In terms of straight up replacements / supplements for Cadian kits, I'd wager they are just the ones called 'Cadian' on their boxes. So I'm not expecting a one for one of Kreig Heavy Weapons or Field Ordnance Battery, however I can see GW inventing a new data sheet like Seige Ordnance Battery, with different weapons on the sprue. I'm also interested to see how things go with the killteam sprue going forward. Knowing the Killteam will be 'legended' in the not too distance future, but that it contains things needed for a command squad (medic, radio guy) I wonder if it gets repacked along with another sprue to make a five man command squad.

Interesting thought there if the dkok kill team sprue gets repurposed for use w a bespoke command squad sprue

You might be onto something there. The demo guy would work quite well alongside a minefield marker, if that's on the sprue with the the flag.
You've also got a chest with medals and a grenadier skull helmet for the officer (like the old steel legion).

Blood Angels stuff going on preorder next week. I'll be grabbing those dice and one upgrade kit, the rest of it doesn't really appeal to me. Perhaps I'll also grab the new Lemartes at some point, if he blends in well enough with nuBeakies (ie isnt too tall)

Sounds like it would be a good match anyway, with the somewhat crouching poses.

Coming Soon: Marinecasts!

Have to bilk people for the individual kits before they release the Combat Patrol....

Yeah, I'll be waiting for the CP. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

Given people have seen the Supplement from the army boxes, and I believe the books list the Combat Patrol - what are we expecting to see in the new BA CP, when it shows up?

A discount on buying SG, the new Captain, and retreaded Assault Intercesssors?

LOL

Six SG makes the new Blood Angels CP feel really weird and not exciting. I just don't get why CP design is so dull overall compared to Spearheads in AOS so far.

In case you haven't seen it yet the new CP was already revealed


Also here's the link for this weeks preorders, in addition to the BA the Sisters and Genestealers newest characters also get individual releases.

It's got the new Sanguinary Guard and Captain in it. It seems pretty good value, assuming the SG and captain prices are in line with other similar units. If that's the case you get the Assault Intercessors virtually free. The only problem with that is Assault Intercessors are one of the most commonly available models in SM right now because they're in almost every box. They're also not a unit you really need more than about 10 of, total. So the CP is good value, but in a very weird GW-style way.

It is pretty shady not to release it at the same time as the individual models, IMO. Not sure if that's just standard practice from GW though.

I'd like to say fairly standard, through 8th and 9th it was common for the combat patrol to not release until months ~3-6) after the rest of the range was out, but I feel like it became common more recently for the CP to come within a shorter span or alongside a range update, though I haven't done any research to verify that.

New Valrak rumours, actually some interesting new stuff this time:

Something new for Eldar Corsairs. Yriel, a new Vyper kit with new weapon attachments (not sure if new model, completely reimagined or just reboxed with an upgrade sprue), Jump pack Corsairs with laser weapons (apparently in the style of the old FW Corsairs) and a Warseer? type character are coming for them. Not sure if at the same time as the Craftworlds stuff or at a later date

Krieg is also getting a new big artillery model and a horse riding HQ in addition to the previous rumours.

Considering they updated the bikes I would think a totally new Vyper kit would be more likely than an upgrade sprue. It was actually surprised they did the sniper-bikes rather than an updated Vyper kit way back when that set went out.

The Eldar range has two ways (maybe more) to mount heavy weapons. Side-peg, as used on WS and falcons and the old viper (although it doesn’t actually use the peg), and the bottom mount, used an war walkers, wraithlords, and at least the old guardian platforms. Not sure about the new guardian kits.

The vyper also has the old style on under-bike mount for it’s secondary weapon (twin cats vs cannon)

So a change in how weapon attachments work is relevant, as there is a lot of changes since it first came out.

If they do redo the Vyper, please give it the "fighting platform" option back from 2nd ed...

Honestly I'd just like to see the model feel balanced. Right now when you look at it there's a huge canopy, seat and rear gun but almost no real engine or body of the bike itself.

WHC has free datasheets for the units from the new Kill Team box for Warhammer 40k - details here.

I suspect if there are corsairs coming, they could well be in a separate book of aeldari agents? Shove Harlequins and Ynnari in there and it justifies its existence imo.

Or just a KT release for starters? Winged corsairs fit the current theme. Better then swooping hawks would.

How all the eldar factions work into codexes is a bit of a mess.

I'm hoping for a new viper that is built on the same frame as the venom and harlequin speeder, like how the jetbikes are all similar bases with race specific elements.

And whilst they’re at it? Ensure the Vyper can have a free pick of shooters for its hull weapon.

If they are redoing the kit, obviously it’s going to be restricted to what’s in the box.

I would like to at least get scatter lasers added to the options, with the twin cats and the cannon. That reminds me. We need the cannon back.

Those 3 would match what are underslung on craftworld bikes, so a decent mix.

It would be interesting to see them do a cross-eldar light skimmer that would work for harli/dark/craftworld. With all the options.

Bit sad the Scions can only have one special weapon in there, but they pretty much gave the Carbrines the stat I always wanted for Hotshot Lasguns in general, so, yay?

Edit: Three weapons, I guess, with the servo-sentry and the sniper, I guess.

People still fall for this nonsense?

Just throw a dart at the list of finecast/ancient/squatted FW models and presto, you have his "rumors". Then add list of disclaimers and hedging 3x than the "prediction" (to cover your ass when you inevitably get things wrong) and you're good to go. Eldar are trivially easy with this, because you either have release that is lord + aspect squad (finecast + ancient) or Yriel + Vyper (same). If it turns out GW didn't do obvious thing this time and it's say plastic Hornet (drawn from squatted FW models Eldar list)? Simple, make excuse you thought it was Vyper with upgrade sprue (something he literally did multiple times in the past) and easily impressed children crowd will eat it without lube and claim he was cOrReCt forgetting every single detail was wrong

To demonstrate, his last "rumor" was Armoured Orks (completely wrong, light armor, and he overhedged thinking blatantly easy guess in last resin unit, tankbustaz, won't appear here due to lack of vehicles so went super vague in case it was scarboyz or something but how incompetent you need to be to not recognize such iconic unit as tankbustaz from even most blurry photo or vague description) vs Ogryns (doubly wrong). But he claimed ratlings (take a guess, what is last IG resin unit?) will be later too so usual crowd will claim he was rIgHt Nostradamus style despite getting every detail wrong

Krieg is also getting a new big artillery model and a horse riding HQ in addition to the previous rumours.

Sooo, two of the most obvious squatted FW models?
