It doesn't look like a new ork kit though. It's the same body and arms for the plastic boyz. Nothing stops you from placing them on 32s right now.

Already have, since AoS ‘Ardboyz went to 32mm. Still, it’s nice not to have base size arguments.

Yea I hope GW doesn't pull the oversize base rubbish on the Orks! Leave that for marine players

Otherwise Killteam looks great, I love having multiple ways to use my boyz on the table.

I am a little worried about rebasing 200 plus ork boys...

but I do love the 32 mm bases...

I find that ork boyz work well om 28mm bases, with nobz and stormboyz on 32s

What kinds of units can you use in kill team? I'd love to get started now on an Ork squad

The original video says dozens of factions.. so I can imagine at least the ones we saw in SWA

Nah, i mean units. Just troops?

Nobody know, but in the trailer they did show Thunderwolf Cavalry.

I think its assumed it will follow a similar template to the last version- wound/save limit, so nothing above a 2+ armour save and over 4/5 wounds? maybe.

So when are we gonna start seeing some solid info on this do you think? We guessed right in that its coming in July, my money was on the 2nd week.

Anybody heard anything?

LordValrak - B&C forum

Pumped for this! Source of mine says the release is 28th July, so July 21st for pre-orders.

Not a confirmation like a WD article but it sounds about right.

It's a new game system (with alternate activation amongst other things), and will not use the existing 40K codex, so the limits we had in previous iterations can't exist as is.
The video is mostly standard infantry, but since there are also some thunderwolves, we might see termies or even light vehicles.

If I could field a small DW Kill Team, a DW Dreadnought(Ambulatory Washing Machine Pattern of course, I'm not greedy), and an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, and if regular, non-Cawl'd Space Marines are actual badasses for a change, I might just redivert my planned Star Wars Legion spending back into 40K stuff.

If it goes as far as allowing for a kind of pseudo-GorkaMorka, I may need to mortgage my flat

Means your army will take huge nerf though.

Not to mention remove even more point of any semblance of tactics from game without upgrading board sizes...

Confirmation that rogue trader is expansion of kill team

What an oddly dated looking cover. The art style and font makes it look like something out of the 80s or maybe early 90s. Especially the dull red.

The art influences seem all over the place and jump from character to character. No idea what to make of leather bustier with boob caps, skirt, some lace wedding dress elements and a plumed hat. Except for the small two headed eagle on the mismatched pauldrons, there's nothing (in the art) to indicate 40k at all.

I completely disagree, it looks fantastic, and like recent (and old) Necromunda art it plays well with perspective. I love it

Look like the same guy who drew the Necromunda cover.

Also Lasgun have muzzle flash.

Thanks for the pic

I dunno, she's got that flamboyant Rogue Trader look. Opera gloves, massive hat feathers, ornate cuirass, swagger stick and flintlock style pistol all fit that 40k æsthetic. In fact, the whole cover has a bit of a retro vibe to it. I like it.

I think that’s the look they were going for. I’m ready to drop some money on this myself.

I've been wanting to get into Ad Mech for a while - almost tempted by Forgebane, but was able to resist. But Admech AND Genestealer Cult is a no brainer purchase! More GC for my Cult, and some new Admech...

This is a joke right?

Spoiler:

Let's put the discussion of whether this cover is 40k enough or not to rest: this cover is, very precisely, 2 on the 40k scale.

Spoiler:

One is next to the title, in red, holding a knife in it's jaw, the second is above the RA in the TRADER title, on some kind of helmet?

I do believe it is a three- see the pin holding the feathers to the hat.

Can someone explain to me what Kill Teams is. Memory is fading and I can't remember. Is this the expansion of Shadow Wars Armageddon or is it something totally different?

It's a new game. I believe it takes some inspiration from necromunda/shadow war but it will be its own unique rule set.

If I recall, it used to have it's own rules in the BRB of a previous edition, for skirmish games. Then it was basically forgotten until 7th with that Ravenguard and Tau box, then was released in a psuedoform in SW:A with all that wonderful terrain. Now it's just getting a proper release with it's own line and unique rules.

Kill Team used to be a minor expansion for 40k (white dwarf exclusive at first, then there was a boxed set for 7e) that catered for extremely small scale (a single squad or so) games by altering the base rules and army comp. slightly but was just 40k. The new version out soon is the same squad-level combat as far as anyone knows, but is using its own rules, it’s own army lists, and (hypothetically) it’s own campaign system for linked games.
No-one has any actual details at this time though, apart from the fact that Rogue Traders are apparently one of the factions, and that there are d10 dice involved somehow.

Thanks! That's a very 40k-esque detail indeed. We have a 3 on the 40k scale!!!
