Mortarion To Be the Next Primarch?

By James Rodriguez | May 27th, 2017 | Categories: Warhammer 40k, Warhammer 40k Rumors

Games Workshop said during their Q&A that the next primarch will be covered in a cowl, and now we have a new Death Guard Teaser!

Games Workshop just announced Nurgle’s Angel! Who else could it be but Mortarion himself?! Let’s take a look at the new video: An Angel of Decay.

We got to see a glimpse of the all familiar scythe that Mortarion wields, and because of the orientation it seems like we’re looking at him from the back.

Games Workshop did their second live Q&A two weeks ago, and even though we didn’t get a release date we did get a hint at who the next primarch will be. There’s been on primarch we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, all rumors seem to circle around him, and GW has given us a couple previews of him. GW’s said the next primarch will be covered in a cowl, but what’s a cowl?

Cowl: a large loose hood, especially one forming part of a monk’s habit.

Mortarion has been talked about a lot this year and he’s covered in a cowl. Could he be the primarch that GW was hinting at? Let’s take a look at some other recent rumor pics of Mortarion and you be the judge.

So could it be Mortarion they were talking about when they mentioned the cowl? The 8th edition starter set is rumored to be Ultramarines and Death Guard so it would actually make a lot of sense if this is the case. What are your thoughts? Do you think  Mortarion is the mystery man in the cowl? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
