New portents were just spotted today that may indicate the Veterans of the Long War may be set to return soon. Will Chaos rise again in 2016?
Guess what’s missing from the displays cases at Warhammer World…
This was just sent in to Spikey Bits today from the Forge World Open:
Missing from the cases are the original traitor legions of Death Guard, Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, Emperor’s Children, and the Black Legion.
Why this is important:
Traditionally the Games Workshop studio removes models for photo shoots for upcoming publications and events. In the past we’ve seen a whole army “go missing” for a day or two only to appear in a new supplements or White Dwarf spread for a new release months later.
Recently we saw the Sisters of Battle get some snaps of their own. At this time however it’s unclear a this time whether these Chaos models are on display elsewhere at the Forge World Open, or are indeed getting their 15 minutes of studio fame.
If Chaos will rise again is everyone but Games Workshop’s guess at this point however, but it would be cool to see them make an appearance in the new format White Dwarf this September for sure.
Notice there are some “Chaos” Rumored releases set for this year still as well:
