Late addition to the article I think?

These elements are joined by a set of Approved Operations cards, which collect all of the information you need to play fast-paced Matched Play games of Kill Team in one convenient place. This is also where you’ll find all of your Tac Ops, Mission cards, and map keys, along with handy leaflets laying out six different terrain layouts for Kill Zones Volkus, Gallowdark, and Bheta-Decima.

Both the Kill Team Upgrade: Equipment Pack and the Approved Operations Card Pack are included in Kill Team: Hivestorm, and will also be available separately at the time of release.

Yeah! More power to my idea that Hellguns feed from both pack and cabled batteries, and Stormies pick and choose, and probably carry spare cables and mag-like packs to fit whatever missions they do, or have a mean to feed their guns if/when the cables are destroyed.

Also, Marksman Hotshot Rifle confirmed for Scions. Definitely grabbing the Drop Scions

Wow, talk about a glow-up for the vespids! They're beautiful, and I'll have to get a box when they're released separately. I like the guy with the stealth suit kit.

And praise the omnissiah, the shapes are gone! All hail the number!

Yikes. What happened to those female faces?

Over-shaded to emphasise shapes that a lot of women IRL specifically use makeup to de-emphasise. Also, weird camera angles.

Looking gooooood

They certainly look like they could engage Chaos Space Marines and not immediately fold like a cheap suit!

shame Tempestus can't be used as Brood Brothers. would love an excuse to paint a unit or two of these guys

If you like them, the. Paint them up and use them for something else.

You could use them as counts-as Neophytes- they have Deep Strike.

Any new addition to the Warhammer Pets range is a good one.

I wonder if the heads of the new Scions are smaller, even though looking the same than the old ones. Their proportions do look different. I tried some of the old Scion heads with the new Cadians, but they were too big.

I like the femal with the barret its a hint to the very old stormtroopers.

I think im gonna get me a box and strat playing kill team.
Bought the first box of kill team but never played kill team,
i used the terrain and the models for 40k

they don't feel like a good fit for that. weapon options and posing don't really match. besides, I already have a hundred Neophytes, don't exactly need more!

that's what I was thinking. even if I never use them in the army, I could use the box of extra hybrid arms I have to spice the unit up and give them some cult flavor

You always need more brothers for the for the swarm.

I need drop troopers in Legions Imperialis, GW read me please

Yep, they would probably survive those solid 3,5 seconds

I really like both teams.
The las pistols look bad with those power packs, but would be easy to cut.
The old scions are really hard to paint up good and do justice to all the details, and these guys look like an even worse nightmare trying to find contrast and definition between the gadgets and the bling.

Vespids looks really nice

Current Scions already have berets.

They mentioned a co-op game mode in the video. That interests me a lot. If the "enemy AI" rules are robust enough, that could be something I'd use when playing with my family.

They also said this mode would get a lot of online content too, so I suspect we'll see some bigger monster hunts too like War cry has. "Kill the beast known as Old One Eye and then survive the horde until Extraction" type stuff with a bit of luck.

Co-op could also be useful for trying out new tactics/combos?

That's likely true. Co-op rules would probably be easy to adapt for solo play.

I like Vespid, tactical rocks, new scenery, accessories and new symbols for 1, 2, 3 and 6. Recycling Vertigus scenery is minor letdown but not a dealbreaker.

I'm pretty sure at least a couple of those buildings are new, not recycled from Vertigus?

The ones with the flared buttresses are definitely new, and reminiscent of the Ryza-pattern fronteris habs or the Sector Mechanicus gantry legs.

It’s a small thing, but so glad they went back to inches instead of stupid symbols. My gaming time is limited and this kind of thing tends to just push me back to other games. Same issue for me with Warcry. The nearly identical inscrutable symbols for special actions was very unappealing/too much effort for no clear benefit (not to the player, but I suppose easier to make language agnostic cards etc for GW).

Oh no look at that combat gauge, they're switching to some weird arabic symbols for distances now instead of the clear geometric shapes, smh

Does one of their sculptors have a thing for leather straps? Because there has been a real proliferation of them across both 40k and AoS. I wouldn't mind but they've become quite obnoxious breaking up areas and running through primary places on the model making it hard for a colour scheme to shine through. Take the new Cadians who have those straps over their chest armour which should be a focal point of the model and the armour colour scheme or the giant one running across the universally maligned new Coteaz. A lot of leather straps on the new AoS Marauders.

I saw the straps on the legs of the Scions and almost thought maybe these wouldn't replace the current ones and be a separate kit just for making Aquilons given the leg straps that look reminiscent of those you see on parachutists. But then I saw the straps are just all over them and thought maybe it was a more general design ethos.



It's just a frustrating design motif since it blocks and breaks up surfaces you might want to have more prominence (Like the chest armour on the Cadians) and the obviously leather straps are hard to really be creative with paint-wise. Which, considering these are replacing an excellent classically modular kit with separate legs and torsos is a bit extra annoying.

It's called webbing and it makes sense for the Cadians to have it.
