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.

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.

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.

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.

More solid and hard wearing robust than a flying stand though

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.

I mean I get it, just don't like it much, personal preference and all. tiny gripe really. I'll probably flight stand it to the  same height.

Probably not too hard to drill it and use a flight stand on it at least.

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.

Drone becomes Wargear, Probably to get a One-Turn Fall Back and Shoot or similar ("Place an Observation Drone token next to the unit. Remome it when you use this ability")

I think I'm in love.... :drool:

 

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.

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. :laugh:

 

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.
