As for the grey knight was there a name for this guy?

Spoiler:

I think there may have been but I can't remember.

Or as a guess it could just be any of the other grand masters like Vardan Kai. Just not Aurikon.

Yelly McYellerton, of the House of the Long Necks?

I just found where I thought I heard his name, grand master covan. Obviously not his actual name, probably.

Mordrak is also the GM of the second company/brotherhood, right? There is a rather prominent Roman numeral 2 on that model's hammer.

Man Cypher looks badass and the pose on the GK is cool.

I need to see more angles of blue man, its the legs for me, the thighs look a bit too skinny and separated a bit too much for that armour. I know he hasn't been walking much for the past 9000 years but he looks like he's certainly skipped leg day.

Even though I am not too interested in the blue man, I can't wait to see what a Primarch thinks of the Imperium now, gotta grab some popcorn, this gun be good!

Edit: Wait, I thought Cypher was a bad guy, or is it because only the Dark Angels know about the fallen? Are those DA behind Cypher fallen also or just rocking the pre-heresy colours?

I think that may just be an Inquisition "I"? But I do hope it is Mordrak personally.

"Mcragge tech support. How can we help you? Your emperor isn't working right? Have you tried unplugging and plugging him back in? no? I'll wait. It worked on our primarch. "

Audio of psi-comms between High Lords of Terra and Ultramar

Well Rowboat will make a good Emperor conversion, calling it now.

The Fallen army intrigues me. Though not sure why they aint telling guilliman that Lion is sleeping in the rock. Why wouldnt they want more demigods to fight with the imperium

Nobody knows that The Lion is in the Rock.

The Watchers in the Dark are the only ones who are aware of him.

Hmm, yeah, looking closer I think o see the little horizontal lines coming out of it that would make the inquisition symbol. Oh well...

It was never confirmed he was a bad guy. He was always this mysterious agent, working solo, with his own plan. This is one of the most intriguing things about him:

The final distinguishing feature of Cypher is his sword. It is a mysterious weapon that he has never been seen to draw on the battlefield, though rumours surround it: it is an artifacts of the Dark Angels; it is the Lion Sword; it is broken; Cypher seeks to reforge it and present it to the Emperor of Mankind, obtaining absolution and forgiveness.

Damn, I can't wait to know more, how the heck and why the Fallen are gonna help save the Imperium! This is gonna be so good!

Oh son that sounds coooooool. I wanna read Cypher stuff now.

Cypher was one of the Lutherites who rebelled against the Imperium (not exactly joining with Chaos). He was also possessed by the demon entity that was trapped in Caliban.

Granted, over the subsequent 10,000 years, a lot of the mans beliefs could have changed.

Also, from the actual spoiled WD image...

"...Guilliman is clearly not too pleased to see the sword that he's [Cypher] carrying."

The sword will clearly play into the new book's story.

My money is that it's the Anathame. The weapon that started the Heresy, but also the weapon responsible for restoring Vulkan to his rightful self after Curze's ministrations.

Cypher wants to use it on the Emperor. That's what I'm betting.

Calling it now. It is an Anathame and he wants to kill the Emperor with it so he can be reborn (because Perpetual).

You might have answered your own question!

Maybe The Fallen are now the Good Dark Angels, and the Dark Angels will be the New Fallen, when El'Jonson wakes up and...er...switches sides?

Wasn't there a rumor about a Traitor becoming Loyal, and a Loyalist going Traitor?

(Or maybe like Kan said, they just don't know!)

Great minds!

Don't let PETA see those models... They look like they have been dragged through a cat box, chewed on by Spots, and left over night in a hamster cage, where they had a long night of abuse.

Meh models, to follow up those really character filled Eldar, and Imperium sets and real underachievers.

The Anathame is always described as more of a knife or dagger. It's definitely not a sword. The most commonly held theory is that it's the Lion Sword... a Dark Angel blade wielded by Lionel Johnson... err, Lion El'Johnson.

Wait, isn't that the Emperor's sword? The burning-fiery one? I wanted to claim that! ARE YOU SAYING I NOW HAVE TO FIGHT PAPA SMURF FOR THE EMPEROR'S BLADE AFTER I SPEND 37'000 YEARS PREPAREING FOR IT!

No, the Athame's that Erebus broke off from it where the daggers. The Anathame was a sword.

A knife or a dagger for a Primarch may very well be a sword for a Marine.

I always thought if we could get cinematic's of 40k, my favourite cliff hanger would be inside the Golden Throne room, Custodes turn in surprise at a sudden arrival. The camera pans to the door and all you see next is a black clad boot and then the tip of a blade touches the floor.

Just so we're clear:
It's not a "theory". It's one of those things where we got switched from "in-universe narrative" to "omniscient narrative".

if that happens... I have a load of models to throw in the bin.
Not playing heretics. Nu-uh good sir, not a chance in hell.

Inb4 DA are traitors (which is NOT true as confirmed by newer fiction).

Ha, a Primarch returns to the head of the Imperium and it's still only the gathering of the storm.

If this is the equivalent to the shoreline waters receding, just what is about to wash over the galaxy?.....

All of the Tyranids. Ever. All of them.

I think Girlyman got his Flame Sword from the Magos in part 1. He was carrying a case with him and Chaos was after him for it. So I think the Mech guy presented it to stasis Primarch and woke him up, Papa smurf sees the lion sword on Cypher and knows hes an agent of the Lion, they go to Terra, where the Dark Angels are, wake up the Lion (because reasons) and fight Chaos were we start 8th

And then Dorn arrives and tells them they're doing it all wrong!

Heh. Dorn's a dick.
