"Not available this year" is the contents of the Cadia Stands: Astra Militarum Army Setseparately. Not surprising. Those will be available when Codex Astra Militarum and the rest of the Astra Militarum releases happened this winter as GW already told us, aka after the New Year.

.Only a fool believes there is such a thing as price gouging. Things have value determined by the creator or merchant. If you don't agree with that value, you are free not to purchase.
the box also comes with a this set had been delayed in Japan.

Jenkins: You don't have jurisdiction here!
Smith Jamison: We aren't here, which means when we open up on you and shred your bodies with automatic fire then this will never have happened.
About the Clans: "Those brief outbursts of sense can't hold back the wave of sibko bred, over hormoned sociopaths that they crank out though."
Nu-squats was on time... probably to avoid parallel imports.

But in other news. I really like these new Cadians, and I look forward to the spectacle of whole armies comprised of the updated models. Because they look ace.
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
A certainly someone is always going on about Sergeants with Lasguns. Guard Sergeants final get a rifle option... and it's a different gun. It's just so tasty.

I have no desire to replace (or add to) my Cadians with the new ones (and not just because they'll probably be a head taller than the current minis). Having said that, if the new heads fit the current models, I could see a few big bits orders in my future.
Of course, now that I know we're not getting Kreig Command Squad/Heavy Weapons, I'm not so sure I want my two sets of Krieg Infantry anymore...

The krieg box has a couple of models kneeling or relatively low to the ground. Could easily convert them to the heavy weapons team, I'm sure. I bet we'll see a lot of people doing that into the future.
does it suck to have to buy 2 boxes to make the 1 thing you want? Absolutely, but some builders will make the sacrifice.
Honestly my greater concern in that regard is that GW seems to be pushing this idea of 'mixed regiments'. "Have some cadian shock troops alongside your krieg veterans and your catachan hellhounds and your vostroyan tanks! It's fluffy because the imperium is so diverse and the regiments just gotta make do!"
They're literally trying to weasel out of making separate kits for different regiments.
Meanwhile, Warcry is going to soon be up to 16 different flavors of chaos cultists. And each of those boxes of 10+ chaos cultists has a datasheet/battlescroll in AoS as well.
So, y'know, GW priorities. Wonderfully consistent.

To be fair I'd bet we see those (Krieg HWTs, etc) eventually it just there was always only so much they were going to release at once. We've got a new tank, redone sentinel (not sure that was needed but whatever) and a completely revamped Cadians line (which some doubted when they released old guys with the new sprue not that long ago.
I'm sure Ghaz misses him too.
Just imagine a huge cyborg ork in a suit messily sobbing about how Yarrick was "da best foight he'z eva 'ad" while all of the imperial nobles are just looking very scared and confused why the the Prophet of the Waagh is at an Imperial funeral*
*He was invited. As a final act of vengeance against Ghaz, Yarrick willed himself to die of old age, thereby robbing Ghaz of the opponent he craves. The invitation was written in advance to rub it in.
New head canon
There was an IG novel about Yarrick and Ghaz that actually made the relationship work. Yarrick is Ahab and Ghaz is Moby Dick. Yarrick cannot win against Ghaz, Yarrick will never win against Ghaz, but he doesn't know or care. He'll sacrifice as many body parts and as many men as it takes to get Ghaz, but it will never be enough.
In it Ghaz does not 'let him go' Yarrick arranges a massive escape from an Ork hulk, but we the readers realize Ghaz could have stopped him but didn't.
I dunno, but I just wanna be able to give my Sgts Storm bolters or lasguns again.
But this is a step in the right direction.
A laspistol on a firing line is a waste.

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.

On the separate regiments, range diversity and holes in it?
This is precisely why I’m not a fan of the multiple regiments approach. Sure suggest them in the background, and give the freedom to convert. But 2nd Ed introduced too many variants. Should’ve just left them with a highly standardised uniform.

Adding stormbolters and combi-weapons back into the Guard equipment roster would have been great. Alas, our last infantry stormbolter appears to have gone the way of the dodo with Yarrick.

I just really hope that there will be some sort of ranged options for sergeants in standard infantry squads. I like to keep the melee weapon plus pistol thing something for the officers to help them stand out more. Sergeants should still have ranged main weapons, whether it's a lasgun, this new-fangled SMG, or a bolter.

I disagree, I love the variety.
But then I have forces of Steel Legion, Cadians, Valhallans, Vostroyans, Scions, and a couple of Catachans I'm planning to expand, plus a box of plastic DKoK I need to build. So I was the target for the 2nd-3rd edition variety.
Personally, I don't mix the forces much at a low level (excepting tank support attached to the infantry), but in larger games different discrete formations supporting each other looks great.

Ah well. If they're £120 and the combat patrol isn't available until 2023 I suppose I'll be buying two of these army boxes instead of one plus a CP later on. Still, at least this route hedges against the possibility that the CP contains old stuff I don't need like a Chimera or some other rubbish like that.
