Kill Team Dead Silence. Tau vs Space Wolves

[EuroHobbes]

Curious at what the price will be seeing as it has no terrain. Those space wolves do look nifty but I'm not really a T'au fan.

 

I haven't seen any pictures of the sprue, will there be any helmets for the space wolves? 

 

Also...with Tomb World still unopened on my desk I'm not sure this one is for me...

Saw two people on reddit comment that their LGS price was 67.50 GBP.  If that's not including a 20% discount or anything, just straight GW MSRP, then a comparable unit would be the Heroes of the Chapter at about 71 GBP, which is priced $114 US.  Note I am not converting straight GBP to USD because that's not how GW does things, I'm finding a comparably priced item and seeing how much they charge in each web store.

Yeah, I do the same matching/deduction gymnastics, but to euros.

 

Which puts this box around €95...think I'll pass for that price.

Do you have any existing Phobos? Probably isn't too tricky to kitbash or proxy some of the unique Operatives from that as well.

 

As luck would have it...no :)

 

Have a buddy who wants the tau so depending on price, who gets the cards, Ill probably still get it. Just proxy for killteam probably, build for 40k

I'm excited to be able to pick up the Canoptek Circle solo now. Hate that I'll have to wait for the Stealthsuits, they look great

I'm also interested to see how the Stealth Team unit changes.

 

I like them. I have some XV-15 kicking around as well as 6 XV-25 and could see myself picking up some of these.

 

I liked the Apocalypse Formation that the example had a 'Command' team in XV-15 because it was smaller.

well now we know why this piece from codex was cropped. I thought it was just a reiver.

One of the Reddit posters clarified that this is indeed list price, not including 20% discount, so I think we can safely dial this in at 100-115 USD.

Do they typically preview Warhammer 40K rules before pre order?

No. They'll preview the Killteam rules, probably. They released the 40k rules a little bit before the individual Kill Team's box comes out. For example, the Decimus Killteam only came out a week ago.

 

I'm hoping they preview the Wolf Scout sprue this week like they did for the Deathwatch.

Havent really been paying attention, but I think it jumps around when they give out the 40k rules right, there is no real "pattern" ? ( I think goremongers and the sanctifiers where before their seperate release ?)

 

Now that they have faction packs I can see them trying to link it all to a faction pack update ( wich probably includes space wolves and tau, as they werent in the previous batch ).

I could have sworn I'd read somewhere there was a second round of faction pack updates coming shortly after the world championship, but I cant find an article focused on the last round to begin with.. so maybe it was inbetween another article, or I am mistaken.
