What did the Guard and Kommandos solo release at?

Veteran Guardsmen - £34.50 & Kommandos - £36.50

Isn't it hilarious they finally give the regular CSM access to Chainaxes, and the option finally isn't confined to the Combat Patrol... and then the Codex removes the distinction between them and the other options

The terrain pieces choices kind of spoil the whole box for me. I love all the minis, and Sector Mechanicus is cool, but they chose the most useless pieces possible (aside from that single big silo piece).

Dammit, They did end up getting me to buy two Nachmund themed releases after all; this box and the upcoming Nachmund terrain they already revealed.

Terrain is fairly comparable to Wazrone Charadon. Not great, not terrible. If the box is 140€ like the previous one was it's a good deal.

And I'm super out of the loop, is that CSM squad all new or is the an upgrade sprue?

To quote the WarCom post:

"Much like the T’au Pathfinders from the Kill Team: Chalnath set, this box provides a ton of new customisation options for an existing kit. "

So it's an upgrade sprue.

It's nice that chaos marines are getting an upgrade sprue, but I think this is missed opportunity. I wish the explored other chaos options like renegade guard like they did with eldar corsairs.

They already did that with Blackstone Fortress, which snuck back into the webstore this past weekend...

Plus they gotta save something for the CSM release, right?

My god, not that same terrain set AGAIN.

To be fair its the first time theyve done sector mechanicum terrain for nu-kill team. Octarius was ork terrain, chalnath was the rehash of the imperial city ruins terrain. This doesnt bode well for any potential Mechanicus kill team boxes in the future though, as it would be a bit of a no-brainer to stick them in there. Heres hoping that a future kill team box has an aquila strongpoint in the box or something XD, though it very much feels like GW is avoiding putting in any terrain that could be used as a fortification in 40k (hence no tau terrain in chalnath, even though they have enough terrain/fortification kits that they could have done a pretty interesting kill team board with.

So is the mutant hand csm meant to pay homage to the lesser of the two greater possessed?

lol, well phrased, and yeah that was my first thought as well, has a clear visual similarity. Wouldn't be surprised if they just took that part from the greater possessed sculpts and chopped it up/modified it to work with the CSM kit.

The pose and helmet are also very similar, so it's very likely a deliberate homage. Or an extremly unlikely coincidence.

Looks like a generic Eldar transfer sheet, nothing Corsair specific about it. No sunblitz brotherhood? No void dragons? No Sky Raiders? Baahhhhh…

There's still room for a catwalk focused Sector Mechanicum box I think.

Also to add to the other replies.
I think we will always/quite often see one new and one standard/upgrade one. Depending how many of these they do.
The Ork/Korps one I guess was different as it’s the new official starter.

I’d love for it to be two new things each time. Was hoping it was with the Chaos but at least it had an upgrade, and they do look alright.

Is this a really old kit though the marines? Or was it redone in the past X years?

Was 2019 I believe, was part of the last proper Chaos wave.

Yep, you're right, so we probably have at least one more mechanicum terrain box in our future for kill team. Honestly, can't really complain about catwalk terrain, I think its the one thing that everyone wants more of and nobody has enough of, simply because until recently it wasn't possible to buy the catwalks separately from the furnaces/vents/reactors, etc. I wonder if they'll ever do the Necromunda HIve Terrain as part of a kill team release - its not necessarily the best for 40k proper (unless GW put out Zone Mortalis rules for 9th ed? Have they done that already in one of the campaign books? Not sure) but it should work really well for kill team (and would be more representative of combat in a hive city than the actual "imperial city" terrain that GW has been pushing for 40k use). As I said before I am also holding out hope for a wall of martyrs box of some sort, as I regret not buying firestorm redoubts and aquila strongpoints and more bunkers and trenchlines when I had the chance previously. Maybe whatever the next Battlezone box is will feature that.

TBH, I had hoped, based on Octarius, that GW would push more new terrain kits. I knew that we would be seeing rereleases of existing terrain, of course, but I thought maybe GW might alternate back and forth (I.E. Orks in Octarius, Imperium in Chalnath, Chaos or Aeldari in Nachmund, Imperium in whatever comes next, etc.).

Was hoping for pretty much.... any other terrain, but I've got plenty of people that will happily buy up more of that mechanicus terrain.

Chaos sprue looks to be full of goodies. Don't care about the heads, but all those other options for a psuedo-possessed, a butcher, a reaper chaincannon, heavy chainaxe, bunch of awesome stuff in there that will make for a real flavorful team, I'm sure.

Of course that's on top of the weapons that are already in the box. Standard stuff like melta gun, flamer, plasma gun, but also the missile launcher, heavy bolter, the icons, a bunch of chainswords and bolt pistols as well as choice of axe, power fist, and maul for the champion.

Combine this with the Chosen box that came out in Eldritch Omens and you really should have no problem making a real thematic and characterful squad.

The terrain in the box is pretty lacking. Whoever build the box contents did their damnedest to stretch it out and cover as much ground as possible, but even so, it's clear that this could'a done with an extra sprue or two. Or even just the stuff they previewed a while back (didn't they call that 'Nachmund' terrain? ).

Anyway, I want two of Malibu Stacey's new hat those big chainaxes...

Only in Chosen and Terminator units though. Gotta be internally consistent.

With just the tiniest bit of green stuff work, the marine on the left could be from the Lollipop Guild

Some of the new CSM head options look a bit silly but I like the new weapon options. Sector Mechanicus scenery is quite a lame choice but if the boxed set is within similar price range as Chalnath, I could consider picking this up.

Corsairs! Haven't fought those guys in years!

The interesting part is that the Chaos Marine kit doesn't actually have a ton of bare-headed options, so I'm not really surprised to see so many added by this.

Glad the Chosen kit has a lot of extra helmets.

I LOVE that happy Chaos champ. I'm not going to be getting the set, but goodness if it fell into my hands one way or another I'd love to use it one something.

Well spotted! Could be the same guy a few Black Crusades apart.

How it started vs how it's going.

I'm not sure if I should start playing the long game with these KT boxes.. If it's always gonna be one old team + old terrain, might as well just wait for ~6 months for the box contents to become available separately. I don't really need a constant influx of new stuff to keep on playing anyways.. Even my Octarius box is still unglued & unpainted LOL

That possessed marine falling forward looks pretty awful, but the rest of them are decent.

I kind of like the Chaos icons thingy, although the Tzeentch one sounds quite OP.

Is that also a new terrain piece I'm seeing at the end of the article? Hope it's coming along with the rest of the Nachmund terrain.

I'd say it's very likely the new box will be up for preorder next week.
