To help manage expectations, here’s a Handy Dandy Stinky Linky Pinky Shminky Winky Dinky to last year’s Adepticon Reveals.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/03/24/warhammer-preview-online-adepticon-all-the-massive-reveals-are-right-here/

Weird that we have a reveal for killteam but not for warcry. Their 3rd boxes were released the same day, so I guess the 4th boxes will be released pretty close together too.

speaking of kill teams, any ideas for what they might be? we know its going to be the final "Into the dark" box, set in the Gallowdark. going off of previous Kill Team boxes, it will feature one brand new kit, and one kit that is a upgrade sprue for an existing kit. Most of the time, one of the kits will be a Imperial one, but its not axiomatic (as the Nachmund set was Chaos marines vs Eldar Corsairs).


my hopes? Voltann prospectors kill team vs nids infiltrators of some sort, or maybe an admech archeotech hunters team. dont think we'll get those, but i can hope.

I would love an Admech or Votann kill team. That would make me happier than a grox in a stink pile..

While I'm as excited as anyone to see what's coming up with this reveal I can't help but feel a little bit confused, no Blood Bowl?!

There were plenty of sources online adamant, expecting, promising even from inside sources there would be a Blood Bowl team revealed at Adepticon lol. Oh well guess I got suckered then. Glad I'm not the only one though lol.

Anyway there's enough other interesting things coming to focus on. Trying to keep my expectations in check though when I read the WHC article about being seismic, not missing this one, real showstopper and having my mind blown.

Hehe takes a lot these days to blow my mind

I can't help but notice that they revealed the MKVI tactical squad for HH last year; maybe this year they'll reveal the melee equivalent?

I see no big announcements for Necromunda. I guess they will just 'bubble' along in the background with minor releases.

I guess we're never getting that second campaign book...

I'm expecting very little tbh.

Underworlds is a new season, likely a new roadmap, like we got for the last season.

30k is likely plastic sicaran variants or something.

AoS is gunna be the rest of the Seraphon reveal (which will likely blow the pants off of the other reveals like it did last time XD)

40k is gunna be a teaser for another teaser that will tease another reveal which will itself be a teaser for 10th edition.

Kill Team: last Gallowdark box. Votann unit with an upgrade sprue and maybe like Fallen or something, idk.

With the amount of whinging that came about from the MkVI studded pads, I'd be shocked to see plastic MkV.

I was all in for Mk VI assault troops (I don't get the pushback on this armour type), but now I think Mk V would be a much better bet. Better suited to close combat dudes, and more variety. And the complaints about the studs on the Mk VI pauldrons are overblown - with a bit of care, the join disappears and you end up with much better defined studs than a one-piece cast.

That said, I am not expecting them to reveal plastic assault troops yet. I think another big tank is much more likely. Which would be preferable to more FW resin character models.

Next KT box is called 'Gallowfall', isn't it? So the last episode of the Space Hulk and maybe it's destruction. I'd expect something more than just some Squats looking for stuff then. It's mostly populated with Chaos guys, but I'm not sure if turning it into an Ark of Omen is a 'fall'. Maybe there'll be an Exterminatus. Or... Tyranids. Or both.

Yeah, it's pretty strange.

I mean, in this season of Kill Team we've gotten quite a mix of units.
Arbites, Navy Breachers, Kroot, Drukhari, Kasrkin, Necron...

That's a lotta human and xenos factions.

I suppose if they wanted to stick with the theme, the last one might be human vs xenos, space marine vs tyranids.

It'd be nice if the final set was Terminators vs Genestealers.

Agreed, but who would get the new kit, and who would get the upgrade sprue?

Honestly I think both of them will be new. That'd be a nice way to end things.

The terrain of course

I hope it will be 5 resin Mk VI heads (and 5 resin torso spacers to fix their gak anatomy at least a bit) upgrade box for plastic 40K assault squad to make HH unit. It would make for very amusing week afterwards

So let's start with our wish lists: Tyranids KT?, Breachers for HH? New ghouls?

Have they renamed a tank chassis to Breachers?

Re - Killteam

This edition of killteam, including Gallowdark has had:

AM - Kasrkin and Krieg Vets
SM - Phobos
SoB - Young Nuns
Tau - Pathfinders? & Kroot
Chaos - Marines and Traitor Guard
Eldar/Dark Eldar - Corsairs
Necrons - Cryptek Crew
Imperium (misc) - Breacher, Arbites
Orks - Kommandos
(Not including re-release teams like Gellerpox etc)

That leaves...

Custodes
Multiple Marine Chapters (Neglible reason to get specific sets though so you'd hope would be unlikely, but this is GW)
Tyranids
Daemons
GSC
Ad Mech
DG/TS/WE (Probably as likely/unlikely as chapter specific marines, less likely in all regards)
Votann

Out of full established factions - Not including Knights of all varieties for obvious reasons, and you can't discount an Inquisition force... You would guess/hope one faction is from the above list of not getting a kit, yet... I think it would be a poor showing on GW's part to not have a space hulk without some Nids or GSC, but Arbites didn't make sense and was picked over them. Orks are another Space Hulk heavy user factions.

Kasrkin vs Nids would have been so cool, essential colonial marines vs Aliens. Oh well.

Stand alone Adeptus Arbites box
Arbites Suppressor Tank
Arbites bikes
Arbites Fortress Precinct
Arbites special character- Arbitor Foreboding
Arbites Penal Legion
Arbites Dreadnought- Officer Lexandro Murphy
Arbites Knight - ED CCIX

I think that will cover it it for wave 1

Once again, no blood bowl. Been waiting on plastic vampires and chorfs since the 2016 reboot. Might as well just give up at this point.

id argue the factions that got white dwarf kill teams (admech, GSC, Tsons and harliquins) are the least likely to get new teams as they have "full" rules already.

We saw a small new tzeentch daemon model recently. What are the odds that's from a Horror-based kill team upgrade sprue?

Looking at it purely from a models POV, either upgrade sprues or brand new models. I get what you are saying about new teams from White Dwarf, but there are multiple from other factions as well in the core rules.

Just reminded me anyway, GK can go on the no models/upgrade sprue list. I think DW would be lumped in with other chapters, even though they would be one of the most thematic kits for a special kill team - could also mean GW could mix the KT in as non army rule breaking allies for other imperial forces, same as GK's as they could be given an agents keyword which would be badass. Would really like to run a DW killteam with my AM without it hamping rules - be like the good old days of 3rd edition again.

I’d split the Eldar teams
Craftworld - Corsair Voidscarred
Drukhari - Hand of the Archon

Genestealers or Freebooterz are definitely missed opportunities. Except for Nachmund all the boxes have been Imperium vs someone.
A couple of pair ups that probably won’t happen:
Ad Mech vs GSC - Last edition starter II
Ad Mech vs Votann - Who’s jumping whose claim
Ad Mech vs Dark Mech - Tie in with AoO
Inquisition vs Daemons - Not unless we’re getting undivided daemons

I recall some rumblings about the return of Epic and it being based during the Horus Heresy. This would certainly be a dark horse reveal.

Agreed, and also forgot about the new Drukhari kit

Freebooters would have been really cool, I was thinking of them myself.

I'd prefer to see Genestealers with Terminators tbh, I think a Lictor based kill team would be cool. A smaller style kill team, maybe with the red terror or variation. 3-4 of them.

They now have a big doomsday countdown to the Adepticon Seminar on the community page
