5x Chaos Knights
10x Chaos Warriors-No small rulebook

Looks like a ‘reboot’ to me?
Something aimed squarely at new players who have no experience with Warhammer.  It’s smaller in scale and number of models than the 40K starter boxes, so the big question for me as an industry watcher is what pricepoint Nottingham will set for this.  If they can bring in an introductory set at somewhat below $100, and the miniature quality is high (and it will be), this could be a big hit.
