They could have made two Kin in a trenchcoat.

They made two Flagellants in a trenchcoat instead.

Yeah, a bit curious on the balancing of that.

Yeah, I'm pretty interested in seeing the rules for the Patriarch and Magus.

In my mind they should be more of the target of a special scenario - a Kill Team attempting an assassination - rather than regular members of the team. Besides the obvious counting as multiple models for team size, I'm guessing that they can't gain experience or battle honours.

Hm. The warhammer + battle report is the NL vs Mandrakes so maybe they’ll be up for preorders next Sunday?

Maybe!

There's definitely been some behind the scenes product shuffling. We had a Callis & Toll battle report before Crone stuff went up for preorder not long ago.

We can hope! They've already previews the next boxed set, so they're clogging up the pipeline a little. Unless both release on the same day.

I mean, it's in better shape than WarCry? We've had two boxes previewed but still no single releases from the currently available box(Hunter and Hunted).

End of the War Com article says there will be more Nightmare articles next week as well, so a good bet. I was surprised to see it not go up this weekend.

Yeah, usually the 'week of articles on new product' begins the week before the pre-order.

Did I miss the release of the KT Nightmare box? Seems a bit unusual for them to announce the next one already…

You didn't miss it, Nightmare is delayed from the original planned release date (winter) resulting in oddities like this. Normally it would be available to order before the next box is revealed.

A recent AOS book also had WH+ content being shown the week before release announcement. GW are playing catch-up from all the production & distribution issues since last year.

Last year? It's not 2021 is it still?

And just like that there’s a Nightmare box teams WH+ battle report being advertised on warcom now.
I hope that means it goes on preorder shortly.

Journal Issue 17, White Dwarf 499, and 2 BL books.

Finally!

Is it likely the Night Lords Kill Team will get their own box to be bought separately as well?

Almost certainly. Every other team has.

What do we reckon the time is between the adepticon preview and actual release of the GSC and Votann?

Three months from this upcoming box coming out?

How much are KT boxen nowadays?

I’d want to say £65.

But not sure tbh since they split the teams and terrain out.

Same price point as scorpions/scouts, I'd say. £80, which 'isn't bad' for two full squads and chunky terrain piece.

Oh yea I did get the last Warcry set, probably the same as that. Not much of a discount but certainly no markup.

And the roster/mission cards. Normally they would be sold separately or end up in a white dwarf card section.

Apparently they've added $10/£5/€5 to the price and its now $140/£85 /€110 for Nightmare

Edit price rise confirmed

the differences between models here seems... esoteric. like it's going to be a lot trickier to tell these guys apart than, say, a guy using a different gun or with a special item. they're really cool kits, but i don't know if they stand out as individuals in a kill team, y'know?

Look like there're matching left/right arm of most blades except for the Nightfiend and Shadeweaver. Don't mind me time to dual wield blade, and dual wield flames.
