Work on the Carnifex player model peaked this month, allowing use to use test it's animations in-game and really judge for the first time how awesome this behemoth of class will be.  The Carnifex is living engine of destruction, the ultimate reward for high achieving Tyranid players.

Veteran Razielk has been showing us how the Imperium likes to purge the with flame, by toasting Tyranid Lictors, while clan Ordo Xenos (http://www.ordoxenos.com) demonstrate the mucho macho heavy weapons marine on the latest version of our test map.  As promised in last month's news here's my first attempt at an in-game action video, putting you into view of a Tyranid warrior in OX Alhaus's test map "bunker".  Thanks to Neurological (http://www.neuro-lab.net/) for contributing the backing track and his ongoing work helping us out with sound effects.

With most of the major models behind us the EX team will be moving on to the mapping issue, balance testing and special effects.  If you are a C++ coder, you could help us by coding weapons effects, freeing ChromeAngel up to work on the maps.

I just checked out this video, and the one from 40K - Apocalypse.
Seems like they got no gameplay, but nice maps, where this video has working gameplay and a prototype map...
