Now that I have all these MKIII bodies in front of me, there's something about them that I can't quite put my finger on that I don't like about them.

If you're like me, it's the heads. They're smaller to make the bodies look huge.

E: they look pretty great with the old MkIII heads or any bare marine heads.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
If I run Azrael in my DA successor army using his model (helmet on) in my colours , does that create a WYSIWYG issue if I use Belial's model as a generic terminator captain? Should I aim for consistency?

Get the new Solar Auxilia russ when it comes out, bound to be a much better kit. I put together a chaos rhino and it was awful, I plan on using a Deimos Predator when the time comes.

Holy crap, I didn't think would go so far as to resculpt details as they got damaged. drat!

Also I got a rules question. When things are halved, do you round down or up? Terminator lord can halve the damage characteristic of attacks allocated to him; can he just no-sell 1 D attacks?

To be fair it's not the same sprue, the old one is uh Imperial Guard tank bits from 2003 that's in the Basilisk box, and the new one is the is the Leman Russ turret and gun bits from 2010.

But yeah they kind of updated the sculpt on the tank commander but it's clearly still the same one.

play some games and ask your opponents if it's confusing. WYSIWYG is ultimately a courtesy to the opponent.

In general, round according to the rules of arithmetic unless the ability says otherwise. 99% of the time, this is rounding up a value ending with .5

Also, you can't reduce damage to zero unless the ability specifically says it can. Check the rules commentary on page 19.

three of the worst modern models in one bad photoshop

So, Krootwise, the original announcement was the Flesh Shaper, War Shaper, Krootox Rampagers, and the new Carnivores and Krootox, which they said was "about half" of the new Kroot releases. I figured at the time that meant four unrevealed models, since if it were five they wouldn't have used that "about" weasel-word to qualify "half." They've since shown the Trail Shaper, Lone-spear, and the new Kroot Hounds, plus the event model that's just a Carnivore doing a jump.

Do we figure there's gonna be one more next Monday, or does that seem like it's gonna be it?

(The comedy answer would be we get new Vespids but they're actually Vespid-shaped Kroot, with some fluff about the Kroot having eaten all the real Vespids and the mechanical explanation being "We wanted all the Tau auxiliaries to work under the same keyword.")

Did the original article say they'd unveiled "about half" the new Kroot, or "about half" the new models coming with the T'au codex?

They specifically called out that it's half of the models coming for Kroot. So that's maybe two models left, a flier that can deep strike seems possible since they intend the Kroot to be unable on their own.

So "About half" really did mean "Four more, and one of them is the event mini."

The problem with that rumor as a rumor is that the idea of a Vespid Kill Team is such an obvious solution to the problem of how to justify budgeting the plasticization of the Vespid finecast kit on a corporate balance sheet that everyone who cares about Vespid spontaneously predicted it so, like... is it a rumor because there's an actual leak, or a rumor because everyone assumes it's true, or a rumor because people want it to be true? Who knows! Who can know, aside from GW employees?

Honestly it's entirely possible we're not getting a Vespid kill team even though that seems like a good way to justify a new plastic Vespid kit, because, say the Kill Team devs looked at it and went "Yeah we don't want to do a Kill Team where everyone can fly, that seems bad for Kill Team and we have to make Kill Team decisions for Kill Team first and 40k second." Like how everyone wanted GW to use the existence of Adeptus Titanicus as justification for an actual Imperator Titan model, but we don't seem to be getting it because playable Imperators would be bad for Adeptus Titanicus no matter how rad it would be to have an Imperator Titan that can fit in peoples' houses.
