Halfpint100 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 My guess, assassins? I see what you did there, you saw the opportunity and took it. Quickly as well!

Cheex Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Oh, that's interesting. So it's a non-Marine version of Index Astartes, then?

Mr4Minutes Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Interesting. So it’s looking like the white dwarf will be spotlighting a different army or faction each month, and not just space marines. February is a storm cast eternal faction. That’s pretty cool. For Assassins I’m hoping we get a special detachment for taking just one of them that doesn’t cost cp. Or a rule that allows them to be taken in imperial army detachments without canceling “chapter tactics” rules. And of course awesome strats and stuff!

Master Commander Ajax Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Fingers crossed we get rules for using assassins in kill team.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Wouldn't it be awesome if they repeated what they did in third and gave us a free mini-codex? Those were the days...

Shinespider Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Very curious what the rules meat of this will be. Fleshing out a chapter's rules is cool and clear - but Assassins?

Red_Shift Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've been looking to buy those but IIRC they came out either as part of a big box set or as expensive clam packs so if it's a reasonably priced box of four with white dwarf rules I'm all in.

necroscope Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I expect each of them will get at least one strategem. It'd be great if one could be an hq or something like that. Super unlikely just wishlisting here a new assassin model maybe the poison one.

ShinyRhino Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Probably a new Detachment layout as well, maybe? So you can take one or two without the obligatory HQ slot.

Dracos Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 While I love GW assassin models (not so much the Cullexus) I also love the conversion possibilities assassin’s give us.

Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If memory serves, a Q&A GW did a while back indicated that they'd be focussing assassins and Inquisitors into KT rather than run-of-the-mill 40k. I'd bet good money that this is a KT expansion, perhaps exclusively so.

gilt_imp Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 ^I hope so. While I would love an easier way to include assassins in regular/cities of death WH40K, I would also love to include them in Kill team. Even if it was just 1 or 2 either on their own or added to an imperial faction kill team. Imagine the themed teams we could create Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353328-index-imperialis-assassins-in-march/#findComment-5240647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet good money that this is a KT expansion, perhaps exclusively so.Eh, while inquisition certainly fits into KT, I don’t really see how Assassins could even make a normal kill team. Assuming their stats don’t get completely butchered in a fluff breaking way, you could never have more than 1-2 models. Some special game modes like whole kill team VS single Assassin boss etc would obviously work though.

In Shadow War: Armageddon (the late ancestor of th modern Kill Team) there were rules for one-model Kill Teams (like Sly Marbo). It might be something similar.

Charlo Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Personally hope it's for 40k - 'munda scratches my skirmish itch much more than KT does! Plus the rules are a little borked so would be nice for a fix.
