A Deathwatch Kill Team for the game Kill Team is long overdue, heres hoping!

1st.  Cap with deathwatch symbol
2nd. Astronaut
3rd. Egyptian head dress
4th. Tricorn
5th. Top hat ( not too big is it )
6th. Wizard/Witches hat
7th. Excesively bigger top hat
8th. Harlequin hat
9th. Pirate hat
10th. Cowboy hat

 

I made bold to differentiate who wore the hat ( might be a clue in itself, but probably not.)

 

1 is kill team, my guess is the other side being 3, 8 or 10 ( with wich I mean; Necron, Harlequins or Exodites vs Deathwatch )

 

2. is Leagues of Votann, obviously

 

3. is Necron if 40k and then probably kill team (as per rumors) or end of edition campaign stuff, otherwise its Tzeentch for AoS (less likely), or Tomb Kings for TOW ( very possible )

 

4. likely goes with 9. the rumored Corsairs release to kick off the end of edition campaign ( or the huron blackheart to do the same, maybe both )

 

5. Is Chaos dwarves for AoS.. mostly because of 7

 

6. could be almost anything, if AoS I'd take it quite literal, if 40k I take it references psykers I guess ?

 

7. Is chaos dwarves for AoS, not because of the type of hat, but because the context of bigger hat = better

 

8. The obvious one would be Harlequins, however, it could also be (more likely) a Flesheaters court Jester or representative of the Necron deceiver for the End of edition campaign.

 

9. likely goes with 4

 

10. The only reference I can think of is Exodites, because the reference to being dinoriding space elf cowboys is often made, including by Jes goodwin.

Exodites come from the rumor source that had said Deathwatch vs Necron... but 3 kill teams ?  Only if its one regular box and one special one like Ashes of Faith.

While typing, I guess it could also be COW boys... and that its either hashut or Lumineth for AoS... this is more likely perhaps

What about the traffic cone at the very end?

VLC media player support for armies with the necessary software

It'd be cool if you were able to customise the marines with 'chapter' marks like the old Legionnaires list. Probably get into the idea that all these marines have their own kit but also backgrounds.

I completely missed that one, video stopped before it for some reason.

 

Obviously ( not even joking ) thats Custodes for Horus heresy ( maybe even Legion Imperialis... actually I think the rumored war in the webway box might be for LI instead... Talons on one side.. ruinstorm on the other ? it might fuel some LI fire if they did that.)

 

Or its slightly more subtle speedy spacemarines.. but I suspect the marine characters will drop on mondays.

[Indy Techwisp]

So some of those hats are probably teasers for stuff outside of 40k

[painting.for.my.sanity]

7pm on 18/07/25... not going to be able to watch this one - will be a tiny bit busy cutting my wedding cake at that time!

[DeadFingers]

Just had myself a shower thought about the astronaut cap thingie. Seen people say it's Votann, and they might be correct, but allow me to raise an alternative possibility.

Eldar? Coneheads?

 

Isnt there some meme about the Iron Warriors or Fists and traffic cones too?

IF it is chaos dwarves do you think it's just for fantasy?

They're for AoS.

I figured... but I can dream.

Ofcourse, its 7 systems on show... I also dont think those that are ( or might be 40k ) are all full on reveals either.

Listing the known/expectable things  for those 7 systems ( only minimally listing rumors here )

 

AoS - Flesheater courts
AoS - Nighthaunt
AoS - Chaos Dwarves
WHU - New warband ( according to a rumor  also Chaos Dwarves ( or Sylvaneth )
40k - Space marine thingies 
40k - Leagues of Votann
40k - End of edition Campaign
Kill Team - New Season box
TOW - ? Something...
HH - ? They teased something Admech and something Custodes previously.. more things will be plastic
LI - ? Gotta be something more to pump up hype for the game

 

Thats 11 items... for 11 hats ! Coincedence ??  I think yes ( but thats less fun for wild speculation )

 

this was the Admech tease btw :

 

Are there any pioneers ( cowboy hat ) or musketeers ( tricorn hat ) roles for admech in horus heresy ? though I wouldnt expect whatever this is to predate the Custodes plastics.

[Marshal Rohr]

The Astronaut is Solar Auxilia

[Corswain]

Might be a decent preview. Their last few have been great so I'm just hoping we don't see them move backwards towards over-hyping.

 

Looking forward to it in any case.

Solar Auxilia what, though?

It might be a bit strange to reveal them for Horus Heresy when we've head teasers of upcoming stuff, none of which involved solar auxilia. I'd expect those to be first. 

 

And then for Legionnes Imperialis they've already got quite a substantial range

First things first...

TF2 crossover confirmed! My Burnas are getting sick headgear!

That means that internet traffic following the reveal will crash the GW website. Again.

 

On a slightly more serious note, I wouldn't put down the jester hat as a slam-dunk for Harlequins. Even ignoring the Flesh-Eater Courts stuff they could lean back into that Nurgle Carnival thing they had for Mordenheim and use that for AoS somehow. God, Harlequins need *something*, though.

 

I really hope that the cowboy hat does represent some dino-rustlin' Aeldari, though. Either that or they are doing gunslinger showdown 2: Electro Priest Boogaloo. After the Hexmark Destroyer and *checks notes* Kelermorph faced off against the Sydonian Cavalry, perhaps we will get more? An Eldar with a six-shooter shuriken pistol and a Tyranid on a horse (Dominatrix in 40k!).

 

Okay, I went back to silly again, didn't I?

The super heavies have new designs in LI and art, so 32mm Baneblade and variants I'd say. Also the Ogryns as stated above.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Pirates used tricorn hats and Falchions...  maybe for LI. ("Nice hat by the way, not too big, is it"...)

 

That's my wild guess, Hoping and Coping.

Mechanicum, Ad Mech is 40K :P

[TheVoidDragon]

I'd expect the pirate hat is a reference to Eldar Corsairs, which are supposedly coming. And then the other one would be for Dark Eldar?

[Interrogator Stobz]

I was reaching reeeeally hard.

Other theories make more sense. 

[Marshall Bretton]

I'd be really surprised if there was anything for tomb kings given they were the first army for TOW (alongside Bretonnians praise the lady). It seems far more likely to be necrons or a new army for AoS, maybe Abhorash finally making an appearance

Necrons sounds far more likely, especially considering the Deathwatch hat and it's supposedly a Deathwatch VS Necron Kill team.

I've been thinking that Admech's HH Teaser there might be a reintroduction of the Old-style Skittarri under a new name
