So, the Big Leak (c) from last year (or was it a couple years ago now?) also mentioned that there were "two other regiments in the works" beyond the Cadians.

I assume one of those must be the Krieg, but we haven't seen anything from any other regiment, have we? That might indicate that there's a second wave on the way in the not-too-distant future, maybe alongside an updated codex for 10th.

Normally I'd write this off, but that leak has been 100% accurate so far, if I remember correctly.

Oh. You're right.

...damn it! Here I was excited for Catachans or something completely new :<

Those leaks are clearly from an early early codex preview… the confusion of multiple regiments doesn’t mean they saw models. It seems more likely they saw catachan, Cadian and kreig units in the codex.. and to be fair we did get kreig vets.

But I’m not saying we won’t get something else in the near future but I don’t see a new wave other then the aegis defense line.

Funny I was just thinking that the presence of Krieg and Catachan (and other regiments) in the rules indicates possible sub faction codexes in 10th.

I can see GW going with Codex IG, Kreig, Catachan and Cadian with new models for them.

This would violate the "No power armour, no subfaction codex" policy.

l could see GW doing a Catachan Killteam box. Then updating the codex Catachan Infantry datasheet. Maybe even a Tanith one.

There were model and rules release for psychic awakening, who really thinks GW aren't going to pull the same trick with arks of Omen?

Catachan box set could be intwined with one such release... Still hoping for a more fleshed out Krieg force in plastic but I'm not convinced those rumours were all too correct as they seem to have been looking at rules and assuming - what I think happened with death riders, when they were only going to be atillians - (however there was one for engineers so who knows?), I've personally sacked off the idea of plastic death riders now.

Well we have seen contents for 1. No matched play rules. No unit rules.

Doesn't mean there can't be updated kits for units that don't require new rules though.

But GW isn't genererally lying that much so if they say there won't be matched play rules like psychic awakening each faction then needs to buy don't expect them. They aren't lying that blatantly.

I think we have only seen one of the contents pages, and there may be more than one.

You are right about them making that statement though. Unsure how they are getting 4 books out without any units etc.

First book is boarding actions, what is the next set of rules going to be though? As well as some 'distinctly' xenos based rules.

It's also unclear how GW reconciles their stated Ark of Omen contents with the Arkinfane's release. Dude is completely new and needs his rules released somehow. So either GW isn't that strict about what they said will be in the books, or they'll release a rules PDF. Either way, we can't really rule out model releases for the campaign that require a rules update as well.

That said, I tend to think Guard gets its update now and that'll be all the new models we can expect for the army until at least 2024, with the noted exception of another Kill Team like Catachans maybe.

You antagonised me undeservedly, and when called up on your bs, doubled down on it. That you believe that's a winning move is a sad indictment of whatever educational establishment spat you out into the world, blissfully unaware of your own deficiencies.

Chill out mate, you misinterpreted my post, no need for all the nastiness.

Looking at the recent scale creep mess of GW I have decided to buy an Iron Empire army for HH 2.0 from Raging Heroes in December. This will be the "Christmas box" for me. Sorry Gee-Dubs, ye have to miss out.

Edited for rule 1

I think rn the best hope for catachan fans reside on Kill Team, but there have been a lot of guard kill teams. I dont expect them soon

So that we're clear?

The individual who posted those leaks on B&C had posted about Krieg months in advance. They accurately called out KT: Octarius almost 4-5 months prior, with specific notations of Kommandos and Death Korps.

I can't imagine that the later posting would have been including something that was already out, and even slated for sale separately as they also confirmed the contents of the Chalnath box.

This is the Guard Rumors bit:


Only one thing was wrong from that whole rumor dump: Black Templar Ancient.

The Veteran Kill Team list isn't Krieg specific.

Huh? Aren't the new IG models one of the few examples of GW not scale creeping? Except the Kasrkin, but that seems a deliberate choice to make them larger than everything else for some reason.

Well, I maintain that the new Kasrkin were designed earlier and independent from the rest of re-imagined Cadian range. They exhibit a closer aesthetic likeness to the old cadians, for example the Kasrkin retain the aquila on the left side of their breastplate, while none of other cadian models do.

No, the hope are Reptilian Overlords:

When GW drops the ball you go to other companies.

Except that the other companies cannot fix the schizophrenic data sheets.

M.

well, as people are here for the models and not the rules, there will be enough companies fixing that part of the game

The new style of plastic kit, like any other material or old style kit, has good and bad things about them.

There is no such thing as the perfect kit for everyone.

Technology is moving and, like in any other time in the past, we adapt to it, by changing, converting, kit bashing, sculpting, casting, 3d sculpting, mix with 3rd party bits and so on an on.

Sorry to say but the only thing I totally reject from any company is poor materials not fit for purpose and casting, there is NO excuse for that IMO. I dont care if a X company will only survive if they can cast gummy bears quality, I will not support that. (I dont do finecasts and avoid FW roulette, or Mantics or Siocasts or boardgames bendy crap...).

Todays GW dynamic kits offer things the past ones did not, but at a cost.
I can live with that since in the past I always changed minis to my taste.
You can now typically build 2 variants from each figure so the problem will only stand out if you go for 3x of the same unit, are you telling me that on your 3rd unit build you dont know the kits well enough to mix and match the instructions in a way to create variant numero3 and 4 etc? It's plastic so theres no easier material to manipulate. I dont think I need GW to do that for me, actually I dont expect them to do so...

I for one welcome the limitations of each material and kits since it pushes me to something about that or even buy from companies that really need some coins.
This is no different from what we did in the past.

And the Chaos bikers. Maybe we'll get new bikes and Doomrider when the Emperor's Children turn up.

Bikers remains to be seen. Arks of Omen aren't really lending themselves to the actual releases we're seeing. Rough Riders, Rogal Dorn, artillery, etc all can't be used there...

I wouldn't be shocked if the final Gallowdark box is tied to the hulk making planetfall.

If the ship is big enough to transport titans it’s big enough to be boarded by titans.

Titan size boarding torpedos?
