Yeah, the next Kill Team box is a little late as it is, but even if it shows up in Sunday's pre-order announcement, Nova still happens before the box's release. GW isn't going to want to draw attention away from that.

This is a pretty juicy nugget. To me, this strongly suggests some of the later boxes will have alien ship internals, rather than human ones!
Strange new amalgams sounds to me like there will be visible alien design cues but the terrain still has enough Imperial look to it that it's aesthetically compatible with the first set of terrain.
Makes me think it would be good to get both Imperial, Xenos and in between terrain so you can have either, or, or both with a nice transition between them on the board.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!
Why is the rum always gone?

Seems likely! We have 4 boxes. One Imperial, one transition, one xenos and ...? for box 4.
Article up today about the breachers. Nothing particularly exciting, but they talk a bit about Battlefleet: Gothic. Makes me wonder if that might be the next specialist game to return, and the Gallowdark arc is something of a tie-in.
One can dream...

Two transitions, maybe? One more clearly Imperial, the other leaning heavier in the Xenos direction?

If the theme as suggested in that article is pre-Imperial, I'm not sure we should expect Tyranids or Tau.
I have to wonder if it's going to be another chance to show something new instead of a known Xenos race, like they did with Blackstone Fortress and the drones.

My choice for the next expansion would be some major ship part, and old combat bridge, gun deck or reactor room. Something to combine together with the corridors to start having a Kill team boarding action.

I would love it if they managed to avoid retreading both genestealers and be-tentacled chaos cruft.
Bio-organic monstrosities are feeling a bit tired.

The recent video talking about the Gallowdark also was implying that the Space Hulk had differently themed ships from other factions, which I’m kind of hoping is a tease for different terrain.
I've been playing around with my Octarius Terrain the last few days, it certainly could be used as the inside of an ork ship with the bulkheads, tanks, water/void tight doors on the terrain (they just don't move like the new doors).
My hobby instagram account: @the_shroud_of_vigilance My Shroud of Vigilance Hobby update blog for me detailed updates and lore on the faction:

If we get a Hive ship board in one of the expansions, you almost could play Advanced Space Crusade / Tyranid Attack in KT21. Rules for both Scouts and Tyranid Warriors exist, as well as rules for Purestrain Genestealers (and Broodcoven obvs).
The new campaign system for IttD might already have some familar aspects of that system, who knows... Oh man, ASC was such an awesome game..
As for this "Roadmap" — Thanks for nothing, GW. It's not as if we didn't already know this season will have four boxes..

"The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems"
Same as they did for Warcry, hopefully Gallowfall is about blowing it, by overloading various war engines of it's component vessels.
Soul shackle could be an option for Daemon, Necron or Dark eldar teams (perhaps Dark mechanicus).
They do keep emphasising that there is a story running through it, so I'd assume that there's an Imperial team in each box with Storm Troopers being the guys sent into the Shadowvaults to reclaim it after the Breachers have located, secured and restored atmosphere to the route in.
Finding whatever is in Soulshackle, we'd then be talking Grey Knights or Inquisition.
"In 972.M41, a daemon warband was banished to the Immaterium by the Grey Knights for crimes against the Imperium. These daemons promptly escaped from the Warp to the space hulk Gallowdark. Today, still hunted by the Ordo Malleus, they survive as agents of Chaos. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can bind them....maybe you can enter into a blasphemous pact with The Undivided-Team."

lol... theyre special wargear is corrugated steel shields and jeeps that always flip.
schoon wrote: I'd guess that each of the 4 sets will have its own flavor of terrain, related to one of the two factions in the box.
Tyranids would seem obvious for one...
The terrain is all going to fit together though, so it won’t be too crazy different.
One big set split into four basically I’d assume. Maybe wall variants and that sort of thing.
Some actual different ships in the Hulk would be very cool though, but I just don’t see them doing it.
Nice to have names of boxes though it doesn’t tell us much.
