Well the Grey Knight graveyard just had all their dead just walk away sooooo... LEGION OF THE DAMNED CONFIRMED TO BE IN THE 11TH ED GREY KNIGHT CODEX WITH NEW UNDEAD TERMINATORS!

Crossing my fingers for a Black Templar boxset, we didn't get one with our release and it seems every other chapter has gotten one Christmas box, about time BT gets some Xmas love!

With the rumors for the 11th edition starter box being SM vs Orks this makes a lot of sense.

Which was exactly my point, the sprues and units need a second pass not only because of the Primaris vs Firstborn issue will soon go away but also because their sprues have too many redundant things that need to change that were part of an obsolete design paradigm, you can easily remove all the superfluous options from the hellblaster kit and add other gun options, hell give them autocannons and erase Suppressors from existence.

I hope they dont bring grav bikes if they look like the disgusting block of turd that is the white scar bike, if it was bigger then maybe but it just looks bland! Its like that old chair speeder that FW was selling for 30k sometime ago but without all the nostalgia. Primaris infantry just needs a bit cleaning imo, its a bunch of redundant options that were designed out of a need to not step into firstborn shoes but also not taken far enough to be truly different. Like do Intercessors need 3 types of bolters? Do Phobos units need 3 types of Bolters? Devastators are probably gonna stop existing sooner than later, why not collapse every Tacticus special weapon squad into one kit or unit? Tacticals will also become obsolete, why not recreate them in a new Intercessor box with actual options and not just ammo pouches, Reivers need an actual role and all the Phobos units need something other than slightly different bolters imo. The whole paradigm with which Primaris were designed at first is no longer valid imo and GW have been bringing back old units and straight up updating them sort of proves that so why not go all the way and pull the band aid off and just condense a lot of the unnecessarily redundant Primaris range to make it more like an actual update to the Astartes range instead of the weird half measure with which every model has been designed so far, just get it over with and remove all the firstborn stuff already, we all knew it was coming but GW was too hung up on not pissing off their base while wanting to do something completely different with the range.

Its a massive document, it might as well be another Liber all on its own! There are so many options and units that just werent there to begin with, its such a weird turn of events that I truly think this is a very explicit case of business side trying to tie down the creative side of a project which resulted with cut units and options from the Libers but it seems like they went to other direction with this document and just went to town. I mean, Siege Terminators? Every legion with a Veteran version of Heavy support or Breachers? They knocked it out of the park imo, so kudos to the specialist team. Also Castraferrum are back, Im not sure how my 6 boxy lads are gonna fit in the new army creation rules but Im glad they still live.

Combat drugs or some other chemical enhancer of some kind.

Thats impressive considering how different the HH army rules are, congrats to the entire newrecruit team, its a really good tool.

Closest word in spanish would be "Incendiadoras" which means Inciendaries, so a stylized version of that fits SoB fairly well. I hope its a new raptor kit, regardless of how it looks I think an update of the current kit would be great and another unit for the Night Lords sounds amazing.

This whole thing is quite ridiculous but Im glad they kept the old one, I have no issue with the new drop pod but if given the choice I would still take the old version simply because being able to move the doors does something in my monkey brain so if I ever need more I will probably buy the 30k one. This also makes sense with the way 30k does kits and upgrades, now they can just sell a weapon sprue for Deathstorm Drop Pods so you can swap the passenger seats for a giant missile launcher or something, i personally left the seats empty on a couple of my DPs to eventually do exactly that so its not such a hard idea to implement, so a separate sprue or just add the sprue to the drop pod kit and you can have a whole new unit without having to redesign a completely new kit if they had gone with the new drop pod sculpt.

Thats the history for this faction, sidegrades and fun is all you can expect. Personally Im quite happy with the rules, they seem very fun and thematic, it definitely opens up a lot of new list ideas and I cant wait to test them.

Theres always gonna be new miniaures so I wouldnt read too much on it beyond it being a cheeky joke about upcoming projects.

Now there are pictures of our specific units over on Reddit and it corroborates what Dorn of War leaked yesterday, Sword Brethren are looking really good imo as their chainswords have sustained hits and all the power weapons are mastercrafted so they are all lethal hits and damage 2 but oddly enough there is no longer a Castellan or a combi weapon in the unit so now those bits are just to make an extra Castellan to potentially lead a 4 man SB sqsuad if you wish. A 10 man SB squad with a Marshall is just going to wreck face.

Yeah if its true and he was reading from the codex then its a lot of new rules that certainly change the way the army works, between all the new unit mechanics, new vows and new detachments I think our playstyle will certainly change in some way and whether it ends up being effective in the game or not I think it will at least be fun. I really like the sound of the vehicle detachment, you can just hide a Land Raider behind cover, pop the strat to move through terrain and charge, that opens up a lot of opportunities as does the relic to give scout to a transport which you can use to move forward or as a sort of redeploy to hide behind cover. Im not sure how I would use the new LRC rule but considering it can take way more units than a Razorback it feels like it could be very good.

I foresee a lot of Marshalls and Castellans leading all sorts of squads, I like the transport detachment the most and the Emperors Champion seems like an absolute beast! Your charactes? TORN TO SHREDS!. Some things are very situational, others are really strong, so far it looks like the army will be carried on the backs of certain characters and a couple strats but at least it looks fun.
