Given that it’s possible that Krieg is going to get a major release. If that’s the case then it would make some sense for the other large infantry FW lines, in particular, the very popular DKoK to also move to plastic. In addition, there are major rumors that 30K is getting moved over to the main studio from Forge World and getting some major plastic releases. Guard on the other hand are well overdue for a large overhaul and some new models.

On top of that, Orks, the other faction featured in the Kill Team box are getting a huge new release right now, despite the fact that they got a large one in 8th. This DKoK box is a more generic release and seems more in line with the kind of release you’d see as part of a big line of new units. While both the Tantish and Starstriders got only one little release, that was a specific named unit, with named people in it. On the other hand, there is some evidence that leads me to hope that this will be a bigger release. Indeed we have no evidence this release is anything other than the one box. It wouldn’t really affect the army or the game, but would be nice for hobbyists. Certainly, this would still be cool, and not too long ago I was hoping more regiments would get little releases like this. This would put them in somewhat the same boat as the Tanith First and Only and the Euclidian Starstiders, as a side regiment with a very limited plastic set. Enough to make a veteran squad and that’s about it. It’s possible that the Krieg “release” will be limited to just one box of infantry. Plastic DKoK in Kill Team could mean basically nothing.

With rumors and signs pointing to the eventual coming of a new Guard book, let’s take a look at what this could mean. Now for the first time, they are in plastic. Previously Krieg had an extensive line of resin Forgeworld models and full rules for an army. Included in the set are brand new, and the first, plastic miniatures for the fan-favorite Astra Miliatrum regiment the Death Korps of Krieg. This past weekend during their preview GW showed off the new Kill Team box set. ATTENTION SOLDIER! New plastic Death Korps of Krieg minis are coming, but what does it mean?
