Gallowfall hitting preorder in the next few weeks according to WHC's latest article:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/04/24/into-the-dark-to-gallowfall-what-happened-during-this-season-of-kill-team/

I was kind of expecting to see Gallowfall hit preorders next week, but seems I was wrong. So season 3 will already be revealed before Gallowfall arrives.. Guessing GW is not expecting the new season reveals to cannibalize on any Gallowfall sales? I mean, most of the playerbase are probably stocked on the Gallowdark terrain already.. The new gubbins look tasty tho!

They may want to release it together with the next warcry box that will get shown off this weekend but still strange

I wants my Votann Kill Team and I didn't get any other Gallowdark terrain so this'll suit real nice.

The Votann team and the escape pods are the big draw for me, but any extra gallowdark terrain is great for adding extra shelves to display cases.
Just build a properly sized U, put it on your shelf, then place a sheet of acrylic or glass on top. Won't fit vehicles or a full army, of course, but it's great for showing off a pair of kill teams and is very stackable.

Has anyone noticed that the Gallowdark flooring has been seen in a lot of promo picts by now, and AFAIK even shown with alternate paintjobs, hinting at the possibility of plastic floortiles (say, when Season 2 wraps up?)

A poster on B&C mentioned that it's a board used for the WH+ Battle Reports (don't have WH+ myself, so can't check).

No indication that this will become a retail product, but I sure hope so. The only "real" link is the fact that the loose grille
elements from the Void War Bases have the same look..

It's the same board that was photographed for the cardboard boards in the Gallowdark boxes. I assume it's a one off built for the box boards using some parts from the base designs to help tie it all together. I don't think it will be made into a retail product but it would be nice.

Maybe they'll do it - the Zone Mortalis base plate is a thing, so i can be done in an economically feasible way, but with GW you never know.

Speaking of the Zone Mortalis: Floor Tile Set, has anyone tried or seen if the Gallowdark walls slot into those floors like the ZM walls and columns?

Can't say if they do (though that would surprise me), but I was planning to "adjust" them till they did.

Love the ZM stuff. Like some elements of GD, and it shouldn't be too crazy to combine them.

Gallowfall might even hit preorder next week, take a look at this:
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/04/27/patch-up-your-wounded-and-abandon-ship-with-new-kill-team-terrain-in-gallowfall/

"Very soon" eh?

But what is even more interesting is the flooring in these picts. I don't recall seeing these kinds of vents on the floor before? This again hints at the possibility of the floor tiling becoming its own plastic kit. I've seen this supposedly "scratch built/one off" flooring in two distinct colour schemes by now, and now we even see a version with these vents in it??

The two sets of terrain are not compatible, as they use different section spacings and are different heights.

That said, all plastic terrain is compatible if you get a hacksaw and/or evergreen polystyrene involved.

If you use the ZM short- and long-wall dimensions and cut the GD stuff to fit, it all works out pretty well.

Some hobby skills needed for this though.

In the Monday article they said a few weeks so at least not next week

Wait, tables with wheels? On a ship?

Maybe its just the angle but why those mini drop pods look like they are not wide enough to even fit a Votann?

Better comparison, he might fit without the armour

They're not designed for them, just something found on the hulk and originally meant for regular humans. Gotta lose that armour to squeeze in there

Do we think they are able to be separated from the support bases? I’d like to see some of these used planet side, but the hull brackets would be out of place for escape pods no longer on ship.

I think the clamps are separate pieces. Just a gut feeling though.

All the silver bits under the red pod look like they can be cast as a single piece. There are no undercuts with different alignment there, even on the clamps.

At a guess I'd say it'll be pod front, pod back, and base. If the little thrusters on the sides have vents, they'd have to be separate as well.


Edit: Technically front and back don't have to be separate. You'd get a solid chunk of plastic if they're not. I have no experience with recent GW terrain, so I have no idea if they'd do that over a hollow core like they normally do.

Servo-skull drop pods, enough room for a full squad

There was a launched escape pod released as part of an objective pack a few years ago. Shame they discontinued it.

They don't seem to fit Beastmen either. Like any good Imperial technology, even escape pods are designed to further the eradication of mutants and abhumans. As they should.

As I understand it, the 'savior pods' are literally last chance 'vacuum lifeboats' when abandoning ship. You squeeze in there when there's no chance to get to a shuttle, or a drop pod, or a pressurized space suit. They are tiny because they are literally never supposed to be used unless the ship is entirely fethed. So no one wants to make them take up more room or more resources than absolutely necessary. It's the difference between a bed and an emergency sleeping bag. I suspect a Votann (or a beastman) could fit in one if they weren't wearing rigid armor and squished their limbs tightly to their sides (and then, the beastman's horns would stop the pod from closing).

Very soon isn't soon enough.


I like the look of the randomised terrain which is nice.

So what are your hopes for tomorrow's reveal? I would like to see some AdMech or GSC or Nids teams.

A season of jungle terrain battles. Enough with imperial ruins, please, let us have more natural terrain for a change. Nids would be cool in this environment as well as Eldar Exodites. A jungle maiden world infiltrated be hive fleet vanguard organisms, maybe?

The previous KT edition's Rogue Trader expansion, that introduced the Starstriders, had some of these included as terrain, also with front/back plate that could optionally be left off to show the interior, and had a much thinner 'base'. Who knows how much they'd cost now, though.

I really like that idea!

GW vehicles have always required squeezing, I doubt you could get a marine in one of these either.

That being said I'd love to see some full sized escape pods instead of these one man versions. I'd guess a 1 man escape pod is only for top ranked officers, you wouldn't want any of the 20,000 commoners on a ship to get one before the Vice Lieutenant in charge of tea services does.

Bold of you to assume the guys chained to their guns get to even try to escape.
But really, I expect that ratings and the like get stuffed into the corners of the ship’s complement of lighters, shuttles, and cargo haulers as they make best effort to get out via the standard launch tubes. The imperium’s general disregard for individual human lives basically demands it.

Kill Team preorders next week

So I did call it! We're splitting Gallowfall with a mate, I'll just grab the book, Beastmen and the extra gubbins, he'll take the board, walls and votann

If they are going to release the saviour pods sprue separately, could we please also do the same with the generator sprue from Gallowdark. Please?

Valrak says he was wrong about the Kill Team set to be announced tomorrow - it's an Inquisitorial retinue vs Scorpions instead.
