There’s a new rumor floating around saying Leman Russ will be coming back in 2018, but as a Daemon primarch. Come check it out!

Another day, and another Faeit rumor. This time their sources are claiming to have inside information on upcoming revealing that Leman Russ will be coming back as a Daemon primarch early next year.

This is a rumor so make sure you add a plenty of salt, and by salt we mean is it:

fake or real

via Michael Tite in the comment sections on Faeit 212

This is actually real. Although I don’t know how the person got hold of the unit entry from March’s codex..
The Dark Wolves and Leman Russ are a new faction of corrupted Khornate Wulfen. This is taken from that codex.
Other units include corrupted Wulfen Contemptor, Wulfen as infantry units, smaller wolf beasts which are scouts and much larger, mutated Wulf en which are similar in size to obliterators. They’re like their terminators in the elite slot in units of 3 but without armour and bearing massive claws.
The backstory with Khorne is based on them fighting Khornate legions I’m the eye for so long and they eat them and get corrupted by the blood which has been hexed to poison them. Russ has to make a deal with Khorne to fight for them or they die. If they go too long without combat they lose wounds and this is reflected in gameplay, if they go a turn without combat they start to turn on each other and this replaces their morale mechanic. (a bit like Orks). However, if they kill one of their unit the rest of the unit get a buff.

Let’s take a look at the datasheet that this rumor is referring to.

Leman Russ Rumor

The datasheet should be taken with just as much salt as the rumor. Now and days it’s too easy to create a datasheet in photoshop, throw it out on the internet, and hope someone bites. So when we saw this we were skeptical ourselves. But if the rumor and datasheet are in fact true then it looks like we’re going to be seeing some really Khorney Wolves coming our way next March.

But one more thing to consider is will he be the next primarch released? If so, that will make three Chaos primarchs to the Imperial’s one, now that doesn’t really seem fair…

Nonetheless this rumor is floating around and we wanted to make sure you considered all angles of it. Make sure you’re checking back in with us for the latest updates. If this is true then you can imagine Games Workshop will start teasing stuff early next year.

What are your thoughts on the latest rumor? Could we be seeing Leman Russ coming back as a Chaos primarch? Or is this just another rumor that will be forgotten about before it’s even proven wrong? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
