DarkChaplain Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 It's getting sort of tempting to buy a bunch of Terminators and Stealers to pimp that old Space Hulk boardgame set.... No, seriously, I love these. They're faithful, but far more dynamic and detailed, even compared to the various Space Hulk Genestealers, some of which had crazy poses.

Master Commander Ajax Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Genestealers were initially the unit I most wanted to see get an update. Seems fitting seeing as we’re getting new Terminators. A solid upgrade from the old kit if you ask me! Bryan Blaire, TheWarmaster, MithrilForge and 2 others 2 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually doing this, this and the new Assault Terminator kit is what I've been waiting for. I'll kitbash a heavy flamer and a shield captain and we're on :> DarkChaplain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinpact Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Yeah, Terminators vs Stealers seems like it probably isn't happening. Genestealers used to be able to take scything talons, didn't they? Although that'd make for a pretty anemic Kill Team upgrade. If they do have a nid kill team coming up I hope they get the whole bespoke treatment.

OttoVonAwesome Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Was really hoping we'd get the retro design back like the ones from the Deathwatch and Genestealer box set thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 The fact that all the biomorph heads are in the new kit seems like a good sign the Codex is going to bring back a lot of the options that the Index watered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed it for you. I am tempted to do just that. The Stealers have wonderful models. Really really cool. But before I do that I need to print a bigger board I guess...

ThePenitentOne Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I love 'Stealers; I'm ALWAYS happy to have more. I've got classic Space Hulk, current tyranid plastics, and recent Space Hulk varieties. I like using the aesthetic differences in 'Stealers to represent the various brood cycles of Purestrains. I'm thinking these will be "truescale" Stealers, thus larger, and I feel like that's good for representing the First Brood- an honour currently held by my recent Space Hulk plastics. Lots of tacticl pipes unfortunately but some of the dynamics are very dramatic, and I feel like carrying skulls gives them a sort of cunning and lends character to the unit. If I got a box or two of these guys, I might convert one or two to hold skulls, or otherwise display uncommon cunning- that coupled with any size differences should make a helluva First Brood. On a sidenote: I wish I'd found each of the classic metal stealers; I do have both the throned Patriarch and the charging Patriarch, 3 different Magi, a handful of hybrids and familiars in metal, but no Purestrains. tinpact and de Selby 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres been a recent tendancy to not do box colours for the kill team releases so I wouldn't read too much into that. If theres a new upgrade sprue for KT, they'll paint up a new squad to highlight them. On a side note, the classic genestealer paint job they showed off had a much more Kill Team-ish base I thought, and it would make sense to go with that scheme, as presumably this team would be based off the genestealers from the Gallowdark.

Any 'Space Hulk' Kill Team set will likely be something more akin to Ashes of Faith rather than a standard Kill Team release anyway.

Tyriks Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 These are a huge improvement over the old ones in my opinion. They still look like they'll get all tangled up in each other, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Lovely models. Dynamic pose. And I love the face-tentacle heads! C'thulhu would approve. I do miss the option of the Scythe-claws, though. They might not have a purpose in the game anymore, but it was a great way to show how malleable the genestealer phenotype was.
