Now, now, now. What does this portend? A box set of the sons of the Allfather vs the children of the Patriarch?

And where is from please?

That seems to be that Metamorph/ Aberration we saw previewed earlier.

Curious if it'll be 40k proper one- off like Forgebane to showcase new models, or another Kill Team expansion box set.

Maybe that Hybrid gunslinger will show up in here as well?

Either way I'm intrigued.

Just want some Primaris SW myself. Not interested in box sets that are only reboxed months later.

It is from the 40k Facebook page. We should hear about new preorders tomorrow. This may be it.

If true I could see it being forgebane style with new abberants for GSC and new primaris lieutenant for SW and upgrade sprue. Nothing else new. Local shop told me forgebane was becoming unavailable too. Looking at pic geusss you’d get dreadnought, intercessors and new character for space wolves at least.

It's form the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page.

It could be another Kill Team tie-in, Vigilus is the main setting for that game.

Aberratns and Woof Primaris.

There's really nothing else it could be.

A possibility but Wolf Guard are considered Terminators or Veterans, options which aren’t available at least to normal Astartes in Kill Team

If this is tied into the release of the new GSC models, the Primus would not be apart of Kill Team since he is a HQ.

I'll be annoyed if the new abberants turn out to be only available in yet another boxed set (not matter how good)

At first likely yes but as usual eventually separate no doubt

Yeah probably following a similar pattern to Eldrad and Artemis in Death masque and the Armigers and Cryptek in Forgebane.

Mr Icepelt is probably just the guy sending the SW kill team out on its missions. There are several quotes from Inquisitors in the Kill Team rule book, even though you can't field Inquisitors, because they're often the ones sending out IG/SM/GK/DW kill teams.

The flavor text does not sound like it is setting the scene for kill team scale engagements. Maybe kill team releases will form part of this but the fluff seems to indicate that the Wolves are travelling to the sector in large numbers, with great motivations to do so. Having said that, I cant imagine them limiting their involvement here to small scale kill team raids and skirmishes.

A small killteam of SW would clear the planet easy.

honestly I hope it's not another kill team thing and instead ties into the SW ;dex

Actually, despite what I said, the logo suggests it's relating to 40K proper rather than Kill Team.

a wolf guard battle leader is just what the space wolves will call their Leuitenants.

It's either...

A. Space Wolf Codex
B. Genestealer Cult Codex
C. Kill Team Box Set
D. Forgebane-ish Box Set
E. Nothing, just some flavorful stuff that they decided to publish to torture us.

Either way, I'm excited to see what we get. The possibility of a power-axe-wielding Primaris excites me.

Well we know next two codexes so b is false by default

That space wolf is in primaris armor if you look for the distinguishing parts like the hip armor and kneepads.

that's no suprise, I'd be shocked if the space wolves in this set wheren't primaris

My bet is it will be alongside the wolf codex and add a character model or two for them, then new units for the GSC as a pr3 iew for their codex, like the Armiger's in forgebane. It's also a handy way to use interest in the wolf book and army to prime people for the GSC later, while orks are popular enough to stand on their own.

This was exactly my thinking. Genestealer Cult has gained a lot of interest in Kill Team because they're quite viable in it, but they are definitely one of the lesser factions in terms of popularity, despite being one of the newest plastic factions in 40k.

I can't find the postings anymore, but didn't they flatout say that GSC were getting a release in advance of their book?

Doesn't make sense as KT box set.

GSC and SW already just had boxes out. Unless it's an expansion that's far out, which is not likely.

This is probably core 40k.

So much for the Orks Vs Space-Wolves set rumored before.
Not even surprised the orks are on the back-burner again...

Aye, Kan - at the UK Games Expo GW Seminar, they previewed that GSC dude with the sign post as a weapon, and specifically said that he would be out in advance of the Codex, as they weren't announcing the GSC Codex in that seminar (but were announcing SW & Orks).

Given the usual GW approach is not to preview more than 3 months in advance, though, they are running out of options on when to release those two books - I was expecting them both by Sept 1, and I doubt we'll see either out on the same weekend as Titanicus...
