Kill Team - Nachmund - Box and CSM Revealed

[Slave to Darkness]

If they did an Eldar vs Nid box they would probably show the new minis in the Iyanden colours for 'thematic reasons'. Id be cool if its Nids vs Eldar, would be nice for Nid players to get some more time in the spotlight.

It definitely isn’t Nids, though.

[firestorm40k]

Yeah, we already know it's Corsairs v CSM for this box (on a side note - if the terrain that comes with this is any good, I'll have the Corsairs up for sale as soon as I can get this set - when I run Eldar in Kill Team, it'll be using the new Rangers :D)

 

If/when Nids get a Kill Team set (which would be great), they'll be up against a faction who've not yet been represented in the KT sets so far - which leaves

 

- Marines (Primaris scouts???)

- Ad Mech

- DEldar

- Necrons

 

Given the background that has the Silent King basically returning because he doesn't want the galaxy stripped of life by the Nids, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the match up for a future KT box.

No, they've already said they've announced what's coming

[WrathOfTheLion]

In the CSM part of the forum, it may be the case that Chaos Space Marine troops get access to a two-handed chainaxe and possibly a psyker upgrade as well.

 

Perhaps that means if the other half is Chaos Space Marines, it will be a squad of their existing troop kit with a further upgrade sprue to add some more interesting things to it.

That's be cool. Cultists are fine and all but for something like kill team with neat specializations and stuff I find CSM a more appealing notion. Cultists are a bit mundane, especially compared to Corsairs.

But that would be a major upgrade sprue to a new kit thats already 45 euros ( though ofcourse its likely not all seperate kill teams keep to that price range.)

 

If the rumors you refer to are true I do agree the source of these upgrades could definitely be kill team.. but Id espect the "upgrades" to be seperate chaos marine characters in the kill team something like a lesser chaos marine sorcerer ( with book ;) ) and 2 marine sidekicks ( at least one with a twohanded axe option ), 2 possessed humans (spawn in 40k) and 5 Mutants that also make a seperate kit in the future. a similair setup I expect the corsairs to have. ( though integrated differently in 40k )

 

I wonder how long until we see more

[ThePenitentOne]

At the same time, I'd like to see cultists BECOME interesting.

 

We hear about cults in the fluff all the time... And not just Chaos cults- we hear about Imperial Cults too.

 

Rogue psykers, death cult executioners- these things received stats in 8th. Put them to use. I mean don't get me wrong, CSM ALSO deserve a blinged out KT. But I'd love to be able to take a patrol of Daemons and a Patrol of Cultists in the same way as Eldar can take a detachment of Harlequins or Corsairs.

 

My perspective on this issue may be different than that of most players because I'm a story guy. So I want a slow grow cult that stands alone which can be an antagonist to my sisters in an escalation crusade. I'll be using BSF models and rules to make it happen whether GW does it or not- thankfully 9th isn't so different than 8th that the BSF data sheets don't work. But I'd love to see them reimagined, updated and expanded.

 

Note: GW didn't get the keywords on Knosso Prond right, so you can't "officially" use her- I wish she had received the same treatment as Pious Vorne or the BSF Admech model that got imported into the dex. Similarly, the Cultists of the Abyss Keywords and unit restrictions make them awkward. So they all do require some house-ruling, but they are workable if GW chooses not to do it right.

[WrathOfTheLion]

There might be a practical point there though, a KT box with cultists sounds maybe a bit too expensive in actual price point for a squad of cultists.

 

As for the mixed squad, GW has been pushing to ensure the KT stuff is also usable in 40k mostly, I don't think a squad with some marines and some mortals will quite work out for that.

All the Kill Team Kell Teams have been all new sculpts so far so Id say itd be the same again (not just an upgrade sprue)

[WrathOfTheLion]

T'au Pathfinders were an upgrade sprue to their existing infantry bodies.

Tau pathfinders were an upgrade sprue, I believe.

Damnit

Cultists don't have to be mundane, especially given how the previous box teams worked. Novitiates and Veterans are pretty generic choices on the 40k table, but in KT they are made interesting. Novitiates don't get any of their special melee weapon options in 40k, despite the variety in KT. Cultists could be made pretty interesting in a KT format.

 

I'm just not sure how CSM would fit into the pattern the last two boxes have had. The CSM kit with an upgrade sprue isn't an exciting option imo, and doesn't really make sense for the patterns these boxes have had

 

There might be a practical point there though, a KT box with cultists sounds maybe a bit too expensive in actual price point for a squad of cultists.

 

Same could be said for Veteran Guardsmen.

Showing off more corsair models!

 

 

 

All of these look pretty sweet to me. But ultimately if they don't have some customizability it will hurt them a lot. I don't want two or three identical guys loosing a hawk in my army so it may only have use as a one off unit or for bits

 

edit: idk how I feel about that double sheath thing for the knives on the sneaky looking guy

These are incredible. Honestly a great fusion of the various Aeldari aesthetics. The helmet on the not-Farseer is a little big but I love it.

 

These are always how I imagined the Ynnari would begin to look after some time.

Edited February 7, 2022 by Shield-Captain

[Tymell]

Something about these just isn't doing it for me. I think it's that they look more like someone just kitbashed Craftworld and Dark Eldar bits together than models with their own identity about them. Just my gut feeling on it.

[01RTB01]

They're lovely, look forward to seeing the sprues and the opposition

[Halandaar]

They look amazing; really great job of incorporating Craftworld and Drukhari aesthetics in to a single cohesive design. This is the direction I hoped the Ynnari would go when the Visarch came out; they even have the same sort of kneepad armour he has.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they're like the Kommandoz and Krieg; buildable as a basic unit but with the optional builds for specialists.

[Doctor Perils]

I'm intrigued to find out how kitbashable they are with both the Craftworld eldar and dark eldar - so far not sold on the bare heads but loving the rest :)

According to the article there seems to be options:

This glorious new plastic kit contains a host of options – as with the other kill teams released so far, such as the Ork Kommandos and Veteran Guardsmen – allowing you to build a dizzying array of individual fighters.

 

I like em!

Edited February 7, 2022 by Azaiel

[Karhedron]

That is a sweet unit! Although I am sure that the fluff for wraithcannons was that living Eldar could not carry them because of the risk they posed. Only the sturdier Wraithguard could withstand the backwash.

Really nice but the bottom left one has me chanting 'Ru fi o, Ru fi o....' (to be fair, needs more red in the hair for it though)
