First, the Thousand Sons, then Death Guard, and World Eaters- Fulgrim Daemon Primarch and the Emperor’s Children are up next for 40k!
We’ve heard word on the Emperor’s Children for a while now. Rumor after rumor seems to come and go. here is a look at the latest news and rumors on a Daemon Primarch Fulgrim model and Emperor’s Children.
Remember to take everything with a pinch of salt. These are all rumors.
Daemon Fulgrim Lore Spotted in Arks of Omen: Will He Return with a Miniature?
The screenshots come from Valrak, and with the big reveal of Angron, Games Workshop making all four of the Daeom Primarchs is on everyone’s minds…
The picture comes from the new Arks of Omen Abaddon book, and this is actually the first time in a long time that GW mentioned Fulgrim by name!
That is actually a much bigger hint than many of the previous rumors. We’ve talked a lot about how GW does not like to make any lore or have artwork for models they don’t have a miniature for. By actually mentioning him by name, it actually sets the stage for his return.
This also confirms that Fulgrim is out there doing (mostly bad) things in the Galaxy. Again, there have been rumors of a new Emperor’s Children codex, so adding a Primarch to the line would really make people excited.
We’ll have to see how long it takes (as the rumors say they won’t drop until 10th edition); it would be awesome to see a scaled-up version of the old model.
Earlier Slaanesh Rumors
If you’ve been keeping up with some rumors and the lore of 8th and 9th edition, you’ll know that a “serpent” has been mentioned a number of times, slaughtering Guardsmen in sectors of space.
Fugrim is supposedly 100% in the works, as he may have left his pleasure world after all!
Emperor’s Children Codex Rumors SPOTTED
If Fulgrim comes back, it would only make sense for his Legion to back him up.
There are rumors swirling of the Emperor’s Children getting a codex, in the same vein as Death Guard and Thousand Sons before them. This would be a large full release with all manner of new minis.
According to the rumor, Noise Marines were mentioned along with some kind of Marine/cavalry unit. Fulgrim is supposedly going to be in their Codex as well, further tying these rumors into one another.
Slaanesh & Emperor’s Children Rumors
A long time ago there were rumors are telling us that in the realm of 40k, we can expect to see:
- Lucius the Eternal rework
- New Noise Marine kits
- Fulgrim
- Noise Marine Terminators
- Fabius Bile rework (already happened)
- possibly a Noise Marine cavalry unit (Would these guys just be riding Seekers of Slaanesh)?
So when should we be keeping our eyes peeled for these things? Rumors look to be pointing toward s2023/2024
This is the first real-time we’ve heard of any kind of Noise Marine Terminator units! Maybe they’ll have more dakka from the standard Noise Marines in power armor. It would make sense that they’d be able to dish out more sound… They are bigger, after all.
Another Nod To Emperor’s Children
When Chaos got all of its support for Vigilus Ablaze, GW commented that the new Chaos Marine sculpts were 100% compatible with the existing Noise Marine bits. Some fans were upset as they thought GW glazed over the entire Emperor’s Children faction.
However, they could leave a window open for more focused support later. This has been supported by many rumors that they will get their book after the World Eaters.
Currently, there are Death Guard, Thousand Sons, and a new World Eaters codex book. That only leaves Emperor’s Children to complete the pantheon of renegade Astartes allied to the four Chaos gods. Putting Fulgrim in the book would be the perfect character to lead the EC army!
Let’s look at the possible timeline for everything to come out based on 10th edition launching in 2023:
- 2016: Magnus & The Thousand Sons
- 2017: Mortarion & The Death Guard
- 2023: Angron & The World Eaters
- 2023-2024: Fulgrim & The Emperor’s Children?
