[WH40K] A Very Aeldari Christmas
Posts
PL update was February 4th so use the most recent values printed is the general rule.
I figured this the case, it's just weird that they don't have the current numbers up to date in the app yet.

It's just a painting articel for Biel-tan though. Boo
Exorcists are getting some rules though (Weird chapter tactic for them though, immunity to physical damage?). Also a paper version of the 40k points booklet.
I forgot about it well because of the pandemic at the time weeks and days just kind of mushed together and then it was fall
Probably a Hospitaler for the SoB
Still the two bits of art from yesterday
I like the wyches playing with the kill but the one above that I am kind of sad the Drukhari don't get cool knives like that
Its probably guard. We know the SoB unit already.
There's already a hospitaller for SoB, so I'm not really sure why GW would release another one. I'd agreed with honovere and says I'm more inclined to believe it's something to do with guard.

They look very xenos inspired - one of them is straight up wearing Kabalite armour.

But I do like how they are flushing out the lore and such of the hive
"And this is his sofa, is it?" said Arthur.
He's glued high-friction soles to the undersides of his feet
E: That and the use of proper unit and weapon names from the game. Don't know why, but a lot of it just never sounds natural.
I saw they are sold in the same box now but on GW site the Stormtalon listing only shows 2 sprues and the Stormhawk 3?
Probably because the names are, universally, really dumb.
The Stormhawk is basically an Upgrade Sprue for the Stormtalon. You buy the box and can choose which one to build. The Stormtalon used to be sold by itself, but unless you get a really old kit from a physical store you'll be able to build either of them from the same box. If you're buying from GW you'll get the new kit.
Consequently, on the off chance anyone needs a Stormhawk sprue, I have one I'd be up for trading for something.
Lastly, Stormtalons rule. Back when you could just stay in the Devastator Doctrine all game my IH successor Stormtalons with dual Assault Cannons and Heavy Bolters were just shredding shit left and right.
Maybe I get lucky and GW sends me two of the other sprue so I can make two crypteks.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
Yeah you hit a gold mine
GW: Which kit was it, where did you buy it, do you have your receipt, do you want a replacement, do you have your receipt?
Me: I bought it from an independent stockist, here is my receipt again, it's this specific kit missing this specific sprue, yes I would like a replacement
GW: Ok, we'll need you to upload an image of your receipt
Me: Here is my receipt again
GW: Ok, we don't have any spares of that kit in the office, we'll have to get it from the warehouse, it may take a while due to Covid
Me: Ok, I understand that, not a huge deal
[box arrives, it's the wrong sprue]
Me: Hello, the replacement sprue is the wrong one, you sent Sprue X, I needed Sprue Y
GW: Ok, we will send the the replacement sprue (this was on February 16th)
Me: Ok, thank you
On March 3rd
Me: Hello, I haven't received the replacement sprue yet, I understand that there have been shipping delays due to covid and recent weather, can you please confirm when it was sent so I have an idea when it may be arriving? [no response yet]
On the upside, between the kit I bought (the Canis Rex kit comes with every Knight weapon), the extra replacement sprue I didn't need, the extra replacement sprue I do need, and about $45 spent on bits websites whenever I get the package from GW I will have enough parts to build two Imperial Knights.
I only vaguely knew of it since because of the pandemic and Brexit really threw a wrench into the release plan. Still I keep meaning to find out what Beyond the Veil was about {I know it's a crusade book but there are other things about it I have no idea}
I got the Canis Rex mech I have yet to build it lacking the room since for storage reasons and to swap out the weapons on the arms I plan on magnetizing it
But I got it as a start to my chaos knights army
I am extremely hyped for Lelith's new rules here

Killing three intercessors a turn for probably 150ish points seems like not nearly enough out of a beatstick, but I don't play with our against deldar.
Lelith is more like 90 points but it's still not a great return on investment. At the moment it's looking like she's intended to be a horde mulcher, as opposed to Drazhar who - for a slightly higher points cost - will absolutely shred anything that looks even vaguely elite or tanky.

Part of me is debating about getting the codex on ebay or at the deep dive at the shop at the end of the month {people are not discounting 40k lately mostly the books I understand since you tend to sit on those longer than you wish}
The box set is well I am curious how much since I am thinking about it since more wyches and a venom that I will probably give to my haemonculi force I am building
Will Vect come back as a model?
I really think with model wise the heroic effort to update the craftworlders they will come out next year so who knows if they will give them a new aspect warrior or the pheonix warrior for warp spiders
Common mythic animals not represented in the current aspect warrior line are lions, wolves, bears, and oxen. If we include sea creatures you get sharks and whales as well.
