Kroot Carnivores were amongst the very first 40k kits I picked up so when I saw that they would be getting a sizeable release with the latest Tau Codex I knew that I would be picking up at least one of the new Kroot Hunting Pack army boxes. Three later and here we are.
I've now managed to pick up some of the other kits that released once the full Tau Codex came out and I'll review how I found them here.
I'm back after a bit of a hiatus and I'm finally getting stuck into the new Tyranid miniatures.
First up are the Hormagaunts, the melee variant of the iconic Tyranid swarms units.
With the Army and Detachment rules out of the way, I'll try to tackle the bulk of the Index and arguably the more exciting bits. Again, these will be replaced in the next couple of months, and we do not yet know the points so I'll just be giving a general overview of how the sheets look. Obviously if they are dirt cheap or incredibly expensive then that will affect their viability.
Today Games Workshop dropped the Tyranid Index and gave us our first real look at what an army as a whole will look like in 10th Edition. As a long time Tyranid player this is an exciting time for me and I'll be recording my thoughts below. As we do not have point values yet, it is hard to tell exactly how good some units will be, so this will just be an initial impressions style review.
A relatively new release for the Primaris Space Marine range, the Gravis Captain is one I have been meaning to pick up for a while. Now that I've got around to picking it up, I've assembled the kit and will give my review of it here.
With the launch of the Kill Team: Gallowfall box we see the first Kill Team kit for the Leagues of Votann, the Hearthkyn Salvagers, which add an upgrade sprue to the existing Hearthkyn Warrior kit. Here, I will review the models included in the kit, with a focus on the new upgrade sprue. The operatives that the kit allows you to build are: Theyn, Dozr, Field Medic, Grenadier, Jump Pack Warrior, Kinlynk, Kognitaar, Lokatr, Lugger, Gunner, and Warrior.
The Desolation Marines were released alongside the Brutalis Dreadnought and the new Primaris
Lieutenant in the Strike Force Agastus boxset earlier in the year, and provide some much longed for Devastator equivalents to the Primaris range, albeit with none of the flexibility. They go somewhat against the grain when it comes to naming convention as you would expect them to be called Desolators but they went with Desolation Squad and Desolation Marine for some reason.
Commander Farsight, Shas'O O'Shovah, leader of the Farsight Enclaves recently received an update to his model and it blows his previous two out of the water (caste. Sorry).

Released alongside the Desolation Marines and the new Primaris Lieutenant in the Strike Force Agastus boxset earlier in the year, the
Brutalis Dreadnought is essentially a melee version of the existing Redemptor Dreadnought, trading out the macro plasma incinerator or heavy onslaught gatling cannon to double down on the melee arms.
Released alongside the Desolation Marines and the Brutalis Dreadnought in the Strike Force Agastus boxset earlier in the year, this latest Primaris Lieutenant is the first to feature wargear options within the kit and is also the first Primaris Lieutenant kit to include a powerfist.
