Doesn't look like the Taurox at all (only how the Taurox should have looked like in the first place).

It is all I hoped for an more. I can't wait to seeth spiffy new platics.

that was a really really cool trailer. Damn, just started a harlequin-eldar necromancer-DE coven army. Guess i'll have to put it on hold for a while since GC are pretty much my first true love.

Really excited for this. I hope they fix the allies matrix with the nids though....or this is going to be a massive damp squib.

Eek! My wallet!

Damn... I'm in aren't I?

A GOOD variant of the Taurox, and that makes all the difference.

And yeah, give me an hour or two and I'll figure out which WWI armored car it's based on. I know I've seen it before.

I hope we get some art of them ritually throwing themselves into spawning pools, or praying while bids are killing them, or something to that effect. Funny that they consider being devoured as ascension, because considering their biomass will be incorporated into the hive fleet it's true in a certain way.

Good to see they get a Jeep-like transport, it looks nice

That's gotta be the new limo! (especially since GW doesn't show designs that aren't models anymore)

If the limo comes back I will buy this army for sure.

Yeah, the one thing I dislike about this truck is it makes me regret going out and buying a Taurox plus a wheel conversion kit for my Arbites, since I still haven't gotten around to them yet and could have used one of these lovelies

Enjoyed that trailer - nicely done.

Will have a look to see if the fluff is any good and not too retconed - crossed fingers as its been pretty good so far,

Man I cannot wait, last week I just picked up a second copy of Overkill just so I could bulk out my collection of cult minis and I'm very excited to see an official codex coming.

I'm hoping there's some additional unit types and models beyond reusing the Overkill stuff. This really takes me back to the Rogue Trader days when I first started 40k, despite all their derpy old sculpts I've always loved the genestealers and the cult.

If they are going to stick with the mining world theme like the stuff from Overkill I hope they get some cool low tech industrial looking machinery for their vehicles. Perhaps an updated version of some of these, the FW Hades breeching drill or the mining car in Total Recall with a sweet rock crusher on the front that can be used for grinding infantry.

They've done a very very good job staying true to the old minis and fluff so far. The mining thing was a bit of a change but not a big deal.

The one slightly odd change is that they switched Neophytes and Acolytes. Previously gen 1 and 2 were Neophytes. But that's NOTHING to complain about and the trailer seems true to the old fluff. It's a very good feeling to get this, AND know that the studio is on point with this release.

Best teaser trailer GW has ever done!

I think it's based of a French or Italian one.

watching it carefully is a Humvee-Taurox

Not a major fan of GC myself but since my Renegades force is based on a mining world, this could be a very good release, a very good release indeed.

Hope there is a decent amount of non Genestealerfied soldiers or a bit of low key GC to fit them neat and snug into the mutant rabble.

The armoured car takes a lot of cues from British armoured cars like the Humber Pig and the like.

That puts the release on Halloween

Halloween release will be the Death themed Warhammer Quest set.






(GW pls.)

People have Already Meme'd the Trailer....

Ah the classic Limp Bizkit Crawling meme, the Emperor wills it.

This looks awesome, and a great new transport as well (hopefully). I will definitely get the codex, an Overkill box and a transport, to be used for Kill Team if nothing else.

I'd love to see them go full mining colony themed with a sentinel powerlifter, trukk, hades drill, and stuff like that but this video looked like it was a hive world themed GS cult. And with necromunda rumoured soon that wouldn't be so bad especially if arbiters make a come back as well.

What do LE versions usually have that standard versions don't? Haven't paid a terrible lot of attention to them.

Usually have some tactical objectives cards and markers. Some prints of artwork.

That video has me pumped! Really makes the Genestealer Cults out like a brooding existential threat and not some silly idea from the 90's.

I bought the LE version of the most recent Codex: Dark Angels. It's pretty cool, comes with the datacards for the faction, a set of metal objective tokens, and the codex itself comes with special art on the cover. The DA one also included Dataslate: Cypher, and most of the others have included some kind of extra thing like that, and the whole works comes in a nice box. To me, it's not really worth triple the normal price of the codex, though. Like someone else on this thread said, everyone has that one army that is their favorite, and that is why I went ahead and got the DA one. If you really like GSC, go ahead and get the LE version, although since you said you don't even play 40k it's probably not worth it for you. Hope that helps!

Huh? The background hasn't change that much (fortunately) - and especially at the beginning ('89/'90) Genestealers were a major threat.

I've been pinching myself at every stage of this, from Hastings' original rumors right up to now. I never thought I'd see it happen.

That truck looks similar enough to my converted ones that I can get away with running them (or at least if slightly modified).

What time do preorders usually go up?

When I ordered the LE traitors hate (set to Rest of europe) it was at 11:00 am saturday morning, which I believe is 10:00 am in the UK.

I can't load the video on my phone! Someone have a screen shot of this truck?

I best get painting my overkill set!

Looks incredible though. This is going to be my 40k army for 8th edition.
