I think they mentioned on Twitter that they are adding it to the Kriel Company Theme Force as well. Is that another push to make it more appealing?

Honestly, they realized they dropped the ball here. I don't know what they have for profit margins and all the business stuff, but If they could just drop is down 20 or 25 dollars I grantee people would actually buy it.
its the most expensive model on the product line and you cannot get any discount from it like you could normally thanks to "not forge world"

Welp, I was on the fence until now, but with a plug like this, how could I resist?

I didn't see anything new. Care to elaborate?

I think they just got a bit carried away with the Hooch Hauler, it seems they did not consider what a pain it is going to be to transport. Even if you break it into parts and magnetise it, it's still just flippin massive. I know it's a pretty mundane concern, but it is one of the reasons I stopped playing 40k, the models were just too big and I was sick of carrying a dozen tanks and flyers around (I played Guard)

Guard are literally molesting the meta over there I left 40k because i hated the game. Especially the competitive version. I also hate age of sigmar rules, and 8th edition is literally age of sigmar en spessss. Its funny all the people who hated AOS, but then talk about how good 8th edition was to 40K...*sigh* rant off. It seems big centerpiece models is what they want though. It makes the board prettier and attracts new players. People get turned off when they see the 30-50 dude spam lists trudging around because its so many models to buy and paint. People get excited when they see an army of 10-20 models with big beautiful ones plopped down wreaking havoc somewhere on the table. Unless your me, and have a weird adoration of masses of infantry.

The only thing about the hooch hauler that bothers me is the backwards catapult.
