Post Body

So, a couple of month into the current edition and we already received a lot of content. Granted, we are still missing a lot, but from what we predicted might come, we actually got most.
We are still missing a couple of factions specialist teams (Space Marine, Grey Knights, Custodes, Drukhari, Demons, Death Guard, Necrons, Tyranids, Kroot) and haven't got any new books separate from box releases.

Somehow I expect us to get an annual 2022 inlcuding all White Dwarf releases since.. I'm counting on GW reprinting existing content here and obviously with availability issues for post publications of White Dwarf kill teams, there are going to be people buying that book. Although I think Killteam 2018 did a good job with Elites, I don't think that book would be a priority with a lot of factions still missing their specialist teams.

Speaking of specialist kill teams. We haven't had any doubles on White Dwarf and boxed releases, so I expect the missing teams being prioritzed before we receive different rules for exisiting specialist teams. With the Warhammer Community road map, there is at least one more boxed release upcoming. We have seen a consistent pattern of getting one totally new sculpted team and one with a new upgrade sprue.

  • Space Marines, as GW poster boys are in dire need of support.. I expect Primaris scouts for a while now, which would be a new model range.
  • Grey Knights also lack a Primaris version, though their support by GW isn't that high.. I can't see them getting a boxed release.. I actually doubt they'll get a White Dwarf release, because there are not that many models left in their range. They could only try fitting in brother captains and scriptors as "Agent" models like they did with Harlequins. I'm doubtful though.
  • Custodes is even more unlikely than Grey Knights, which leads me to believe they are not getting a release
  • Drukhari have a couple of nice models that would fit in nicely with Kill Team. Mandrakes and Incubi could be easily added b a white dwarf release.
  • Chaos Demons also already bring a couple of options that could be easily added with White Dwarf releases. i don't expect greater Demons in the current meta, by the heralds would easily fit as "Agent" models
  • Death Guard I really don't know enough about.. from my point of view their model range is fine, so maybe White Dwarf?
  • Necrons get a lot of support by GW lately, so they already have upgraded sprues and a couple of nice characters which could work as "Agent" models. Likely White Dwarf, I'd say.
  • Tyranids are in dire need of new models.. some Genestealer sculpts from this century would be an improvement.. I could see them only getting an upgrade sprue though, for some sort of Ymgarl Genestealer. Judging by the Legionnaire upgrades, that could already be pretty nice.
  • Kroot have such a limited model range.. I don't know. 2 out 3 being resin..

Which would leave me with my prediction.. I guess it's going to be Primaris Scouts vs Ymgarl Genestealers. And then we get Durkhari, Chaos Demons, Necrons as White Dwarf releases. Grey Knights, Custodes, Kroot won't get support, while Death Guard I really have no clue.

Squats might make an appearance instead of Primaris Scouts, with all the fuzz.. but I could see Squats being put in a new edition of Space Hulk actually.

And in the end, I still wish for a White Dwarf release of the Servants of the Abyss, Elucidian Starstriders and Gellerpox Infected.. and maybe even an Inquisition kill team and a Ghaunt's Ghosts?

Those are my thoughts. What are your guesses for upcoming releases?
