Happy with them, I think next go around I'll be more ambitious with the colour patterns and maybe change some things around

Sorry for repost, wanted to get the high quality images instead of the crappy screen shot

Since GW won't give us Van vets with claws. Thankfully I still have 5 terminator claws that I didn't use becuase I built two squads one with shields and the other with claws. Meaning, that this will work nicely.

There are plenty of older lightning claw bits, or 3d prints. But I never really vibed with their looks. The only ones I like are shrikes, the terminators, aethons, and the sword bretherns. But it's really hard to get any other ones without spending a ton of money, so I'm going to trim the terminator arms to fit the vets.

I know several people will mention that maybe they will look too big and won't fit the primaris look. And to that I say we already have primaris units that rock terminator size lightning claws. Look at the blood claws kit. They are essentially just power fits with claws which just makes them more awesome.

Not an admech player. I just really love the AT-TE from starwars. And I saw this and now I REALLLLY want to do it.

Wondering about if anyone has knowledge about these kits, if it would be too hard to pull off?

It will probably be a proxy for something in my Krieg army. I LOVE transports.

I'm going to just kitbash my own but really, this unit has continued to disappoint me. Ive been waiting for this for 3 years and it's just a big let down. What are yalls thoughts?

Picked this up second hand for 40CAD I know it's a limited time model. Just want to know how rare it actually is cause I can't find much info about it online. I wanted to use it for kitbashing but at the same time Idk if that would be sacrilege to do so.

The stegadons are not painted yet, but I wanted to use this picture as a good way to set the scale. I don't care about rules, all I care about is having sick minis I can use for narrative play or proxies.

So my basic idea for this was to have the two stegadons pulling a floating platform of some kind, now I looked around and this lantern seems to be a good fit. I would get rid of the balloon lantern piece on the top, and instead it would appear like a floating object using eldar technology maybe a big gun on it for fun or something.

Anyways, what do y'all think? Do you have any other ideas? Have you done something like this yourself?

I was going for a chariot of some kind but Exodite flavored.

Maybe I'll just build it up over a year or something. The AT-RT was my favorite vehicle in starwars and I'd love to use these. Probably would change their heads to Krieg

So I'd love to also get your two cents on the issue. I unfortunately didn't get a lot of time to play with the buffed Ultron so I'd like to hear how you think the devs could 'fix' him I'm a tank main but I'd genuinely consider maining Ultron if I didn't get told to swap off of him constantly and he was at least like a good healer to run in a 2-2-2

I checked mini compare, but it's not there, I assume cause it's a terrain piece. But I'm planning on using this in a big kitbash and need a reference of its size, any model will do that I can then take to mini compare, thanks.

This isn't the first time I've had theories like this. I also thought the same about Krieg but I am a kill team collector and player primarily. And I've been seeing a theme with kill team as I'm sure a lot of you have as well.

The hand of the Archon team launched in 2023 and is set to retire this edition of 40k from kill team. To that end it will be then added to 40k as it's primarily promotional selling.

EDIT:

When I'm referring to a "refresh" I'm not suggesting that we lose even more parts of our range to be re-released. What I'm mostly referring to is some kits that we have already lost, beast packs, vek, forge world stuff aswell etc etc. I'm not saying that this refresh is going to be super hardcore. There is a rumour talking about exactly what units are likely coming like new Kabailite warriors. But nothing too crazy like replacing all our current stuff. Anyways-

So it is probably going to circulate out of complete rotation by sometime summer-fall of next year. Meaning I believe we will see them do a whole wave alongside this kill team being repackaged for 40k. We've seen this happen with kroot by extension tau, CORSAIRS, Krieg, orks, sisters of battle to an extent and soon I think this will also be the case for drukhari.

Important to note that this is slightly different to other cases because largely the refreshes that arise from kill team rotations come from models going from forge world to resin, however in this case it would be plastic going to better plastic. So that is important thing to say.

Following a lot of the rumours we do know that drukhari are coming this edition as a refresh, if you trust the rumours which are right most of the time. That being said the rumours have largely dried up and it's not likely that drukhari get their codex this year. So this would comfortably place them at late summer to fall of 2027

Also, just as a personal note, it would also suggest with the striking scorpions kill team going out of rotation a few months after, probably early 2028 we might see my favorite boy the green Karen 🤩

So Im in the process of moving into my first house...and havnt had alot of hobby time.

But it's pretty much all I can think about right now, and in between ripping out floors and painting walls I've been running wild with narrative campaigns to make.

Mainly my question arises from my narrative idea. Basically Drukhari and Corsair have decided to invade and colonize a major Exodite Maiden world to act as a base of operations as they plunder and exploit neighboring systems. Basically acting as a treasure / slave vault where theyve built up the maiden world cities, they've introduced more technology. And have basically taken control of the planet installing a Corsair Queen she isn't exactly nice.

I'm by no means a lore expert, and obviously if you follow lore to a T it's a bit more tricky to have fun. But I would like to have a dialogue about how Crafter worlders would react to learning this. Would they care enough to restore the regular functions of the Maiden world? Would they view it as okay because it's still technically eldar conquering the planet and not another race?

So I'm a massive Exodite enjoyer. I've been working on a custom army for a long time. So you can imagine that I'm quite happy with the last reveal. Happy is an understatement.

However, I'm curious as to how many helmets exactly they are going to give us in this box. The obvious answer is 6. However what I love about kill team is usually they give wayyy more options than standard kits, with a variety of heads and helmets, so now I'm just wondering, has all of that variety gone to the raptors themselves, or is there a possibility we get more than 6 helmets.

The reason I'm asking is becuase I will probably end up getting 3-4 squads of these guys over the course of this and next year and want to plan out how to beat utilize the head swapping to make my other Exodite units.

You can only pet him twice though....
