Blech. The only Repentia I recognise is the old 'lone wanderer' one from the Citadel Journal. To Hell with the nudie nuns.

I remember. It was a different concept from a bunch of half-naked girls with giant swords whipped to battle by a flagellatrice. The Inquisitor model was fugly though.

They look great, I couldn't even tell if they were using the vanilla kit as a base or not.

It's the sort of glow up that makes me complain: why weren't all the KT upgrade sprues this large and this good?

No it just means they didn't show everything.

They do that a lot.

Not necessarily, they showed off one half of the box in its own before, for example the scouts that where revealed way before the Striking Scorpions.

Love these! I really hope they expand this to the other legions moving forward. I don't know that I would cram all these bits onto a single Chaos Marine squad, but this is a ton of conversion fodder to theme an army with. Especially if they start rolling more options back out to the Chaos Lord (or if you just play other rules like I do).

I would love that. I can't believe it hasn't been done yet, honestly. It's the perfect way to update the unit without releasing an entire Emperor's Children Codex.

Yeah, they could be a great forerunner of the madness awaiting us with the new Legion book, and the Primarch plastic model. It would be double important because both codex and the Primarch would probably not arive before the end of 10th edition.

The new Night Lords look derpy af like all 40K heretic Astartes. Overly busy with scary bling brought over from He-Man. not a fan.

Not seeing how these models couldn't just be another "counts as Legionary" conversion either. I hope the rules at least give some further distinction in their playstyle

I think the batwings are super, super subdued compared to what they used to be.

Oh, absolutely! These are a lot better than the 80’s bat hats they used to have. And far more interesting than the new Dark Angels who somehow manage to be bland even for loyalist marines.

White Dwarf 495 is introducing jungle rules for KT, time to dust all those aquarium plants.

I’m thinking a rework of the Jungle Fighting rules from Codex: Catachan way back. Basically the entire board blocks LoS except for short ranges and designated “paths” and “clearings” which are otherwise open.
It would actually be practical on a KT board.

We have the list for preorders into January now and quel surprise, Kill Team is not on there. So that roadmap was a lie.

Not that I am looking forward to it anyway. This is just about accountability.

Yeah, KT21 is looking like its on life support until the next edition launches. A bit bummed as its been my fave 40K game but now I got AT and LI to get into. I will always have the stuff from the first two seasons, and still haven't even played Ashes of Faith campaign even once. GW is releasing so much stuff I barely have time to buy it hehehe!

It's not a lie unless they did it on purpose. I very much doubt that GW is happy to see the Kill Team releases pushed to next year either.

What is a problem is that they made a statement that turned out false and they didn't think to address it and apologize for the delay. That's sucky communication, if on par with what to expect from GW.

IIRC Epic had to be pulped and reprinted, delaying The Olde Worlde, probably pushing Kill Team back even farther.

Yeah better communication, even if just a new road map, is called for.

well Winter is either until end of February or end of March, not having anything until January still gives them 2 months for the 2nd part

which is based on wishful thinking by the community and as there is nothing indicating a release for TOW in 2023 except that it must be because 40 years of Warhammer and GW won't miss that opportunity

Except that the Valrak rumours that have been right about everything else said it was originally meant for 2023 but Legions Imperialis took its slot.
Sure there is a miniscule chance that rumour is wrong while every other one is right but come on

and it is still a rumour

yet if true it would be actually very bad for TOW as the ranking of importance inside GW would be very very low

as for the big worldwide release with army sets in November GW would have already had those ready and produced before TOWs original release date and therefore would block warehouse space for half a year
or the release is so small that it does not matter if it sits on the shelf for months

Kill Team: Salvation is coming to preorder on the 23rd of December, releases 13th of January 2024.

Was the rumoured price still 105€ according to the GW holiday sales catalog? I'm assuming that is the price of the box without terrain
