The first 4 are always a shoe-in. Can we not like, have 12 in addition to those must-haves? :P If not, then the below for the additional: Legion First Heretic Know No Fear Betrayer Scars The Path of Heaven Praetorian of Dorn The Master of Mankind Not only are they among generally the best books of the entire HH series, imo, they also contain a lot of the storyline pushes outside the powerbloc of the first 4. If I could expand by several more, for more context on story and factions; Fulgrim Mechanicum Prospero Burns (or Thousand Sons, you probably don't need both for beginners to get story, in this limited scenario that we set ourselves in this thread)) Slaves to Darkness, possibly?

Guess it really is skulls for the skull throne

There was a decent short way back, featuring him crusading on Ullanor with daddy E, and we also already have multiple bits of the big ol' Warmaster celebration, so I am not entirely sure that they will be that obvious. But then again, it's an easy one to return to I suppose.

"Scottish is only one away from English!" But I would wager anyone that thought like that, hasn't heard the proper Glaswegian accents - I would take Nordic English over trying to decode what a proper Glaswegian is trying to say to me, and I say that as an Englishman.

Bit surprised to see the debate going on here. Was a fan favourite of old art, was it not? It's nice to see it brought into the new world, whatever they deigned to call it. They try and do nice things for us! Yet some people want to argue over imagined slights and semantics.

Thank you

This thread seems to be one of the longest lasting around, and most consistently praised. Did they ever make a big ol' compilation release? Or is it still a case of searching far and wide for all the different bits?

surely it makes more sense with Angron, because he has always had wings? Wasn't Fulgrim supposed to just be a giant snake-like creature. Wings are a new thing?

every new vehicle introduced in the primaris age looks like something a 9 year old would draw. As previously argued by Scribe I believe; The general art direction of the new stuff is just atrocious. You are going to have to just live with the fact the creator of Astartes seems to prefer the older generation, buddy ;)

Vaults of Terra would be shorter, has human/space marine/more to satisfy all, and is appropriately grim dark as hell. Ive said before elsewhere that Kill Team is a good self contained novel that also introduces known kind of tropes and ab adequate "omg" moment for those wanting a dose of space marines without overdoing it (imo going 'full space marine' too early will take away the impact of their introduction)

Is the kid in the trailer child-Titus? Are we going to get some flashbacks? Titus has some (slightly less dazzling) blue eyes, if you go frame by frame in the trailer. Psyker person seems to appear in half-frames throughout the rapid-succession frames. Kind of sounds like Edris Elba, too. Though it might just be someone with a similar voice - surely that guy can't be *everywhere* ?

Thanks for explaining the reddit drama - I don't follow such things so was not aware. I would agree with earlier comments that the less that silly stuff is debated, the better. Just hyped for the episode and any future content it may well spawn. The more mainstream exposure our hobby gets, the more likely we get some more awesome shows/animations/films - same goes for a number of these other franchises they are effectively promoting with this show (except Concord, perhaps. RIP. Perhaps the creators of that will at least get a good send-off with a decent episode)

Was looking for reddit posts regarding the new trailer and found some guy on a sub called 'HorusGalaxy' getting his knickers in a twist over the fact there's a coloured Space Marine. Apparently they're everywhere now, and he is genuinely concerned Titus may be race-replaced. What is wrong with people? Anyway, that aside; The show looks great and I am looking forward to the UT and Armoured Core episodes as well as the obvious WH40K (which the clips we have seen so far look fab) - I don't know some of the other franchises very well, but Sifu looks like it will be an interesting one.

Some blasts from the past re-connecting with WH40K - OG DoW cinematic dude for this, The Lord Inquisitor guy headed up the recent Deathwatch vignette, too. I had wondered if/when the latter might resurface, what with the U-turn in GW's policies on animation since his go at things way back when.

Possibly the best load of winners I've seen to date - e.g The Khan entry is almost life-like. The quality nowadays is pretty mental. I wouldn't want to be a judge with such fine margins deciding who gets the top places.
