They just did it for the Skaven. Seems like short, 15 minute single previews maybe becoming a new habit for them.

It would be a bit odd to have animated teasers, mysterious lore posts, and announcing a preview show (is the preview show just for KT though? Not clear if it is or not) if it was just 2 new kits and some terrain, none of the other boxes got that. Must be something bigger, wouldn't surprise me if it was a new edition.

The art in the article shows what I think is the Kill Team logo on the folders.

I mean... "people"* complained about the old preview shows as being too long and that *their* favourite game did not receive anything... This seems to be the reaction. Personally I don't mind it.

* whomever this encompasses

**silverstu**

Aren't these basically just reveals thy had for GenCon- they seem to be fairly flying stuff out ahead of NOVA..
Maybe they will tease something at the end of the preview but its clearly the KIll Team new edition, a bigger deal than a new season..

**xttz**

If they're rushing the reveal out when NOVA is only two weeks away, it probably means the release date isn't too far off.

Guessing we'll see something like BA box > AOS Skaven > KT for the next three slots.

New Kill Team rumours from Valrak:

Next box after the Vespids vs Scions is apparently Armoured Orks (Bombs squig etc) vs Ogryns and Ratlings so no flying theme for the whole season (Orks also on the ground)
Both sides are new kits, no upgrade sprues.

**Souleater**

Ogryns throwing Ratlings = ‘flying’!

And Orks throwing Squigs, perfection

**Shadow Walker**

O&R Team? Awesome!

**StudentOfEtherium**

Judging by Blackstone, we could have some climbing etc. specialists there. And cooks of course

**Undead_Love-Machine**

Seeing how they have re-tooled other Blackstone Fortress models for 40k use I'm expecting them to include the two Ratlings from BsF in the Ork/Ogryn release, although I hope I'm wrong

I would rather expect that their poses, and new wargear, in case of the climbing tools/scanner, will be reused on the full sprues.

**Brickfix**

They also recut a single ogryn on a sprue for the Darktide board game

**Desert Dave**

Lore wise wouldnt a team of ogryns and ratlings have to have a commissar present? Cant let abhumans run around unattended can we?

**BrookM**

I can see Ratlings boss around Ogryn, just look at Baggit and Clodde, verms gotta stick together.

**schoon**

An Ogryn & Rattling box would be a must buy for me just for the miniatures...

What if this Abhuman-Team have escaped from a maximum security stockade and are still being hunted by said Comissar?

You mean after being court martialled for a crime they didn’t commit?

You never know... maybe if If you have a problem, If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire them?

Only if I'm allowed to field their nemesis... a new vespid squad called the Bee Team.

**Shadow Walker**

If we end up with a commissar led abhuman KT then it should be worthy at least a novella. Something like a parody of Gaunt's Ghosts.

**Longstrider**

Did I miss something? Was KT Season 3 just three boxes rather than four?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I’ve got my fingers crossed for Warp Spiders as the Eldar entry.

I really hope so. They're so close to having all of the Aspects in plastic. I cannot wait for them to finish.

Yeah, me too. Together with Scorpions they are my favourite Aspects.

[Polite applause] Bravo sir.

By carefully synthesising the rumours and the known history of Games Workshop, I have figured it out; Witness the future of Kill Team, today!
