Come see the breaking rumors about new Primarchs, and Chaos Legion releases a’la the Daemonkin book?
Grab your salt pills, as we just got more grade “A” rumors from one of the best:
Sad Panda answers a burning question:
Q: I thought Sad Panda… ‘suggested’ it would be Magnus/Angron/Fulgrim for team evil and Guilliman/Leman Russ for team Imperium?
At least to start with…
Though Dorn in a centurion suit would amuse me.
A: No. I only know of one other not-FW primarch in the pipeline. He’ll be “Team Imperium” and part of setting up the story for 8th.
There may be more I simply haven’t heard about, but as with Daemonkin, I can assure you that there is no plan to go through the four Chaos Gods with symmetrical releases. That’s not how the 40K story evolution for the next year or so (from the tiny bits I know) is set up.
Who so that looks to be a confirm of a previous DORN LIVES rumor from earlier below, AND a bit of a step back from the legions rumors we heard earlier in the week.
Either way 40’ks future releases look to be super SPICY!
New Chaos Miniatures Discussion
May we hobby in interesting times….
Looks like we’ll be seeing new versions of Thousand sons for both 30k and 40k, even if the 30k sprues are “generic”, and another primarch fatally wounded by his brother may yet live…
First of the Sad Panda strikes with this missive:
It’s not. The HH Marines in the game will be generic (except for the two characters).
But they come from the same CAD portfolio. Take, say, the computer models of generic 30K Tartaros Pattern Terminators, add 40K bling, change poses, switch a few weapons -> 40K Rubric Terminators. Saves time and effort and costs.
Same for the Tzeentch models. It was a massive design portfolio that included everything from Tzaangors to LoC and Magnus. They may not be the same sprue, but include lots of computer “bitz” and design elements from a large, newly created Tzeentch-design-elements-library.
(Similar approach for Khorne, Stormcast, etc..).
Then Squggly chimes in with this about the Praetorian of Terra:
Q:
A: Dorn is very much alive.
GW’s BIG Reveal & 30k Previous Rumorby Squiggly & More:
Checkout what Squiggly has to say about even MORE Daemon primarch that may be on the horizon, along with fan favorite Chaos cult legion rules:
To quote myself;
“The Cults will be expanded to the point they can form their own mini codexes with the Traitor Primarchs at their head”Q:What is a mini codex? Each of the Cults appears mixed into a Campaign Supplement?
A:Think Genestealer Cultists/Harlequins/Deathwatch.
A codex built around a few unique things, and then filled out with more generic stuff to make it a full codex.Q:Fulgrim has been strangely absent from all the primarch rumors:(
A:He’ll be the last of the Cult Primarchs to get done.
Either Angron/Mortation are the next Daemon Primarchs to get released. I’m not 100% on the order though. I heard about Angron first, but that doesn’t mean alot
The Start of Something BIG:
First off new art: Looks like Arhiman may be fist bumping with Magnus soon – Definitely post Heresy here. Checkout the Thousand Sons decked out in the fore.
Next up is what they say is a new Thousand Sons sprue, which looks to be styled after the old Berzerker models with split legs perhaps. Shoulder pads and heads look the be on the left side. Or it may not be a new sprue at all, either way Tzeentch is pleased.
The full model revealed!
and the quote heard round the world:
Cool this isn’t released for months yet. <Long Pause> Plastic Sisters of Battle!
Mark this day down folks, as the hobby looks to have changed forever. Either that or we just got the biggest troll from GW, either way a good time was had by all…
Earlier today we saw this, perhaps it came form one of those trash bins?
What appears to be a box for a brand new Plastic Magnus Daemon primarch model (judging by the size) is here. If I was a betting man I would say this kit will be well over the $100 mark when it releases based on the Bloodthirster, Alarielle, and Celestant Prime models.
So lot’s more to digest today folks, make sure you take your salt pills, this fall’s releases looks to be super SPICY!
