Killteam will get a revamp of the Ruleset, but not in the Scale some people believe it will be. Games Workshop see this Skimisher Game as an entry point for new Players and a motivating side of the 40k Setting to create customized Miniatures.
Warcry is not that profitable like Killteam is und will get a new Edition next Year to save those profits.

Complete with bomb squig (suggesting they maybe accompanied by tankbustaz) and burna.
Was not expecting that.
Given the rules preview for the bomb squig said something like “if the unit has a bomb squig it may…” I guess that they’re going to be in more units than just tankbustas. At a minimum, with Kommandos, possibly even as just general wargear?

Looks like tankbustas, squighogs, and kommandoes so far can take bomb squigs

Well, the question is would it be 5 + a nob, or 5 with the parts to upgrade a model to a nob? And at least 1 bomb squig, if not 2 for a tank bustas set.

5 with the parts of upgrade a model to a nob, and a single squig of course. It's modern GW we're talking about.

Still better than what we have now, with a nob, 4 fixed loadout boyz. Tankbustas have 2 bomb squigs, but also a tank hama and a Rokkit pistol boy. Being ably to swap those parts out and potentially use them on boyz bodies would be awesome.

Can you imagine if they actually made the new Boyz kit compatible with the Kill Team Orks? Like in the olden days?

I have a pretty good Kommando collection, of Metal Kommandoz, and several I converted out of regular Boyz and old Burna boy Goggles heads I got back when GW had their own Bitz store. That's how old my Orks go back.
Moar boyz with goggles and gas masks are fine with me.

I feel like the blood one is one thing, but the last Krieger's death is brutal. He gets burnt alive, and you see his eye and skin burning as he crawls on the ground.

Interesting teaser. Ignoring the violence, the question is whether the Kommados have been designed primarily for Kill Team, or for 40k. If the latter, they should be modelled on the new Ork Boyz but in the video they look very similar to the current Orks. This video also suggests that Kommandos get at least one burna and some kind of multi-barrelled shoota (and Bomb Squigs). I suppose it’s also possible that they are going to use the new Boyz sprues plus some kind of upgrade sprue to make Kommandos. [Edit - I see there is talk that the Kommandos will be one-offs just for Kill Team. Seems a bit short-sighted if that’s true]

Most likely I think the multi-barrelled shoota is just a big-shoota. Possibly or kommandos can take shootas now.

Tripple-barreled is usually used for snazzguns and variantes of them though. I can't see kommadoz getting snazzguns though, so big shoota is the next best guess.
Unless we now follow the marine path and every unit gets their own shoota.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

I mean... nobody knows anything yet. Literally the only thing we can take guesses off of is this cinematic trailer. So anything saying that the Kommandos will just be one-offs for KT is a bit premature.

Honestly, Kill Team has not been treated as much of a game and more of a marketing device. Shadow War Armageddon instrduced the Sector Mechanicus Terrain. Kill Team was tied to the Sector Imperialis sets (Bring them back, GW!) The Abominant and Manipulus were introed in Kill Team boxes because they ran out of sprue budget for the 40K releases. The most recent Kill Team box was a bundle to release more Indomitus Tie In models.

I don't like the beast Boss on foot (will use the AoS Ironjaws Boss as planned - still GWs most awesome Ork of all times and systems) and the chariot is just too much. Even if I got one knowing me I'd never finish it. The Designer should have just stopped at some point instead of adding more and more things.

Couldn't agree more though have to commend the rest of the range, it's a bonkers nice update, refresh or however you'd want to term it. Even the regular boyz look great which always put me off starting orks... the 'gorilla butts' are well documented!

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units." Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?" Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?" GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!" Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.
