Can’t wait for the vehicle reveals for Ash Wastes. I’m hoping each of the core gangs get something. I want to see what a Delaque vehicle looks like.

Plus an enforcer taurox thing would be awesome

this internal imbalance is also why a bunch of the non-standard gangs aren't very good, because their champions are balanced with the gangers. this is one of the main problems of genestealer cults, for example.

Yes, exactly. I've been playing Palanite Enforcers recently, their Sgts are probably a step above GSC champs but below the rest (they have 2W, but only 1A and the same WS/BS as their patrolmen). And they're limited to 2 per gang. Champs were (in the 2017 release) limited to 2 at gang creation, and you could add more for every full 10 Reputation your Gang accrued. So you could have 3 Champs at 10-19 Rep, 4 at 20-29 Rep etc. That sort of fell by the wayside. Right now, most gangs can take as many champs as they want, as long as Leader+Champs is a lower number of models than Gangers+Juves+Prospects. And that's pretty drat forgiving. The optimum gang of 10 models is probably a Leader, 4 champs, and 5 others depending on what gang you are. Given that many scenarios feature a limited crew of say 3+D3 models, this lets you stack your crews with powerful champions. That can be fun as a player, but it has a distorting effect on the game when the 2W guys with skills and fancy weapons are the norm, not occasional key models.

I would advise any Arbitrator to put some sort of guidance/limit on champion numbers instead of the core rules version.

I'm expecting at a minimum details of their 'book of the wastes' type thing with generic vehicle rules. God knows how they'll do unique gang releases, maybe spread out over a while. As well as the Ridge Hauler, the Ash Wastes book uses an example profile for an Ash Rig, which might be a further generic release?

Yeah I feel like taking the Squat rules and using Forge Fathers Steel Warriors as the models is the way to go. Even if they aren't up to GW detail standards, they're like $30 a box.

I'm fine with the helmets, but I kinda don't like some of the (partial) faces underneath. Maybe it's the paintjob edge-highlighting everything too sharply, but the ones without beards have such pronounced jowls, it just looks weird to me.

There's a big market for third party BB teams, crazy quality stuff. They are pricey but still less than kitbashing a team from GW models.

They were saying it was a really big model on the stream, considering the size of the skulls. Looks like it would be difficult to balance it on a 40mm round.

Charles Get-Out posted:

They did say that these were off-shoots of the Leagues of Votann, so these shouldn't be all that much reflective of the 'squats' elsewhere in the galaxy. These are scrap-scavenging, immigrant-conclave Squats, not League of Votann with all the latest old-person-powered supercomputer technology.

Unfortunately they are really out of scale if you buy them from Punga, they're the same height as humans and significantly bulkier. I'm not that picky about scale creep but it was way too noticable.

Those Necro squats are going to be EXTREMELY annoying to fight. Heavy armour, presumably high toughness/wounds, and hi-tech weapons. My group already hates Van Saar, these are probably going to be worse

Word, but I wasn't super impressed by the Votann troop or trike either. All the new space dorfs are giving me Sontaran vibes .

I liked that one photoshop that put the ad mech robot on the Votann trike though, good potential for kitbashes.

The new killteam box reveal has me questioning something from the compendium. I am new to the game, and have only played with explicitly killteam units.

In compendium, it looks like infiltrators can only take five models to make a killteam, but the promo pictures have ten models. Is there something I am missing?

Compendium teams are sometimes made of two smaller sub teams for example 3 Tyranid Warriors and 5 Genestealers, idk if this is the case with marines tho

The Chaos Legionnaires box makes 10 dudes but you can only take six or seven total. You have to decide which models to put in the list.
