Is it just me, or since Cadia fell, has GW been focusing a lot on Armeggedon?

Will Armeggedon become the new posterboys of the IG?

Will we get plastic Steel Legion(by the Emperor, PLEASE)?

Will they continue the plastic Cadians?

Because it's the first Warzone mentioned, there's six that's going to be mentioned overall.

Also Gotta scramble a few Armeggedons to show Chaos doing things

Armageddon also received a campaign codex a long time ago, before the "Eye of Terror" Cadia campaign actually, so it's only logical they'd revisit that one.

Armeggedon has always been the number two war zone for the IG so that is not surprising.

Unlikely however they could do something similiar with what they did with the various space marines and have a central faction of IG with small subfactions for various other regiments ala space marines and the blood angels/space wolves/dark angels.

Seconded.

Yes, see above.

I doubt it very much.

Cadia was a fortress world, Armageddon is a hive world IIRC

If it means plastic steel legion to go with my already 100+ metal ones Im happy with that! But I can see a mixed chaos, ork, and imperial warzone really being interesting in terms of story and dynamics, with Orks throwing wrenches in both sides plans at all times "hey! we was 'ere first, dis loot is ours!"

I'm still waiting for Creed to lead a resistance movement on Caida.

he has to escape that pokeball first

I believe there are going to be a bunch of hot spot conflicts around the galaxy, to provide us a stage for battles if we so wish.

Well, unfortunately, Cadia Prime is the 40k equivalent of Alderaan at this point
A whole heap of space rocks whizzing around, doing nothing helpful...

But Cadia as a system?

Its ruined remains still lie at the heart of the Cadian Sector, a talismanic prize that the Imperium would dearly love to reclaim.

Ring the bell. Ding ding.

Round 2.

Didn't see that, so is it now Holy Cadia?

IIRC there was an image posted on dakka of armageddon with something about a dameonic incursion, and a hint that khorne wasn't finished with it.

Cant wait!

I'd like to see something equal in scale to what we saw in 3rd edition. The Armageddon conflict was MASSIVE and went on for months. It introduced tons of new models, new rules, new art/lore & really brought the orks center stage. I'm really hoping we don't see a repeat of what we saw on Cadia in the Gathering Storms. It felt like the events that took place on Cadia were over before the playerbase could really even interact with what was going on. What should have been Cadian's finest moment, barely received mention in the books. Each & every time Cadians did something it was immediately one upped by space marines. The loss of Kell/Creed was largely overshadowed by the emotions of demi-gods.

I'm really hoping the 4th war of Armageddon is an ongoing conflict where the war never really ends between Chaos/Orks/IoM.

Would I like to see Plastic Steel Legion? Absolutely. Is GW done producing Cadians? Unlikely. Although there is likely enough of them in circulation that even if they did stop producing them today, between what they have left over/Ebay & FLGS we would probably never run into a shortage of them.

I think it's becoming clearer that the various war zones mentioned by GW will be stages on which to set your own play. Similar in a way to the mortal realms in AOS. I think it will help the 'Narrative' section of 8th, having defined war zones which can be explored and campaigns launched.

As for Armageddon being the new IG 'Poster boy', I don't think so, although, what I wouldn't give for a bunch of new plastic guard regiments.

I don't know about that, but Armageddon is one of the Warzones mentioned...

Warhammer 40,000 wrote:The smog-choked industrial world of Armageddon has been the site of several cataclysmic conflicts, and the horrific meat grinder that is the Third War for Armageddon has raged on for decades. Yet the planet's Astra Militarum defenders and its hordes of greenskin assailants are both utterly unprepared for the escalation to come.

I think it is worth mentioning that all of the warzones(Baal, Cadia, Armageddon, Damocles, and even Ultramar) had Cadian Shock Regiments active.
Damocles and Armageddon both, as well, have neighboring worlds that have been settled by Cadian regiments in the past.

We already know what's going on. There's a Khorne Daemon Incursion known as the Blood Crusade starting with Armageddon.
