This doesn't seem relevant to the GK rumor topic.

it's also old info with poor speculation

I just wanted to reiterate that there's no new kits. This was just another BS rumor posted by natfka

if Lord of War Gaming said there won't be new kits, well we better believe him.

I wonder if we are gonna get any SM models incorporated into the codex then.

**BrianDavion**

I could see storm talons but little else. the GKs generally don't use vehicles outside of transports, so unless they issue a retcon and give GKs scouts (I'd be down for that) then we're not likely to get much from marines.

**th3maninblak**

This is awesome, thanks GW. I hope this codex is terrible.

The missile launcher is, but the other heavy weapons are on a separate sprue.

more info on the SW squads:
SPACE WOLVES SKY CLAWS (€29): A new great value box containing 5 sky claws. Sky Claws are the Space Wolves Assault Squad. Previously you had to buy a Space Wolves Pack box and a Space Marine Assault Squad to create these miniatures. This box does not contain new content, but it a combination of box contents.

How do these boxes work?

The Skyclaw one might work 'cause GW would undoubtedly still have the moulds for the single Jump Packs, so they could throw five of them into the box. However, the Long Fangs would be a little harder. I can't remember the layout of the Devastator sprue, but aren't the heavy weapons all jumbled up with the Marines? Unless, that is, they plan on selling a Devastator box and throwing this thing into it, which would be really lame.

Yeah, the Heavy Weapons are jumbled up with the Marines. I could see these being a kind of "splash release" box and going away in a few months time.

Actually all of the heavy weapons are on different sprues then the bodies so the longfangs would work out fine.

This is lies. Not from you but from them. Market research is as simple as Mat Ward or the model designers having a look on Facebook or here and seeing overwhelming numbers asking for seperated Inq and GKcodexes.

Why would Mat Ward or the (nebulous) "model designers" look at Facebook and base decisions on what they read there (especially whenGW ran away from social media 'cause that's just a fad like those Pokemon thingies no one remembers these days)? Methinks you grant them too much autonomy.

So you don't think these guys have their own personal Facebooks? Or even ones under an alias so they don't get flamed the second the join a 40K group? You don't think that at even one point, some guy has been asked to design and make a master model for a new Space Marine gunship...he goes on Facebook, "I wish we could have a plastic Thunderhawk" "I wish we could field Thunderhawks in regular games." "They're too big and made by FW, not happening bro..."

Guy screams Eureka! A mini-Thunderhawk!

And we know how that ends.

**WrentheFaceless**

Can we not fill this thread with Space Wolf stuff?

**agnosto**

So wolfy wolfy murder wolfy claw wulfy lupine tooth wolf muerderia wolfy murder.

I'm prepared to be mildly disappointed but will make-do with whatever comes through.

I will say that I was really hoping for a box-set with daemons vs. GKs. Ah well. *le sigh*

**Pox Apostle**

There very well may be a box set coming, just not this week.

Well that's the thing, if the codex comes first then any new unit will need to be in a data slate or supplement for IP reasons. Keep in mind I am saying NEW units.

GW would basically be printing money with a GK VS. demon kit with plastic greater demons. Heck even one greater demon of the four. To bad they don't do market research. Obviously said research would gouge to deeply into their profit margin

**happygolucky**

Expect the new GK formation to be a one where you spam Dreadknights, and it will be called "Segmentum Rim"

Because that was totally not a Pacific Rim joke that was too good to pass...

As amusing as that was, there already exists an Apoc formationway back from summer 2011 that featured a Stormraven and 3 Dreadknights. The Stormraven could mark whatever it shot at (outside PotMS) and the Dreadknights all get twinlinked vs that unit.

Repackaged Stormraven I find hard to believe. The original kit was designed with GK in mind. It even comes with GK chapter icons to stick on and is shown on the back of the box in GK colours; 2 months before GK are released.
GK Land Raider, Dreadnought...meh, not bothered unless new options are availible like the Psycannon, in which can I had one from FW already.
Seperate Paladins are difficult to believe given that they are Termies with a different head, which comes with the Termies box along with their specific option such as the Apothecary.
Seperate Purifiers I don't bank on given that they are just PA GK with white heads and shoulder pad.

It's probably just a renaming. Like how the 2012 Raptor/Warp Talon kit got 'redone' as just Raptors in 2014 with the Crimson Slaughter release. Take the same PAGK box, put the purifiers on the front, pump the cost up 2 bucks and there's the Purifier box. Same idea with the paladins. I'd bet GW is just going to put the studio's chapter-appropriate version of the kit on the box for even the non-GK specific models. There's a vendread in the 2011 codex that looks pretty much stock.

In short, they'll probably just do what they did with Crimson Slaughter.

The GK Paladins and Purifiers boxes will just be the two boxes we already have just repackedged with the new (boring) blue background GW now uses for all new releases.

GK dread is probably a new kit.

GK Land Raider might just be a repackaged LR variant or might be one that comes with Psycannons...

Hmm, what's this? So they rename the same box with different cover art to try and sell it as a different kit? Shameless bastards.
That particular Vendread was designed to look as GK-y as possible, with the 3 fingered Doomfist, the sarcophagus panels with imprinted text, the tilt plate, and painted so the 2 leg arches were the same colours on the sides corresponding to the tilt plate (the left was white with sword and gear-tooth edges, the right was red with skull, on both half of the tilt plate and the full of 1 grieve image.

The GK-specific things are just paint, it's all stock parts in the kit. Check out the SM Vendread on the GW site, the Raven Guard has the exact same fist and legplates. The Ultramarine has the same text panels on the body. They can just slap the Grey Knight on the box, pop the same kit in, and done. It's nothing they haven't done before.

I'd both love and hate for it to be a GK specific dread. I'd happily snap some iconography and plastic psycannons up but I already HAVE four grey knight dreadnoughts.

the 10 man GK ss is at a 10% discount actually... so OBS the complaints will flow!

I still dont buy the no new kits rumour, more likely just has been no leaks of what is released.

at least, one would hope

Unfortunately the SW rumour thread got locked after the codex was released even though it seems like we will be getting some new SW kits (I did find it odd that as of the time the SW codex was released there was no battalion/army boxed set).

I assume by "no new kits" you mean no new models. I totally buy there will be no new models as the White Dwarf cover shows an old model. I'd think if there were new models on the way, they'd want to advertise them on the cover of White Dwarf.

Depends how long the release goes on for. This release has caught us all with our pants down, I would not be at all surprised to see some surprise kits.

**Arbitrator**

No new models on the Codex release White Dwarf? As sceptical as I was, I'd say that is decent evidence to support there being no new models.

That, and Orks/Space Wolves followed the process of new models, then the Codex/new models, then more models, no? Dwarfs did it also.

**Tsilber**

hmm. I would of thought we would be getting some kind of multi kit henchmen box set by now. (And please save me the "well thats GW for you waah waah waah, sniffle" comments"

I wonder if they ever plan on releasing anything like it. It seems since Coteaz is so popular they could make some good money producing the Henchmen kits.
