More teasers for what’s next in 40k may have just been spotted inside the Saga of the Beast book. Check out the latest on Psychic Awakening.
The short story page inside the Saga of the Beast book has been making rounds across the web and there are two key things mentioned. There’s one story on what could be Fabius Bile talking and one story on someone with a spear.
Whether this is a Custode (which we know was mentioned as 100% coming) or Vulkan Hestan from the Salamanders, we’re not sure. Check the stories out for yourself.
Did Saga of The Beast Just Reveal Chaos & Custodes Next?
Before we jump straight into the latest on what’s been spotted, it’s important to remember that we have a new Fabius model on the way as well. Here are all the angles we have of him right now.
After reading what’s above you have to think Who would have the audacity to question the Emperor’s creation? Well, seeing that Fabius a genius of creation himself combined with the fact that we’ve seen (what looks to be) a Primaris Bile model on the way, things are looking pretty safe for our guess being Bile speaking here.
As for the Emperor’s works, it’s probably safe to say he’s talking about the new Primaris Marines. Especially now that we’ve also seen one of Fabius’ cronies pulling gene-seed out of the neck of a dead one.

Now let’s get onto the other short story…
Custodes or Salamanders? (Probably Custodes & Here’s Why)
With this short story, it’s talking about Death Guard on Barbarus (i.e Mortartion’s home planet). We’re not exactly sure who is speaking here but we know he’s got a spear. That leaves two good options right off the top of our head…Either Custodes or Salamanders (cause they hate the Death Guard). But it’s probably the former.
Vulkan He’stan with the bearing the spear of Vulkan.
Looking at these confirmed factions for Psychic Awakening, we don’t see anything on Salamanders. However, Custodes are still untouched. We also know that they’ve got all different kinds of spears as wargear.
Plus, from a gameplay standpoint, Death Guard have one of the tankiest infantry units you can play in 40k. For the loyalists, Custodes fill that slot as well.
At the end of the day, we won’t know for certain until we see more official previews. But it’s safe to say that things are picking up speed already for what’s ahead!
What’s Next in Psychic Awakening: Fulgrim, DG, Necrons RUMORS
Do you think Fabius Bile is the one talking in the first story? Will we see Primaris Chaos units in the days ahead? Would a 1v1 of Custodes vs. Death Guard make for an interesting Psychic Awakening expansion?
