Most exciting thing for me is that GSC Team uses existing Cadian kit with new upgrade sprue.

Yes, but I can get it later. Don't need Squats and not another Coven - I have two of them from Deathwatch Overkill. Terrain is nice but sparsely. Don't care.

The inclusion of the Broodcoven gives this set more value than previous ones. It'll be interesting to see how the Patriarch fits into this set, rules wise.

Well, assuming the price is the same! If it costs £{brood coven} more than the previous set..!

Wasn't a fan of the "pile of old sprues" approach when they did the big Inquisition vs Cultists box, not a fan of it now. Combined with the blandest terrain GW has ever done in HIPS this is a very skippable box for me.

(this isn't even a complaint, I'm happy to save up for a billion 30k Mechanicum launch boxes)

So separate release of Brood Brothers KT will have Coven included or is it only for that box?

A critical question considering the Coven's current price tag.

Yes all of Valrak's rumours sound like someone who's never heard of Warhammer saw the upcoming release, described it best they could to someone with a passing knowledge of the setting, then this person passed their interpretation of the news on to Valrak, who has also never heard of Warhammer, and is now trying to chinese whisper himself a youtuber salary.

IMO he has a contact that shares photos with him. Likely they are mainly publicity shots and he then just guesses what he is looking at. Occasionally he might get a photo of a box with named contents.

Who knows. Traitor Guard effectively had the Traitor Command sprue 'free' in their box price, but I doubt GW would do the same for the Brood Coven.

I'm pretty excited about this set - really want new Votann... I haven't bought anything in a while - are these sorts of things likely to sell in out in seconds/minutes or hours?

I'm kind of wondering if the new Votann team will have 40k rules right away or if we'll have to wait for them to eventually get a codex for that

Well the article does say this at the bottom:

There’s also more to see from Kill Team: Termination – including some juicy Warhammer 40,000 rules for the Leagues of Votann

Which very much sounds like the 40k rules for the Votann Team

Not that the majority of players will be able to take advantage of that, given how quickly these boxes sell out.

I'm curious whether they'll eventually release the Votann squad as its own box, or if they'll hold off until the eventual second wave that we're still waiting for.

Will it come out on its own? 100%, every Kill team has been released on their own. It just takes a while (For some teams a long time) but all will be available sometime in the future.

Will it be available before Votann get their codex? Now that is the real question.

That's what I meant.

Two quick questions, as I don't always pay full attention to KT.

- Does the terrain from each box get released on its own?
- If so, do we have a rough idea how long after the box itself drops that might happen?

It varies as much as the release of the teams themselves. If you really wanted some, you may be better buying pieces off someone that got the box for the teams and doersn't want the terrain.

I can't say about all of them, but a lot sold out pretty much immediately. I did notice the last two boxes lingered for a week or two after release in an online store I occasionally buy from. I don't know if that's a quirk, improved stock numbers or less appeal in the Kill Teams involved.

GW still has a lot of stock issues, though, which makes me think that if you really like the box, it's best to assume it sells out quickly and act accordingly.

Cheers! Will do - last time I tried to get the Salvagers box set it sold out as I was trying to complete my purchase.. hopefully I'll have better luck this time!

With the drop guard / Tempestus rumours and how.. dodgy Valrak is in sharing this as always, could he be referring to grav chutes maybe, instead of jump packs? Because "bolter Sentinel" to me sounds like a return of the Elysian Drop Sentinel, which came with either a heavy bolter or multi-melta option.

I'd love to see more monsters. Man-sized humanoids vs other man-sized humanoids doesn't excite me in the slightest when repeated for the last 10 sets. Terrain is similarly bland and repetitive.

After the Octarius box, setting a nice bar for uniqueness, it has been a steady decline.

Tyranids KT would be great but other non-humanoid aliens could also be introduced.

With the reveal today of the Newcromunda Sentry Guns, maybe there's a different version coming to 40k/Kill Team as an environmental piece?

As unpopular of an opinion as it may sound, Octarius(a launch box for what was effectively a whole new game/season) feels like it set a bad precedent, with an expectation that every single box would be similar with super unique terrain.

I'd still like to see an actual AdMech Kill Team.

I mean we already have the perfect blueprint for a Tyranid KT in Marco Schulze's awesome one.

I have never seen that one, thanks for sharing

Warcry does pretty well with how unique terrain for different seasons is. Last autumn I was really hoping for some Tyranid vanguard monsters (Lictors?) vs characterful Exodites in some jungle/ruined Eldar shrine... Current season's terrain and teams proved to be such terrible disappointment. How many more mechanicum structures do people really need?

Oh yeah, they did just bring back the termagant special weapons, didn’t they…
