Unga bunga Exodites spear

This is the easiest one yet.... it's so easy that I would feel bad spoiling it for you.

Looks like an elf spear based on the shape. Could it be we are finally getting updated High Elf Spearmen?

or maybe woodelves? Looks kinda wood elfy to me, particularly in light of that druid-ish stuff we've gotten recently.

Maybe not a spear but some sort of ballista bolt?

Great to see some plastic wardancers coming up, just strange they could not have rushed them out for the arcane journal.

Is a shooter.



Solid shot but with maybe a plasma canister bit?

Votann have just had their stuff shown off. So….what gives!

Wait….have we had updated Squits for Marines?

It kinda feels like something for the Votann and could be a hero character or something akin to that. Which would be small enough for an addition.

They literally just had a decent sized release though.

Hence I’m thinking maybe updated Marine Scouts.

I'm thinking something Necromunda, possibly another Squat model/box?

Oooh, could be. But then, Neccy Squats haven’t long had their House Of equivalent, with no gaps in the line. Those tend to be (but aren’t universally) when a gang gets shiny plastics.

I'm going to go off the wall and say Custodes, maybe a new option for venetarii jump boys or some other lighter unit

Marine scouts were recently done.

Getting shotgun vibes. Imperial-ish as well, but not a main faction? Necromunda is the only thing that comes to mind.

Could be the rumored Wolf Scouts.

The gun is new but the straps are identical to what Votann use on shotguns.

It's an option for various HH Marine characters and units but isn't in any upgrade set. Recon squads have them by default and there it looks quite different - but it's an old resin kit and we've seen a lot of design changes.

Do any marine gun straps have that much slack? All the ones I can think of are fixed length, or just a tab of excess at the buckle. Some belts run long, but not gear straps.

At least that come to mind.

Didn’t they just recently get an update with the Kill Team set?

I would have thought that if it were from an imperial faction that there would be an Aquila on the big blank area near the muzzle.

Not if it is indeed Heresy?

After the Arbites pump-action-sniper-shotgun, I could see them try to top it with a sawn-of-plasma-slug-shotgun.

Looks Votann to me.

If it is a plasma canister thing.

It’s what it put me in mind of, but could easily be something else.

Could it be...Emperors Children, but with odd looking weapons?

Its a lot to hope for right now, but Harlequins vs Emperor's Children would be very welcome in Kill Team. Harles haven't had a single release in multiple editions, while Emperor's Children would definitely be a popular choice for many a player.

Looks too sensible and straight forward for any chaos force.

Could be from the most mythical army that will never be made: the 40k Alpha Legionnaire.

Some folks on reddit have pointed out that the design is a close match (aesthetically speaking, in terms of design language) for the Londaxi tribalest found in the Kroot Farstalkers set.



The look of the dvorgite skinner isn't too different either.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Tau40K/comments/1nch465/rumor_engine_kroot/

The Kroot comparison is bang-on, and pretty much settles it. With the caveat that it could be Gue'vesa or whoever sells the Kroot their special guns.

I think the Kill Team Pathfinders are somewhat close to being phased out of the KT legality rolls, so a new Kroot or Gue'vesa kill team seems likely.

Hmm, despite having different origins, both of the Kroot special weapons (tribalest and skinner) have similar aesthetics so it’s possible that reflects changes made (or requested) to the design by the Kroot to suit them. So I’d say even more likely some sort of Kroot accessory but why would they be using something that looks like a shotgun?

Load it with rock salt? Season and tenderize their food.

Kroot already have the "scattergun" as a shotgun-adjacent weapon, so I think those who have predicted a "super plasma shotgun" kinda deal are likely to be correct. Like a 1-per-squad special weapon type selection, that has design elements in common with a shotgun, but a better payload. Or I guess it could be a squad-wide weapon that is differentiated from the scattergun somehow.
