Nothing a headswap can fix though if I'm wrong.

Well gak the bed. It certainly does look more like a boxed game than the new Kill Team, but frankly I don't really care, I just want better pics of dem models.

The only other female I saw is the one with the green feather helmet.

Either way, sounds like I've found the model for the Baron of my new Knight house with the codex coming out.

All will be revealed at Warhammerfest no doubt.

Very excited for this!

Hopefully these models have some use outside whatever this boxed game is.

Oh wow those models look stunning

I could see Kill team getting special warband sets(like the Necromunda gangs) that cover more niche areas of the setting that wouldn't support a full 40k army. The board tiles would make for an easily transportable and quick to set up optional battle zone.

That's a really good point ! So maybe Xenos Mercenaries vs Inquisition next !

On the other hand, it also may be just a board game like silver tower

Of course they will.

see- Silver Tower.

Although Silver Tower models did get rules for AoS so fingers crossed.

Anyone else get a Carnival of Nurgle vibe from those models? Something about the masks they're all wearing, they have a "twisted jester" kind of look to them. And the big guy with the cleaver, too, and the little 'not-Nurgling' guys in masks... I don't know... I just get that "tormented circus" vibe from it all.

YES! It is a Rogue Trader! This is the best news ever!

In that case I hope the game has rules for other units outside the box.

I had initially thought these new models were part of the rumored new Xenos race in June. Some sort of parasitic insectoid race. But Tyranids already have the whole insect thing down.

Chaos seems more likely. They remind me of the flesh and metal horrors we hear about the Iron Warriors making in Ultramarines: Dead Sky, Black Sun.

Well, color me impressed, and wrong also. These are honest RT models. That's pretty awesome GW would do something like this. I'm pretty bummed we are getting Nurgle in yet another boxed set, though to be fair until I saw all the giant insects I thought maybe they were some Haemonculi's twisted experiments (which would be much cooler). This would be a perfect setting for some Eldar Cosairs or Ork Freebootas to board a ship.

Either way, cool models, though I get the strong impression this is a board game more akin to DW: Overkill, and is not the new Kill Team.

They don't though. Nids are dinosaurs in space. The designers have said as much several times.

The figures would be great for an Inquisition Force... It would be great if we got a new Inquisition Codex soon but given Deathwatch, Harlies and Knights are next, bets are off on that.

I bet you this is a lead up to codexes for LoTD and RT. When Killteam came out and I said deathwatch was getting a dex, everyone in my local area called me a moron.

And how did that turn out?

I reckon we could see Inquisitors and Rogue Traders as a single Codex - possibly Agents of the Imperium.

They’re both officially licensed by Terra, and exist outside of the standard military structure.

Rogue Traders would likely have more esoteric troops, and may be able to recruit Xenos - at the expense of Souping with other Imperial Factions?

All just idle speculation from an excited mind

This seems a logical approach to me. Inquisitors should be able to recruit xenos as well- they already can with Jokaero.

Honestly, Sisters of Silence and Custodes could be rolled into the same 'dex, but I think Custodes already got their own?

Custards did indeed, but then they’re a more formal military wing.

Inquisitors and Rogue Traders can, more or less, go wherever and do whatever they want, with whomever they want.

I envisage a fairly hefty Codex, with a range of entries which can be opened up depending on Inquisitorial Faction and bent, or Writ of Trade?

I know it’s not terribly 8th Ed in approach, but would be a cool army!

That looks great to me. I also thing the steampunk guys are Rogue traders, not a kill team or inquisition. Love the space flies and space doberman. The chaos dudes leave me fairly cold, but with some conversion work could be fine.

Could easily be done with faction keywords. Give Rogue Traders and Inquisitors something like an "Agent" keyword, and have the alien mercenaries share this keyword, but not the Imperial keyword. Then they could only share a detachment with the Inquisitor/Rogue Trader.

That sounds workable.

Also - Warhammer 40K Furniture! At last!

I love this idea. Between freebootaz, corsairs, farsight mercs, and kroot mercs I see a lot of potential.

I would be well on board for either of those.
