Silly billy.

You waited to see, but you didn't wait to see what the FAQ would say.

Of course, now you need to wait and see whether they fix the fact that the Fist is free.

Just keep waiting, dammit!

So what you're saying is that these days, 40k is... a waiting game?

Yeah I purposely held off assembling them to post codex drop lol. I'm holding off on building my Kratos in the vain hope of chaos rules....

Is there a hope of Possessed being announced later for pre-order??

Accursed Cultists and Possessed pre orders next week

I feel like I've been stuck in the warp, this took so bloody long.

It was a long saga that finally ends in a whimper (and a power fist). But at least its finally over.

Still no separate release for the master of possession 🤔

I'm super happy about the Possessed coming out, but I hope that there are Combat Patrol boxes focused on all four gods, not just Khorne. Also, it doesn't look like we'll be getting any new daemon models.

At this stage I think there's an even chance that they just forgot he wasn't out by himself.

So, really, about as much care as they give Chaos on any other day...

"There are multiple build options in the [Possessed] set"

Next week, when the sprue pics drop, I'm just going to stare at them and laugh for hours.

There are! We even already know what they're going to be!

One guy can have a different arm and the guy posed ripping apart a Marine can be posed without the Marine, resulting in him doing a street mime act instead.
What variety.

Edit: pictures of said options, as seen previously

Nope, nope. Chaos marines are over now, GW has written this release off as one of their biggest disasters yet (which is impressive in the history of chaos marine codexes). We're done.
...until the daemon prince in December, and the real datasheet, anyway. Sigh.

I'm glad someone will laugh. I will just be unsurprised.

At this point, I am not even optimistic we will get a new datasheet.

Are they out of their minds?
Why in the world do the Possessed cost more than Terminators

Because the kit's chock full of options and posability, no doubt.

Well damn, I misread the thing. My bad.

Given that possessed have had so many previous kits, I think the price point may be a bit high. I'm not even considering them given the other 14 possessed I already possess...
The accursed cult is looking more appealing to me. With a discount from the usual suspects these are looking like a fun batch of horrors to add to my forces. Happy to see the metal horrors are coming out, but the arms are so horrible to stick. I have 40 of these and I don't think I could take the paint of doing another 10. A real pity is that there is no way to get brimstone horrors on their own.

Just got hold of the new codex - WTF happened to Greater possessed? They are a relatively new models as well. I thought they might of been merged with the normal possesed like the torment in the accursed cultists unit, but no sign of them!

They're gone, there's no Greater Possessed unit anymore. They're just regular ol' Possessed now, given the new kit.

You can just run them as normal possessed, they're the same size now

Yeah, Greater Possessed were just a unit they created to justify the size of the new possessed models that came in Shadowspear, but without having to release the new unit to replace the old kit. The older possessed were too small compared to the new models, and thus greater possessed were born.

Possessed have had TWO previous kits. A god awful set of sculpts in metal that looked like they were based on Tim Curry in various movies and the plastic kit that's being replaced with the new one.

'So many previous kits.' It's two and one of those was metal monoposes. For the record....

Chaos Terminators have had, by the same metric, 4 (2 plastic, 2 metal ), Raptors have had 3 (Current plastic, 1 metal, 1 hybrid),, Havocs have had 2 (current plastic, hybrid/metals) and base CSM have had 5 and a half not including RT singles (KT, current plastic kit, Shadowspear monopose plastics, 5th ed plastic sprue recut/additions, 3rd ed plastic, 2nd ed plastic, 2nd ed hybrids).

Please don't act like Possessed have had some abundance of kits. They really haven't.

What's the possessed unit size in the new codex? Can people just easily add the two "greater possessed" models they're likely to have to an unit made out of the new possessed kit without it being a hassle? If so then it seems fine.

10. So if you buy 2 boxes of Possessed and add them to your Greater Possessed you'll have 12. Or one box and have 7. Wonderful.

Given their size, you could combine the left-over parts with some Havocs to make up the numbers. But that would require:

1. Both kits to be compatible.
2. The possessed kit to actually have lots of alternate parts.

Sadly this is not the Citadel Reality we live in. Not since the 1KSons release in 7th.

It's truly perfect in case anyone wants to run exactly 7 possessed and doesn't want to buy two boxes.
