Where's that art of 4 differently adapated kroot from in the latest article? I've not seen that before.

The second Xenology book. The one that's supposed to have been written by the rogue trader in Blackstone Fortress. I think its by Darius Hink

Three boxes a year, eh? Six teams?

Took me almost a year to paint up the Octarius box and the two teams that came with it.

So if I spend 100% of my hobby time on KT, I might get to play one set of scenarios per season, one year after release (basically at the same time they are replaced by the new season).

This pace of releases is crazy, and this is just one of the (minor) game systems.

Four boxes and 8 teams a year.

Potentially more teams, if they continue to do WD ones.

And yet people complained at the slow pace of release for the Necromunda gangs. They've cranked up the pace here, possibly too far?

People complained that for a game with six factions only two of them had anything at the start of the game, very much unlike the other two iterations of the same game. Plus, KT started with a (very bad, yes, but playable) compendium with lists for basically everything from 40k, and the models were already out for those. Pretty different situation.

People mostly complained at the slow pace of release for Necromunda, because things that got rules actual years ago never got an actual model to go with them. It's also a bit frustrating when FW sometimes wastes a release slot on something like the recent Goliath Forge Boss that looks like a simple conversion job and is equipped with a loadout no sane man would ever give him.

My KT group plays weekly so it's been pretty nice to have some new scenarios and such every few months.

Might get Blooded as extra TG models for Blackstone Fortress. It'll be interesting to see what the price of the Annual is...

Anyone wanna guess how a 6x7 grid fits onto a 22x30 board? It's already obvious that you can't merge two boards without throwing off the gird but there are probably other crimes of design going on.

I got Blooded and BSF, and have been very tempted to add the new 40k cultists box into the mix! Now with Chaos Daemon soup being easy to pull off, might even get a bunch of Tzeentchian Daemon stuff to round out the collection. That's quite a lot of cultist models and traitor guard, most being unique sculpts no less

As for the Annual, I'd wager the price being same as Compendium. can't be too far off.

IttD next week, sweet!

If I had to guess, I’d say you don’t. I’m guessing this board isn’t 22x30 but more like 24x28, giving you 4 inch squares.

Wouldn't it be great if the Ambull showed up again? I've love another one of those guys...

Must remember to pick up the Starstriders soon.

My guess is it's 32" long, but closer to 28" wide.

Hey GW, there are more weeks (read: paydays) in the year. No need to drop a new box, the contents of another box and two more teams and a book in the same week. Instead one big load and they’ll roll over and start snoring for the next three months.

How's that Crow taste?

If that rulebook is exactly the same s what every KT player has already, that''ll be pretty annoying paying for something they already have.

You don't have to buy it all day of release. The teams will still be there for months.

Congrats, you "predicted" things that had already been announced?

I'm really hoping that the Gellerpox get 40k rules and that they can be put into an army without affecting the Contagions. After all, the Death Guard created them.

Gellerpox should be deathguard torments

That's a really good idea.

It's a bit annoying that Traitor Comissar and Ogryn are included in the Chaos Traitor Guardsmen set. It makes sense as a Kill Team product but greatly reduces the temptation to pick multiple kits for 40k.

Yeah. I was struck by the size of this release as well. It's a LOT of product in one fell swoop.

On the bright side, if/when that kit comes out for 40k, it'll be cheaper.

Of course, it probably won't have the upgrade sprue either, so...

Yes it would.. But I already have a partially built one I bought from ebay and AFAIK the kit was monopose so.. I suppose one could convert the pose to a different one?

Would be fun to see the KT21 stats for an Ambull tho! How many wounds would it even have - 20, 30, more?
