Slave to Darkness Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Off table support has been a thing in older editions, Im just gonna handwavium it as they have just bought the support on table. A lot more believable than 'Cawl the wonderful made it'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Wow these new Castellans models have me excited! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/10/10/the-cadian-castellan-wields-the-guard-like-a-finely-honed-weapon/ Quote Unlike regular Command Squads, Castellans don’t go into battle accompanied by a retinue. They move among their troops, issuing orders and directing fire wherever it’s needed, all while extending re-rolls to every CORE unit in range. Astra Militarum officers can all boost the effectiveness of their Guardsmen with orders, but the Castellan can issue two per turn. What's that hiding in the background?

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) The castellan article mentions he can be used by Catachan and krieg. teaser about multi-regiment kits coming soon? as for the tank it looks like a baneblade to me.

Came to post the same, the tank is not something I have seen before and could therefore be a sneak peek at the new tank rumoured. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 The dorn is rumored to have two battle cannons. it may just be a redesigned baneblade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Sneaky gitz!! The new tank (is that’s what this is) looks like it’s gonna be awesome! From what I can make out the chassis looks more rounded than a Baneblade. I’m hoping Inquisitor_Lensoven is right and it’s a duel kit! I suppose it wouldn’t be too difficult to include a rebreather head! Things are getting exciting now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ming Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It's probably just going to have two turret options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 All I know is I’ll be very disappointed if the dorn is so close to a baneblade in aesthetics that a fuzzy picture makes it unclear what it is.

MrKoolPants Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Some exciting rules synergies are starting to pop up. Is it too much to hope that the Castellan will give a full to-hit re-roll, SM Captain style? If so, that’s a huge buff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much prefer a straight stat buff of +1 to hit/wound or +1 to random shot/damage weapons rather than constant rerolls Might just be an aesthetic thing, but anyone notice the lens/optics on the FOBs? Maybe some sort of targeting/fire control device that will provide better BS than normal? the thunderstrike would be an example of precedent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Bretton Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Kasrkin sprues are up. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/10/11/our-operatives-have-secured-images-of-the-new-kill-team-sprues/ They look really good to me, loads of options and not much unnecessary junk.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Loads of heads so should be able to have all of them with fully closed helms (struggling to see too much detail on my phone). duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yeh the pics of the heads are the back of the helmet so impossible to tell. Like you said there's soo many of them having them all masked up seems possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Bretton Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It looks like the respirators are separate, counting numbers it looks like 12 respirators (so probably 2 hanging loose and 10 to fit on the helmets). Then enough helmets for 2 per body, so I assume that half have visors/goggles or whatever and the remainder are open faced. Also looks like there are multiple options for the marksman and Comms specialist as well duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenScorpion Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Looking at the sprues, the karskins seem to have a part layout somewhat similar to things like the militarum tempestus kits, which is both a good and a bad thing, potentially meaning they would be similar enough to be mixed, but also meaning that lots of stuff has poses that are only meant to work in a particular way or with specific bodies/parts. The tempestus have the option for beret or closed helmets for all soldiers, so my guess is that here we will have something similar but with open/closed helmets. Some of the 3-part weapon arms (for dual hand weapons) seem to fit similarly to the tempestus, which was of the downsides of that kit in my opinion. Lets see how these look when they are out in the wild and people start going crazy with them. duz_ and The Pounder 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I saw someone point out the new tank has a similar silhouette as the British Matilda tank. I hope it's not a direct rip off of that.

MrKoolPants Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 The more I look at these Kasrkin, the sexier they get.
