Maybe a giant bullet/missile centerpiece terrain

Really excited about vespids. Tau Auxiliaries finally get their time in the limelight.

Let's hope that more of them will follow.

I like the jump jets, reminds me of a mix of the old rogue trooper jet packs mixed with elysians

There's enough teams already to keep me busy for years, if I want to paint/play something new. More than in new teams, I am interested in the rules changes - what's improved, what's unnecessarily worsened, GW-style.

Cool one

The guy to the right in the middle reconnecting the cable from their backpack to their gun after landing makes me wonder if there is a difference between the traditional scion/Kasrkin helgun and the more portable ones with the blocky powerpack.

Might just be a cool moment in the video though as they weren't labelled differently in the leaked pics.

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.

Probably the factory-line they were fighting over once they dropped down. A bunch of gantries and Minitorum Containers.

Huh, I thought they would be Elysians but I guess Scions are good too.

25 mm base? I must understand if they are in the same scale of old Tempestus or they are bigger as Kasrkins. I hope the first one..

They are cool, but i prefer less gothic stormtroopers. Like this Phantine Skyborne I've build from scratches some years ago (for Shadow Wars):

Interesting but depends on the contents revealed tomorrow. If they get shaped down into a decent value £70 starter set then I might give Kill Team another thought.

I bet the Scion Jumpers will be on 28.5mm bases

At least.

0% chance that's a 25mm

There better be more than one type of Vespid.

Yes! A Vespid split-squad like Corsairs or Arbites would be preferrable to a single unit box, but I think it's unlikely because the Tau dex was still fairly recent, and if we were getting two units, that's some pretty bad timing. And I know, GW has made other similar timing mistakes, but the sales impact can't be lost on them.

I like the Scions, and I'm definitely getting some... But if they had been Elysians, I would have been over the moon, because I was hoping that the Necromunda Tauros would get a guard makeover. If this team had been Elysians, that would be much more likely to occur. I suppose they could rebrand a guard Tauros as a Scion vehicle rather than an Elysian one.

Elysians would be great, especially since the Tarous is already out in plastic.

I'm just hoping for an elite specialist squad with the kill team options and a generic stingwings squad, similar to arbites.

I bet that’s what it will be - like the eldar corsairs

I can't believe no one else is going to say how cute the dropped auto-gun at 0:25 in the video is.

It goes without saying. Squads of those, please!

That was a huge twin barreled gun in the background! Macro cannon!

The Tauros is a Necromunda vehicle now. None of those models have crossed over into 40K and GW haven’t really shared designs across ranges for a very long-time now. I don’t think anything is going to happen with the Tauros.

Any news about rules changes? Because, once again, new models are hardly relevant to my KT gaming, new rules on the other hand very much are.

The rescaled Scions look brill. I'll be getting at least them, prefer them to my own kitbashes which used Necromunda Enforcer torsos. I just hope the new edition will have datasheet compatibility with the old edition.

Nothing so far, at least not from GW, can’t say for rumours.

The reveal show is 4pm UK time, so at the time of typing 4h 21, away. We should know more then

Or if we are lucky, a Marco Cannon.

Loving the Vespids, good amount of Tau bits in there to break up the organic shapes. These will look great next to the Pathfinder and Kroot KTs.

Solo and co-op are great news!

On the one hand the new Vespids do look nice. On the other hand I don't know how to handle Vespids that don't look derpy.
