INKS Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I want those vespids, so much good info. free rules. finally. both sets of models look awesome to me. so I love this box set. sadly I won't have the funds to pay for it on release so hopefully i can pick it up later. sounds like the rules are getting more streamlined which I like. haven't heard anything I dont like yet.

Wormwoods Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Well, they look lovely. I'm a little sad to see the old spiky mitts getting toned down, but the heads are such an upgrade I can't stay mad. I'm interested to see what the squad is like in 40K, given it's yet another Killteam with way too many special weapons to be fully compatible outside of a skirmish game like KT. We'll see how that plays out.

irlLordy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Interesting that their weapons get better when they move, this is the first time we've seen it. Sounds like it will be a fun team to play, their crazy mobility (all models can fly) will be toned down by the fact you need to assign control points to them to get them to do mission actions/not shoot the closest model etc. Keeping the leader and control drone alive will probably be key. Fly by flamer also sounds neat.

Rusted Boltgun Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 As above, I think 'glass.cannon' was said at least three times in the reveal show and the use of communion (?) points will make them a quite intense team to play. Seemingly at odds with the 'more accessible' nature of this new edition.

sitnam Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Us T'au auxiliary fans are eating good this year. My Kroot are getting some friends very soon. I have the urge to convert some Gue'vesa, but I almost feel it is inevitable as this point that T'au get some through KT INKS, MithrilForge, Jscarlos18 and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383501-vespids/#findComment-6057444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Techwisp Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Considering they're straight up called "Vespid Stingwings" rather than any unique team name, I think these guys will be getting 40k rules that replace the current Old Vespid datasheet.

Yes I think so, most if not all kill teams get rules for 40k. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383501-vespids/#findComment-6057452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitnam Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I like how the Vespids seem way more integrated. With T'au tech then Kroot. I know the old sculpts had that aspect but these really play it up more. They still have unique weaponry but with T'au aesthetics. The Shadestrain is a cool concept.

INKS Posted August 17 Author Share Posted August 17 (edited) Dropping in some pictures Man they are awesome. I could see painting them up as like wasps or yellow jackets lol EDIT: for once I do not mind the tactical rocks except on the drone. Don't like it on the drone.

It's a Drone with Wings that I'm pretty sure the Strain Leader probably sees another Vespid due to the "Totally not Mind Control" Helmet. I mean, it's got to have "wings" for a reason. So to further sell this illusion, it's landed on a bit of Rubble like the other Vespids have.

Tastyfish Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Ooooh, those are NICE. Had the very same idea, wasps or hornets! It's a toss up as something a bit like that, or the Galactic Federation drones from Rick and Morty. I can definitely see the greens working nicely with classic Tau oche armour.

We'll see how that plays out. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Everyone has a Neutron Blaster. 1 may swap for a Grenade Launcher. 1 may swap for a Railrifle. 1 may swap for a Flamer.

Magos Takatus Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I think I'm in love.... The weird blobby coneheads now look chitinous and swept back, I'm really on board with that decision and the poses look so much more animated and alive than the previous models. I've got to belt out the Mechanicum I just started and my Kroot at a frightening rate to get these done in a reasonable time frame.

Magos Takatus Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) could not agree more. My only problem is now I want a whole army of these guys. lol And sadly that is just not a thing. Yeah. I got suckered into the Kroot and I'm enjoying painting them up. I'm putting that down to try to build, paint and sell the Mechanicum box set but once that's out of the way my Kroot will be closely followed by Vespid. I accidentally started a Tau Auxiliary army. Edit: Oops, I somewhat repeated my last post. I guess I'm just brimming with enthusiasm right now. I'm glad to have my hobby motivation back after a low period for a month or two.
