This includes City of Traps rules, which simulate the devious Genestealer Cults’ methods of fighting on home turf
Wonder if this will be part of their Battleforged Benefits?
Sure it’s not for Kill Team? Setting traps is part of the scout phase rules.
This big box isn't a Kill Team box, so yes I'm fairly sure.
Always a time for the first time to include rules for more than one game in a single box. Would be a neat little addon, and besides the characters and Dread it’s all usuable in KT.

Not disagreeing, but I think if it were meant to be for Kill Team they'd have pointed it out as a Kill Team rule. They tend to be pretty good about that kind of stuff.

Agreed. If there were Kill Team rules that would be a selling point that they wouldn't forget to mention.

I think the helfrost round special ability pushes it a bit over the top, if it had JUST been the stats it would have been a stormbolter equivilant of Primarch's Wraith, good but.... but yeah this absolutely is Better then Primarch's wraith... and my Wolflord conveniantly HAS a stormbolter.

Even without the Helfrost part, Assault 4 makes it better than the S5, because now you can advance and fire. And I'll bet you anything they get a Strategem that'll let you advance and charge too!

Yet it somehow made it onto the website as part of the painted stuff? It might be--but the base also doesn't seem to be 'right' for a 32mm base(which the Namarti are on).
It's still on there, I might add. In case anyone's wondering what I'm referring to:
Spoiler:
This bit is not present in any of the Idoneth range. I own at least one of everything (barring Lotann) and it just plain isn't there.
I've been thinking it's for an Akhelian character that we haven't seen yet, as it was surprising that we didn't get a "character on big mount"--or heck, it's surprising we didn't get one on a plain old Fangmora Eel.
edit:NVM, the eel does look different. My mistake.

ahh my bad I thought Primarchs' wraith was assault 2 it's rapid fire 2. but yeah the additional STR damage is pretty situational. that said, (this BTW is a very VERY minor issue here but it's worth noting) the Primarch's wraith is a boltgun, conmpared with frost fury being a stormbolter. so space wolves DO pay an additional two points for their relic. Meanwhile, barring the codex changing it, the burning blade is straight up BETTER then the Krakenbone sword, and the Krakenbone sword is a frost sword so it would cost more to boot.

NZ$83? For 3 Plague Marine models? The other three are NZ$30? The regular Plague Marine box is NZ$16 more and you get 4 more miniatures and tons more options.

Doesn't the Krakenbone reroll all wounds? I'd argue that to be better than the AP-5 S+3.

Is that a reprint of the bizarre three collectors edition guys who came out shortly after the game was released? If I recall they were stupid expensive then, but the only way to get a plasma gun or something? (or a melta?). I think they came with a printed picture or something completely inane at the time.

They came in a special little collector's box with art prints of the design process for Death Guard stuff. Poxwalkers, Mortarion, Plague Marines, etc. They were not "the only way to get" anything specific, they were just an expensive little "collector's" item that had Blanche artwork and was apparently popular enough to warrant bringing back.
It's still on the NZ webstore.

It's The Plague Brethren which were always NZ$83. The only difference now is the kit doesn't come with the extra content.

That lightning power is awesome. It is going to win games. My last game it would have got three units. What works me is it is only 6 to cast yet doom bolt is somehow 9?

I wouldn't know. I've never listened to one and even my Black Library books read count has dropped down to one in the last 12 months... and even then I skimmed it skipping the bolter porn.
