Aw hell, this all looks great.

I'm ambivalent about the idea of ever playing 40K again, but I'll still be getting at least one of everything for the sheer joy of building it.

The injection of new bits should be great for GSC Necromunda gangs too. I'm gonna need a few moments to decide whether I want a full-fledged GSC rules release for Necromunda so I can have biker and gunslinger hirelings or if I'm good on buying new Necromunda rulebooks for pretty much forever.

Actually, potentially scrap that, as the red dot looks to be part of his mining suit, and the "scope" I'm seeing is likely just the device hanging from his neck.

I was just about to say isn’t it just his strange trinket thing.

With rumour of two more things coming, though units, maybe there is something in there that can create said sniper rumour.

No scope in that image. Just mining suit details as others have said.

Only slightly related, but Tooth and Claw is no longer available, just in time for the upcoming Genestealer Cults release....

Why GW, just why?

Because it came out a decent chunk of time ago and was a splash release, with limited stock numbers available...?

Presumably the Aberrants and the big fellow will be available separately soon. So you won't need to buy a load of Space Wolves you might not want.

There are like three sitting at my store lol. It's not really that great a buy if you don't want the primaris.

Those boxes are always limited print run. Likely simply just ran out of stock.

But if you do, it is bloody great, which is why I bought two!

I have been envious of folks that score on both sides. Every set only has one side I have needed or wanted lol. But there is eBay for that anyway.

... so are these artistic liberties or a new vehicle?


It doesn't look like the current one


Edit 1: Big clue the new respirators akin to the new bikers

Edit 2: Also double checking is this the same vehicle above? ... has the initial lateral design in the wheel, but the front seems off a bit

I think it is just the goliath.

The last picture is of the rear quarter of the goliath. look at the 360 on the GW site. Both the shape of the truck and the silhouette of the dudes riding in the back match.

As for the cartoon art it would look closer to the goliath if you mirror flipped it so the rounded cupola bit was on the opposite side.

Would be cool if it was a variant-add on sprue?


Unrelated: The taurox hangs its head in embarrassment whenever a goliath is near.

Yeah, the art is definitely just ProCreate the Goliath with some liberties taken with the paneling and angles.

Glad am not the only one who picks on Tom

Hmm... GW having artwork that doesn't reflect the miniatures... hmm... I'm torn.

Not really directed at Tom specifically... I was in the 'definitely a conversion' camp as well...

Aw that's right, you were kind of overshadowed in my memory though because he went off and made a whole page long response with colored diagrams I love Tom, but that was such a funny sequence of events.

Spoiler tag those photos please, they are massive.

I just realized the image is of the back, which is why it looked so odd.
Fingers crossed the art aren't just artistic liberties

At first I thought it was, but the entire front end is different and the gun on the back is nothing resembling a gun we already have. So it's possible. I have mixed feelings on that since I am already going to need to buy too much stuff lol.

Said there is a new genestealer kit...

I think he could refer to the genetealers family kit mentioned here.

If they had a new purestrains kit, why would tooth and claw contain purestrains?

Because it's an easy repack from the Tyranid line? They had a surplus of genestealers and tossed them in there?

Also, isn't TaC not available anymore? Meaning they could very well have a new purestrain kit for GSC on the way, to better differentiate them from the Tyranid Hive Fleet Genestealers.
That's not going to mean you can't use them interchangeably though. Could be an entirely new unit of baby stealers, like some have said.

And in the new images of the cult the old models are seen
And he says that they are 12 in a box.

That's why I say that maybe he has been confused with family genestealers.

Do you mean why would Tooth and Claw not contain Purestrains?

If that's what you mean, I'm guessing it's because they want to hold Purestrains back to release alongside the Tyranid invasion of Vigilus. Or something.

And serious question time:
Why do people link to that site without posting what the actual rumor is? Is it just because you're on mobile going for clickbait?

Well, realistically, Deathwatch overkill did include 2 brand new Genestealers which had a very, very good sculpt. Much better than existing ones.

Unfortunately, they never got reproduced. I'd love to see them get repurposed as a new kit if that ever happened.

From Spikeybits ...

"The Genestealer kit is specifically for GSC Genestealers, and they are based off the most recent Space Hulk Genestealer design."

I don't remember the Space Hulk genestealers being any different to the ones currently available fore 40k - other than being painted blue, and being less varied in physiology.

No.

There’s a purestrains sprue in tooth and claw, and it’s the ancient slot base and hours of mouldline removal ones.

If they were going to release new purestrains, it wouldn’t make much sense to include those in the set.

It would make fantastic sense, to them, because it would let them clear out loads of back-stock of the old kit before releasing a new one.

That doesn’t tend to line up with their general behaviour on this specific issue. Generally they just flush the backstock when they do a replacement.
