Aren't the Warriors coming out of a piece of Necron terrain in one of the pictures?

I don't think that's a kit, I think it's just a conversion or handmade.

I quite like it, but it's waaaayy too stark and geometric for a GW kit nowadays.

New raptors? I don't remember them having so many TacRocks.

The old kit has a tactical rock on every model.

Well these seem interesting
But no idea how it makes sense to have the Nightbringer in Kill Team, especially since the other two teams aren't necrons?
Maybe as a PvE boss?

You've missed the most important bit - That we're finally getting a new Nightbringer sculpt! I don't care what it does in KT.

Oooooooooooh!

Whoa! This was entirely unexpected! I am so down for that new Nightbringer model. And the new Raptors upgrade sprue looks sick.

The new Nightbringher looks okay, but lacks the sense of menace the old version evoked. One of those cases where less really is more.

Well, sort of. They're different, these guys are in some cases standing on several rocks not just one, and the others are bigger. Thanks for the blunt response though, just love getting those. Didn't address the question either

It will be interesting to see the new guy in a 360, he might have a better angle.

I just hit the GW web to look at the old guy again. It’s been forever since I saw one across the table. He was less impressive then I remembered.

Both are nice models, but I do like the new guy more.

Personal opinion, obviously.

Star god with added swirly gak.

What have you done with your guns, Sisters? Bad enough that the Khorne vs. Ecclesiarchy side had the BFTBG dudes packing more firepower, now the Sororitas seemingly share a handful of pistols and crossbows between them!

Loving the coifs on the squad leader and banner bearer, though.

Can you even be a god these days without swirly gak?

Interesting updates. Still a little surprised the Night Lords are just going to get a KT army slowly but surely.

Sisters KT is pretty good. Looks interesting.

What Sisters were really crying out for was another melee Celestian unit.

Uh oh, more flying units. My guardsmen are not looking forward to flying Space Marines.

They fly now? They fly now!

Also: from over at BaC

Sisters killteam is okay, would have preferred bolter sisters with an upgrade sprue similar to how the hearthkyn salvagers were done.

Maybe I'll feel differently after I see some more pictures, but right now I really dislike the new Nightbringer.

There are parts of the cloak that look like gaps from poor assembly, but looking at all of the AOS-like swirly gak towards the base I'm seeing the same patterns, so maybe it's intentional? The fact that I can't really tell either way is not a good sign.

The face is ruined by the nose.

I really wish that GW would understand that less is more when it comes to good design

Not my attention to be rude. I misread what you were asking. My apologies.

I think a lot remains to be seen about this KT.

It's certainly possible for them to mess up with Celestians- they always were a bit of a strange unit, so I think this set of models will look to somewhat reinvent their battlefield role; Sacressants fill the old role well enough that finding a new role for this unit should be the way forward, but you never know with GW. The get a fair bit right, but sometimes they miss things that seem really obvious to the rest of us.

An early Nova reveal...hmmm.

Okay, now I want to whip up a Jason & The Argonauts mission with a Wraithknight. If we're going silly with Patriarchs and C'Tans then the sky's the limit.

Nice models though.

They did the same thing with the Void Dragon(and to an extent that new named Skaven Warlord). They put some of the digitized rectangles where the part joins would be to better hide the seam. The gaps you're seeing are intentional design choices.

Maybe he's so angry because he's searching for his Lost Nose!

Or maybe he sliced it off with his scythe.

Either way, he's kinda goofy looking.

Rushed Warhammer Community article, promising we'll see the new Kill Teams tomorrow:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/ivigo0zm/the-ctan-shard-of-the-nightbringer-rises-from-its-tomb/

Worse yet, the article reveals that this C’tan box was the culmination of the Tomb World season. This leak ruined the surprise build up of this upcoming season’s story. That’s a shame.

Also, this leaked box won’t be out for 10 months or so.

Also slightly odd that we're getting a story with Necron terrain and boss monster when the faction was the poster-xenos of the previous edition of 40k. Maybe we'll get hive ship terrain and a big ol' dominatrix bug for KT when 11th edition 40k comes out and the Tyranids are no longer the focus.

I'd've liked the return of the dual-wielding 'foot seraphim' that served as a Canoness' bodyguards back in second edition.

Here we go...

Heh. You can tell they are a little salty about the leaks.

I have to say, very nice looking KTs, both the sisters and chaos.

Seems like there's been a lot of leaks at GW HQ lately.

I mean, it looks kind of that in most of the artworks since the beginning.

Um.. what else is more important? Artillery teams? A Nemesis-Knight sized Exo-armour? Super-heavy tanks?

Okay, I'd like Frateris militia.
