Simply the fact that not all of them balance on some terrain piece with the tip of their foot already fills me with joy.
Also while they are obviously completely new, they don't look that different from old Scions so unless they change Scions to be Grav Chute only now you should still be able to use your old ones without it looking strange
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.
Wasn’t he pushing the flyers season rumour right up until this?

I think he hasn't been pushing it too much lately and apparently that was speculation and not an actual rumour. Could also be that he heard more about a later box that was also flying based and just the one in the middle isn't.
Still for actual model rumours instead of themes he has a nearly perfect track record so orks vs ogryns are basically confirmed to me

After seeing that AdMech sniper I could believe they may do something like this for 40k, especially when it looks absurdly even for AoS.

Yeah, I usually like Aos models but that ogre is a really bad one.
I'm guessing they dropped this today because of the leak
Nah, Friday for the trailer and Saturday for the reveal was what was planned from the start.
The trailer is fire and the Scions are looking good but we already saw the models so that is no surprise. Not sure about the Vespids yet, need to see the models first but the change from the current bluish hue to the new greenish is interesting. Also one of them had a helmets that really doesn't look like the old controller helmet. More like a standard Tau Fire Warriors helmet
Also the drop turret in the beginning that was also in the rumours

I’d be very surprised if the Drop Turret isn’t part of the release. Sidekicks are a fairly popular theme in 40K and Necromunda these days, and why go to the trouble of conceptualising and animating something so cool if you’re not gonna sell it straight off the bat?
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?

Very nice, I hope the drop-turret-servitor is included.
Looking forward to Orks vs Ogryn more tho.
The drop turret was part of the rumours to should get a model
Yep. We have already seen it. It will come in a box of 4 with 2 controllers and 2 flavors of gun. OR, maybe that's a different gun, all together. I could be wrong and it will come with the Scions or whatever.
"Out in the lawless ruins of Hive Secundus, gangs can get away with using weapons banned in Hive Primus, such as the Trazior Pattern Sentry Guns. Programmed to fire indiscriminately at any nearby target, these weapon platforms will repel hordes of Malstrain Genestealers. This box builds two sentry guns with twin grenade launchers, two with twin heavy stubbers, and two ammo crates and control consoles. "

That's for Necromunda, the Scion one will be part of their kit and looks a little more gothic.Servo skull in a little arched window as the central part.
Also single gun (probably an option of special weapons rather than heavy ones, but definitely including a hotshot volleygun).
From the cinematic we also saw the Vespid Strain leader, a sniper and a grenade launcher for them. Don't think anyone else particularly distinguished themselves as being more than a regular Vespid (but there might be a close combat/charging focused one).
Scions looked like they had a sniper with them as well as the drop turret.
The really suprising thing was that there seemed to be Pathfinders on both levels, and perhaps non-drop Scions.
I wonder if we'll see two mixed teams. Aquilons supporting Scions in a Tempestus team vs Vespids supporting Pathfinders in a Recon Coalition?

Ok we've got full confirmation on the new teams, but what do we think the terrain theme for this wave will be? They specifically mention the big cannon in the article.

That cannon will probably be a center of the narrative so maybe some heavy military terrain surrounding that super weapon?
I think one of the scions in the video had a pair of pistols, too.
I wonder, if they change up the options a bit, if they'll do some sort of homing
locator beacon carrier for either side for incoming reinforcements. The presumes strain leader packing a Fire caste helmet is interesting too, but could just be a cosmetic change.
