My favorite Warhammer game just teased the return of a fan-favorite, and they're going up against an iconic 40K foe

A hooded, flying figure wielding a scythe roars against a blurred background, which includes numerous warriors on a battlefield.

An iconic Warhammer 40K model from the early 2000s just got one hell of a glow-up, and it seems to be dragging a revamped fan-favorite to Kill Team on its coattails.

Publisher Games Workshop just revealed a plastic C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer, and it blows the 2002 version up both in terms of scale and ambition. This ghostly alien god is at least twice the size of the original, Grim Reaper-esque model, but has more Necron digitization (and robot scarabs, of course) along for the ride. However, that's not the really interesting bit. Alongside being a Warhammer 40K unit, it will apparently serve as a "final boss" for your Kill Team squad at the end of the upcoming season. And what's included in a promo shot of the C'tan facing off with a couple of warbands? Well, I think it might be new Chaos Space Marine Raptors. I've certainly not seen those models before, and they don't match the previous miniatures.
