Subject: Re:The Gathering Storm Part III: Rise of the Primarch
OK here is what they said about the story in the live stream. Mild spoilers ahead.
Spoiler:
After the end of the first book when the imperium and Eldar, everyone heads back to Macragge for reasons. When they get there the find it under full blown assault by the black legion. Apparently the destruction of the pylons at Cabin has let chaos strike pretty much anywhere they like.
Some grey Knights tip up too, including the new guy.
Anyway the chaos invasion gets as far as the very chamber in which roboute is sleeping. He wakes up somehow, turns the tide on chaos and in no time at all wins the war for Macragge.
After this they need to go to Terra for reasons, but warp travel is a bit tricky. They end having to go through the maelstrom for reasons. They meet Cypher who says he will help them through the maelstrom if they take him to Terra.
there is apparently a lot of stuff about Rob dealing with the changes to the imperium in his absence. Celestial freaks him out a bit because she reminds him of Dad. He apparently also knows Cawl from way back.

I guess Robert will work well with True Scale Marines
my baseless theory for 8th is custodes for imperium, bobmarines for imperium secondus
seeing that Stormcast are already TrueScale Marines, it is not unlikely that the new 8th Edition Marines will be larger (and more Stormcast like) while the rest will be used for Marine VS Marine games in 30k.
a win win situation for GW if those games use different scale

I agree the sculpt is weak, and seeing the back doesn't really help. I also LOATHE scale creep. Age of sigmar here we come. But in the end, if it produces a decent sort of ruleset that makes it possible to pick up a book, make an army, and play a game without spending hours on the internet and half a dozen digital expansions to figure out how to get 2++ rerollable I might forgive them.

Are the fallen going to be revealed as loyalists confirming rumours about the true events of the heresy. Are the fallen going to be welcomed back into the fold, unlikely. Are the Dark angels going to panic, launch an all out assault on Cypher, and in doing so get on the wrong side of Rowboat and start another civil war. Or are the DA just going to flat out turn rouge??? Any way it goes I see big changes for my favourite chapter and I am a little worried.
I think they're going to turn rouge. After all, that would be a much better colour for them, what with the history of how the name and that of their primarch came to be.
Ahh the grammar police are out, I'm typing on a phone (autocorrect) and I'm not that bothered.
Not meant to insult you, I just found it funny, since DA have often been called gay and all.
Oh I'm not offended... Just, disappointed. Btw I know the whole Lionel Johnson and the Dark Angel poem, its worth a read and did inspire the chapter. I didn't read it as a poem about homosexuality though (as rumoured) I know Lionel was gay.

What about Scouts?
Agreed on the helmeted head being good. The fact the helmet looks pretty awesome helps too. I appear to be one of the only people that like the RG model. I really hope he will be usable for all SM factions.

That "thier" killed me. My eyes are still sore as all hell. Still, tbh, Guilliman doesn't really fit the AoS aesthethics, rather he fits more the CSM aesthetics.
Yet so many players seem to think it's a good model. It's just another swing and a miss IMO, as if they think their own game is nothing but something you find in Toys R Us

I wonder what Asmodai will make of Roboute seemingly working with Cypher, after being rejuvenated by heretic xenos witch no less...? Clearly a daemonic and/or xenos plot!
Would be quite a twist if good ole Roboute wakes up strapped to a slab in the Rock, with Asmodai about to get medieval on his a**. :-D
As an aside, you'd think Asmodai and Greyfax might get along splendidly.

I'm glad they gave him a helmet, and a very nice one at that. The lack of helmets is one of the things that bothers me the most about FW Primarchs (next to their ludicrous bases).
How does this, in any way, confirm we won't be getting new Sisters any time soon?
Because we're on to Gathering Storm Part III and still not a peep from them, even though Celestine came in with Part I and the Sisters participated in the battle. Maybe I'm just too pessimistic, but it makes me worry they'll just get left in the dust.

Well the Eldar release was just completely overshadowed by news of the next books contents and models.. so be happy that didn't happen to your sisters?

I'm eager for plastic sisters too but they may be saving them for the new edition.
Not a big fan of girlyman anyway and this model doesn't change much for me. Just hoping they get around to doing a Rogal Dorn model in time. Not much to look forward to code the next few weeks now we've seen the primarch revealed a full month early. I'd guess New edition in June so there are still two months of releases log which one will mostly be duardin I think

So far no force has got any new models outside the special characters in the triumvirate sets. So I wouldn't get too worried just yet.

However given how Dorn was blackmailed into breaking up his legion and his distrust of Curly Sue's actual motivations for doing it.
I always thought when he took sigmusund aside to have a word with him to stop the 1st company from kicking the smurfs cowardly asses. He told them to stay fleet bound build up towards legion size and Kurb Stomp the smurfs and curly sue when they make there grab for power and this was the secret/instruction the New high Marshal gets.

Looks like ol' Guilly may have come back a bit more confused (in more ways than one ) then we originally thought . In all seriousness, I'm guessing it has to do with her psychic aura that is reminiscent of the Emperor's own crazy golden visage.

Hoping for some real bomb drops with how the Imperium is going to handle a Primarch returning and in turn how he sees the Imperium. Im sorry, the Black Templars have how many marines?! More importantly those Fallen though, I mean, the Grey Knights are right next to them. Aren't the DA gonna their pants?
To me the DA have always seemed to care more for their own preservation than their service to humanity and the Emperor, almost bordering on heresy. They would kill any loyalist to keep their dirty secret safe. I would be pretty pissed if my chapter turned traitor but this is the most secretive chapter out the lot (well....nearly most). Either a shocking revelation about the Lion or the DA going into full panic mode with all those Fallen being around Roboute and doing something very silly would be very grim dark indeed.

Primarch looks like the old plastic demon prince template with some new texturing and ultramarines additions to me. Not too difficult to do in the CAD world.

Subject: Re:The Gathering Storm Part III: Rise of the Primarch
The DA are in that awkward position where all the things they have done to continue the cover up are probably now worse than the original misdeed. Maybe they will finally come clean and receive absolution from the Imperial authorities? Considering the desperate times and if they have a Primarch and the GK vouching for them, it could happen.
