I’d prefer pretty much anything to jungle, but as I want both teams and a copy of the rules, the box will probably still be worth it if that’s what it has.

I remain unconvinced about the Striking Scorpions or Exodites being part of the launch box with Scouts.

Especially since this is making the rounds on B&C:


IF Scouts truly are the Marine half, and it's playing into something that has been poking up in the lore? Raptors would make the box look very bland with Scorpions.

What is that scout symbol supposed to even be?

I think it's just a white circle in which to put a squad number.

Huh. Might be my monitor or eyes, but it looked like there was some texture there. Plain circles for symbol backing would actually be pretty nice to have.

Balance update released on WarCom

I hope it is a Scouts kill team, I always liked the minis and they are a cool part of the lore. Striking Scorpions is interesting if a little dull for a Kill Team. I feel like they'd have to expand them a bit to give them more ranged abilities.

Haven't heard anything about the new KT annual in a while, I heard it was a Summer release so should be here in August at least.

I'm having a suspicion it will have the teams from the Into The Dark etc. and consolidate any rules from their box sets

They told us that it is the Gallowdark teams, I suspect it'll just be a single Sunday announcement and then release, given there's nothing new in it. Not a lot of build up or hype.

I still want my sodding Votann Kill Team box. Slightly miffed it's taken this long considering the box was sold out within 20 seconds..

This might be an unpopular statement, but make sure that you load up a virtual voucher for the GW webstore if you seriously want them. If it follows the pattern of the Kasrkin?

Limit 2 per order, sells out extremely quickly and continues to do so.

I did manage to snag that box and I need to offload the Votann; PM if interested?

I literally just managed to snag a reasonably priced Autosavant, so my desire for the standalone Inquisitor Kill-team has dropped significantly. I would however love the chance to pick up some Fellgor Ravagers whenever those get released.

The last two preorder weekends have been quite smol in terms of releases, if this keeps up, they will be releasing the Gallowfall separates and the annual in a similarly modest weekend, maybe as soon as next Sunday?

Still hoping to get a box of that medical equipment and escape pods, plus the other, two I think it was, books I still need for the whole space hulk collection.

Chaos Cults FNP dropping to 6+ is very welcome, and was long overdue

Fellgor ravager Frenzy nerfs were exactly like CURAC hoped they would be, also cool. Perhaps now, the other teams will start having a chance against the two teams

Finally, the Inquisition nerfs also seem bang on point, and tones down the obnoxious Absolute Authority gotcha silliness

All in all, good update which cleans the 'slate nicely for S3. All existing teams should be more or less balanced now.. I really have to respect Mr Hamer, he is singlehandedly keeping KT21 together better than the entire 40K team can deal with their mess

Now if they could just keep them in stock...

It feels a little uncharitable since Leviathan really was only two months ago... but these stock shortages are getting frustrating.

Hopefully finally being in their new warehouse will help?

Chaos Cults, Inquisition and the Annual 2023 should be out soon.. not many weeks left until Autumn. Given the really modest Sunday previews we've been seeing these past weeks, a small KT21 drop like that would be in line

We still haven't gotten Hand of the Archon, Felgors, or the Hearthkyn--all of which came out before the Inquisition.

Chaos Cults was just bundled existing product.

Oh, right, forgot Gallowfall stuff isn't out yet either. Those Gallowfall extra terrain bits will no doubt be in high demand

Arbites

Yeah, they are really falling behind on the individual Kill Team releases.

They're out of stock at the moment, but have been available for quite some time.

I was told end of summer for the inquisition but I doubt it, unless they're just dropped on a random weekend

Attached to the new AoS rumours was this bit that was offered as a way to prove the validity - AoS rumours have been confirmed by another source

this Sunday some Kill Team boxes and new Kill Team annual should be announced for the next pre order. That way you'll know on Sunday if I'm at least somewhat credible.

These will be only old teams sold separately: Beastmen, Drukhari and Inquisition

Fingers crossed! Wonder when the votaan are coming then, seems weird to leave them out

About flockn time! This "hobby of buying GW products" has been feeling stale lately, finally something new to buy

..unless Annual 2023 doesn't contain anything new for owners of S2 books, that is
