Also, weird that the Tempestus was not part of the Imperial Agents book. At least their own, old, codex had the Tempestus down as first choice for most Inquisitors.

I agree that Inq Stormtroopers should be the default footsloggers for an Inq force. I'll be interested to see if the jump killteam gets an agents data sheet before / instead of appearing in the Guard codex.

**Laughing Man**

I think daemons should be a technically there as well, given all the flying stuff they have access to still.

**semajnollissor**

And while the squats don’t have any jump pack troops in 40K, they can have them in kill team.

**cuda1179**

Yeah, I be super surprised if those jump squats aren't in the next codex.

As World Eaters are basically half a codex as well I wouldn't be surprised if they got some too. Fast jump-assault units would pretty much fit them to a T.

I think it'd be a bit much for world eaters tbh, combine +2 move with advance and charge, a 6" advance strat and access to scout for infantry and it gets silly.

6" scout, 20" advance and 7" charge turn 1. Not sure they need jump packs or bikers as-is.

Hey, wait a minute, Dark Eldar have Scourges. Are those jump packs?

**Overread**

Tyranids technically have had shrikes for ages just only as a FW model and now only as a single character "warrior prime" which I'm convinced is just waiting for a new warrior kit to join it with wings.

Manfred seems to be taking the term "Jump Packs" very literally.

Very literally.

Scourges have surgically grafted wings, not jump packs.

Oh, that's right, they have organic bat wings now. My old butt was remembering the 3rd edition ones with the mechanical wings and jetpack.

On topic, new Vespid! Looking more insectoid now. Have access to rail rifles and AFB. No idea what AFB stands for.

**JNAProductions**

Airbursting Fragmentation… Burster? I dunno.

Hellions want to know why they don’t make the cut? Skyboxes is too different from Jump Packs?

**Dysartes**

I'd've had those boards as closer to bikes than jump packs, from a style perspective, at least.

**StudentOfEtherium**

Hellions should count as cavalry (i believe they actually do in 10th)

**BorderCountess**

They are, indeed, MOUNTED. They're also T4, so definitely more like bikers.

They were classed as 'Jump Infantry' back when those designations existed.

Well BA is dropping next week and I am bothered by that transfer sheet includes 3 Succerssor chapters and 1 one them is wrong, Angel Encarmine which should have black wings and not white.

That's the least upsetting thing about the new BA releases, lol

It's a Death Company sheet. Looks like the icons have been modified to work on black armour. The Blood Angels symbol is white too.

Well should be still be black. Angels Encarmine are unique in that their Sanguinary Guard and Death Company have White Armor.

**chaos0xomega**

IMO the real tragedy is none of the transfers are for the Lamenters, especially considering that the recent fluff is that they have started suffering from the Black Rage

The real tragedy is all the newest BA art shows the SG with wings, even on this launch box, yet the SG have no wings....lol

**chaos0xomega**

That was last week's tragedy, no lamenters transfers is this week's tragedy

Maybe this box becomes the regular squad one (hopefully at 10 per!), while the current box just 'becomes' the command squad box.

The extra straps on these models look like they’re connected to the grav chutes, so I think these are intended to be equipped with them in every case. I’d expect the other Scions kit to remain the basic squad.

I think between having the command squad and also being the obvious footsloggers to go in the Taurox Prime, the old kit will likely remain in production until it's redone, but I've been surprised before.

**cuda1179**

What do you guys think the probability of Death Company losing the ability to take all power fists is? I pray it won't happen, but the sinic in me says they'll go to having "Death Company Weapons". God I hate those generic catch-all weapon profiles.

**Polonius**

I imagine the firstborn/primaris Death Company split wont' even be an option. It'll be DC and DC with jump packs, with options to match the primaris kits.
