Scorpions and Banshees really need to be a thing in Kill Team by now.

Striking Scorpions sounds a strange kit for Kill Team, though, especially if it is still five a unit...


Herohammer team - 1 super exarch, 5 scorpions. You could do a mixed aspect team, but that isn't very fluffy. Get around fixed load out with a larger than normal selection of tricks, ploys, etc.

I would like a ranger team, but if the mainstay weapon was the sniper rifle they could be tricky to implement.

New marine scouts soonish are pretty much certain. They did a new design for them for Black Templars, so a vanilla version is bound to follow.

If epic is really coming, I doubt we’ll see anything until after the release of 40K 10th.

The new warcry team is FEC and they look pretty amazing from the leaks. They'll be usable in games of AOS as well

Honestly after Cities of Sigmar I hope the next army in AoS to get a big update is Flesheater Courts. I'm kind of surprised they didn't get an update already as part of the Soulblight updates since they share most of the models with them (only the ghouls don't carry over pretty much).

They've such a tiny range and so few modern models, even Fyreslayers have more modern models, even if they are equally a tiny force

- Epic coming at the end of the year according to sources he highly trusts
- Adeptus Titanicus titans and Aeronautica planes are going to be wrapped into Epic

Will Epic be a HH product that only includes the imperial planes? Or will it be a 40k product that includes other factions? My money's on the former.

Will HH only one sell enough to let it survive? I hope that they would make the right decision, and we will see a proper 40k mass battles.

I suspect that Depends.

If they go The Old Way, with infantry boxes jam packed with unit types? You can cover off a given army really pretty quickly. More so for those races that tend to use a single chassis with different guns for tank variation, as those could also be single boxes.

For Epic, Rumors say HH first, Great Crusade later.

With HH it would be very easy indeed but do the people want to play a game of mass battles with majority armies being SM variations? I think there is where 40k can really shine with all those units mentioned only in fluff, now being fieldable because the scale. All the variety of dozens of factions vs SM sometimes mixed with Mechanicum or IA and their dark equivalents (if the game even lives as long to introduce them).

Starting with HH is still the commercially most safe and viable move, as you can do Marines, Titans, Mechanicus and Imperial Army/Guard still firmly under the HH 'red on blue' system, then begin opening up with stuff like Demons, Demon Engines and highly-corrupted stuff, then expand Squats, Eldar and Orks as Xenos that existed in the Great Crusade era, and then there's not much left to port the game to Epic 40k: Tyranids, T'au, Necrons and bits and bobs for other factions. That gives you all the opportunities you could ever want to expand to a full-blown game or abandon the line whenever you want and still have a 'complete' game, albeit with few expansions.

I guess we will know it after, judging by the rumours, almost a year of waiting. Assuming it will ever happen

Yeah, there's no use in building castles in the clouds for now, GW is gonna GW anyway As long as they don't do something daft like collectible randomized miniatures in blind buy boosters it's gonna be not great, not terrible and at worst we'll just ignore it and play fan versions while salvaging some of the models.

An epic related thought occurrs. I’m at my Dad’s week after next. Wondering if any old Epic models still lurk in the loft…

I'd prefer they just... expand Titanicus. It's such a good game system, and there's still plenty of titans, both loyalist and traitor, to do, on top of adding xenos and other things.

Aeronautica has great models but meh rules. Nothing that really helps it stand out against competition. If I were GW, I'd start Epic there, by adding tanks to Aeronautica and putting the planes on different bases.
