Not sure how this being a Nurgle-aligned possession militates against the plot point of a Gellar field failure.

Didn't say it did.

Didnthey do a year of Khorne, like half a year of Tzeentch (silver tower, tzeentch aos, daemons, and 1k sons), now its been about a year of nurgle? I expect next year will be a big splash for Slaanesh, but I guess this is the tail end of the Nurgle themed stuff.

We can only hope. Plastic Fiends (and Flesh Hounds) is something I've wanted for a long time.

So what did you mean by this?

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, sounds like a duck and looks like a duck... it's a failed Geller field!

Even you yourself said:

So is the duck you mention above actually a failed Gellar field after all or ... what?

The way I see it, your Gellar field fails and who knows what might get in - probably whatever can get in, and not necessarily one specific flavor of Chaos. I think that's reflected in the previews. It's certainly weighted toward Nurglish with the fleas and flies but the big guy with the cleaver doesn't look Nurglish at all, really.

It’s Nurgle.

Um. Why can’t it just be general Chaos with influence from all the gods? This has more the look of classic the Lost and the Damned to me than all the more recent mono-god stuff.

Because GW hates Undivided these days?

And they have hated Sisters of Battle for the last decade and more..

Well something has to bear the brunt of that hate now days. Besides, havent pretty much all options for "Undivided" except characters been removed? Like no Unaligned DPs, Furies needing a mark.

I know for now in AoS an Undivided Daemon Prince is still a generic option, but in 40k its a Character DP.

I thought the character was Chaos Ascendant, rather than Undivided. All 4 marks together, like Abaddon.

There is still a lot of Undivided CSM stuff, but the last release was the Raptors, Mutilators and Daemon engines I think. Or maybe the Helbrutes.

I remember when all the complaints were about a lack of cult options, now it’s pretty much all we have and the complaints have reversed

Late arrival to this thread, but to me this looks like a heavily pimped Space Crusade type affair.

Which is a VERY good thing, in my opinion.

I want more info and pics (since for some terrible reason I cant have it in my hands now) so badly!

Apparently at the Games Expo today it was confirmed that Rogue Trader is an expansion for the new Kill Team game with the first Kill Team releases within the next 2-3 weeks.

Expansion or starter set?

I'm here hoping for this game as an excuse for GW to make an Eldar Ranger Killteam.

Still weird that they'd make exclusive model for this game.

Make new Kill Team faction. New Kill Team faction sell well. Make Kill Team faction a Warhammer 40,000 faction.

Being an expansion to the Kill Team is good news. I hope that the models will get 40K rules as well.

His all seems the new model for GW. New box with small squads and mini game, new Minis get rules for other system, expand range to full codex.

Even a small Rogue Trader army list could be flavorful and new for 40K. I’m hoping it comes to be, and is a characterful addition.

Why?

Eldar rangers already exist, they even got a special kneeling one when released.
Eldar pirates on the other hand.....

especially as FW have all but removed corsairs

They didn’t say. Just that it was as part of Kill Team, making it sound like a series of releases. They also didn’ say released in 2-3 weeks, they said they would start talking about it on warhammer community in 2-3 weeks, so it could be a bit later than that given we have AOS2 this month

Eldar Rangers are Finecast, the special kneeling one isn't available anymore. A Kill Team game would be a perfect excuse for them to be made available in a plastic multipart kit.

Given that rogue trader has been confirmed as part of kill team, can we merge the threads again?

I'm finding this a bit disappointing actually. I've been enjoying their board games (well, since Space Hulk actually), and the idea of this being either a new unique prospect, or even a Quest-style game had me quite excited.

It was never going to be a *quest-style game. It was always touted as a skirmish game, which was the reason people were perplexed that it was announced after Kill Team. It makes sense then that Kill Team is its own rule set and that Rogue Trader occupies the same space as Kill Team--because it is Kill Team.

Well, if we're wishlisting, Kill Team would be a perfect opportunity to release small boxed teams of more uniquely styled characters and units not widely available and in dynamic poses a-la Shadespire.

Great news (at least from my perspective) that this is a Kill Team expansion as opposed to a game in its own right.

I'd been concerned about saturation in the skirmish game realm for GW.

mm, yes..if there is one thing 40k needs right now it is certainly MOAR IMPERIAL FACTONS

I can't wait for tje rogue traders myself!
Im glad they are going to work into kill team- it makes me hopeful that maybe kill team could be a test bed for a lot of new unique ideas that if they get picked up and embraced by the community could become full factions.

I'm definitely in love with tje rogue trader infantry aesthetic anyway, so Im loving that they are coming down the pipeline. But hopefully Kill team is going to give xenos factions things they love, and never dreamed of. Hopefully also introducing new factions pulled from the lore
