1. the bolt pistol may belong to Cypher
2. three books for gathering storms series
3. each book will have a trio of characters
4. last book is called the rise of legend/Primarch?, which obviously include a Primarch
5. last trio of characters will be: Grandpa Smurf, Cypher and a Grey Knight Master (my source saw photos of both Cypher and Knight Master, but didn't see Gradpa Smurf yet)
6. then 8th edition
7. Abaddon is likely to be killed during the last book, GW staffs are jokingly saying killed by the bolt pistol
8. dwarf release and gryph hound release should still be there, but the focus is to finish off gathering storm series and launch 8th edition

I can see 3 characters in that pic, Cypher, Ghouliman and a GK.

So that GK could be the rumour pic GW put out.

So the SM Triumvirate will be these 3?


Cypher confirmed to get a model, text clearly says: You can see more of Cyphers new "model", looks to be the word model at least.

Hmm, only reason I'd get this kit would be to get the Ghouls sword.

Oh cock, Cypher isn't doing guns akimbo.

I wonder which primarch model will cost more: GW's plastic or FW's resin?

FW's looks better, in my opinion.

I am more interested in Cypher I would laugh if he is actually loyalist this whole time.

Cypher in a SM Triumvirate box.

Sigh.

That Chaos special character...in an overpriced SM Triumvirate box with Captain Smurfpants.

Siiiiiiigh.

See that crate between Robert and the Terminators (band name?)....is that new scenery?

Considering he is a box with RG and a grey knight grand master I don't think he is a follower of chaos.

Well I will be selling cypher model when I get the models. Never a fan of a traitor.

Yay, papa smurf has returned.

Since I wanted an emperor model for my custodes he will be a nice start.
Saves buying the kabuki miniatures one.
Just some cutting and GS work and he's good to go.

it's happening!!!! I wrote a post about how GE should print money by doing this a few years ago (as have many people).
Shame his model is Derpy :(

That Cypher and Draigo though!!!

I'll take it off your hands! Hess the only thing I want from it

Or he's using them as an ends to a means. He's never really been a follower of Chaos...but he's not an Imperial either.

And the point is his rules first appeared in the 2nd. ed. Chaos Codex. Then in the 3rd. ed Chaos codex. Then the dataslate where his faction is....wait for it....Chaos Space Marines.

Pistol belongs to Cypher



GK Character from the SM Triumvirate

Tbf Cypher has never been stated as a follower of chaos and more of a lone agent type.

And for a while now he's been able to be taken in any CSM or non Dark Angel Imperial Army as the same faction.


Also I quite like that he's in MKIII armour. It both looks great and will be good for more plastic 30k character conversions.
It's such a shame he'd be in the same boxset as that fugly Guilliman model.

Well to be fair, Cypher was never really chaos, was he? He was a Fallen, but I don't recall anything in his fluff saying that he was in league with the ruinous powers, just that he was a wanted man by the Dark Angels.

Higher res image

Somewhat disappointed with this one after, what I thought, were two incredible Triumvirate boxes!! New Cypher looks cool, but not fussed by Rowboat at all, and the Grey Knight is a bit too generic!!

Seeing as this says it is wrapping up the Gathering Storm, are we to assume that there will be no fabled Chaos Triumvirate release now? :/

If it's any indicative, Guilliman will most likely be boxed with Cypher and Random-grey-knight for 65 euros. So it depends on your tastes regarding at least one of the other two. Still cheaper overall I'd say.

Is it possible he has been working to ressurect the Emperor if the fluff hints are anything to go by.

Rippy, any chance of putting that in a spoiler please bud?
On mobile devices it blows up the thread lol.

I will actually take you up on that if it is a 3 pack. I plan on preordering the kit for the grey knight and guilleman anyways.

Wait Abadon dying? Are they really that sick of the meming? No, bad call in my opinion.

I'll just leave this here..

Maybe it's because I have no interest in the models or rules presented, but Im really curious about what the fluff reasoning will be for Guiliman's return. I know we've been building up this whole "he's healing in stasis" deus ex for as long as the fluff has existed, but is it going to be as simple as like "hey your primarch hot-pocket is done cookin', let em' out" or will there be something more to it?

Smart approach would be something questionable to keep this going theme of creating inter-factional tensions.

AHHHH!!!!!!!

Our true Spiritual Liege returns. Glorious!

And Cypher looks great, as does possibly-Draigo?

Done, sorry mate

I cannot wait to see what Roboute thinks of the galaxy
Or what Marneus uses as a weapon now.
That fist grew...

So if cypher is actually good does that mean the lion was really traitor?

It's faeit as always take it with a giant mountain of salt and perhaps a truck of salt on top of it. I do find it kinda strange abbadon does not have a new model yet.

Add on
40k new edition's content will be much reduced, but still bit longer than AoS rules, around 30 pages, likely release date will be summer. after Book III of the gathering storm.

No worries bud and cheers


I don't think that is draigo though.
For a start he's lost his signature weapons, armour is completely different and his aged a lot lol.
I'd assume it's just a grandmaster.

If it's a £50 set I'd guess rowboat will be going for £35- £40 on eBay.
So may just buy the set for him and sell the rest off.
