I think personally I'd want to lean into XV8s and complement the Combat Patrol (admittedly the Commander is a duplicate but you could build it alternately and part of me feels these boxes should have a HQ?) Commander Stealth Team 2 x XV8 Leaves about £40 shy of the previous Christmas box, unsure what else I'd add.

I'm sure we'll get both at some point, it's a case of when. I'm not a massive fan of the other Marks but I'd like a few of each. I think I prefer the II to the III though. I'm hoping it's not too long as I'd love to dive in again.

Waiting to see if we get rescaled MkIV and Tartaros. Because they're my favourite Marks.

Intriguing. I think I must have about 7 or 8 tucked away but it does seem an odd thing to have two kits for. And well, the changes to composition. Maybe we'll see something pop up shenanigans-wise in a journal.

Huzzah! Although this does now raise the question as to whether a new kit is near.

Thank you. There goes my hope that Tartaros Command Squads at least would get access to fists and hammers (even if it meant an upgrade sprue for the suspected new kit), at least for now. I wanted to be able to take a wide range of weapons on my Command Squad. I suppose they could launch an upgrade kit still down the line with rules in either a journal or PDF (I know we're getting the Legacy Tartaros).

This is exactly why I was planning on a Moritat with a Hand Flamer and then maybe a Plasma Pistol (despite I believe not being able to use a Hand Flamer in 2.0 if using the Chain Fire rule, even for a single shot) as the character's idea was that of an Arsonist. It just seemed cool to me to pair him up with some Destroyer 'Vandals'. Safe to say, I'm not a big fan of fixed wargear for Counsels.

As someone whose favourite Mark of Terminator Armour is the Tartaros, little disappointed. I get they'll still have the options in the Legacy PDF but I was excited to see upscaled Tartaros with a full array of weapons (Power Fists, Combis, Thunder Hammers etc), even if they were sold as upgrade kits (still possible down the line I suppose). I haven't even really hobbied since 2.0 because I was hoping for rescaled MkIV and Tartaros as they're my favourites and what I want the bulk of my stuff to be.

That's sad as I really wanted one with a Hand Flamer with a squad of Destroyers (I know they couldn't chain-fire a hand flamer in 2nd but I liked the image of him being an Arsonist leading a bunch of vandals).

Oh man that's rough.

*Heavy breathing.* Wolf Scouts could be incredible, I'd hope for the option to equip the whole unit with Sniper Rifles (should have happened with generic Scouts) but also hoping we'll see some of the more unusual kit make a return. Old Wolf Scouts were packing Meltaguns, Plasma Guns, Plasma Pistols and Power Weapons on regular dudes.

We were Heresy'ing before Heresy was a game system. I was buying up those Red Scorpion torsos (and repeatedly cutting myself trying to get them off the casting gate haha) and shaving off the scorpions back in 5th.

I'm sure that image has been in the mobile card game for a considerable time. Not saying it didn't come from one of the black books. Would be good to see them though. I'm lucky enough to own one.

Just got in from work and able to catch up. Well, that's more than I expected to see announced. Excited for MkII, Assault Marines, Breachers (I like the Breacher shown has a drum mag too, reloading got to be a pain with that shield), really like the Rapier crew, may well be some decent bitz there for Counsels assuming they still exist. Interested that the Fellblade has optional crew, the FW crew were cool. Currently unbothered by the Saturnine stuff, would have rather seen Tartaros (my favourite mark) and/or Cataphractii updated. Will definitely hold out final judgement to see what they look like in person. Intrigued as to how list building is going to go. I hope that the more unusual armies can still be viable, I'd love to be able to field Recon Company etc. I'm probably still not getting back into the hobby until we see upscale MkIV as that's my favourite but some great stuff is coming.

I'm certainly interested to get better pictures of the miniatures even if they're not of particular interest to me as I'm a MkIV and Tartaros fan and am hoping their rescale isn't too far off. I could see myself picking some up though, depending on how they look when we can see them better. I would laugh if these WEREN'T the miniatures though (I do believe they are).
