I’m new to this but I had to rebase one of my poxwalkers last week due to putting way too much orange/red shade on him. He was like a Death Walker Trump.

drat, three-armed gunfighter from Vigilus looking good. What a eastwoodian badass. Also, assassin dude, new magus type? (probably named?), tech dude? So cool. I guess since I've got both admech and cult, I guess I'm gonna be in for both those kill-team sides too, plus they must loving finally be close to releasing an aberrant box. Looking like it's gonna be an expensive spring :homebrew:

Ditto. That AdMech box is gonna be a must-buy for me; been waiting for a new tech-priest model and I hadn't got around to picking up those cool Sicarians yet. Between that, GSC and the new AT expansion this is gonna be an expensive next few months.

As cool as they are, I really don't get why GSC need so many new character units:
Abominant
Gunslinger
Nexos
Sniper bike
Female magus
Assassin
Vox guy
Sword/preacher guy
There's a new medic-like guy in the video too

With the existing options that's over a dozen characters for a codex that still has a handful of unique regular units. Can't see myself buying too many of them. My favourites are still the new Aberrants, which I'll probably grab a couple boxes of when they're out separately.

I would assume at least a couple are special characters since they currently have zero. As for why they've got them - because they look cool and the design team had fun making then is the real answer.

I super love all the kits - they're amazing, look great, etcetc. The bikes and buggies will help fill fast attack where we only had one choice (sentinel). I was hoping for some sort of mining mech suit thing to go in heavy support but maybe they'll show something later. I did a whole index review for GSC where I kinda stated the durability problem (was discussed a bit in Discord). But again the models are amazing looking, and I'm extremely excited.

New AdMech dude is a little fleshy for my tastes (it does have an alternative head that's more cybernetic though) but a KT box with terrain and Sicarians is cool, and I'm interested to see where he fits on a 40k list (I know commanders have historically been Elites.)

All of the new GSC poo poo looks amazing.

He's almost certainly a sorcerer at which point floating is just the expected result. This is going to be a great year for Chaos players.

I thought Heretics were different from Sorcerers or whatever

He looks like dark apostle, which is not a sorcerer. They don't get psyker powers do they? Don't think so. They give morale bonuses.

E: No, dark apostles are not psykers. I guess he could be a sorcerer though, but that imagery screams dark apostle to me.

The portly tech priest looks quite corrupted to me one way or the other, so much so that I was scrutinising him for either GSC or chaos symbols.

I was thinking maybe they are flirting with the idea of releasing Dark Mechanicus, or maybe this guys lore will be he admires genestealers as the ultimate biological evolution (check out that third arm configuration... Genestealer gunslinger fetish ahoy)

I just read about dark apostles because I dont know a lot of lore about chaos and it says they are summoners of daemons. Can non pskers do that? Either way they channel some funky warp magic in some way it seems.

I'm guessing new unit type that answers the question "Wait, wouldn't it make sense for CSMs to use psykers for a role similar to loyalist marine chaplains?"
