GK no resculpt again. Then people wonder why my entire GK army is 3d printed. Lmfao

[@Eganize]

I prefer the old stuff, so I'm 100% fine they don't get the primaris treatment.

​@@Eganize Agreed. For me, the new releases of any 40k stuff just seem progressively lacking in flavour, and more like they're just copying Halo.

[@moreplease998]

Opposite for me. I've hated space marine proportions since I first started playing in the early 90s. The primaris and general SM releases since this update to SM aesthetics in HH and 40k are the first SMs I've ever looked at and thought "that actually looks good" CSM have had some cool models for a while but the loyalists always whiffed the aesthetics for me. Which is why I'm kinda excited for a Grey Knights reboot. Loved the lore and such around them from the start but never could bring myself to buy the awful looking things

@moreplease998 HH models are massive improvements, they look great, but the Primaris stuff is absolutely disgustingly ugly. Again, looks like something out of Halo. And then there are those vile tanks. Gross. Characterless. The GK refresh - I'll bet they all look like new Coteaz. Ugly, with all the character of a glass of water and a cheese sandwich.

[@moreplease998]

Heh. I prefer the primaris baseline style to firstborn baseline style, even with the new ones. The thing I agree on with primaris criticisms is that they need more chapter specific aesthetics. They're a bit too generic. Though GW is apparently addressing that complaint

[@coolbritannia1979]

This Grey Knight stuff sounds suss.

[@Zalviongames]

Really disappointed. Strike squads and terminators desperately need their refresh. I was also hoping for a less ugly baby carrier but I guess that wont happen unless the upgrade kit makes it look like some of the fan made 3d printed ones. It would also be nice if they got access to some more vehicles. They could let them use some primaris vehicles maybe with a grey knight upgrade kit or maybe even some heresy vehicles with an upgrade kit

[@slackeratlarge575]

New kill team season would be in the autumn, we still have a spring and summer box. 4 per season

[@OutpostConcord]

Hey Valrak hope this finds you well! Just hoping you could give a small update on the Wolves and if anything is going on with them! The lack of major psychers in the current marine lineup has been a bit rough for those like me who enjoy a little warp shenanigans (with our own custom chapters), so the wolves are the best bet on getting some despite not having -any- psychers, only rune priests, which would do in a pinch.

[@foreverfornever1124]

I guess im curious to see upgrade sprues and what that'll be for. This is the first time they've done that with GK. My guess is part of it will be for their resin land raider so GW can toss that from FW. It would also be interesting to see some new variants of the Dreadknight too. Perhaps even upgrades to the new Librarian in Terminator armor since GK dont even have a model for their unique one. For such an outdated range I think many of us probably would have just prefered a new leader, like a Librarian but oh well. Hopefully they trully do get the love next edition.

[@juan_5315]

Upgrade kit sounds like a KT, where they are releasing new models band with another band that is composed by old models with an upgrade kit.

[@vudoga6082]

I posted this in someone's comment, but to my fellow Daemons players, I think we'll know by the end of this month if our codex is getting squatted. Which would suck, but wouldn't be surprising. My theory is that we're going to have a Be'lakor specific detachment for the Grotmus Calendar that can use daemons for all 4 gods. If we do, then i think we'll know for sure the codex is going away. At that point, we basically have a Be'lakor regiment of renown, so GW will consider the situation with him handled for this edition. Then, in 11th edition, he'll go in the CSM codex. Just my thought on the matter.

[@h8yuns]

Dude, I really, *really* hope you're right about the tyranid terrain. A dedicated kill team would be great, but to have some official terrain besides the handful of old oop/insanely expensive forgeworld stuff would be fantastic.

[@WarmasterIrraz]

Doing the AoS way with daemons and mortals doesn't really make sense for 40k. I might be naive but I still hope this isn't true, because daemons have never been seperate in AoS but have been in 40k. Because I still believe we would have seen Be'lakor in CSM codex if this rumour was true.

[@vudoga6082]

I'm with you, but i think they expected there to be some blowback. We'll see what happens. All factions are getting a new detachment this month, which are going to be fully usable going forward. My thought here is that Daemons might get a Be'lakor specific detachment, and if they do, that's going to be how they handle it for this edition. If that happens and it's basically a Be'lakor RoR, i think that means the rumor is very likely true.

[@WarmasterIrraz]

@vudoga6082 They said that daemons would get one detachment for each god at the championship preview. But I guess we will just have to wait and see, the detachments they get might instead be similar to brood brothers letting the chaos daemons play god-aligned units in their army. But again we will just have to wait and see.

[@ArnauMiniatures]

i am confused as why the EC are having a chaos space marine legionares specific unit, noise marines were the equivalent to rubrics, plagues and berserkers so the base unit of each legion

[@richardloveday5761]

It is odd, I think in heresy they were a specific unit (cacophonies or something) so maybe sticking to more heresy structure for them?

[@vudoga6082]

I think they might be doing this for lore reasons. In the recent books, Noise Marines aren't the base unit. Most EC are basically Legionnaires, with Noise Marines being more of an elite unit. Unlike the other 3, where this is true. So that might be what they are doing here.

[@charlesb.1945]

Because the lore is different, not all emperors children are noise marines. They’ve always been an elite style troop

[@chrisbatchelor3759]

When the plastic cerastus kits came out, GW said somewhere (i think it was a Facebook comment) that they'd release a questotis-esque kit, with the option to build either the lancer, castigator or acheron Did the whispers say anything about that?

[@stevenray8737]

Knights don't have combat patrols or kill teams, so introducing House militia is the only sensible release for them. Adding more large Knights is only going to make things worse and players are already divided on whether they should be a faction at all. Chaos Knights, on the other hand, could be treated to a dedicated kit for the Tyrant. Happy with Horrors joining the Thousand Sons, but I wouldn't be surprised if all the Daemons got new dedicated kits for 40K. Harlequins vs Tyranids would be an excellent Kill Team expansion.

[@michaelstevens5712]

As a Mechanicus player I'd like to offer our Secutarii as a ground troop/ killteam force. Armored Skitarii that keep combatants off the feet of knights. Technically a Heresy unit, but only exists as a resin upgrade sprue for the 40k Skits.

[@DarkApostleNoek]

Questoris Knights got removed from the 40K Knights on the site, and they were part resin so them getting a full plastic one makes those rumours more likely. Be cool if Imperium and Chaos each a unique gear/ability option. The Imperium one a shield with maybe the Chaos one a teleport/deepstrike.

[@theopersson2392]

the moment he said thousand sons my brain went monkey mode neural activation😅

[@Teh_Duck]

Now this might be (very) biased since I own WE & DG but I'm kinda glad they are splintering chaos daemons, but only if they handle it right which after the Agents & DW shenanigans I'm not holding my breath for. Daemons always seemed like a weird codex to me, not just thematically but balance & model wise aswell. Let's say GW wanted to add a new leader for Khorne, well most likely they will want to add a new one for each of the other gods to keep things fair, for a while this works but after a point when does daemons just become 4 armies in a trenchcoat? I feel bad for those who own an undivided daemon army since it has been around for a while and GW just never expanded on it, they never added any undivided daemons to tie the codex together other than Bel'akor. Only 2 years ago with Vashtorr did they even try to add some unaligned daemons into the game and it seems like he is just vibing, waiting for Dark Mech to come out instead of some cool new tech daemons. I think the codex shattering is something that needs to happen, but GW let the issue go on for WAY too long and they deserve any flack they get if they botch it.

[@TheArcticMenace]

Rip Be’lakor.. hopefully he gets a pdf or something to put him in codex csm. Would be a waste to send him to legends for 40k.

They did retroactively add the Night Lords Kill Team to the CSM codex, so it does not seem unlikely for Belakor to be added as well.

In AoS if you play Blades of Khorne you have the option and support to run just oure Khornite demons if that's your preference. If they let you do that in 40k and they don't limit the number of demons you can take like they currently do then thats torally fine by me

[@Colbliashi]

Having EC legionnaires AND noise marines seems odd. T sons, Death Guard, and World Eaters don't have a flavored version of the basic troops.
