The stuff included in the box, possibly different armies. The answer I got to factions was cryptic, but there are definitely units we haven't seen yet.

Also, Primaris and the new Death Guard looks incredible in person.

I got to see the models today as well, and I'm all in on the Primaris Marines. The Death Guard were also amazing, overall I was really impressed.

I do wonder if a woman could transition to a baseline-enough man to become Astartes. I mean, if it's a matter of hormones, we can kinda fix that part now, much less 28k years from now. Space Marine bodies are so altered by the process already, it couldn't be that hard.

With that Orkz reveal I'm extremely tempted to swap from starting with the Guard to the boyz if they're not going to be the worst army in the game, they have too many fun models.

The start collecting box and the trukk with boyz box should be a decent base, nobs in the trukk, 20 squad of boyz backed by a painboy. Anything else?

In my dream world Kommandos get the special rule 'deres da objective ladz' to make up for the lack of ork snipers, where they can infiltrate and target individual character units.

If a lot of lost chapters are getting revived by the Primaris marines, has anyone asked GW if this means that there can be loyalist versions of traitor chapters?

That would be a very sexy proposition. Even more so if the chapters go by their original names.

A bunch of the existing loyalist chapters are strongly hinted to be relict populations of traitor legions, though not explicitly mentioned as such.

Is the subtext that women should also be allowed to be brainwashed soldiers for a fascist regime? For people who are thinking so deeply about the setting and its implications, it is pretty hosed up that you want women to be even more dehumanized.

GW should really just ride off the wave of popularity of characters like Zarya. There's a demand for big swole ladies who can kill you by crushing your head between their biceps GW, embrace that market.

IMO the Imperium should be dehumanizing in a completely equal opportunity way. They shouldn't care who or what you are, all human souls are just grist for the war mill in one way or another.

Is there any substantial difference between the plastic MKiii and MKiv models from GW vs Forge World? I've built tons of resin MKiv before, but drat if the price isn't attractive on the plastics.

Yeah, they unfortunately suffer from the GW Power Squat (TM, C) and the feet on the Mk IV legs somehow manage to point in the same direction. If posing isn't a worry then they are by far the easiest way to get those amour marks.

E: also the thighs of the plastics are noticeably thicker than their resin counterparts

Lame, posing and modelling is like 75% of the hobby for me. I'll probably just grab a box of the MKiii for padding numbers then and mix/match legs and torsos.

Literally settled on Scythes survivors because 'I wanted to paint yellow but not too much' and also bloodied up assault infantry and boarding shields are dope, I don't like painting tanks and leviathan dreads are infinitely cooler.

So apparently the Dark Imperium box is not the starter set. It's just a new edition bundle.

So we must not have seen everything yet?

I guess? It comes with the rules and a bunch of snap-fit monopose models so I'm not sure why you wouldn't call it "the starter set"

Also we're going to see non-monopose Death Guard soon after--both confirmed by rumors and the fact that we've already seen preview photos of death guard in both power armor and terminator armor that aren't in the box set.

It did serve as a reminder to buy some female heads and a Arcadian Guardswomen set from Victoria Miniatures.

I've been wanting to add some diversity to my Guard for ages and I figured a new edition is a good enough time to start the project.

Also the Camo Cloaks look really nice.
