Well, butter my biscuit, I actually like these WAY more than I thought I would. Noted Scions-Disliker that I am, I'm kinda sold. The slightly tweaked proportions and extra straps are doing it for me. I just need to swap the heads out for some barret wearing options...

 

Also, the weird, bouncy poses on current GW jump troops look much nicer on non-marines with guns, feels more like a controlled touchdown.

 

Can't wait for the eventual "build only the stuff in the box" rules for these that made Ork Kommandos so fun to use. 

Existing Scions have worked like that for years. 

 

I remember running quad-Plasma/quad-Melta squads, oh yes...back in the olden days.

I like these quite a bit more than I thought I would based on the rumour, although I hope there's an alternative loadout for them. Jump Troops with rifles is fine and all, but if Scions are being made more of a thing they could do with a bit more variety of roles than just "infantry" and "same infantry but faster".

 

 

 

Models are nice, just sad (once again) for the WarCom crew that get their thunder stolen a day before the preview again. 

Its a bit different this time as its from a warcom mistake/accidental upload rather than a scoop

 

We can expect aggression at the next warhammer company paintball day :)

Well I'm sold. I've always liked the Scion aesthetic but hated that they replaced the superior (in my opinion) Kasrkin. Very happy to see the Scions going in a new direction and I'm looking forward to seeing the whole kit.

 

If the terrain is good I'll definetly get the big box. 

The trailer is fire and the Scions are looking good but we already saw the models so that is no surprise.
Not sure about the Vespids yet, need to see the models first but not sure if I like the change from the current bluish hue to the new greenish one. Also one of them had a helmet that really doesn't look like the old controller helmet. More like a standard Tau Fire Warrior helmet

Also the drop turret in the beginning that was also in the rumours

And now I'm hyped. Scions look like they will be cool. Did it look like the sergeant had a power katana to anyone else?

 

Vespid with special/heavy weapons is very interesting.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow's preview alot more now.

 

Not just because Im an Aliens stan but I love GWs current obsession with sentry guns

 

And dogs

Yeah. That sentry gun looked scary, particularly when it got lit up by lightning. That was a  proper horror movie beat.
