You mean other than being shown off in advance of the KT reveal, shown as a 40k item, etc?

VINDICATION

It's still stupid.

And it's even dumber that it's Raven Guard as the punching bags. Should be Ultramarines or Fists.

This is the first of several that come to mind:

TEN scorpions in a box?

Very nice Striking Scorpions but not much in terms of options for Kill Team.

Those Striking Scorpions are the same 5 bodies doubled up with different arms/heads but they still look quite samey

They say the box makes two squads of five, so the box comes with ten dudes!

I love that you're mad that your precious Raven Guard are the focus of the box.

Eh, look repetetive lower halves on the scorpions. Marines are marines.

Kill team is mixed aspect, but with bonuses for going pure aspect (and perhaps a bonus for mixing too)

So anyone who was worried for Scorpions to be unfluffy can calm down.

God forbid the Chapter known for infiltration missions be used as the example Chapter for the unit meant for infiltration missions.

Interesting what they're saying thay you can add in a lot of different aspect minis.

Just to clarify this was meant for the Scorpions not the Scouts

Holy tactical rocks Scorpionman!

The only similarity is it has stilts. That's a very low bar if you consider enough to say they're "Ripping of" other creators. No one owns the concept.

You'd have a point if it weren't going to be the inevitable "they're skilled, but they're outskilled entirely!" plot hook they used for Damocles as well.

Raven Guard get used as punching bags for these boxes.

Separate terrain box? Nice. I like that

The scorpions are lovely models. Not anything I'd ever want to collect, but I like how they seem to finally have a great balance of not being overly designed.

They feel like proper modern versions of a 90s model. Even the tactical rocks are more subtitle.

I see they are splitting the kill team sets like warcry now, which means a huge increase in cost to get new sets.

That terrain box will be good for necromunda as well though.

Seperate terrain box:

bit disappointing that those walkways dont look like they are compatible with the existing sector mechanicus sets

New terrain looks great!

Finally showed the new Pegasus

Nice hopefully the new foot Knight heads fit on the old Knights

Foot knights also

Lovely new Bretonnians. Good to see a full range.

Pegasus is beautiful!
