These videos have a specific target - people with reading disabilities or those who can't be bothered to read the rules themselves. I know they are confusingly labeled "reviews" but no, it's just a person reading every word of the text of the rules (and numbers too), occasionally adding "oh, I guess it's good" or something similar.

Which is exactly the sort of information I like to have when deciding if I need to buy a book, rather than some mook's personal opinion on the contents.

It's not that I don't like it, it's that I can read on my own, so I am not target audience.

If you compulsively buy everything GW publishes you are indeed not the target audience for reviews of any sort.

Well that sounds terrible

I love everything in that box. Night Lords are (still) spectacular, Mandrakes are a fine glow up of the metals, the terrain piece is great.

I would like the piece of terrain, though - do we think that'll get a solo release down the line?

Keep an eye on the Warcry great maw, I suppose they will share a similar fate.

Could that be the same footprint as the Fronteris landing pad? Or smaller?I guess a bit smaller. How great would it be if the large circle aligned with the large Sector Mechanicus furnace? You even got one in the previous Kill Team box...

The terrain is quite underdetailed for its size.

Teams both look good, might make their way into Necromunda campaigns I bet.

How much are KT boxen nowadays?

Oh yea I did get the last Warcry set, probably the same as that. Not much of a discount but certainly no markup.

jump packs on all of them.

Could it be that he mistakes them with Elysian Drop Troops?

Yes all of Valrak's rumours sound like someone who's never heard of Warhammer saw the upcoming release, described it best they could to someone with a passing knowledge of the setting, then this person passed their interpretation of the news on to Valrak, who has also never heard of Warhammer, and is now trying to chinese whisper himself a youtuber salary.

Wasn't a fan of the "pile of old sprues" approach when they did the big Inquisition vs Cultists box, not a fan of it now. Combined with the blandest terrain GW has ever done in HIPS this is a very skippable box for me.

(this isn't even a complaint, I'm happy to save up for a billion 30k Mechanicum launch boxes)

So separate release of Brood Brothers KT will have Coven included or is it only for that box?

A critical question considering the Coven's current price tag.

Someone said the box is decent conversion fodder for Hive Secundus, and I can kinda see that, but outside that it's the most forgettable KT box in a long time.

Everything is smut if you try hard enough and believe in yourself.

That a "flagship product" length video?

Very nice, I hope the drop-turret-servitor is included.

Looking forward to Orks vs Ogryn more tho.

I bet the Scion Jumpers will be on 28.5mm bases

At least.

0% chance that's a 25mm

What a lovely lovely box

Some of the terrain is recycled from 9th edition starters https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/08/06/new-warhammer-40000-terrain/

Which is nice in its way, means it can fit in with existing boards.

Love the barricade sprue, I hope I can get lots easily, but probably it's gonna be 1 per book/card bundle or sth.

Oh no look at that combat gauge, they're switching to some weird arabic symbols for distances now instead of the clear geometric shapes, smh

Buildings all look to be the same style but not all copies of the same building crumbled in different ways, that's a win in my book. And the one with H-beam buttresses ties in Fronteris.

Cadians need no stinkin' knee pads. As such I can appreciate the lack of straps. Makes it easier to cut them off and restore the pants to the look the Emperor intended.

Soaked.
