Fantasy is going to round bases, and now 40k is on square??? Surely Chaos is afoot here and have doctored these pictures?

This picture surfaced today via a twitter account on El Descanso del Escriba that clearly shows Space Marine vehicles on square bases and then not in the larger picture below it (via Black Library).
It’s obviously a publication of some kind, but right now we don’t know which one.

What does it all mean? Well I guess it’s either for display, personal preference, OR something…. else.
All shall be revealing this weekend when the new book drops.
