Tbh, Shovels are more on the fandom's image for them. Lore-wise, their preferred melee weapons are bayonets and clubs/maces. With shovels being a desperate last-ditch weapon the same way wooden planks and improvised shivs are used. Edited: Clarified that they still use shovels, but are not their primary/preferred melee weapons still.

The new Death Korps range and the Aeldarri models in particular are fantastic, and you have to love the bonkers wolf riding gobbos. A standout for me is the new Warp Spider Phoenix Lord - that model has a great sense of dynamism and manages to convey a suitably predatory arachnid aspect in a humanoid model. For the Krieg, all the models are great - the new special character, Death Riders, the Combat Engineers (shout out to the mini remote controlled mine), and the various field artillery and heavy weapon team options; all of them look awesome.

Oh damn, ages ago I got a forge world resin squad of krieg and I got as far as primer on them. About a year or so ago a friend sent me a ziplock bag full of steel legion(to be painted as kreig) infantry and heavy weapons. I stripped the paint and ordered bases. I no longer play the game, but I do enjoy slapping a bit of contrast on models once or twice a week to chip away at my old hobby well. Those new siege guns would certainly look great in a display case, if I ever paint what I have already. Once you quit gaming in a store, or every week at a friend's, and you let your white dwarf subscription expire, the fomo urge to buy buy buy does go away. Last GW models I paid for was the cursed city boxed game.

The Marshall on his steed has a lot of details on his base. I like his laspistol aiming at unseen target while his sword is on his side. Commissar and Command Squad are quality. The Combat Engineers have the same style of the Grenadiers without their hotshot-lasguns and other special weapons. They should do a KT of them or have them as part of the DKoK elite units for WH40k.

I adore this release. I'd love to see how the Krieg cavalry compare to the Rough Riders and Admech Serberys. I also have hope that Guard will move past incentivizing heavy tank spam, and encourage more artillery, elite infantry, cavalry, and light tanks. Emphasizing basic lasweapons for the cavalry was a *great* choice. The Combat Engineers being equipped with autopistols also carry intriguing lore implications (what could be the tactical/logistical considerations?) The aeldari releases are also all bangers, as usual. The new Spider Lady diverges aesthetically a bit, from the rest of the Lords, but... she looks good enough to make up for it.

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

This is causing me a little bit of a dilemma. I've had a rocky time of 40K ever since I got back into it about 10 years ago. I'll try to keep this short. I have started many armies and not finished a single one. Cadians, Necrons, Blood Ravens, Imperial Fists, Eldar, Leagues of Votann and Tau to be specific. But What I really want is to pick a faction. To just remain loyal to one army. To have one army I can build over the next 10 years, unlike the past 10 years where I have played with bits and pieces, but never amassed any sort of army of worth. And whilst I should pick one of the armies I already have, I kind of want to pick Krieg. It's an army that I have wanted to collect ever since I first saw them as a kid. But it's also the army which I have the 1 kill team box and that is all. If I pick Krieg, I am starting a new army from scratch. And I have very limited funds at the moment, I cannot afford to start an army from scratch, especially not a horde army like Imperial Guard. Especially when I already have an Imperial Guard army in the way of my Cadians. It makes infinitely more sense to pick the army I have most of, which would be Imperial Fists, or the one which I have most completed which is Necrons. Or the ones I have done the best paint job on (Eldar) and commit to one of those armies. But my inner kid is saying, I need Krieg. And I guess maybe, whilst I can commit to Krieg with all future purchases, my Cadians can still be used as part of a larger Imperial Guard army. I'm torn.
