That's why 40k needs an even smaller scaled game like Underworlds.

Good excuse to make small sets of unique groups of models to fight each other.

I'd love a loxatl almost as much as I'd love actual Rak'Gol models.

Something like Kill Team maybe?

Kill team, but with unique sculpts/themes like Warcry, so warbands like the mixed adventurers from Blackstone Fortress could fit easily.

So basically not Kill Team or WarCry or Blackstone Fortress?

Day 5 - Ah we already know what this one is

I guess GW makes so much stuff these days they can't keep track of it all anymore themselves.

Indeed.

This one was easy.

It's one of those, but it's not that particular one. Corners are different

Funny thing is we'd all be screaming Idoneth otherwise.

That's...something.
IF the Mystery Warband is for Bonespittaz, that could be them.

Doesn't really match any space wolf pelt, or the look of the updated grot wolf riders.

Ooooooooooooh, I think I know what it is!

Knights-Zephyros for Stormcast all are 'imbued' with a shard of power from a giant Godbeast wolf that Sigmar slew. They have wolf iconography on them for that reason.

I think some of the releases we are getting are jumbled up compared to where GW wanted them to be. So some promotional stuff made earlier might be being pushed out now. EG the new warcry books are clearly coming earlier than expected because its forcing GW to tip their hand and show off the new slaanesh early when its clear that they were originally going to be a big Christmas Surprise.

It's likely many elements linked to what GW can produce; what they've stocks of; what's getting through from China as well as what isn't getting through the system and what is being put off. So chances are they are in a little jumble which will lead to minor things like this. Hopefully once the new edition and christmas bundle and christmas period are over GW will be able to have a more settled start to 2021; plus with the hope of lockdowns and covid safe restrictions in the workplace having a chance of ending in 2021 with vaccines going out.

Are those a Chamber, or a...erm....Chapter equivalent the proper name of I can’t remember.

Nah, they're like captains or lieutenants for the ranger stormcasts. They've got one model, in the form of Neave Blacktalon. She's the one who fought the Plaguebearer on a Snail.

Ahh, gotcha.

Though that reminds me...got two issues of Conquest with the exclusive Stormcast on order.

Hopefully they’ll arrive this week.

"Knights" are not a Chamber. They're part of the Chamber command equivalents. There's a number of different Knights, all effectively 'minor heroes'.

Venator, Zephyros, Azyros, Questor, Heraldor, Vexillus, and Incantor. Zephyros' only model currently is Naeve Blacktalon and one of the biggest 'mehs' of the Vanguard range that the Zephyros and Venators are supposed to be a part of. There's a few of us who love the Vanguard who have been pushing for a Lord-Aquilor on foot and a Zephyros that's actually intended to be a ranged assassin and we've seen what looks like parts of those in the form of those arrows.

Day 7

Neat. An ecclesiarch's mighty stick!

Yeah. Some kinda ecclesiarchal mace.

Bottom bit looks like a connection point, possibly to a machine of some kind?

Or it's the box power weapons have

That’s a possibility.

Ecclesiarchy themed wave for Sisters seems more likely.

Hmm, this, yes. Mace and the power armour/bionic leg might go together. A Missionary, maybe? With the tome/scroll on a Preacher.
My hope though is a plastic Crusader kit with weapon options.

the I isn't the Inquistion I, but the ecclesiarchy I, so that should stop your hopes

We've seen the Ecclesiarchy symbol used with Hereticus inquisitors before (they're the ordo that deals with matters of ecclesiarchical doctrine, after all) and it would be nice to see them get a stock upgrade of the main Inquisition staples so they're not in their half new plastic / half finecast limbo state... but yeah, this is most likely something coming in a new wave of sisters stuff - possibly a palatine weapon or even a priest.

Isn't Greyfax Ordo Hereticus? I think we're missing Ordo Malleus in plastic, but the other Ordos have new models

Never get your hopes up for Inquisition. . .

Church or SoBs.

Greyfax is an ordo hereticus inquisitor in the same way that Marneus Calgar is space marine chapter master: yes she can counts-as in a pinch, but she's an iconic character with gear the generic equivalent doesn't have access to.

As it stands inquisitors are largely kitbash mandatory, and while I'd prefer they stay that way, it's a gap GW will eventually identify and if they ever *do* make a kit for them it'll mean they've been nailed down enough that we don't have to worry about entire loadouts being invalidated between editions.
