I definately thought the same thing when I saw this, and was just as suprised no one else made a video on it. Whilst an Ecclisiarchy weirdos team would be fun, I'd deffo prefer a standard Celestians Killteam. Not only so they'd then hopefully add regular Celestians back into 40k, but also Novitiates just don't really do it for me, so I'm still playing with Compendium Sisters. Also because I feel like the basic battle sister kit is already very customizable with tons of different weapons, a banner bearer, a Sister holding a grenade and even a Pet type unit with the Cherub, that it just lends it self really well to being the basis of a Killteam. In terms of what's more likely, I agree that for a new edition they'd want some kind of brand new kit to wow everyone. However, correct me if I'm wrong but the fleur de lis symbol in 40k is specifcally asscosiated with the Sororitas, and not the Ecclesiarchy in general, so I feel like it could go both ways.

Agree, agree, agree.

I can see an Ecclesiarchy weirdos team being a thing & would be an interesting twist on a new team.

They really fit when you consider GW’s tendency to color in the margins with Kill Teams

Sounds reasonable. Sisters with Upgrade Sprue in addition to the option to bring other models would be no surprise for me (after this video)

I do doubt they will do an upgrade sprue team in a launch box, but it could happen.

Let’s hope so. Also silver Sisters are best Sisters. 😉

I thought it was either a fancy base for the new Seraphim Canoness, or terrain as well. So, I’m glad we’re on the same page. 👍🏻

It could simply be some scenic base material for the Jump Pack Cannoness we know is coming for 40k, but the kill team reference in the rumor engine article gives me hope, and frankly I want to believe, so fingers crossed for something more than just the one model!

It looks like wreckage from a battle. Could be interesting

I think if the new core rulebook and various cards and other gubbins are thrown in it ends up being preferable to buying things separately just because of the cost they will put on all that stuff later on.

I see what you are getting at, but I think you are discounting the storage tax that comes with scenery being in the main box.

The rumour I subscribe to is it's tactical terrain for a jump pack canoness. I don't know about kill team but so far for 40k it's been one or two character models per codex and I think that's what this is. If it is a kill team I'd prefer it be actual sisters, as someone who doesn't really care for the ecclesiarchy side of the army.

I enjoyed the Kill Team reference in the blurb, as an 'in-group' thing. It didn't cross my mind that it might actually be a kill team rumour though.

Well, makes a lot of sense to me given we are expected a new edition and that means new terrain!

8:52 I can see Sisters getting the Scions treatment as they are trained in the same places. I’d rather see Scions back at 3 though. Kasrkin never actually had BS 3 in Kill Team, and should definitely stay at BS 4.

@TabletopImpulse

Perhaps, but Scions got BS4+ in the context of a team wide ability that showcased there training at shooting things with guns, it's a little different I think.

@@TabletopImpulsedo you mean Kasrkin? BS 4 with elite points is slightly better than BS 3 from memory. I don’t think Scions got an extra ability in Ashes of Faith except nerfed to BS 4 to pander to the, “Kasrkin should be the bestest guardsmen evah!” crowd. I certainly wouldn’t be against them getting elite points to compensate for the drop though. It seems entirely reasonable.

I can see some form of updated Sororitas kit being in the new edition of Kill Team launch box, as their new codex is also being released this summer. For that same reason I have no idea on who their opponents might be, as we have no idea on the post-summer roadmap yet, unless they are also planning on another Chaos Marine Team/Kit akin to the Night Lords Nemesis Claws as part of the Chaos Marine release.

@TabletopImpulse

Both Kill Teams don't tend to tie into 40k Codex releases, one at most. It could be literally anyone in the box against the sisters, last time sisters were featured in a box they were up against the Tau, so it doesn't even have to be the traditional enemy of chaos.

Red sisters best sisters. Red sisters fastest sisters!

I don't disagree but whenever they do that other folks on the internet complain that the team is not Kill Teamy enough and is just a 40k release.

It’s all a red herring, the text is a false clue. Clearly it’s a new model for Bretonnians in The Old World.
