As its from Natfka, not the most reliable but sounds plausible as Zoanthrope kit is off GW site and not getting restocked according to customer services.

Regarding week 3 Tyranid wave 2:

The box kit for tyranids coming out next weekend is a Venomthrope-Zoanthrope dual kit that will come with 3 models. ...there is a new zoanthrope character upgrade called a Neurothrope, which very much sounds like the old Doom of Malanti. it comes with a spirit leech -warp charge 1, that targets an enemy unit within 18". Leadership check on 3d6 or suffer a wound by each point the test was failed with no armour or cover saves. Each wound also adds 1 to your dice pool for Warp Blasts.


So that would give us the following bugs for the three weeks of Tyranid Wave 2:

Week 1
Maleceptor,Toxicrene

Week 2
Tyrannocyte, Sporocyst, Mucolid Spore Cluster

Week 3
Zoanthrope, Venomthrope, Neurothrope (renamed Doom)
