I noticed at the bottom of that release announcement was a series of "not available in X/Y/Z" caveats for most of their releases. maybe the apparent delay for the stand alone releases of this stuff was in part due to GW trying to get product worldwide and struggling/having to prioritise the mainstream stuff?

It's one sprue. Are they seriously going to put that one sprue in a box all by itself? They'd have to put at least two in, right? And why couldn't they include it with a bigger KT terrain release?

At least Down Under get their toys on time even if they have to pay extra. Here in Japan we pay extra, and get them late anyways.

M.

Yeah, lot of US-based delays this time around.

I'm going to buy so many of the Soulshackle version of this though in order to build a Rogue Trader bridge.

If it's in with a bigger release then I would have to buy a load of corridors I don't need to get it.

Individual sprue availability is good.

Granted, the pricing will probably be bad.

When are we likely to get the prices for these from an indie? Wednesday or Thursday?

Killzone Upgrade: Shadowvaults and Killzone: Gallowdark aren't on the price sheet, so they seem to be direct only and not available to third party sellers, which means we shouldn't get their prices until the actual preorders on Saturday

I think it's more surprise they didn't wait until the end of the season and then release the different individual sprues from each box in a single set.

nah, its better that they're separate. If anyone decides to skip a book, they can also skip the terrain (each terrain gubbins set is for a specific campaign book's missions)

And indeed, Soulshackle gubbins set is going to sell like hotcakes! Those panels can serve many a project..

I'm very torn over Soulshackle, I really like both new teams (I've not got the Drukhari so it's weak upgrade sprue is less of an issue), I've every book so far and the new terrain is excellent. However a third set of the Gallowdark terrain and board is totally redundant.

Even for playing Boarding Actions you only need 2 sets so why supply a third? I was really hoping we'd get something based on one of the Xenos ships that make up the hulk. Then you'd have Boarding Actions amount of both over the 4 boxes. I know functionally it would have been the same but that's true of a lot of terrain. A different look at least allows for a different story.

Plus I have every box so far, missing one at this point seems off.

I really like that they give you the option to decide how many duplicates of the terrain you want. Collectors will get the whole season no matter what, but the rest of us can pick the parts we prefer and leave the rest out. Season 3 is less than 6 months away..

Three dimensions! Multiple floors!

Multifloors thing is interesting.

Soulshackle cardboard floor seems to come with a new graphic, at least on one side if not both, featuring a staircase descending downwards..

Multilevel maps or at least some new objective scoring tasks incoming

That's the stuff! Such mod-u-lar-it-y!

And, not gonna lie, it was the first thing I thought of when someone mentioned multiple levels.

We’re all doing a cracking job

Into the Dark terrain set & Shadowvaults gubbins set are indeed looking to be direct only. I hope the Shadowvaults gubbins dont sell out too fast.

I'm positive at some point we'll see something for KT that uses 4 sets of the terrain. Probably in the end of season annual.

Warcom article about the dark Eldar in soulshackle calls the unit a “hand of the archon” rather than anything to do with trueborn.
Seem to be a hand-picked specialist squad trusted to do important jobs unsupervised.
Got the usual set of melee types, exotic ranged types, and an almost-medic.

Some interesting goodies in there, especially the note that this Kill Team in the box is supposed to specifically be the Hand of Lady Aurelia Malys.

Since for some daft reason we have a whole separate thread for just Arbites, here's the article that I had posted in there.

I believe this thread dropped from the recent threads page for such a long time, it went awol and peeps just opened a new thread

Looking forward to picking up some of the proto wrack heads for my all haemonculus army

More right arm splinter pistol. Because apparently the right arms splinter pistol they gave you in almost all Dark Eldar kits, including the base Kabalite warrior one, weren't enough.

A very disappointing sprue. The new heads aren't very exciting, and a rifle on a sling isn't really necessary when the exisiting sprue already has loose weapons on it. A crouching set of legs like the Tau got would have been nice.

I'm somewhat underwhelmed with the amount and variety of stuff on this "packed" sprue, but there are at least a few interesting bits. I like the "Archsybarite" (why isn't it Dracon?) and the dude with pet Razorwing.

I'll probably pick one kit just for them (and some more Kabalites).

So the Soulshackle rules are adding breachable walls (with breakaway wall sections) to the game. Oh and a way to block a hatch from one side.

That terrain is great.

The two cleavers wielded by the Flayer specialist being called "Pain sculptors" is a chef's kiss moment of some primo Dark Eldar edgelord nonsense :-D

Tomorrow's the big day!
