They meant to be releasing a new Gaming system for Smaller Titans this year?

Might be for that maybe?

That would be Adeptus Titanicus, which most likely won't be seen until next year.

Just catching up on P&M blogs this morning when Dsteingass had mentioned that most imperial guard kits have a restock date of early august, except for Catchcans which he was not given an estimated date for. This could be for them, as RG would need to muster the imperial guard/Astra whatever to fight the chaos onslaught. New plastics are direly needed there too.

restock date...for physical stores? or what?...because I'd noticed on the GW webstore, the catachan kits have been on "online exclusive" order for a fair while now, at least in Australia...

I certainly wouldn't complain about some fresh catachans though, they sure do need a new kit!

He sent GW an email, he is bulking out his guard army and a few things were out of stock. GW responded with the dates for all the kits except the catchcans. Could be the usual worn out mold, no date yet, but that image does scream death world to me.

Man, people are really really really hung up on the skull. Skulls are all over the 40k universe. This is the weakest clue in the video. You have a subway sounding train in the background, traffic, and crowd noises, sparks from something being made or a subway train, a manhole cover looking thing... We know FW / Specialist games IS coming out with Necromunda Sept/Oct, we saw a bit hint that looks like Jericho's pistol, Tony Cottrell is wearing the symbol and talking about a new (boxed) game being revealed and played August 30th, WD will have Necromunda.... But hey, a skull! Must be Khorne! Must be Nurgle! Must be what I want it to be! In all good humor, look and listen to all the clues in that video. It's either Necromunda, or maybe (long stretch) Adeptus Titanicus perhaps.

It's already been established it's reused sound effects from dawn of war I believe?

Dawn of war had a clunkity clunk of a subway or train sound? Not buying that it has anything to do with Dawn of War.

It's from the base building sounds apparently. Doesn't mean the video has anything to do with DoW.

Why even point it out then?

Because the video made use of DoW sounds? Hence why it's relevant. It is not a "subway" or "train" sound.

Yeah that's kinda what I was driving at, people are hearing "city noises" because they expect necromunda and it's vague enough to be interpreted that way. It is true of just about every thing people claim is tied to necromunda in this thread tbh.

It'S intersting, taht it appears to be connected to FW. In one twitch session a FW Guy wore the logo as a batch. And on Instagram, some FW painters shared it too

Maybe we are all looking at this the wrong way. Maybe this is going to be the new logo for the Specialist Games Developers and we will be getting a preview of what's to come? There was a hint of that kind of thing in this months white dwarf.

That would be a killer logo for specialist games!

It is also the page icon for the 40k intro page.

nah...that just looks like a normal aquila to me, just with the wings cut off because of the size/shape of the image

You are correct. Source code shows link to the full aquila.

I reckon it's Steel Legion.

That's your opinion.

A few reasons; the 8th Rulebook features them dozens of time in the images, Cadia has blown up and with it a great excuse to move the Cadians to direct only, Armageddon has moved back into the limelight and could be the first big campaign expansion (excluding Konor), DKOK are a popular FW line, long coat guard have been long rumoured, they would sell like hot cakes (basically printing money). The las-weapon that looks like a necromunda model could be an Armageddon pattern las-weapon. The sergeants have skull masks on their helmets. Aquila is an imperial symbol.

You could pick holes in any of the reasons, it's just a hunch and the above is why I think why. As soon as I looked into the new rulebook the amount of screen time the steel legion got was surprising so I have suspected them coming for a little while now.

I think Steel Legion are basically the Chinese version of Krieg, but they are cool enough that I'll be very happy if they become the new face of the Imperial Guard.

I still believe that Vostroyans are the perfect mix of historical and 40k fantasy from all of the Imperial Guard regimens, tought. The rest are or just a historical rip off (Mordians, Valhallans, Krieg and Steel Legion) or a "fantasy rip off (Cadians with Starship Troopers, Catachans with Rambo, etc...)

I am so ready for a new Armageddon war, it's my favourite warzone, has my favourite guard (well kinda second next to DKoK), favourite chapter and chaplain, my first novel I read, nothin but war war and war!

And I don't need to paint faces anymore.

40k imperial guard spec ops !

GW getting in on the modern war/ COD aesthetic.

The new Sly Marbo is going to be Major Price.......

I joke of course :thumbs up:

Hah! The 30th anniversary of Predator is this year. Prime time to re-visit the Catachans.

If you're right again, I will paint my next sergeant's head pink. I swear.

Haha, it's on!

all this talk about Armageddon has me wondering just how much of a ridiculous-level grizzled old badass Snikrot must be by now...

Steel Legion makes sense except for the hints that it's a Forge World/Specialist Games release. I'm still betting on Necromunda but would be cool with Steel Legion.
