It is probably going to be Lemman, because his model is done. But who knows, GW had some models ready at the start of 8th, and they sat out the entire edition to drop in 9th.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

Lenam Russ is the only one that would make sense.

I love Kahn and Corax but I don't think they have the player base to warrant a return.
Sanguinius and Manus should stay dead.
Dorn could be interesting if he took over the Custodes, but has no real fun draw.
Vulcan is possible, but unlikely. The Salamanders are still banged up from the Heresy? Really? No known successors?

For Traitors, they should end at Fulgrim.

No, no, no, I have it on good authority he will be released
Spoiler:
next year during the "Blomahaus" campaign when the Iron Warrior daemon princes of the "Trinary Py'Gees" set up their fortresses near Fenris in the Blomahaus system. Russ then arrives from the warp and helps his sons destroy their fortresses using a relic known as "The Breath of Russ".

What about the idea of stealing one from the other team? Now that Papa E is a literal god, he can "forgive" Magnus (Pardon him from his sins, think catholic) and offer to bring him back to into the fold. This could also be done with Morty, as was hinted at the end of the book, where the emperor beats him up and essentially says, I'll welcome you back when you are ready.

I am not saying this is at all likely, but I'd much rather a redeemed primarch arch.

And how could he do this? Custodes could be his allies if they judged his cause worthy of their support but would never be his subordinates in a way of SM.

You take one, you give one:

Dorn returns but it's actually Omegon, the only ones to get wise to the trick are the Black Templars that see the truth in religious visions they receive with increasing frequency.

Ferrus returns as some sort of Saint/Avatar/Demon Prince of the Emperor, leading the Legion of the Damned.

The Emps gave Magnus a chance at redemption.

Spoiler:
Big E offered the Grey Knights in place of Magnus' already damned sons. Magnus refuses and takes umbridge and fighting in the Throne room fully encompasses the power of Chaos.


I dont think Daemon Magnus is on the xmas card list.


What would Daemon Morty even be able to offer? He had totally turned to Chaos by the time of the SoT. Still proud and arrogant and hurt. Morty wouldn't take the Emps hand even if he could.

Could be anything really, atho judging from CSM, they favor factions with a history of having a miniatures range.

Since Sanguinus is canon-dead, i'd say Leman Russ next, but not before 11th or 12th.

Blood Angels will get a Sanguinor-who-is-totally-not-Sanguinius update as a diorama character in the vein of the Craftworld' Avatar. Since Blood Angels are most likely due for an update in 10th, it might happen sooner rather than later.

The Khan.

Russ denotes the End Times, and the last time a GW game had 'End Times' it didn't go so well, so let's leave Russ out of it.

Sanguinius and Ferrus are dead. Dorn probably as well. Vulkan would be pretty cool, honestly. Corax? Meh.

I'll throw out another counterintuitive vote.

It's Russ.

Chaos Spawn Russ.

Led on a leash by the 1000 Sons Sorcerer who's been torturing and mutating him for 10,000 years.

Well Dorn is currently a skeleton hanging in the Fists battle barge so I would say yes.

Though an undead skeleton primarch would be cool.

Before we have that derail again: it used to be his whole skeleton, but that got retconned to the majority of his body being missing, with just a hand that was found.

They should bring back Russ but super fethed up and mutated because of his time in the warp. Like, still human and loyal, but weird enough that you could plausibly accuse him of being a daemon primarch if you happened to dislike him. The whole primarchs vs. conservatives thing they've got going on right now for the Imperium's internal strife can be compelling but the primarchs definitely need a major political embarrassment to put them on the back foot and mutated Russ could be just that.

This would have the added bonus of making it so Russ can be huge and have stats rivaling Magnus, obviously.

Lets be clear: What would GW make the most money off of? Sanduinius would be the sexiest model in years, cost a ton, and would cause the Blood fans to go ape.

Russ would be cool, if he came out like, a lupegarue. Or a wierd 40k version of Marchosias, the creator of Werewolves.
Vulkan could come back as the token black power ranger, but then sales would likely suffer. Nope, Sang would make the most money, hands down.

Fulgrim will be next followed by Ferrus as a dreadnaught using his severed head found in fulgrims trophy room. Nothing more iron-hands than going full blown dreadnaught, a primarch size dread would be epic.

Basically a hill giant sized Wolfen. I could go for that, a bit kinder to the character than my wolf-chaos-spawn idea but still something more interesting than Russ popping out of a porthole unchanged after 10,000 years.

I like the Iron Hands dread for the same reason. Let's see that something has changed in 10k years!

Well of course! I only acknowledge canon sources, not retcons.

And come on, scrimshawed skeleton Dorn animated by psychic voodoo and sheer will would be an awesome character as he ejaculates white hot death into the faces of his foes.

Again, the Class of 30k reunion should have more changes than Liono grew a beard and Bobby Williams has a new GF.
