New Chaos Sorcerer, Faith & Fury Psychic Awakening Previews

Ahriman The ExileIt’s happening, a Chaos Sorceror miniature plus the next edition of Psychic Awakening: Faith & Fury was just previewed. Don’t miss this!

It’s raining new Warhammer 40k! We’re one book down in Psychic Awakening and have lots more previews and rumors to go.

Phoenix Rising norm

We know book one was Phoenix Rising, but what about the next three books for Psychic Awakening?  It looks like Sablednah may have cracked the code. Check out the latest from his site:

40k’s Next 3 Psychic Awakening Rulebooks?

Earlier on, Sablednah managed to dig deep into the Warhammer Community site and pulled out some pretty exciting finds.

Using the HTML code, the map would zoom in on certain sectors of the galaxy. Looking at which faction’s homeworlds were closeby, here’s what we could be seeing soon.

Things To Keep in Mind

  • GW has already said that every faction would have a stake in the Psychic Awakening expansion.
  • The pattern could be a new character/book for every faction involved
  • We may see old character models get updated
  • This entire event could run the course of a few years as that’s how long it took for each faction to get their first codex (since 2017).
  • The order of events/factions to get support looks unclear.

Coming from An Actual Englishmen on Dakka Dakka in short, this looks to be the rumored release schedule of everything in the coming months:

With volumes 2, 3 and 4 mentioned, it’s time to break down the rumors that spilled the details of the future releases. Remember take everything with a pinch of salt!

Psychic Awakening Book #2 – Terra-ish?

Recently Sablednah found that the Sisters of Battle icon was next in line, which along with the Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, Night Lords, Emperor’s Children, World Eaters, White Scars, and Black Templars were spotted in the October 20th preview:

It would make sense that the Sisters of Battle would be next as it could pair up nicely with their new release in the coming month(s)

Book 2 Rules and Release rumors

Factions we could be seeing in Book 2 based on GW’s teaser images:

  • Sisters of Battle (highly likely)
  • Night Lords
  • Emperor’s Children
  • World Eaters
  • Word Bearers

  • White Scars

Psychic Awakening “Faith & Fury” Rules Rumors:

Sisters of battle army set

Back to Kikasstou on B&C, he gave some possible (very) good insight on what’s ahead:

  • Black Templars and Chaos would be the main two factions in Volume 2.
  • Librarians, Chaplains, and Techmarines will have the leveling system introduced. (Level 2 Chaplains know one extra litany, for example).
  • Level 2 Techmarines will head flat 3 instead of D3 when they repair.
  • Making a character a level 2 unit will come in the form of a 1CP Stratagem.
  • All Space Marine Chapters will have access to upgrading characters to level 2.
  • Black Templars can’t use any Imperial Fist supplement rules; Psychic Awakening vol. 2 will be their “supplement”.
  • Sadly, there won’t be any new Black Templar Primaris models for Helbrecht, Grimaldus, or the Emperor’s Champion.
  • The possibilities are open for a new Chaos Sorcerer.
  • Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle will also be present. However, would not be the main focus.

GW’s Psychic Awakening Preview:

faith and fury supplement

Warhammer Community confirmed the new supplement and more at the Blood & Glory event late Saturday, November 2nd.

In the 41st Millennium, things are getting intense. We’ve got characters new and old joining the fray, the hotly anticipated arrival of the Sisters of Battle, and of course the ongoing saga of the Psychic Awakening. With Phoenix Rising now on shelves, this epic conflict has officially begun – and we’re just getting started. The next book in the series sees us turn to the Imperium and their chaotic enemies in Faith & Fury. 

This tome will see the Psychic Awakening’s effects begin to take hold in the Imperium, as the Emperor’s most faithful warriors go head to head with the Heretic Astartes. What’s more, the book will include codex supplement-tier content for the Black Templars, Night Lords, Alpha Legion, World Eaters, Emperor’s Children, Iron Warriors and Word Bearers.

So per the symbols on their teaser, it looks like we’ll be getting updates for the remainder of the traitor legions sans Black Legion (updated in Vigilus) and the two with existing Chaos supplements; Thousand Sons, and Death Gaurd respectively.

Plus another recent rumor looks to be confirmed as Chaos is indeed getting a new Sorceror model that was the subject of a Rumor Engine many, many months ago…

2019 chaos sorcerer

Combining visual touches from classic Chaos Sorcerer models with the aesthetic of the new Heretic Astartes, this malevolent mage will be the ideal leader for your forces in the battles to come.

Black Friday Releases For Faith & Fury

We had heard rumors of a Black Templars starter box that may be on the way recently. However, from these previews, It looks like the only box set for this release may be a new Chaos Sorceror and the Sisters of Battle Army Box. Which is further supported the recent release sheet leak.

november 29 product pricing rumors

Coming from @wagamingdave, it looks like some sort of pricing has been revealed for what’s ahead. Just as much as the products themselves are rumors, so are the prices. However, going off of what some of the more recent GW releases have been, these price points may be surprisingly accurate.

So while we’re still waiting on the rumors to be debunked or confirmed, what would you like to see come inside of “Faith & Fury”?
