That will be one of the children of Laocoon. GW like classical references.

You mean the ones that make a 'V' shape denoting the Roman numeral for the number 5? As in 5th edition?

Very cool looking. I've looking forward to see what 5th edition brings since the PDF was leaked. I like the artwork on the cover and 40K's classic one liner.
|
No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

I agree about the Laocoon reference, but it also probably represents the Emperor battling the serpent of Chaos.
This cover is much more eye-attracting than the 4th edition cover. I like it. It's no Rogue Trader cover, but I like it.

I'm pretty sure that's a halo over the Emperor. Someone mentioned Laocoon earlier, good pickup  . Laocoon and his sons were strangled by serpents sent by a God...not unlike the Emperor and his Marine/Primarch 'sons' being strangled by Chaos (Which presents to Horus as a snake cult). 5th right around the corner....

I hope GW posts the 5e video on their websites. The version I saw was taken on a cellphone, so it is too tiny/far away from the screen. The video confirms July 2008 also.
