I expect the Krieg army set any week now

According to the list posted on TGA recently the Krieg set will be up for preorder on the 11th Jan. The Jan 4th release (announced tomorrow) should be AOS Orks & LI Mechanicum

Given we've seen reveals for the Guard and the Eldar, I think we can comfortably say the EC will be released after them - do we think they'll be about before the Imperial Knight book, though?

Their own roadmap was explicit in that imperial knights are after eldar. Rumours then pen chaos knights immediately after. So unless it's 2 books a month, April at the earliest for EC as a guess, so no need for GW to parade the whole range just yet, they may show off a new knight at LVO I imagine.

Army boxes don't count for the roadmaps, so it's very possible that we get Knights sandwhiched in between that and the full EC codex release. GW will also want to unveil the full EC range before releasing an army box, so I reckon LVO is the most likely time to see some/all of the kits.

Not long to find out either way!

Knights could cheat a model release by putting out a kit for HH, then adding it and the Cerastus pattern into the 40k book

I would not complain at all.

Well we already have rumours for a new questoris class knight with a shield on the carapace (and also something else for Chaos knights) but nothing says that can't also become usable for HH. And I really hope the Cerastus just gets to be part of the normal codex now that it has plastic models

Id really just like a dedicated despoiler and tyrant kit distinct from the loyalist versions.

Dedicated kits for those are unlikely but I could see them getting an upgrade sprue to chaosify their knights more. And since we have concrete rumours what kind of knight is coming for the loyalist codex but nothing specific for the chaos knights this might even be what they get this time. Would make more sense instead of releasing two new knights at similar time even if they are chaos and loyalist specific

Not sure they are unlikely.

Over there in Codexes, they’ve gone from “here’s some spikes, paint it in naughty colours” to “you get the same as Imperial Knights, and here’s some bonus kits because you rock”

I’d say a variant Dominus Class are the next logical step.

Aaaaaaand now I’ve look at Chaos Knights, and now I kind of want to collect them.

They could always do some of the Slaanesh knight classes from Epic.

Would be good synergy with the Emperor's Children dex too.

Sunday Preview – The Orruk Warclans get ready to unleash their Waaagh!

Seraptek Heavy Construct with Synaptic Obliterators

The Seraptek Heavy Construct is one of the Necrons’ largest battle machines. A surprisingly agile thing with its scuttling, insectile form, it canters across the battlefield firing synaptic obliterators and transdimensional projectors. This colossus is made of Forge World resin, and has rules available to download from Warhammer Community.

Wait, so they were just tweaking and rereleasing it (and maybe transferring it to new FW resin?)
?

Why the hell didn't they just tell people last week instead of letting people assume it had gone, some of whom will have gone to recasters now.

It's not like you were ruining some big hype reveal!

I am glad it's staying in the range though, the various Knight and above kits for Xenos aren't that likely to move to plastic any time soon and it would be a huge shame to lose them entirely.

Honestly I think that when one of the FW models for a mainline game needs a new mould FW have to go cap-in-hand to the Management to ask for the funds for one.

At which point they never know if they will or won't get approval and they can't do so until the mould breaks.


Which explains why sometimes things vanish and then reappear as if for no apparent reason.

It doesn't help that over the last few years they've stripped the FW offerings out from 40K often with as little warning as none at all; just waking up and "out of stock" turns into "sold out"




Griping aside - YAY its come back And officially too!

IIRC, the Seraptek used to be sold as a body kit and then there were two add-on weapon options to buy separately.

Looks like they have just dropped the singularity generator bits and now the unit comes packaged with the other option.

The cynic in me is waiting for the other load out to be deleted from the datasheet if the model is now shipped with a set of named guns and the other ones remain out of production. Not a huge issue to run the model with only 1 wargear option, but as annoying as it ever is when expensive things get deleted.

Or they could maybe do MTO runs of some of these less popular parts? Or just keep them in production, and maybe get around to some of the other weapon options that have been missing for years *cough*titan mounts*cough*

Is it too much to hope that they’ll tease more EC for new model Monday?

Probably, they’ve been on Wednesdays so far and LVO isn’t far away where they’ll probably maybe show off more. New Model Monday is almost always Necromunda and/or Blood Bowl and/or The Old World.

Given that we got the store anniversary models?

Yes.

Is this it now, a weekly gnashing of where is a fully army reveal of something we have 0 idea of when they're releasing it and obviously is at least 4th in line?

So to jump the tracks.

This mad lad?



Harbinger of a new Space Hulk game?

That would make a lot of sense! Certainly has the same sort of look the last Space Hulk game did.

What is the Stealer holding on to?

YAY Tyranids get an anniversary model!

What's left of a Blood Angels Terminator.

Thanks!

I see it now... I couldn't see the inset photo on my phone.

I'm sad the body isn’t a Primaris Lieutenant...

It would be nice if it had a boardgame to go with it!

Seriously, first its Arks of Omen and that bloody Kill Team thingy, then its the new Terminators and Genestealers kicking off 10th edition and now this poxy Genestealer. Its got to the point where I have enough genies on the pile of shame, that I might as well have a bash at a DIY project instead. A box of Chaos Terminators, and even pinch the egg timer out of the kitchen draw, and I'm practically there.

I’m very happy to see a Tyranid / GSC model as the store anniversary this year. I will have to traipse up The Big Smoke to get one. Or maybe two, because how would I be able to chose which army’s scheme to paint it in?
