More Marines!



The Vicious Chicken of Bristol! (In hindsight, possibly Farsight)



And a Dark Eldar!

That is an Arbites!

And SNIKROT!!!!

Farsight's silhouette looks rather promising. Also Snikrot! Can't wait to hopefully see them in early 2023.

That's also two more notches to Valraks rumours.

And another rumour engine basically solved, the bubbly plant things are on Farsights base.

Could the first image be a freakin' new Primaris Lieutenant!?! We've not had one of those in a while.

Im with you

2nd one seems like Arbites to me. Similar to the classic Enforcer models even with the bigger left shoulder pad with the Aquila on it.

I hope that new SM Hvy Gunner is rocking MK X Gravis.. but tye silhouette looks more like MK X Tacticus

Arbites in 40k would just be so dang weird. I hope it's Rogue Trader or Inquisition instead.

So Arbites killteam, Drukhari killteam and Snikrot, possibly with more Kommandos. We have an orky grenade in the Rumour Engine, could be for someone that goes with snikrot, maybe a grot or something, hand looks too small for a proper ork:

Arbites and Drukhari models are likely Kill Team - they mushed KT and 40K together in the article.

Still don't make sense. Not with the Gallowdark season.

Curveball:
It's a Scions Kill-Team, with an upgrade frame adding additional stuff?

The helmet silhoutte is pretty distinctly in the Arbites style, with the flanged neck guard and the raised emblem on the forehead. Also the model has a riot shield and possibly shock maul, a typical armament for Arbites. It might be something else, like navy bosuns/proctors etc., but that is a remote possibility.

Sure looks like Arbites. I hope that's it and GW finally decided to do the right thing.

Gallowdark is only two more boxes in the first half of the year, though. Did I miss anything in the article saying this preview is only for that? If not, the first box of the new Kill Team season that starts in summer might be Arbites vs someone who disrespects the law (heresy!).

So either arbites or, dare we hope, an inquisitorial retinue?

Valrak apperantly talked about a Arbites Kill Team so seems to fit

Would then be Drukhari Kabalite upgrade sprue? and Arbites Kill Team for the next set named Soulshackle

Could the eldar be exodites?

Arbites do have spaceships by the way, they are in charge of imperial customs cutters and stuff like that, so them doing boarding actions in search of smugglers and contraband is not that far fetched. Besides that, there is obviously a huge demand for Arbites not only for Necromunda, but also for 40k, they have to be one of the most popular factions that do not have any official models on offer at the moment. So doing a box of them for KT to gauge interest and get some sculpst out there has to be pretty high on the priority list.

I don't believe so. The silhouette looks distinctly dark eldar with all those blades and spikes.

Valrak says that it's gonna be the next Killteam box set, Arbites vs. Dark Eldar. He has a pretty good run recently, so that's probably right.

Don’t forget this season of 40K is all about boarding actions. They are basically making 40K into killteam for the first 6 months of 2023 at least mission and campaign wise. But we do need an agents of the imperium codex with hq based inquisitorial teams. So I can see arbites being pull into inquisitor and maybe rogue trader retinues.

I'm thinking it could be a Drukhari Beast Master, possibly a Kill Team model.

Arbites? Interesting.

The Missile Marine isn't what I was expecting.

Could someone post the rumour that had the Primaris Missile squad? There's been so many rumours i'm not sure which it was that included it.

The Next boxset for Gallowdark is called...


"Soulshackle"

It was right in the front of our noses.

AFAIK it's not Gallowdark for the entire season, the season name is 'Into the Dark', with the quarterly boxes being Gallowdark, Shadowvaults, Soulshackle and Gallowfall.

At least that's how i interpret this:

Something about the idea that a customs cutter of all things would try to stop a space hulk is hugely amusing to me. Daemons and heretics plotting sinister things? Fine. Alien invasion? Sure, go right ahead. Avoiding import tax? Now that is taking things too far!

I'm not opposed to Arbites showing up on the Gallowdark, mind. Frankly, as long as I finally get Arbites models I don't care about the context one bit. If they're in the next boxed set and I can get my hands on them earlier, so much the better.

I'd rather Scions get a Kill-Team, finally, than throwing yet another homeless Imperial faction into the mix.

It's not flatout saying "THIS IS JUST FOR GALLOWDARK SEASON!!!!", but this is what the article says:

Speaking of space hulks… Kill Team! Now that the Shadowvaults have been cracked wide open, it’s time to speculate about Soulshackle – the mysterious next expansion set. We know quite a few factions who’d love to get their hands on some tasty mortal souls, but how many of them have experience fighting in the bowels of a space hulk?

Arbites have customs cutters and the like but the Gallowdark has been a pretty continual narrative. Shadowvaults' Kasrkin kill-team were the remnants of an Inquisitorial ship that got stuck into the space hulk. They went much more active than they had been when they heard the vox-chatter from the Naval Breacher Teams.

The helmet silhoutte is pretty distinctly in the Arbites style, with the flanged neck guard and the raised emblem on the forehead.

The "flanged neckguard" is also present on the Skitarii Vanguard. Does that mean that the Skitarii Vanguard are Arbites?

The supposed "raised emblem on the forehead" isn't. It fades as the model rotates, making it evident that it is part of the maul or pauldron.

Also the model has a riot shield and possibly shock maul, a typical armament for Arbites. It might be something else, like navy bosuns/proctors etc., but that is a remote possibility.

You know that Kill Team does not translate 1:1 into 40k proper, right?
Kasrkin don't get a scanner or a medic in 40k--yet they're big parts of the KT roster.

You're really trying so hard to pretend it's something other than an Arbite.

It's obviously a Tempestus Scion with a torch that just looks like a maul, getting attacked by a bat that perches on his shoulder and looks suspiciously like the classic aquila pauldron, that has a helm he borrowed from a Skitarii and a very large scale unfolded map in the other hand that just looks like a riot shield! Everything else is wishful thinking!
