Anyone here keeping an eye out for the new plastic Krieg release? I dumped this hobby a few years ago but had a glimmer of interest when I heard that they're finally releasing a new Imperial Guard army.

I have no interest in playing Imperial Guard, but I'll probably buy the Krieg box just to put some money on the scales and hopefully encourage GW to do more updates of old model ranges. Besides, Death Korps are badass.

Also lol @ that last sentence. We got a pro over here.

I'm 99% sure they already do get special privilege. Tabletop Minions I'm pretty sure got early release copies of Kill Team, and I think Nick mentioned someone at a PR firm connected to GW had put feelers out.

I suspect they just make sure to only do it for the influencers who aren't edgy or political in either direction. Tabletop Minions for example is calm as fuck and doesn't touch controversy with a 10 foot pole -- not even when all the other 40k channels are dogpiling for clout.

Edit: For example, Age of Sigmar 3rd Edition.

It's just a 10-man multipart kit that will initially be exclusive to the new Kill Team 2.0 box set in similar fashion to the Primaris Heavy Intercessors. The livestream of that reveal gives a rough look at the sprues. Enough bits are provided to build the entire squad as either basic guardsman or specialists with a variety of wargear and flair. With so many options, I'm guessing the individual kit will be $60, compared to the $45 standard Guardsmen squad.

I wouldn't count on Krieg versions of the Command Squad and Heavy Weapon Squad kits to follow up, but it seems to me that the one Krieg kit will be flexible enough to kitbash the units you want for your army. Probably won't cost as much as a FW resin Krieg army, but it'll still be more than an equivalent Cadian army.

Lol @ paying $6/plastic guardsman. Ppl will do exactly that, however.

Like clockwork, it will happen when tyranid Gaunts get refreshed. Though tyranid played get bent over the most financially.

Hey! I'm a Tau fanboy and I'll be the first to admit they're a bit of a punchline. Granted, that punchline likes to be delivered long-distance via railgun, but still...

Man they really have to give T'au something in their codex.

I don't know how Tau players are but Tau fanboys in the loredom/YT community are fucking atrocious.

Yeah I've kinda felt like the Tau are only half complete for a while now, the basic background and lore is done but nothing grimdark has happened to them yet (it be like playing a human faction from the dark age of technology, cool yes but kinda boring for 40k)
I've was kinda expecting next edition the Tau either make their own men of iron with the exact same result as the other ones, or one of the chaos gods to finally get some leverage on them (assuming the Ethereal mind control thing is still true despite what some tau fanboys claim, it would only take a few corrupted Ethereals to completely fuck them over), but no dice.

But how will that get people to buy more Space Marines?

Its worse. They've run head-first into the Imperium of Man. And I don't mean "Yay, we won the Damocles Gulf Crusade!" I mean "Holy shit we need something that will let us nuke a Hive City from orbit because we can't fight a hundred million humans in close combat." Trying to advance any further into IoM space is just flat-out impossible given how many Stalingrads full of people eager for holy martyrdom they'd have to slog through. The AdMech didn't even need to deploy that weird-ass Warp wall around Tau space.

I don't remember begging GW for new plastics, but I'm sure plenty do.

The latest lore has them creating a stable warp wormhole on accident allowing them to cut across the galaxy, and their entire 4th expansion army that was lost in said wormhole before it stabilized being what appears to be possessed by Khorne. And then the other side of the wormhole turns out to be right in front of a Death Guard fleet, IIRC. And that's all happening at the same time they're realizing their infiltrate and brainwash the Imperials with consumer goods trick does diddly fuck all to deal with a Genestealer Cult doing the same thing on Imperial Worlds.

The only losers from the current 9th Ed codexs are death watch. The Dark Eldar have had a hell of a codex. So far the codexs have been pretty playable with each other.
(Tho those deathwing and skittari are a little too good rn)

Hey that means the older gaunt models will end up cheaper on Ebay.

Has anyone seen the supposed Ork stat leaks? If so what do you think?
