Valrak is drumming up tomorrow for a 'Huge' reveal about the Lion... would make sense if AoO Book 2 contains that stuff and they want to hype it on the community page before the preorders go live.

Problem with that theory is they would be more likely to introduce Lion on his own book. As a side note in Angron's book feels weird. Either Lion or Angron gets the side-show then.

Might be "the rock arrives to assist at the last second, ordered there by the most unexpected of forces..." fin.

iirc, they confirmed a 5th book.

Could be Lion in that book. Would fit, as long as the story keeps going in that direction.

Contents? So far seen names of 4 but 5th was mystery last i saw.

We know there's 5th. Do we know who it's About? If lion comes pre-10th that book is logical for it and name would likely be lion el'johnson etc. Would also then make sense for gw to keep title secret as long as possible as name would be giant spoiler...

From WD:

Ok to recap, by June we have:

- Arks of Omen complete
- Legalese document expires everything
- Current matched play season/rules ends
- GW Open with no 40K singles event
- No new Codex left

So 10th likely well known by May and release in June logically. I'd wager the matched play seasons slip back to July/August for 10th to accommodate some of the bigger tournaments a little better. They struggle with getting data from Adepticon and rules clashes with LVO otherwise.

So far the speculation is that the 4th book contains Farsight and Snikrot, based on the fact that we know their miniatures are coming and the preview that showed the books had the cover stamped with ''Redacted by the Ordo Xenos'' instead of ''the Inquisition'' or ''Ordo Malleus'', which would leave the 5th book for the Lion. The amount of hype and buildup to all of this would be about right for the return of a loyalist Primarch, we know that the DA are involved, DA are about due for a new codex, and the various hints in the story and the tarot cards can at least interpreted to hint at the Lion. The plot thickens, as they say.

We also have Warhammer Fest over the last weekend of April, going into May, which would of course be the best possible event to reveal the new edition.

The new AoO tarot video is 'The young warrior' and shows a human knight wielding the Dawnblade and a horse in Tau armour Not exactly Lion-related.
