Agreed, it reduces de number of variants to a reasonable number while giving us all the weapon options.

I think they should mix and match one melee weapon with one ranged weapon, giving us 3 variants.

Warpfire Projector + Grinderfist = The warp weapon combo.
​Ratling Cannon + Doom-Flayer Gauntlet = The spinning weapon combo.
Windlauncher + Shock Gauntlet = The other ones.

it should start with melee, warp fire thrower, Rattling Cannons as a preset option and then the player, via tech should be allowed to design their own.

Nice to see a final melee option with shoulder mounted range options.

OR...we give them 6 arms and put one weapon on each arm!

Or, we could let people choose how they want to set up their load out. I might want a bruiser melee squad or a full squad kitted out with Rattling Cannons.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the lore of the attached Packmaster being used. The more control the PM has the great range accuracy but, lower melee stats.

I hope they allow a lot of tinkering.

I've solved it.

Lol are we even allowed to do this?

So if you had to choose only two variants?

That's the Six Million Dollar Rat.

All variants need to be added

At least:

1. Warpfire Projectors
2. Doom-Flayer Gauntlets
3. Shock Gauntlets
4. Ratling Cannons

Unfortunately, Stormfiends are an End Times exclusive and will not be appearing due to licensing issues.

Fortunately, we can hope for Augmented Rat Ogres though that could fill a similar role.

There are already ET units in the game so, I wouldn’t worry about it. It would certainly be an issue if GW didn’t own the ET licence but, fortunately they do.

We'll have to see, but I think the problem is that Stormfiends are exclusive to End Times events, not just that they were introduced during end times but existed before. Same reason we could see someone like Gutrot or Skarr, but won't see Phoenix King Malekith

They are not connected to the End Times events.

You sure? I didn't think they were created until Skyre and Moulder worked together during End Times
