**Olthannon**

So, combat patrol size plus codex and dice and a few extra bits. £140?

**Kanluwen**

Dice have been absent since the Lumineth one, so I'd say:
-Combat Patrol sized for contents
-Army Book with unique art
-Datacards

**Wha-Mu-077**

Personally I'm thinking it's gonna be Khal, Hearthkyn and the Moon Buggy for sure, and then either the Cthonians or Brokhyrs.

**Arbitrator**

Khal, Hearthkyn, bikes, cards, codex. £135 RRP based off how poor the Black Templar one was.

**Wha-Mu-077**

The Black Templars army box was a travesty, nearly half of it wasn't even Black Templars.

I like that the Imperium is confused about the Votann, not realising or recognising that they are using AI, and the very same discussion is happening here. I think you could make arguments for that 'death mask' style head being either an organic creature wearing a helmet (albeit very snug) or an AI and thats just a metal shell.

Or a ghost in the Shell style full body replacement, with just an organic brain inside an otherwise cybernetic shell.

Am I correct in guessing pre-orders are likely to appear over the next few weeks or so, perhaps release end of September or October?

We don't know, but as a guess, yeah, we're speculating that there will be a launch box and it won't be much longer until it goes up for pre-order given we seem to be reaching the end of the model previews. Then a couple of months until the codex and separate box releases.

That of course assumes no unforeseen logistics issues and, of course, that Squats don't get an uncharacteristically large model wave to go with the codex, as GW could then draw out the previews even longer.

Perhaps there's going to be more previews between the launch army box, and the separate box releases?

Between pre-order announcement and release, sure. Between the launch box and codex release, no. The codices should be identical in content and the army showcase in the launch box book would spoil any unseen models. So Gw is going to finish previews before that, if need be with a final preview dump.

Only the dread wasn’t specifically Black Templars. The worst part was they had the gall to call 13 models an ‘army box’.

Yeah, the Dread wasn't specifically Black Templars - it also made for like, a third of the box's value model-wise, given the only other things in it were a single squad and two characters.

They couldn't even be bothered to toss in the upgrade pack that actually included bits for vehicles, like the Redemptor.

**Pacific**

Well have ordered my first squats! Ironhead prospector gang - will get an easy 5-man Squat warrior squad from that set

Is the Chaos Knights box thinly 40k army box after Templars?I seemed to be a good set and definitely looked like an army. I was surprised it wasn't just a single titan. If they gave LoV a proper sized army box like that id be pretty happy. expecting hearthkyn, einhyr, Pioneers and the Kahl . would be decent enough.

The Chaos Knight box was more expensive but both (and I think Beastsnaggas) saved you roundabout £40.

**Tastyfish**

A second Loremasters episode on them and a battle report next week on Warhammer+, so perhaps the week after next for the release?

**Wha-Mu-077**

NOVA seems to be teasing either more Ironkin or something Brokhyr, judging by the design of the gun-thingy.

**Grot 6**

More then that.

There's a human auxiliary/ contingent that has been shown and teased. Second are some vehicles options of the hover kind, and third was a heavy armored infantry type.

More to come in a couple of days....

What are you referring to? I've not seen anything about any of that

Here.

Don't blink, either.

Look at the end of the video I posted. If you blink, you'll miss it. 1:46- 1:52

Please point out the specific time rather than just needlessly avoiding giving a straight answer. There is nothing new in that video that I can see.

**KidCthulhu**

At the 2:12 mark in the video, there's conversions of Cadians with Empire Outrider helmet heads and a medic made from Tempestus bits.

EDIT: I just watched it quick with the sound off, but that's the closest thing to Grot 6's "human contingent" I could find. But I admit I could easily be very wrong.

Ignore me; the heat has addled my brain.

**Grot 6**

I posted both. You're just being difficult, at this point.

...Those aren't new, at all. Have you not been paying any attention to the Leagues?

That's the Hearthkyn, Hernkin Pioneer Trikes, and Einhyr Exo-suit, all units we've seen already. The "human auxiliary/ contingent" are the Imperial Guardsmen they're playing against, because it's a battle report.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

**Grot 6**

Some people can really try you.... That's all I'm going to say.

Isn’t it probably just squats vs imperial guard? Those hover trikes and infantry are things we have seen aren’t they?

If you say so. You just want to be a douche, so that's on you.

Seriously, have you not been paying attention to the Leagues? It's as if you saw those in the video and just assumed they were new units without even checking (even though they're units we've seen multiple times), then for some strange reason thought being needlessly vague about it was a good idea before deciding to start insulting people.
