I totally agree and I think that it would only be worth GW's risk if 40K sales were tanking the way WFB's were before they blew up the Old World. As long as 40K remains profitable, we can expect more of the same. My personal feeling is that 40K setting is a bit more distinctive and different from anything else out there. WFB was always a mashup of LOTR/D&D/Eternal Champion etc.

I am thinking they get more mileage out of a Captain than Dante. S8 on the charge in a SoS Detachment is pretty sweet and you have a free Red Rampage each turn from Rites of Battle. I think that is probably stronger than +1" Charge and +1 to Hit. Sadly Priests cannot join the Sanguinary Guard as the 5+++ is probably exactly the shot in the arm they need. My SP will continue to buff my Van Vets instead.

Yes, if the target has an Invulnerable save, it is a more significant buff. Otherwise AP-4 will get the job done against most targets. Legends are always iffy as it depends on where you are playing as to whether they are available.

I was hoping they would take the points cost of SG down to 150. At 30ppm, that would put SG on par with BGVs but I think 155 is close enough to make them interesting. SG have roughly the same hitting power as BGVs but are more fragile. They are significantly more mobile though.

Make the most of them while we still have our WGBL in Terminator armour.

I would definitely love to see something like that.

It is very much the same as comic universes. Very few heroes or villains are ever killed off and even more rarely for good. Johnny Storm's death led to the Fantastic Four temporarily replacing him with Spiderman for a while but he returned after a while. Comics don't like killing people off for good because they are popular with fans and it precludes future stories with those characters. 40K is the same. There will never be an "ending" to the narrative because GW will always want to sell new models. Look at the kerfuffle caused when it was revealed that Yarrick had died "off-screen" at the start of 10th edition. The closest I think we will get is Gathering Storm which was the biggest shakeup of the lore in over a decade but even there, GW held back from blowing up the setting. They did this with Fantasty but only because sales had fallen to around 25% of the value of 40K and they decided for a radical reboot. Maybe if 40K sales plunge in the far future then GW will reboot the setting by having the Imperium fail and the Emperor get up off the Golden Throne (they did a lite version of this with Guilliman and the Indomitus Crusade).

I think this is a reaction to 8th and particularly 9th where vehicles could be popped with a hard stare and some strong language. They were basically not worth taking unless they had an invulnerable save like Knights. Tanks work well in 10th IMHO and are sufficiently durable to be worthwhile without being indestructible. Some infantry anti-tank weapons are not as strong as they were but most factions seem to have multiple viable ways to deal with vehicles, even if those are not the same as they were in previous editions. Ravenwing have a bit of a hard time as Multmeltas don't work too well without a source of rerolls. Possibly the new Stormspeeders fill this niche to some extent.

The problem is that his Catechism of Fire ability lacks a good pairing. Giving a handful of bolt rifles Dev Wounds is not especially strong (although they are twin-linked which helps a bit). You can add in an ATV but OGCs have Dev Wounds already so don't benefit and MMs don't really need it so much.

If we get Russ to close out the edition and a buffed Sanguinor (hopefully) as a Primarch-equivalent for the Blood Angels then all the Big 4 chapters will have a massive centrepiece leader model by the end of 10th.

Lastalons are pretty close to the Superkrak missiles on the Desolators. Talons get an extra point of Ap, the missiles get an extra 12" range. Gravis is tougher than Tacticus but that becomes less important at longer range. Also the Desolators get the bonus indirect fire. I would rather full sized Lascannons to make up for the likely squatting of Devastators in 11th edition.

I have a soft spot for good ol' TDA. If they can do as good a job on Logan as they did on Belial, I will be one happy puppy!

Yes, it really represented the nadir of the "Wolfy McWolf-face" design aesthetic.

A new Logan would be surprising given he is quite a new sculpt and already in plastic. Then again, the other 3 big named Chapter Masters have now crossed the Rubicon so perhaps it was inevitable.

When you are dealing with the Warp, mythology can be as solid as steel. On the whole thought, different races seem to have different deities in the Warp. Khaine is not Khorne, despite both being war gods. The exception seems to be Slaanesh who started out as an Eldar god but broadened its tastes to include humans too.
