I somehow knew they would not bring back Chaos Dwarfs in this way, but seeing that mutated Bull Centaur (shut up) and then humans...
Hashut is displeased...so now for a WHFB quote:

Well guys, we're bringing back Squats, but aside from giving them a name that's somehow more unique and less memorable, we don't want people to confuse them with any old, common or garden dwarves.
I know, how about we just shave off all the beards?

This is the most expensive Warhammer preview I have seen in a long time.
Going to pick up a box of Traitor Guard for painting/skirmish games (ironically not Kill Team as I don't play it). These guys are just fantastic and will mix in great with my BSF Traitor.
Love the Horns of Hashut and will be adding them to my Warcry collection. The design aesthetic is very on point for Hashut worshipers.
And that Centaurion......what a beast! And for Warcry none the less!
Kind of fizzled out there, but ultimately the Squats - real, genuine Squats - won the show.
I love those things. I hope they get a cool vehicle.

No matter how minor a comment someone makes, you leap to GW's defence like a Secret Service agent leaping between a gunman and a President. Utterly incredible!
Ew no. They're bloody awful, even the Mantic versions are better.
Both the Squats and the Votann preview are turning me off a bit.
Lots of other good stuff, but my initial enthusiasm from the squat announcement is gone.
On the plus side, I won't be trying to hunt down a box of Fronteris terrain tomorrow, I'll wait for the KT box.
40k Chaos stuff (including Wednesday) looks good.
Actually, looking at the KT squad.. they reused a fair bit of the BSF models. Not the sprues, obviously, but the CAD bits for various bodies- like the sergeant and the guy aiming a gun over a knife (with a truly awful head this time), and various pieces elsewhere. They basically repurposed the designs into a multipart kit.

I'm amused that the Primaris team got probably the least amount of love of all the KT boxes so far. I legitimately can't tell the difference. One of the Incursors/Infiltrators already had a medic guy and lots of models holding their guns awkwardly.

Meh on the Warcry. And the bears. And the squats to be honest. Best bit there was the lore drop.
No idea what to make of centigor plus. Parts of that model are interesting, other parts, I can't even figure out what's supposed to be going on.

Like Adam, I'm excited for tomorrow!

For sure compared to the wannabe Saurons with autopistols from day 1
Yeesss! There's my R&H infantry. And they've brought along an Ogryn and HQ
Here's looking forward to a separate release for the Traitor Guardsmen and hopefully a full squad of those Ogryns.
Is the traitor commisar still an HQ, more importantly do we rekon he will remain an HQ?
Regardless, separate release of the traitor guardsmen can't happen fast enough.
Hopefully? Otherwise we're stuck with the "Dark Souls" dudes.
I for one take 100 darksouls dudes OVER striptease moron carneval cultists.

My suspicion is this is all heralding the appearance of the chaos dwarfs, I wouldn't be surprised to see them as the enemy in the next starter box tbh.
Well, I am definitely rebuilding my Chaos army and loading it up with The Lost and the Damned. I just hope we have options to go all in with Leman Russ tanks or other insanity.
Think I will need a Dark Apostle to lead them. Just for the look if nothing else. The Chaos reveals this week have been amazing.

Basically it looks like the upgrade frame lets you match the Shadowspear models(of which the medic was one; the Infiltrator/Incursor kit doesn't let you build one despite having the option) with the multi-part kit.
The only thing I can hope makes a jump over is the guy holding the detonator--and that it lets you start placing mines again with the Incursors rather than it being an attack like it is now.

I like them both so far and to be honest its still very early days on the 40k design. I really don't know how they will look like in the end at this point.

I don't know what either of those are. Which cultists look like they're from Dark Souls? And who are the carnival(?) cultists?
I _think_ different people are insulting the different kits while thinking they're agreeing with each other? I'm not sure if it matters which person likes or dislikes which.

Incursors are probably one of the Primaris kits that have the least going on as far as options (although I'd argue that Infiltrators have even less to play with). It's hard to give a bunch of accessories to a unit that don't really have any options.
Ultimately, though, including the Helix Adept is a good thing as he's currently only available on this sprue.
Unless I'm mistaken, did they accidentally call chaos dwarfs the "Legions of Hashut"?

These are the moronical striptease unorganised rabble cultists.
these are the "darksoul" cultists
The lower ones with their robes look atleast organised and competent, the above looks like a bunch of carnival goers that miss half their costume and armor.

Out of genuine interest (I'm really not trying to taste-shame anybody, just really curious) - why do so many people go bananas over the fire hydrant necromunda squats? (please ignore if off-topic)

They look like members of a Chaos Cult to me:
The throng of rabble that call for the favour of the Dark Gods, and then the higher escalations who have better equipment and even clothing because they have reaped the benefits of being the ones in charge.
