At the moment there is a new article link on the front page of the warcom site, but the link is dead. It has this image:

primaris lieutenant news (and some other stuff...)

New models hinted at in the bottom right of the Video. Sort of. New Tank, Dreadnought and Snipers

Article is up: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/07/02/breaking-news-another-primaris-lieutenantgw-homepage-post-1/

Also, this is apparently real: https://twitter.com/PrimarisLt

EDIT: cropped a pic from the vid. Nice pose. Funny to see GW taking the piss out of their own Lieutenant Addiction.

From the twitter account:

Almost did a wound on Abaddon. Didn’t manage it. He’s much better at fighting than me.

Extract of suspected new models:

They are deliberately blurred out.

Also..

Did you know there could be as many as 10,000 Primaris Lieutenants in the galaxy?

A looooong way to go before all those models are out - Jes Goodwin better get cracking!

I think these might be new First Company Primaris - perhaps it's just me, but that looks like a white company roundel on the tank to me, and white shoulder pads on the lieutenant.

More hints:

This looks 100% like Reiver Lt, has the mask, single pad, and knife.

I bet on him having zero access to any actual melee weapons and some random, garbage, uninspired special rule with so little impact no one will remember it

Haha they’re not even actually there, they’re a photo of the models blurred and overlaid the video.

The scout dreadnought variant looks like it might be cool, if only because it seems closer to a normal dreadnought in design and proportion.

Does that look like a stripped back (bigger capacity?) repulsor?

With Sponsons and what looks to be a razorback turret?

I think it looks like a smaller vehicle overall, probably the primaris equivalent of a rhino to the Repulsor's Land Raider.

Scouty dreadnought seems...I dunno, like the design space for dreadnoughts has been cartoonishly oversaturated for multiple editions now. We've literally got dozens of different dreadnought models. Boy oh boy I wonder what variation on standard marine-class weaponry and draednought statlines this one could have!?!?!?!

Then it looks like full kit boxes for Bolter Wielding Power Armor Squad #128283821812y9694619827361089261 and Primaris Scout Sniper Replacement Guys.

Dunno if it has bigger capacity, but it certainly looks like Razorback-like turret, so maybe.

I like addition to Redemptor arsenal, is that a multimelta?

The three guys on the right are probably lascannon snipers, high time they finally arrived in regular box...

They're chunky sponsons, I'd going out on a limb and saying something akin to hurricane bolters.

That is for sure a more specific transport with less weapons....which Primaris really needs.

I'm wondering if these are the Shadowspear Marines getting a full separate release along with a new Dreadnought and fast transport.

GW is really messing with us.

I also think that it is not dreadnought but rather a battlesuit. Kinda sure that it has open cockpit atleast.

it would make sense

I like the lighthearted nature but I'm not going to be impressed by another marine release unless they've scaled up the old marines.

Redemptor seems to have a twin-autocannon.
Reiver Lt was already in Shadowspear, so this is just another one with slightly different weapons?

Not gonna lie, a cheap(ish) transport that can fit a full Hellblaster squad & lieutenant would get me to buy more Primaris.

My hopes now all rest that the insulted and enraged design studio rep now heads back and destroys all the plans for future space marines and instead devotes the design studio to pure xenos for a few years

Sounds better than it actually is .How many Kommandos in Primaris Lieutenant getup could you possibly need?

No the lieutenant in shadowspear didn't had a combat knife...

This looks to me to be the complete Vanguard line. So new infils on left, a new character, new las snipers, a lighter transport and a lighter dread/suit (who hopefully can deepstrike).

Yeah, so... slightly different weapon.
