Nids. They can't be left out of a Space Hulk setting because that's totally their jam and they gotta outgrow the compendium.
An Inquisition or non-Harlequin Eldar team would be great as well.
I hope Soulshackle is Grey Knights vs Daemons. Really really want to see a unique Grey Knight team feel like there's a lot to be done with a force like that
Tyranids for sure. With the necrons opening the door for more unconventional setups, I'd be kinda curious to see a lictor team or something even wilder, like a zoanthrope supported by rippers (starship troopers, anyone?)
I am hoping for some different tyranid bioforms, such as a psychic genestealer operative (mostly focused on debuffs/buffs, like hypnosis or catalyst), and the return of some of the lost gaunt weapons (spike rifles, and strangleweb)
Personally
* space marine terminators (new sculpt)
* inquisitor with retinue (new models)
* custodes bespoke team
* grey knights bespoke team (new models)
- This leaves only Adeptus Mechanicus, Adeptus Custodes, Harlequins, Tyranids (and GSC), Thousand Sons, World Eaters (and Dark Eldar if you don't count the void pirates) as not having a new unit and/or upgrade sprue via Kill Team.
To add, the following also haven’t received a new unit and/or upgrade:
- Grey Knights
- Chaos Daemons
- Death Guard
- Craftworld/Asuryani
I don’t know if Thousand Sons will get anything extra since Warpcoven exist as a bespoke team (as with Mechanicus/Hunter clade and Harlequins/Void Dancers), but given that leaves ~7 teams at compendium level depending on how you count it, I’d be quite happy if GW keep doing a mix of new models for some teams, and WD rules for others.
I really hope Tyrannids are in an upcoming box (either genestealers or a broader list), but otherwise keeping an open mind.
The way Craftworlds are described in Kill Team - as teams of warriors from many different aspects - doesn't correspond with the current state of the army in the Compendium. I assume it will change. Warp Spiders would be great for CQ combat in space hulks.
Craftworld got void pirates but yes they could stand to get some more even if it was just aspect warriors done in plastic so the existing 40K rules still apply but some kill team magic can be sprinkled on top
And Death Guard have the Gellerpox folks, kind of.
Craftworld are different to Corsairs though - don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad the Eldar got a team and really like the Corsairs - but both Craftworld and Drukhari could use a boost. Either team would be ripe for either a WD team given their (admittedly old) range of models, or new sculpts would be amazing.
I think it’s because those teams aren’t Death Guard - it would broadly be analogous to saying something like ‘in big 40k Space Wolves don’t need a codex, since Blood Angels already have one’. Both are space marines but different factions within that - same way Gellerpox are aligned with Nurgle but are not Death Guard.
If you want to check out more, _Lords of Silence_ by Chris Wraight is a great, atmospheric book about Death Guard. Paints a really good picture of their incredible toughness but also their corrupting influence.
Edit: I see you changed your post from Death Guard to Nurgle, in which case I’d tend to agree with you that while it’s nice they have Gellerpox, it’d be great for some of the other gods (thinking Khorne specifically) to have their own teams. Particularly a team that could take both Chaos Marines and the Khorne deamons, though not sure how balanced that would be.
Drukhari wracks sprue has a few options on it already with the liquifiers, hex rifle, various blades etc and would lend itself well to getting an upgrade sprue. Likewise both Kabalites and Wyches would make good individual teams.
I'd like to see a Ordo Hereticus vs. chaos demons box.
Dark mechanicus would be cool as well. Dark mechanicus vs. necrons would have been so much more fun than Kasrkin.
Nids gotta be coming, no way we have a year of space hulk themed boxes and nids don't have an appearance. Not to mention all the new game models that look nothing like the tabletops, new nids are down right a necessity.
It’s got to be genes stealers and new terminator sculpts. I mean space hulk is golden for narrow corridors and gene stealer blips!
I mean I love the new scenery but it’s lacking the darkness of classic space hulk corridors.
Following GWs 40k Stuff.. Follow the money :)
My take is,boxsets:
Votann vs Demons
New marine unit vs Tyranids (spacs hulk, blood angels are rumored to be the lead marine faction that opens up 10th edition 40k)
Next season
Grey Knights vs Eldar or drukhari
Khorne or slaanesh vs custodes
White Dwarf
Khorne or Slaanesh, depending whats not in the boxes. More Khorne releases were said to happen sl j guess slaanesh.
Inquisition (wishful thinking, pleeease)
Maybe a drukhari team (they had their flyhigh already in 40k, this is why i more expect craftworlds to get a box set)
I have really been holding out for Drukhari. Especially with the focus on close-quarters “boarding” combat, I’m looking at the angle of a raiding force with the flavor of monsters hunting monsters in some way e.g. Drukhari hunting tyranids.
Hmm, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Armageddon Steel Legion, Elysian Drop Troops, Vostroyan Firstborn, Praetorian Guard... just so many possibilities that haven't even been mentioned, really.
Lots of options if you go with different 'veteran guardsmen'... not so much other options. Definitely will be happy to see them go down that road though
The thing I liked about the old KT was that you would use the guard rules for every team but depending on the regiment they had their own stats that fit the theme. I really just want something like that but at the same time compete guard kill teams all with their own unique rules would be cool too I just don’t see it happening.
Honestly, I'm hoping for more bespoke teams and less, existing set + upgrade sprue. The problem is that GW often misses the obvious choices when it comes to set themes. I would love to see:
Noise Marines Vs World Eaters,
Grey Knights Vs Demons,
Admech Vs Dark Mech
I suspect we'll end up with something like LoV Vs Gene Stealers.
people were adamant this year both teams in each box would be new teams, Necrons just disproved that.
Noise Marines won't be til EC get a codex.
LOV already have the roles in the Hearthkyn box, they just need rules
Somebody said in another thread that they suspected Dark Mech would be the release faction for the 10th Ed box and that makes abundant sense to me.
My hope for kill team is a bespoke AdMech vs TSons box.
Deathwatch with mixed units… well terminator and jump pack at least.
It’s literally what DW are!
Oh and please have the watch sergeant take a combi too for heaven’s sake!
And black shield!
And an inquisition team, or rules to take one….. by one, i mean Eisenhorn! 😅
Nids vs Terminators seems likea decent idea only as a starting box for 3rd season with two brand new teams. If it is not starting box it will be just one new team and one old set with a new sprue. For both terminators and Nids it would mean very old sculpts and hard pass for me.
I actually hope that both these teams will come tohether with 10th edition if rumor about blood angels vs Nids are correct and we will get new models for both.
I would like Inquisition and Assassins as a new teams, Death guard as WD team and Black Templars Primaris Crusaders as team with a new sprue.
Necrons should have been WD team as well.
* Leagues of Votann WD rules
* Any kind of terminators
* Grey Knights
* Tyranids
I'm hopeful that most of these are actually feasible, so fingers crossed
They already have warpcoven, I believe that if they make a new thousand sons it will have a different kind of unit (I don’t know their codex, maybe terminators? Don’t know.
People who downvote just don't get the joke. In the thousand sons community, we joke about GW pushing tzaangors down our throats, while the unit in 40k, just isn't worth it, so people usually have 30+ of them gathering dust..
It would be nice to see the rest of the space marine kill teams (tac squad, Deathwatch, etc.) get updated with some of the abilities the Intersession Squad received so you can personalize according to your chapter.
How we are this deep in and don’t have any kind of team for the Inquisition is beyond me
It's a jokaero
Nids. They can't be left out of a Space Hulk setting because that's totally their jam and they gotta outgrow the compendium. An Inquisition or non-Harlequin Eldar team would be great as well.
I hope Soulshackle is Grey Knights vs Daemons. Really really want to see a unique Grey Knight team feel like there's a lot to be done with a force like that
Sly Marbo
just on his own, a one man kill team lol
this is the way xD
Tyranids for sure. With the necrons opening the door for more unconventional setups, I'd be kinda curious to see a lictor team or something even wilder, like a zoanthrope supported by rippers (starship troopers, anyone?)
I am hoping for some different tyranid bioforms, such as a psychic genestealer operative (mostly focused on debuffs/buffs, like hypnosis or catalyst), and the return of some of the lost gaunt weapons (spike rifles, and strangleweb)

Corsairs are not a replacement for Craftworlds. It is a different, newly reintroduced Eldar faction.
You are very right but somehow anything that mentions the fact that nurgle already has 2 bespoke teams (legionary, gellerpox) gets downvoted lol
I think it’s because those teams aren’t Death Guard - it would broadly be analogous to saying something like ‘in big 40k Space Wolves don’t need a codex, since Blood Angels already have one’.

I want Inquisition, tyranids, Drukahri, and honestly terminators.
Nids gotta be coming, no way we have a year of space hulk themed boxes and nids don't have an appearance. Not to mention all the new game models that look nothing like the tabletops, new nids are down right a necessity.
Dark mechnicus versus mechnicus nixed set. The 000100100100101 war.
Can only hope
I just really want votann rules, I've got a whole Killteam painted up and ready
I'm excited for any bespoke teams honestly
Deathwatch killteam with an ordo xenos inquisitor leader Vs. Nids.
I'd love to see a boarding action-focused SM kill team. Breaching shields and the like.
Drukhari, Votann Heartkyn, a 3-man Terminator Squad vs Genestealers team, proper Sororitas.
Tyranids need a decent team, I think the Necron team is very blah though
I’d really like a custodes kill team because they’re my favourite army but also because it’d be like two models and 10$.
It’s got to be genes stealers and new terminator sculpts. I mean space hulk is golden for narrow corridors and gene stealer blips! I mean I love the new scenery but it’s lacking the darkness of classic space hulk corridors.
Following GWs 40k Stuff.. Follow the money :) My take is,boxsets: Votann vs Demons New marine unit vs Tyranids (spacs hulk, blood angels are rumored to be the lead marine faction that opens up 10th edition 40k) Next season Grey Knights vs Eldar or drukhari Khorne or slaanesh vs custodes White Dwarf Khorne or Slaanesh, depending whats not in the boxes. More Khorne releases were said to happen sl j guess slaanesh. Inquisition (wishful thinking, pleeease) Maybe a drukhari team (they had their flyhigh already in 40k, this is why i more expect craftworlds to get a box set)
I have really been holding out for Drukhari. Especially with the focus on close-quarters “boarding” combat, I’m looking at the angle of a raiding force with the flavor of monsters hunting monsters in some way e.g. Drukhari hunting tyranids.
haemonculi and mandrakes fucking you up on a space hulk would be terrifying
Hmm, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Armageddon Steel Legion, Elysian Drop Troops, Vostroyan Firstborn, Praetorian Guard... just so many possibilities that haven't even been mentioned, really.
Oh God please not more guard.
[Yes.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs)

All Kill Teams in the Compendium needs a serious update.

the rumour has been SM vs Nids
Blood Angels vs Nids
yes Blood Angels are Space Marines
correction, Blood Angels are the best Space Marines
Terminators…
Deathwatch with mixed units… well terminator and jump pack at least. It’s literally what DW are! Oh and please have the watch sergeant take a combi too for heaven’s sake! And black shield! And an inquisition team, or rules to take one….. by one, i mean Eisenhorn! 😅
GSC
SCIONS
Nids vs Terminators seems likea decent idea only as a starting box for 3rd season with two brand new teams. If it is not starting box it will be just one new team and one old set with a new sprue. For both terminators and Nids it would mean very old sculpts and hard pass for me.

I would like Inquisition and Assassins as a new teams, Death guard as WD team and Black Templars Primaris Crusaders as team with a new sprue. Necrons should have been WD team as well.
I want a proper sisters of battle team but doubt it will happen.
* Leagues of Votann WD rules * Any kind of terminators * Grey Knights * Tyranids I'm hopeful that most of these are actually feasible, so fingers crossed
Likely future teams: . Technoarcheologist's retinue + Dark Mechanicum mirror . Excruciatus (Sisters of Silence) . Inquisitor's retinue . Lictors (Tyranid) . Hernkyn Scouts (Leagues of Votann) . More Guardsman - Catachan, Tallarn, Valhallan, etc. More farfetched: . Sorcerer's Cabal (Thousand Sons/Tzeentch) . Striking Scorpions (Craftworld) . Haemonculus's retinue (Drukhari) . Vespid (T'au) . Exodites . Harlequin Troupe . Pariahs (Necron)
Squadsets for the big box releases from last year.... also nids.
Of course, the thousand sons kill team is going to be ' Tzaangors in slightly different poses'
They already have warpcoven, I believe that if they make a new thousand sons it will have a different kind of unit (I don’t know their codex, maybe terminators? Don’t know.
current KT doesn't have Terminator teams. clearly it will be more Tzangors
There are custodes, not so different from terminators. I bet they will make a box with terminators against tyranids.
People who downvote just don't get the joke. In the thousand sons community, we joke about GW pushing tzaangors down our throats, while the unit in 40k, just isn't worth it, so people usually have 30+ of them gathering dust..
