We could see the codex (and accessories) released with the kill team boxes.

How much will the kill team boxes be? The same as the other smaller ones?

I expect Kill Teams will be after GSC, and a release alongside the new Kill Zone and Arena.
Ambots and Ambull are likely the same week whenever, but being industrial robots, Ambots would fit in with the GSC...

My doubt is that in LVO, they will play kill team, but the bases of the games are still unknown..

I guess they'll play with the rules of Arena, but for that they have to put it in pre-order this weekend.

Goblins have always been a special case in that sense.
As they’re small, they have been bundled together in packs etc

No actually they haven't. They used to have blisters that were separated based upon character types. Gobbo Bosses had a blister, the 'assassins'(Skulkers) they got later on had a blister, Shaman had a blister etc.

The Gobbopalooza is several different units that form up a Warscroll Battalion sold as one item to avoid inflating the amount of blisters the army would otherwise have had.

The leaks for February's White Dwarf makes no reference to GSC. Isn't it the case that White Dwarf usually covers whatever is released early in that month? While I hope it's not the case, maybe no early Feb release for GSC?

White Dwarf doesn’t cover new releases anymore, as of the last issue. They said at the new year event that it’s because warhammer community already covers the new releases pretty thoroughly anyway.

Not anymore! White Dwarf is no longer listing monthly releases apparently.

Ah ok, good to know! Cheers!

Regarding the GSC Codex making the army "really, really strong":

I actually don't want another Dark Eldar-esque Codex. The Cult is a guerillia army. They should be a finesse army. Not saying that our Codex should be weak but I hope our army isn't buffed to a point where the game almost plays itself.

I want to win because I outsmart my opponent and lay traps with ambush, not because I can stack 20 buffs on three big blobs of Aberrants and just smash the enemy to bits.

Only kelemorph next week :(

Kill team expansions have funny habit of postponing codex releases eh? My prediction of ork release date was week off by commander expansion and now arena.

Darn kill team ;-)

Gah!

Want Codex. Want it now *stamps feet*

now it only remains the ambull, ambots & carrion empire ... two weeks at max ^^ ... maybe even added made to order rogue trader ambull

80 days left was for the genestealer cult codex

Disappointing. I’m not sure I even want the kill team box, either. I don’t play Kill Team, don’t need any more acolytes, and already have a set of Ryza pattern ruins. Unless this is really cheap and/or acolytes/morphs turn out to be awesome in the codex but require something random like tons of rock cutters or and hand flamers, I just don’t see it being a great buy. Really hoping they release the kellermorph separately, as I think this one is a pass for me.

Guess I’ll just go back to painting my neophytes for a few more weeks...

What if getting the "gunslinger" (can't remember his name) is the only way of getting him?

Kellermorph I think.

It'd fit previous releases of Abberants and the most recent Abomiant. We won't know until we see more info.
Killteam takes the wind from my hype sails once more...

I need another 5 Acolytes so I'll probably get the box, if it's only 50 like the other boxes then it doesn't seem like a bad deal

I'm in the same boat almost except I have to say that Ryza terrain set with what looks like a complete building looks interesting.
That might be something i'd actually pick up, depending on its pricing.

I'm very obivoulsy not a modeling or painting genius but I think my home-made gunslinger will work just fine for our area games.

That actually looks really good. What pieces did you use.

And since KT is next week, what are the odds that GSC will be in 2 weeks?

Well i expect the gunslinger come out separately later. Albeit likely takes some time but these "exclusive to this box" characters have habit of coming for sale later

Thanks. Regular Neophyte Trooper with 3 six-shooter arms from Necromunda Orlock sprue. Rag-tag cloak/poncho is green stuff.

Real nice mini there Privateerforhire.

I agree, real nice mini there. My guess is we will know about pre orders this time, so we will know on Jan 28 or a day or two earlier and then pre oders on Feb 2 and pick up the product Feb 9. Just guessing no facts at all. I thought for sure we would be pre ordering this weekend, so surprised it's held back.

I mean special in the case of multiple models in blister because of size, rather than an anything to do with what model they are.
Aside from one foot/one mounted ones from ages back, and the old command blisters years ago, nothing really comes in that style now.

It would just be an expensive GSC kit if all those character models are in one, I would have put them down all as separate releases..

I’m guessing it will be a bit north of $50. Faeit says it will be 40 GBP, and you can usually multiply by at least 1.5 when converting pounds to dollars. The reaver titan that went on sale this week was 35 GBP and is selling for $60 USD. The other boxes that have cost $50 also didn’t come with a character model. I’d say at least $60 and $70 is not out of the question. We’ll know soon in any case.

I would link it but I am on my phone right now. Did anyone see the new drill from Forgeworld on the Warhammer Community page. It is so culty it is going to hurt if we can't find a way to use it.

Does anyone know if the ordinatus line is useable in 40k?

You could use it as a counts as Drill for the new terrain kit but that FW model will cost about 5 times more lol.

Not yet. The rules are likely in the lost in the warp book Fires of Cyraxus with the rest of the HH Mechanicum units.

The Killteam announcement was not enough....give us some actual stats on the gunslinger already GW.!!....I'm jounsing here!!!

Today they put up an article about the AdMech kill team and they showed some of the stats for the new Tech Priest, I'd imagine they'll do the same for the GSC box
