An Elite book for Kill Team.

See, I was hoping that GW would put some of the more interesting troop types into Kill-Team: Terminators, Assault Marines, light vehicles like Sentinels and War Walkers.

I wasn't expecting a book that just does Elite choices. If the Commanders book was annoying, this seems... worse.

Kal and Scabs? Still have my original ones in their original blister, so yeah.

Haflings? Well, that's a strange lookin' Lizardmen team, that's for sure.

I imagine Elites Commanders will be a thing. Just look at how many characters in Terminator armour GW make.

Reading the preview article again, it seems that Elites is also a general update for "regular" Kill team.

Oh dear, I love those halflings. What horrible little garbage sons. They really leaned in to the halfling's core aesthetic that the only true way to win is to troll the enemy team.

If the Elite book is going to include a Striking Scorpion, could that mean we’ll see one in plastic?

The one holding the ball with the pot on his head reminds me a lot of Bilbo.
Something about the smug face while reaching into his pants to put on the ring.(Or whatever he's doing.) Even the pose is Bilbo-y. Which is what I like in my halflings.

Still peeved about the lack of hairy feet, but they are some fine models.

The question is, is it worth trying to loot them for that squirrel and what can I do with said squirrel when he is removed from the head...

The more I look at that terminator, the more different it looks from the current terminators. Particularly the knees. They have a bit of a lip over the knee part that reminds me more of Intercessors than terminators. Also, the flat part above the head is more flat than the current terminators.

Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but it seems odd that this guy would share some design elements with the Intercessors given GW's recent(ish) obsession with artwork that accurately reflects their product line...

One of them filthy casuals...

Regarding the two new Kill Team faction starters - are they like Starn's Disciples or Theta-7 with newly designed commanders? I'm not familiar enough with 40k models to tell if the guys on the front of the box are new or not.

Almost certainly not but I'd love to be wrong.

I mean, obviously, those knees don't lie!

It's not that I don't like the Primaris models, I actually like them quite a bit. My problem is that the Primaris proportions are what Space Marines always should have been in relation to other models on the table, and instead of just re-releasing the line (which would have been painful) they shoe-horned these guys into the codex and make them better in pretty much every way. But that's just my two cents.

On a brighter note, I LOVE the Halfling team. Seriously cool models that I will have to pick up!

Calling it now. Next KT expansion is going to be called "Scout/Recon" and include light vehicles and biker/cav units.

Speaking of Biker/Cav units, is this when Thunderwolf cav will be introduced? We saw them in the initial trailer for KY.

Elite isn't only Elite slots it looks like. It could just mean the 'elite warriors of a faction'. For the life of me I can't imagine what they would add to GSC or Nids, seeing as most of the plastic elites in both ranges are already present. Few spots empty on each side, especially now with all the new elite characters in GSC.

Who just so happen to also have gotten bikes and a light scout vehicle....

That is a good point. I guess I hadn't looked at the sprue layout for the Rubric marines.

Probably nothing more than wishful thinking, but the termy on the KT elites cover art towers over the primaris, and has both flared kneepads of an intercessor and the same arms-in-vaguely-the-right-place as new abaddon.

I think the Kill Team covers are somewhat exempt from the “GW art should only show representations of models exactly as sold”, as the White Scar captain on the cover of Commanders isn’t an actual model either:

I hope KT: Elites will come with very strong limitations on the amount of elite minis you can take.

And they said every faction will get something. But what could Harlequins possibly get? The Death Jester is a commander. So that leaves Skyweavers (unlikely as we haven't seen any bike so far) or the Solitaire, which seems a bit over the top.
I suppose there's actually a decent change Harlies won't get any Elite unit, but still that makes me wonder.

I am bracing myself for Necrons getting the worst option of those available.

That is just a regular primaris captain model with a whitescars head (chest plate, shoulder pad aquila, sword, cloak & pose are a match to the stock model). Still, you're probably correct.

Oh, la de da, mister I have a troll's hoard in gold to buy my team real helmets. My grand dad played rabbit ball against the goblins usin' nuttin' but a clay jug, once all the ale was drunk out of it of course, on his head all the time. And he turned out just fine. Grand mum said his thing about cabbage was well be before taking that cudgel to the head.
