This is Steve the Warboss. He's previously predicted SOB, CSM, Warhammer 9th, CA and C:CSM all for May.

Maybe Chaos Marines will get some love by 2030?

Seriously, the only model line that's in worse shape than ours is freaking Sisters of Battle! But sure, let's give those loyalist dogs a big release they don't need, while odds are we'll get a one week 'release' that gives us a gakking clam pack and continues to leave us completely in the dirt...

Prediction time: Devastators will get access to Grav Cannons with the new sprue.

At least they are re-doing Space Marines now and not another couple months from now. This means that CSM should be that much closer to getting a book in the pipeline.

Nevermind.

Anyways hoping for a new devestator box with asscan and heavy flamer!

If they do re-do the dev box, I’m hoping for a grav cannon. If they make a PA model for it we’ll be able to take them in tac squads, dev squads, etc.

Not that I wouldn’t mind PA AsCs or more HFs (and widespread access to them)

Yay! Glad I held out on buying Assault Squads for my new Blood Angels army. Gonna have a whole army of all the freshest newest sculpts.

Or the old minis are just being reboxed with 32mm bases!

I do hope we get new Assault and Devastator boxes, as they, the TFC and the Honour Guard are the only SM minis that aren't so great these days or in plastic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it are just a rebox.

Now with a price increase!

Those 32mm bases aren't free

Why would we need a new Dev Squad kit?

They could be adding a grav weapon to the squad.

They are secretly trying to get rid of all the available bolt guns with handles not attached to hands /tinfoil hat

The old weapon sprue is fine, but the old body sprue (shared with the command squad) was getting old. May as well bring it into line with the new style bodies (which assemble differently than the old ones as far as the pegs and sockets in the torso) and throw in a couple new options. Grav cannon makes sense and would be nice.

There is still one Friday left in May for unannounced releases. GW could surprise us all and say in the next White Dwarf that May 29 will be a megarelease date with SOB (along with 8 plastic kits!), CSM, CA, C:SM, and WH9th.

All with 5 $200 limited editions

Plastic Warlord Titan too! Happy times.

Nahhh... 7e C:SM -- All tactical space marines may upgrade to a grav gun for 5 points per model. New Grav Gun sprue: 3 grav guns for $15.

Yeah, people were so sure that Long Fangs would get a Hellfrost cannon of some kind also.
Do not pass out while holding your breath.

And with that leaked orbital strike, I see the last of the CWE "well all you guys will get D-weapons too!" commentary disappearing.

How long until GW just goes with a membership fee model like Microsoft and Adobe did?

For just $10/mo you can get access to all our rules!

I know, tell me about it. That would be a no brainer. Then they could update it as often as they like!

I think the better model would be your choice of BRB + 2 Books, BRB + 4 Books, or Everything, with price ranges from $5 / mo to $20 / mo.

I think that the arms race has put me off to all the new shine. I'll stick with what I've got. Kinda bummed with all this out dating of new for newer.

Assault squads and devastator squads you say...

So, basically, they could just sell a kit with 3 sprues: 5 Bodies, Assault gear, Devastator gear (of course, priced higher than the assault- or the devastator box before) and if you want to use the other bits you can just buy tac squads.

Some WD pics are starting to come through. Next week's hint:

"Hit Hard, Hit Fast"

Raven Guard/Assault Marine box set?

funny that you say that, I was just reading rumours on a RavenGuard/Tau campaign box of some sort.

I would love a spacemarine-tau box to boost my armies.

Devs hit hard and Assaults hit fast so that could be real possibility.

Did someone say Raven Guard?

In all honesty Raven Guard do need some loving. Even if it's just better chapter tactics rules.

Here is FW's World Eater equivalent:

Spoiler:

If GW made World Eater Terminators, even 30k ones (so no Khorne), they'd be made entirely out of skulls. On those skulls would be chains that end in more skulls which are attached to axes (Bloodblood Wrathrage Skullaxes of Worldeat). I am horrified to even contemplate how GW would handle the Primarchs.

I'm sorry, but put away the FW Rose Colored glasses. Those Khorne termies look absolutely ridiculous. I can help but think they are making airplane noises and running around in circles like a hyper-active 4 year old....

LMAO!!! What has been seen can never be unseen!!

It will be interesting to see what happens to marines, chapter tactics, and their decurion style formations. Hopefully they make tacs worth taking.....

I doubt it but that would really be the only thing making me seriously want to consider playing SM again. If they got a book were a mech SM + tank army truly works, I'll insta-buy the codex. I have no actual idea why everyone keeps telling themselves that the 6th SM codex is such a great dex with multiple builds and good internal balance, which is a horrible joke of a statement that borders on the edge of denial, unless you're spamming gravbikes, invisicents and Smash fether.
To me, the core part of a true Astartes army should be tactical marines with fast/elite units to support them, not 2 minimal squads of rookie scout Joe number 1,2,3 and 4, led by Sergeant rookie scout Joe number 5, supported by a disturbing amount of over sized space marine bikes, doing battle as if they were trying to replicate the Battle of the Little Bighorn with a twist of ceramite steeds, led by a testerone filled book keeper that hangs around grimdark teletubbies, armed with gravity cannons.
