Looks like the Aquila is siiting on 2 eggs.

That actually looks like a skull face as well as the imperial motif. Assassins perhaps?

Here's the Assassins' insignia:

That's just of the big four, Kan. There are other Temples.

How does an imperial aquila changing into a skull not perfectly fit for Chaos Space Marines, which started as Imperial troops (the aquila) before falling to Chaos (the skull)?

Because the skull is a frequently used Imperial Symbol (moreso than the Aquila)?

Chaos is an eight pointed star, not a skull?

Can anyone make out the writing at the top?

I think you missed the point of that photo being posted.

The Officio Assassinorum's icon is a skull being bisected by a dagger with a tilted crux behind it.
Also, there's not that many more "Major" Temples. The two classified ones are Vanus and Venenum.

Tell Khorne he's no longer allowed to use skulls then.

So, hear me out...

Based on the vague rumours of a Necromunda re-boot this could easily be a new boxed game of that. However, different from the old game.

-Base it around a generic multi-part plastic gang kits (appeals to everyone and old school Necro players) vs. Adeptus Arbites (possibly the logo in that teaser)
-Stuff it with SWA terrain so that everyone can buy in - even those who missed Shadow War: Armageddon...heal some of that community damage
-Keeping it with generic gangers and arbites GW doesn't need to support it with a half dozen gangs or expansions, it can be just the basic game.
-Add in a bit more crunch than SWA.
-Throw in rules for gangers and arbites for use in your Imperium faction 40K armies.
-Gangers can also be used as Chaos Cultists etc.
-You get new players, terrain junkies, 40K nuts, old grognards and the Necromunda devotees all in one box. Price it like SWA...sell 50K units.
-New necromunda generates more interest for the PC reboot that's being done by the guys who did the Mordheim game.

It does seem pretty damn smart if they do this.

It does look like some manhole cover afterall....

I did. He got angry.

Come on. Imperium: aquilla. Chaos: Chaos star. Everyone uses skulls. Going by your argument, you could have a skull turn into a skull and... what? Is that Imperials turning Chaos? Heretics repenting and going back to serve the Emperor?

It also looks like the "Omnissiah's Mark" that is on the back of the Imperial Knight and several other Imperial vehicles.

By this I mean the shape of the thing backing the icon, not the actual icon itself.

Yes. I know.

It's also the label of the video.

Did anyone hear the video? Sounds like traffic and trains... Gave me a bladerunner vibe (aka Necromunda)....

I don't know what their symbols are, but could it be Harkoni Warhawks?

With the new Necromunda info coming, could that be some kind of Arbites symbol or badge with a serial number up top?

That would be a HUGE redesign of the Arbites iconography.

It sounds more like the interior of a ship, if I'm going to be honest.

Some of the noise even sounds like the powerlifter from Aliens.

We honestly haven't really seen Harakoni stuff in art beyond that one bit in the old Doctrines book.

I know their main symbol, I was more talking like a personal badge for individual Arbites. That's why I brought up the serial numbers.

Galactic Map Coordinates...

Are both eagle eyes blind?

I thought about that!

Have you checked them to see if they match? I thought it would be a bit weird for the vidlink to be a specific set of coordinates though.

Looks like.

Interesting.

Imperium Secundus take 2?

With the traffic and clunk, clunk, clunk of a train in the background, sparks like a train would give off, the vents in the "symbol" like it's a manhole cover would have, my money is on the Necromunda that was first announced January 2017, and recently leaked WD blurb about it coming out in the mext few months. Those numbers and letters are a cryptic clue and not just Arbitrary (see what I did there?)!

So, what is a Palatine Aquila?

The Imperial Aquila, known in ancient times as the Palatine Aquila, is a two-headed eagle sigil which represents the entirety of the Imperium of Man and was chosen by the Emperor of Mankind at the start of the Great Crusade in circa 800.M30. The Aquila replaced the earlier symbol of a lightning bolt that had been used to represent the Imperial forces during the Unification Wars on Terra at the end of the Age of Strife

Theres no coordinate system on the new galactic map they published for new 40k. Is there another current map?
