point decreases
4. Zoanthropes come with Psychic Scream, and warp blast as standard
5. Brain leach devourers no longer strength 6
6. The Crone has a massive vector strike
7. Tervigon, Warriors, gene stealers have significant price increases
8. No Doom, Parasite, Spore pod.
9. The big cannon bug has two different firing modes, one being a D3 Large Blast and one being multiple high strength, low AP shooting attacks.
10. Hungry eyes bug has the ability to magna grapple vehicles and enemy troops.
Psychic powers
Psychic Powers:
Primaris: Dominion, blessing, +6" synapse range for the caster
Catalyst - FnP for caster and unit, and another unit in 12"
Paroxysm
the Horror - Broodlord have this power
Onslaught
5. Psychic Scream - 1 charge, nova 6", each target takes 2d6+2 minus its Ld wounds without covers and armors
6. Warp Blast - 2charges, witchfire, unchanged
Will have access to BRB powers.
1) Synapse apparently DOES give Eternal Warrior = HOLY SH*T.
2) Zoanthropes coming with Psychic Scream and Warp Blast means they must be ML2 base.
3) Brain Leech Devourers not being S6 (I assume S5 then) makes sense, sadly.
4) Warriors and Genestealers increasing a lot in points doesn't fit with earlier rumours, hopefully it is wrong.
5) So the large blast shot from the Exocrine is D3 shots....which makes sense.
6) Haruspex having a 'magna grapple' makes sense, and is simply AWESOME.
7) Still have BRB powers - I didn't believe it, but even if BL Devourers drop to S5, the Flying Hive Tyrant managed to get better (ML2 Biomancy, not just two powers for one use per turn) mostly because of the big points drop.

Take THAT Grey Knights!!! (sorry... got some unresolved nightmare from my FLGS buddies)
So are Warriors still synapse? Then it would means they have eternal warriors by default????

Tyranids are my favourite 40K army, and I'm a tired, excitable lad currently.
Some clarifications from the horses' mouth;
1) Warriors are indeed the same bast cost/profile. Toxin Sacs are now 3 points per model, Flesh Hooks are available at 4 points per model (pretty much guaranteed they are assault grenades now).
2) Devilgants are 8 points per model (2 points cheaper per model). However, Termagants now pay 2 points per model for both Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs. This probably means Gargoyles and Hormagaunts also pay 2 points per model for them (kind of annoying).
3) Old One Eye is 220 points now (40 point drop, about the same drop as a Carnifex).
