Did they say on the stream if it’s just heavy flamer, lascannon and twin stubber in the heavy weapons set?  Or are there more such as autocannon and heavy bolter also?

 

Yes they did. Very, very weird selection considering that they managed to cramp all the options into the Cadian set. At least the flamer is range 18 and D2...

Ofcourse you could say that it begs for a second 3-option set autocannon-bolter-mortar. Second wave release confirmed with the proper hellgun Grenadiers, Quartermaster and plastic Macharius Vulcan.

Confirmed where?

The Kill Team Krieg are 100% the normal Krieg infantry. The real question is if they will stay packaged as a Kill Team product with the KT upgrade sprue or if they get repackaged into a 40k box without the Kill Team sprue.

They are probably staying as a Kill Team product with the upgrade sprue for another year until they are no longer a classified team and then get repackaged without the sprue as a 40k box. I guess the upgrade sprue will then get discontinued unless it has some weapon upgrades that can be used in 40k?

They have wargear choices in 40k that come from the Killteam sprue.

I think the guy in the command squad with the pistol and chainsword is meant to be an officer, just going by his loadout, his hat, and his ornate (for Krieg) cuirass. The command squad is 6 dudes, rather than the Cadian 5 man, which makes me think that it's a "traditional command squad + lord commissar" rather than a "commissar with command squad," if that makes sense.

From the stream info that's a commissar cadet, 

 

But hes wearing a Krieg uniform so that's a lore problem

Krieg Officer is the guy on the left.

[DemonGSides]

That's the commisar cadet, according to the reveals.

Ah right, I had the Stream die due to technical difficulties and it skipped the section where they introduced the Unit.

[Robbienw]

They’ve made some odd choices with unit composition ,  no kreig officer,

 limited selection of heavy weapons with an out of place heavy flamer added in, engineers are an amalgam of engineers and grenadiers.  
 

Very odd.  The forge world kreig line was much better conceptualized.

 

Hopefully there will be more added into the kreig in a 2nd wave a bit later to rectify these issues.

With the amount of datacards, showing we loose some units to account for the new deathkorps units, 

 

I wouldn't put money on a second wave, I think that's it

 

Maybe in 11th

The FW resin Krieg are dead, long live plastic Krieg!

 

I’ll admit I loved the FW resin sculpts (that’s why I’ve been collecting them on and off for as long as I can remember) the Great War aesthetic was exactly what I was in it for. I’m sad to see them go and think they will be missed.
 

I find the metal bit on rebreathers on the new Korpsmen a little weird and annoying to paint but I’m sure I can live with that.

 

 I too am surprised there isn’t a Marshal on foot. I was expecting something like the Cadian Castellan.

As things stand I feel overall they’ve done a cracking job on these (they were never going to be perfect) and I’ll definitely be on board.

 

As a new range here’s hoping they sell incredibly well so we’ll get more new releases moving forward.

 

Hopefully they’ll produce enough so everyone can get the box on release day!

I've looked over these, and overall I think they are an improvement over the Forgeworld resin selection.

 

The Forgeworld kits were good, but they were also safe in their world war 1 aesthetic inspiration. These kits hold on to that, but they are also more strange and overall more '40k"

 

Big hit in my opinion, and I'm glad these exist. If I do a Guard army, these will be the kits I'll be using.

[Evil Eye]

I have mixed feelings on the line. The new minis look good but I do feel the redesign was a bit unnecessary? The Krieg aesthetic was pretty damn solid and didn't feel too at odds with mainline 40K; sure, you could tell a resin Krieger apart from a metal Steel Legionnaire or a plastic Cadian but that was mainly down to the increased detail permitted by resin- they didn't look like PP or Infinity minis dropped into 40K, if that makes sense. Like I say the new look isn't bad, it just feels like it wasn't especially needed.

 

That said, I REALLY like those artillery pieces. The one that looks like a "Hedgehog" depth charge launcher especially.

I think the new look is simply to make them fit with the Killteam Kreig that's the template for the range.

I think the Forge World line was a bit better, but like with many things going from FW resin to plastic, there's only so much detail they can carry over. This one is still a good line though, I quite like it a lot.

That is a brilliant miniature

[Marshal Rohr]

Incredibly weird they didn’t do a Marshal on foot to follow up with the poorly received Lord Solar on a horse. They must’ve been developed in tandem, so there was no room to fix it or change course. Very sad. 

[chapter master 454]

Certainly odd to not see a Marshal though maybe as many alude it may be a wave 2 sort of thing. We'll see how that pans out for them but certainly would love to have a Krieg Marshal akin to the Cadian Castellan. Especially if we can get one in the pose of the codex cover which comes from a great piece of art that I have above me on the wall. "Advance of 143rd Regiment".

 

Iconic.

 

Now the only thing left...Catachans. Give us a redo of catachans with their own stuff as well and we would be golden! Guard are certainly however starting to rival marines for unit options but despite their large options their units actually have purpose and design...not just straight bloat.

[TheTrans]

Absolutely love how dynamic the new Krieg Steeds are, but god damn... do the riders suck... they've lost the cool 'elite' vibe they had, with the single piece chest armour and the back mounted, grenadier styled respirator. The new masks just suck though I feel they are really showing the limitation of plastic by comparison to resin. 

Outside the horses, all of the non-vehicle/weapon models just have a very cartoony vibe to them (probably exemplified by how sort of gritty and realistic feeling the originals where). 

[lhg033]

I am surprised how much I like the horses in this and those artillery pieces are amazing. There are a few niggles/little details I would prefer at different but nothing I couldnt accept.

 

I would not be adverse to adding some of these to my collections at some point. The big factor that will put me off will be the cost to start a new army, Particularly a troop heavy one which would be what I would want to do with these.
