Good news on the sprues. Only Celestine and the Geminii share sprues so we could potentially see these models released individually in the future. Cawl takes up three sprues, Celestine and her Geminii take up three sprues and Grayfax takes up a single sprue.

So: I seem to recall that certain people got early access to the Traitor Legions and IA books, and were allowed to release deets after they went on preorder...

Those formations all seem absurdly large, and unplayable at current point-norms.

They seem apoc level, which considering a world is at stake is at least appropriate in scale.

reviewss where are youuuuuu

It may not require all of those models. One of the bundles has six Scion squads, it may require three and it gives you enough to make them ten man. Or, it may be 2-6 units of Scions. Just imagine the cost of a BattleCompany bundle, then think of how easy that is to take at 1850.

Woah. That bundle that comes with with the three characters should cost about £875. Oof.

Celestine and her bodyguards are going to be released together in a box, if the Triumvirate is ever sold piecemeal.

The fact that they named each of the bodyguards seals that as a huge inevitability.

anybody made the discount calculations yet?

How much money is it socially acceptable to borrow from your parents?

Is it just me or does the Wrathful Crusade kind of look like the Batrep Imperial Army list?

anyone knows how will the new deck cards work? ... are they a new addition on top of the other rules? ...

Yes. I never really expected Celestine and the Geminii to be sold separately.

I just want the rules. Summoning Veterannoob.

Warpstorm deck.

I don't play 40K at the moment, so what is the point of that accessory deck - does it alter the status of the game, or is it missions?

Heck yea they do if they need all of those models

I had a lot of hope for the Admech formation, and instead of looks like it's just MEGA WARCONVO 2.0 NOW WITH MORE POINTS

You can use them to add random warpstorm effects every turn.

Empyric Storm
In our battle, at the start of each player turn, we rolled two dice and consulted the chart to see what effect would be in play for that turn. That meant that two empyric effects would be running concurrently every turn.

Battlezone: Empyric Storm Cards replace dice rolls & chart

is the empyric storm like a mission, or like city deaths?

Yea its even worse than the web only one that combined Cult Mech and Skitarii that was one of every unit

Empyric storm as a new phase added to the game, add random psychic rules and effects every turn to the battle (for fall of cadia missions or optional in others missions).

When GW does these one-click bundles, they tend to use the maximum unit sizes. I doubt you'll actually need that many models to use the formation. I could be wrong, though.

Even if they represent maximums, those are all a CRAZY amount of units. The Scion/Templar one is the smallest, and it's still very big.

That's because those bullets won't catch themselves.

Start Collecting: Deathwatch? Ah go on then! Just a kill team, though... honest!
