Leagues of Votann?

I’d hope for kroot but we’d probably have solid rumors about them by now

Squats only make sense if the cover art reveals a new unit. There's more danger of that for a new army that doesn't have a lot of unit choice yet. So that might be it.

I'd rather if it was something that isn't as sure a bet as a new codex for an army that already had one in the last edition. Maybe Imperial Agents, now that there is a larger number of non-affiliated single units thanks to Kill Team that may need a printed home.

Otherwise, yeah, would be nice to get Emprah's Kiddies out of the way. It's a little early for that based on the intervals between the other Daemon Primarchs, but I just want GW to get it over with already.

Or it's just more months away than gw wants to reveal.

Gw reqularly hides name of tomes. If lucky we get imperium/chaos/xenos. Or not that.


Doesn't have to be anything special. Could just be blood angels with recycled art for cover but gw doesn't want to reveal factions that far so put boilerplate hidden tome art.

Emperor's Children has a weird caveat to consider as well, in that it requires their removal from the main CSM book. We'll have warning signs that it's coming when that book drops.

Whatever the army is, it's possibly just not locked-in yet. I don't think the "only reveal a cover if it has a new unit" bit matters these days. AdMech still don't have the techpriest from their cover.

Bets on the Redacted one?

I'm guessing/hoping Emperor's Children.

The biggest indicator will be when Codex: CSM drops. Here's hoping, because the Emperor's Children really deserve it at this point.

Probably some variation of Loyalist Marines.

Imperial Agents supplement.

Did just have a recent rumour engine that was definitely Votann, given the need for new units it would be nice if that was the redacted.. but somehow I doubt it..

Yeah. If it isn’t EC I’d go with GK and this being a bit of cheeky roleplay by the comms team.

It could be GW giving themselves a little leeway on releases. Unlikely, one would hope but maybe wise considering their apparent supply issues.

It should be Chaos as the release order will be:
Xenos
Imperium
Imperium
Xenos
Imperium
Xenos
Imperium
Xenos
Chaos
Xenos
Imperium
Redacted

Otherwise at this rate the end of the releases is going to be:
Chaos
Chaos
Space Marines 2.0
Chaos

Chaos Squats.

What makes you think it's different to any other far away redacted cover art? It's what gw use in roadmaps on too far away books.

Think people are overreading.

Codex Redacted will cover a new Xenos faction the Redacted, an alien race so vile and destructive they were erased from Imperial Records.

Codex Redacted - Covering the 2nd and 11th legions!

Huh. I really did not expect 'Winter 2023' to be Thanksgiving weekend.

I guess it tracks, since several radio stations have switched over to Xmas musak already.

The most obvious answer, really

Just having some fun with speculation really.

God forbid people have a little fun speculating.

The limited edition Necron codex has something new on the cover right? Otherwise it's shaping up as 2 (nice) resculpts, 2 models everyone already has from 9th, overlord with a new hat and the CP box full of models everyone already has from 9th.

I'd buy more GW dice if they were smaller!! Big dice are fine but in a game that can easily have you rolling 20-30 dice I want to have dice I can hold in my hand

Oh the dice are great. Best part was when they reduced the amount of dice by 25% but kept the price the same. Bargain!

Hrud.

Wow, that's a callback to a very long time ago...

Really disappointed we’re getting a new Orikan but no Trazyn. That’s like Statler without Waldorf.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the Pan Fo. I've dropped references to them a few times over the past few months but got little if any acknowledgement of them.

They will be reviled.

Trazyn could kind of be dropped in anywhere and work fluffwise.
