The Spider is here! Check out the new Fabius Bile model and what’s coming in the new War of the Spider Psychic Awakening supplement!
The first week of the Biggest GW Previews ever are here! Rescheduled due to the cancelation of Adepticon, Games Workshop is revealing their latest news and previews on Twitch and Warhammer Community today! 
Sure, we’ve seen a few models here and there over the past weeks, however here’s the new fully revealed “Spider”, A.K.A Fabius Bile!
Adepticon Online: New Fabius Bile Model Fully Revealed
Seen first on the Twitch Stream, the GW team has confirmed that they pulled inspiration for the new Fabius from the 2nd Edition Chaos Codex Mark Gibbons artwork.
They actually did the same thing for Mephiston earlier on. Now, we’ve got a pattern for the moves GW is making and we can expect more Mark Gibbons-inspired models in the future.
As well as returning with an epic new model, Fabius is also the cover star of the next book in the Psychic Awakening saga – War of the Spider. As he spins his plans and schemes, his enemies close in on him – the Death Guard, Officio Assassinorum and Talons of the Emperor all have their reasons for wanting to stop Bile. Along with background on the battles taking place amid the ruins of the Cadia System, the book will include new rules for the Adeptus Custodes, Sisters of Silence and Imperial Assassins. There are also additional rules for each of the seven Plague Companies of the Death Guard and a new Chaos Space Marines sub-faction called Agents of Bile, representing the twisted creations of the Clonefather.
He is the Spider in War of the Spider- He’s Also Getting His Own Faction
So it sounds like Fabius is still not very good at making friends. But with all the new Primaris dudes dropping dead on the battlefields, Fabius might have gathered enough pieces to start his own faction called the Agents of Bile. We know that Fabius is also going to be getting the spotlight in the next book with all the other factions shown above tracking him down.
On the Twitch stream, the GW team also mentioned something called The Torchbearer fleet. Sounds like it might be some kind of Custodes/Marine warband?
After looking at all these new teasers on the way to 40k, one of the biggest things we have to look forward to is how Fabius’ new warriors look. They could be Primaris…Or they could just be some kind of twisted, grim reflection of Primaris with some heavy body modifications. We’ll just have to keep our eyes on the horizon for more ahead.

What do you think about Fabius’ new model cosmetically? Would you like to see Primaris units with horns and spikes? Will Fabius make them look like some twisted Dark Eldar-inspired version of a Marine (maybe with a third arm)? How big do you think his new subfaction will be?
