Product leak, or WarCom not knowing what they're on about again...

Hopefully the former. Need plastic Mark V now, now, now.........

Freudian slip because they're so used to talking about plastic Mk6.

Oof thatd be super funny if they spilled the beans like that

It's an error that i could easily see committed

What’s this about plastic eviscerators?

There's one in the inquisition warband that gets released as part of the Ashes of Faith box.

II is probably a typo for III. V not sure.

Book and at least a brace of Vindicators for me.

Laser, naturally.

I am very excited to look at all the pictures.

Weirdly, it looks like the Kill Team: Ashes of Faith box comes with the old Burning of Prospero transfers:



EDIT: Probably because it's the one the SoS come with...

Are GW only planning to get 12 months use out of the Despoiler kit? Or are they gonna do something daft like not putting power axes in next springs melee weapons set?

And while we are talking future armour releases. Anyone else think that Evander Garrius could based on a reworked Cataphractii design?

I'm hoping that the Melee Weapons pack is more like the FW MKII / MKIII Power Weapon Sets with a small assortment of different stuff.

Freudian slip.

I don’t get how the arms could be used outside mk6.

It’s not like space marine armors share identical arm designs. Mk3 arms are pretty distinct. Plus, if these were designed for mk6, they’ll probably look way too big when used on the older plastic heresy mks

Since Valrak has been saying MKII and MKV are done and are just waiting to be released and his sources have been right about releases for a while now (for example he talked about the Cerastus Knight 5 months ago) I'm leaning towards accidental leak instead of just a mistake

If II and V are done and ready, why show off new mk III, a redo of an existing mark?

Mk3 redo being released first?

Show mk2 first, then release mk3 instead and let people wonder when mk2 released?

Given that plastic melee weapons are coming in the future, and the only armor mk released before then is mk3, I’m not sure if this was a leak. I don’t know if these despoiler arms will be around long term or if they’re just a resin placeholder

II, III and V might all be done. But GW might still feel III will sell better and is more important to get out than II or V.

Shouldn't V be the most important seeing as it is literally strapped together adhoc common for 30k used by all somewhat decently equiped fighting forces? And considering the HH community is a bit more stickler for the background wouldn't the natural order then be V, IV and III? and not III, ?, ?

Aren't the breachers supposed to have a modified Mark III if going by lore? That could be a consideration?

The only other reason I can think of for releasing in that order is that III looks best.

For some legions. Certainly IW and DG will have a lot of happy times with it.

That said, i can see GW throwing out immediatly a breacher shield kit. Which would atleast make us 4/ 6 troopslots available. Depending upon kit (and the contents) it may even cover the Assault marines so we'd be at 5/6 types of troops.

I'd say it's more just that the only dedicated full Breacher kits happened to have Mk3, the bog standard Breachers, Invictarus (which sort of aren't really Breachers by tactical role), and Medusan Immortals. The Ultramarine Praetorians and the original Breacher upgrades aren't specific but when the only generic option is Mk3, it sets a precedent. The Phalanx Warders are even modified Mk4.
Mk3 is the heavier type of Power Armour but it wouldn't be a requirement to wear for a Marine in a Breacher unit.

Hmmm...I wonder if we'll get any new Legion upgrade kits for the new Mark IIIs. I'd love to get some of those "Headsman" helmets.

I really hope so.

What about seeker upgrade, could be 10 Seekers and 10 combi weapons.

Could be a fun addition.

Cthona isn't on the retailer price list. Don't tell me it's direct only?

That'd be a first. So hopefully not
