TFW you're halfway through converting and painting a miniature when its rules are removed from the game boohoo. Oh well, now it's a tech priest proxy.

It has parts from 5 minis, bonus points to anyone who can guess them.

    Kill Team is getting Inquisition retinues as an option that can take a variety of henchmen.

    They're already out and I have one, lol. It's not a very good kit, though. You get five acolytes, a servitor, and a servo-skull token, but the team you'd play needs ten so you'd have to buy the kit twice. I'm just glad I got it recasted (plus I got two kasrkin teams at the same time and they fucking SLAP).

    I think there's also a new codex coming out that will be more like the 3.5 Inquisition books, letting you mix and match.

    If you're talking about the imperial agents codex for 40k, it's out and probably the worst one they've ever released. The henchmen are T3, 1W, BS3+ with one bolt pistol each (one can take a plasma pistol and another can take an eviscerator), lost an option to take an agent that could deny deep strikes within 12", and cost nearly twice as much as guardsmen. Jokaero went to legends, cost 20 points more, can only join henchmen if there's already an inquisitor leading them, and their buff got worse ("+1 to wound" changed to "6s to hit auto-wound").

    Also Deathwatch got squatted except for a character (plus a named version of the same character), one infantry choice, and a flyer.

    RIP to the like 5 AOS armies that got squatted because of some internal power struggle bullshit. It is BLEAK out here.

      Yeah I haven't played 40k since early 7th. Mostly been looking into alternative wargames or sticking with WHFB. They squatted everything pretty hard after the End Times fiasco, but I never re-based any of my models, so the joke's on them.

      I really feel bad for anyone who had a Beastman army and now has to redo everything, including bases. Like make up your mind GW lol
