The model with the holographic projector is referred to as a Nexos. The Vigilus book makes fairly frequent mentions of them as some sort of strategic advisors for the Primus, so I'm fairly confident that there will be a model for general use if that particular one is an exclusive.

What I am most curious to see is how many named characters the book is going to be getting. The three-armed gunslinger is obviously one based on the fluff tidbit they posted on the community site and the Magus narrating the teaser video might be a named character if she is indeed getting her own sculpt. Plus I remember seeing rumors that the bike-mounted Sniper was a character as well (named or otherwise unsure).

Either way I'll be monitoring this thread with a keen interest. Need to keep the tactics thread updated with new tidbits!

God I hope so. I like to use my GSC as a relatively TAC style army, and I'd love to see models in Goliaths, neophytes amushing in to shoot, Rockgrinders and Sentinels providing mixed fire support/melee, and bikers giving mobility and board control alongside the suicide melee elements. Currently, the melee infantry is just too massively glass cannon to ever function in that kind of a role. Hybrids and Aberrants are about half as durable as they look like they should be, and to compensate they just dish out crazy amounts of damage.

Win or lose, GSC means you play a 2-turn game. and that really kills my enthusiasm for an army that I love the character of.

Have you played them recently? Currently they do work mostly as a combined arms force with a mixture of ambushers and fire support assets, using both infantry and vehicles.

Is there a single piece of GSC news that's actually new here? Not trying to be glib- it's just, every single model posted in this thread has been on the internet since at least as far as back as late October.

Also, weighing in on the limo debate: I agree that it's better off not existing. "If you don't like it don't buy it". Sure, doesn't change the fact that it in no way matches the new aesthetic of the faction. They're space blue-collar union workers- every single weapon and vehicle they currently have looks like it was purpose-built welded together with cheap scrap that was laying around.

No, but there will be tomorrow - which is why the thread has been renamed.

The teaser video they put up is new (link). The previous page had some screen captures as well.

Yay finally a proper thread about... wait a second!

The old limo was a product of his time. Do wealthy people actually still ride around in limos these days? In the UK at least, they’re more associated with hen parties these days

Going by some of the people in those hen parties I still think Genestealer Cult use is fair game...

We're doing trailers for trailers now?

Aiight...

They're called Teasers, Grandad...

Though in all fairness, this wasn't up on the main site. But on social media to draw attention to tomorrow's event.

This is my favorite post of the day.

I always think the same thing when anyone does a teaser release..

I had heard this back when the model was shown prematurely on one of GW's social media accounts (during one of the previous 40k Open Days) and then got removed within an hour, and not appearing on the WarCom site for a while. The info may be wrong though, months ago and it did not come from someone with access to the exact release plan, just what he was told. Fingers-crossed this great looking model will be regularly available.

Nicked these from Spikey Bits. Looks to be some kind of planner or strategist for the GSC. Uses a holographic map to call in arty strikes perhaps? Or plan where to ambush? Interesting though.

It's a nice modell. According to earlier information it is going to be Warhammer World exclusive though. The building to be invaded is the WHW in Nottingham - so this is most likely not for general release.

I cannot wait for the new models and Codex book. Excellent stuff so far. GSC will be my next army to be fully expanded and played in 8th Edition.

That hasn’t been said anywhere to my knowledge. It’s just a cute sight gag.

A Tectonic Frag Drill!

Sounds fun.

Yeah. Really like all four actually

There was also this guy in the trailer:

Pics:

I'll need a few of those drills for my underhive.

5 heroes but where is the new patriarch

Damn. Not one of those is anything other than brilliant, and some of them I want two or three just for the conversion potential.

Bit disappointed Ol' Three Arms and that new tubby Techpriest are only going to be in the pricey KT boxes though.

The Kelermorph (Gunslinger) is part of Killteam set

And he's packed with high performing 'morphs. Bound to be awesome with the new codex in units of 100 or more

So what we getting is 5 glorious characters plus bikes (and a bike character??). A moon buggy and a drill I'm sure my orks won't loot

So I'm thinking:
Female magus - might be just alternative scupt or named character?

Assassin dude is pretty obvious maybe poison weapon? Or could be bone sword (love the night vision goggles on the familiar)

Vox dude - many a good something that plays interference with enemy commands ala strategems? (Bit wishy I know)

The priest dude with two swords on back is??? Preacher? Maybe Chaplin like model

----------------
I did not see that doctor!! He lucks so cool like I generally dont think the cult has a single bad models, by far one of the best ranages

Old 3 pistols is cool, sad he behind kill team but I am tempted by kt lately

sad for no new generic 3 (magus/primus/patriarch) ,,, seems like they gonna drag that kit until another wave

Think their will be more releases later on.

Wild guess; fortification will give GSC player 1sr turn DS

will doc come with these two brutes?

Aren't those just aberrants?

also: Time to start praising the four-armed emperor and flesh out my GSC kill team into something I can use in 40k... All of these new minis are just gorgeous!

I just hope there will be 40k rules for the gunslinger; I don’t much like that he’s being released separately under the kill team banner…

The Warhammer community page confirms 40k for the Gun Slinger and new Ad Mech Commander.
