I am still baffled they didn't do Terminators vs stealers for the spaceship terrain.

I kind of wondered initially, but then this game already exists with Space Hulk - and I think if I could play Kill team Terminators vs Genestealers or Space Hulk, I'd probably go Space Hulk as it's got stuff in set up specifically for that match up.

You wouldn't really be using half of the rules and the differences between the teams would be less pronounced, or you'd be tweaking the stats and numbers away from what you would have had in 40K/direct conversion to Kill team and Space Hulk. All of which means it would probably end up being a lesser game than either Gallowdark Kill team or conventional Space Hulk.

Doesn't matter if it is good or not - its sheer existence would get sales.

Unless those sales risked taking away from Leviathan the year after and Space Hulk proper a couple of years later, plus generating bad press of this new format "not being as good as space hulk" rather than "new space hulk terrain!"

**tauist**

I suggest everyone to try it. JointOps, use "TOUGH" (Brawler) profile for the stealers, determine a suitably nasty amount of stealer combined wounds, and get going. You could play any of the Gallwodark missions.

This way, you're not even limited to "only" using Terminators. You could realistically use any team which needs to deal with genestealers

The nachmund gauntlet book mentions world eater kill teams, but it specifies an interesting specific one with the "Axes of the Forge" who are a darkmech-aligned world eater warband.

Makes me think the world eaters unit will be some kind of darkmech horrorshow kind of thing.

Didn't Valrak mention in a recent video that he heard an unreliable rumor awhile ago that mentioned that warband as well?

**cole1114**

No clue, I can't understand a word he says.

Yeah he had mentioned a Khorne killteam before and recently thinks it will be the next one vs Grey Knights.

**Mr_Rose**

Small bit of news, not seen it announced anywhere, but the KT24 app was recently updated to include the “great gun fires” scenario pack.

**tauist**

I actually really like that "2+ to dash, if failed dash only up to 1" (BLACK)" special rule. I could see myself using that one all the time, it would make dashing a bit more risky so that you cant rely on a perfect positioning move every time

~~The WarCom link isn't working for me yet, but~~ the next KT box 'Blood & Zeal' is WE Jakhals vs Inquistion

**Shakalooloo**

Confessors are back!!! The Drill Abbot from Inquisitor is on the team! Praise the Emperor!

**Lord Damocles**

Those priests might be the most memberberries models GW have released in the last decade, but I'm totally here for them.

**The Phazer**

The missionaries are cool. The Jakhals are super boring.

Is that the existing Sisters statue?

Existing as in came out five years ago and went out of production, yes.

Looking at the missionaries, looks like they've re-canonised the idea of a missionary getting to carry a plasma gun, but then they went and gave it to the OTHER old metal sculpt, rather than eyepatch dude. Weird.

**Dysartes**

Definitely torn on this one - kinda want the statue and the Ministorum menagerie, but no interest in the Khorne unit.

**Mr_Rose**

Eyepatch plasma guy was a special character back in the day.

The wannabe-blood letters are neat, I like the bionic feet.

Not sure about this new card draw mechanic though. If it’s just a team gimmick that’s one thing but being some kind of scenario deal is another. Also, are the inevitable stand-alone boxes for the teams going to include the decks?

**lord_blackfang**

More Ecclesiarchy is always good, but the Khorne team... eh. There are already factions obsessed with cutting off their own limbs, think of something new!

Nah, he was one of the two regular missionaries. The special characters were Jacobus and Kyrinov.

**Cyel**

Very cool set,I like both themes included, and has the KT vibe I expect (no 10 identical faceless military guys in identical suits, but a bunch of characterful individuals).

I already have 6 teams, though, and diffusing the playing time I have between even more of them hardly makes any sense.

**Geifer**

Hmm, pretty mixed bag of miniatures there. The assortment of plastic priests is welcome and has a few nice models among them. Also good to see the statue of Saint C is available again.

But that wannabe Death Cult Assassin is dire and the tactical rocks on two of the claw boyos are just insulting.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Pics! Pics for the Pic God and JPGs for the JPG Throne!

Spoiler:

Confessors and a minor saint, not a loser in the bunch!

Spoiler:

And a bunch of Khorne guys who look really hard to build and store but would be pretty scary if they thought to pack guns.

Spoiler:

And a Jumbo Statue! Is that the same Jumbo Statue from the SoB codex a few years back or is this a new Jumbo Statue?

**GaroRobe**

Same statue.

The Blood Herald and Salvationist look good, but the rest just don't seem like anything special. I guess its nice to get Missionaries again, but overall, this feels like one of the most bland kill team boxes.

If only they had some Crusaders...

**Mr_Rose**

We got a male death cultist this time so maybe the eventual Crusader box will have a female sculpt?

To be fair, we already got a plastic female death cultist

Spoiler:

**BertBert**

Great to finally see some regular ecclesiarchy, with a couple of re-sculpts no less. Love the confessor and the plasma zealot. Even Josef from Inquistior made it.

There was a character who was very clearly supposed to match up with the plasma missionary though (the model post-dated the 2nd ed. Codex) - Cardinal Armandus Helfire.

**ArcaneHorror**

I love all of the models, but it is strange that World Eaters are getting two cultists units while the Emperor's Children don't have any.

He was meant to be a super-ripped Reacher-scale hunk of a man, which the hunched over man missing an eye and arm doesn't quite capture.

Some of the new EC codex artwork has little sword-armed mortal guys alongside marines towering over them. I'd bet on EC getting their own cultist kill team before their next codex in 11th.

Funnily, it seems to be a day of miniature angel statue teasers
