No variety. They used to be a lot more interesting, not anymore. The fact they're not splitting the assault intercessors into 5s is appalling. Little Jimmy only has 3 elements to play with. The original ork one is koptas, dread, 2x10 Boyz and a warboss in mega armour - 5 elements. The new one is one unit of squighogs and 2x10 snagga boyz and beast boss. 3 elements. Personally the contents are killing it as a viable game. Hopefully spearhead continues as it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW seem to have really been churning out bland looking Space marines since the Black Templars (which were solid), or just anything with power armour like the recent downgrade of Corteaz. It must be some kind of management interferance on the direction they want the newer Space marines to go in, as Marketable super-cool future soldiers rather then the warrior monk/crusading Knights they used to be. Its not even as if 40K just has bad designs in generall as the new KT stuff looks great, the Kroot were fantastic and the Tyranids had a great refresh to name a few recent ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 The funny thing is that the blood angels look fine to me. I actually think they are as exciting/boring ad any other Space Marine release. I get that they are a downgrade in terms of intricacies but proportianly they are a massive improvement over their older renditions. But honestly I don't care about fictional weapon loadouts (melta, bolter, and flammer are not particularly distinctive to my eye) so like 90 percent of space marines could literally be the same unit and I wouldn't know 🤷 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonhel Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 19 minutes ago, Ejecutor said: I have to say that seeing them again made them look a bit better than the idea I had from the first impression. They are fine, nothing spectacular, but a solid upgrade and will probably sell very well. I wouldn't be surprised that the BA armybox is sold out on pre-order day and the combat patrol temporarily out of stock soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Shrek Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 In terms of rumor engines, we've seen stuff for Wolf riding gitz, seraphon, stormcast, guard, and squats, but nothing that seems to be cogfort or Chaos Dwarves, right? (Not that I don't think they're coming, but that would suggest they're further out? Or meant to be a bigger surprise?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chaos Duardins would be treated, in terms of REs, either as a surprise or have its own dedicated bunch once we are closer to the release date. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about World Eaters (very likely I have them in the RE site just as Chaos Space Marines), but Votanns also got 9 RE before their first wave. It was not a dedicated series, like the Dominion one or the Daemon Engine, but it was a decent number of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahrial Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I have no inkling of roadmap likelihoods. but CoS will get an undead militia with rifles. It will have both the Death and Order keywords. Probably the vampire keyword. SBGL will get a foot hero. It will be a new necromancer, but with a sword and the Deathrattle keyword. Seraphon will get another wave of minis, including Kroak’s son, Rybt. He will be a beefcake. Destruction will get a new wave of centerpiece models that can only be taken as mercenaries, not as their own faction. They will be really cool. Make Kragnos look dumb. Demons will be moved to 40K exclusive, except for the existing AoS exclusive demons, which will become their own faction and not able to be taken by anyone else. Skaven will be new Coalition allies for everyone, officially taking BoC’s role in the hierarchy. Within one week this will be selectively copied, pasted, and shared across discord and reddit as a sourced rumor, and make its way back here after being mentioned on a YouTube video. My prophecy is now spoken. Tremble at our fates. 4 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I think that the Blood Angel Combat Patrol is Okay, but I agree with others that if it included a larger vehicle kit it would make it an A-tier set as opposed to just a B-tier set. I was perusing the Warhammer site on desktop (Its layout and overall UI/UX experience really needs improved) and a few things stood out. Apart from a handful of kits, the SM vehicle line needs a complete update/overhaul IMO. (Would be fertile ground for some new concepts/kits) I also wish they would have the Marine kits in the Chapter colours under the different chapter sections. It's a small thing but it just bugs me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the generic kits in the generic SM category and only have the chapter specifics in the chapter chategories. Its way too annoying to find some chapter specifics in between the sea of generic kits. I know why they are probably doing this since some categories would look very empty without the generic kits but still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
