It seems obvious that there will be kabal traits that give a bonus to each unit from this kabal (just like any other codex). But then, what happens when you mix your kabalite units with wych cult units? At the very least, I suppose adding non-kabalite units (that are still Drukhari) won't prevent you from getting your kabal's trait. And similarly, there will be wych cult and covens traits.
But will a mixed kabalite/wych cult detachment be able to benefit from both a kabalite and a wych cult traits, or only one of the two will apply? That's going to affect army composition quite a lot.

I do hope they don't split Drukhari too much up as I do enjoy having a mixed army.

Sadly I doubt we'll see a plastic release with the Drukhari which means we still won't get plastic Grotesques. Seriously, it would do so much for Drukhari Covens if those things were plastic.

Also, I really hope they address the cost of reaver jetbikes.

Why don't you just convert ogres / ogryn? I mean, a grotesque is a big ugly mutant thing. Ogres are big and ugly, and with a bit of greenstuff you can probably make them look like horrible mutated experiments.

I actually started DE mostly because I loved converting coven stuff. Converting stuff is my favorite thing about 40k.

I wouldn't collected lots of grots or talos if I had to buy the original (and expensive) models. I converted ogres into grotesques and stormfiends into talos.

As much as I do enjoy converting I also like to have at least one unit of "legal" GW in case if I attend official events.

On a sidenote I have found Everblight Warspears to be much more optimal when it comes to converting to Grotesques. Got sold on those after seeing this person's work:

Those suggested conversions should be perfectly legal though since they're 100% GW plastic with a little green stuff (that could also be a GW product) added on them.

Not the Everblight Conversions since they are taken from Warmahordes :(

So squats are back in a secondary/tertiary game, looks like SoB aren't permanently out, just might be another 7 years

God don't you know how to read clocks?

That says seven minutes obviously.

Maybe start a new thread?

Inability to stay on topic generally indicates the topic is finished.

Feel free to start a "next three releases" discussion if people actually want to discuss that topic.
