I can hear the faint clicks of hundreds of F5 keys

edit: yeah, pic is working

So I reread the Primaris FAQ this morning, and it stated this:

"I have an <insert favourite Chapter> army. Can I field Primaris Space Marines?

Any of the galaxy’s many hundreds of Codex Chapters can use Primaris Space Marines, along with many of the less Codex-compliant ones like Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves."

If the Blood Angels are on the other side of that Warp Rift from Terra/Mars, how are they going to get Primaris reinforcements?

What are people basing this speculation on? Has there been an army building article that referenced the keywords in this way?

Aren't the keywords in Age of Sigmar mostly for knowing which effects apply to which models? You need to know a model is Stormcast Eternal so it can be healed by a Relictor, etc.

We have seen the FOC for 3 of the charts. They all have the following statement on them: Restriction: All units must be from the same faction. We have also seen some of the various dataslates. And their Faction Keywords and Keywords.

So, the question comes in does all faction keywords have to match or does only one faction keyword in the batch have to match.

For those everyone has to have imperium, chaos, etc. All units need to have a common keyword.

Later we will see ones that require thousand sons. So no other chaos without that keyword.

Agreed. I reckon the FoC's in the rulebook will be generic and only provide CP's, and only need the most loose of keyword to use (i.e. "Imperium"). This is to baseline everyone and allow any model/army in the game to continue to be used at the minimum battleforged level.

But in future codex (and maybe in the initial 5 books) there'll be much more restrictive ones, but with additional benefits. Example being a FoC restricted to "Blood Angel" only keyword, with maybe double the CP's and a "Space Vampire" Special rule. So you're free to use the original FoC's with maximum flexibility, or restrict yourself down to a more precise keyword, but gain some advantages in doing so.

I just hope they don't start giving away dozens of free Rhino's again....

Going to sleep in 6 minutes, article or not!

The sensible answer is there's nothing stopping you from flying over the cicatrix maladictum, given that space is 3D.

There'll be some sillier answer that doesn't take that into account though, don't worry.

Maybe they gave themselves a breather after the big reveal yesterday?

Falling asleep, good night peeps (+_+)

I'm sure they would have mentioned it, if they were taking a day off.

Yeah, this idea of a gulf across the galaxy that cuts the imperium in two annoys me for precisely that reason. It's easy to explain away with sci fi bs though.

So I woke up this morning and my blog traffic looked like this:

Oh. GW released taller Space Marines, lol.

At the GW store like anybody else.

Man i wish they would give us a heads up if they aren't doing an article, hard to focus at work with the constant page refreshing.
Although it really is telling that we have all become so used to the daily updates of spoilers that we are waiting with baited breath. They really do have us on their hook, not to long ago they were 0 spoilers and we had to scour the web for any hint, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

I think I broke my F5 key...

So according to the OP (don't know when it was posted), the plague marines will be supersized pretty much negating the size aspect of the numarines instantly. With how everything (from supernatural soldiers to orks and quasi-normal humans) got a bump up in size to 35mm+ superscale in AOS, I'm not surprised.

The universe is not 2 dimensional. you can in fact fly/travel in any direction you choose.

With the Death Guard leak, this might be delayed while they put together an article for Nurgle's sons. Keep up with that rumor mill.

One assumes it's dimensions are equally large in all 3 dimensions and therefore just as hard to go over or under as it is to go around.

Additionally, Warpspace being a made up medium of travel offers the explanation that any warp travel that would result in you moving from one side of the rift to the other is subject to extreme warp instabilities, regardless of how the jump is plotted. This offers a reasonable fluff explanation for it.

Works for me Rippy.

Those larger marines and Death Guard look fantastic (to a newbie to 40k and recent Sigmar player). I always thought the old marines looked goofy; these ones remind me of the Stormcast Eternals, which is a good thing.

From the FAQ, it does seem like they're going to slowly retire the old versions in favor of the true-scale based on what they -didn't- say. GW could have emphasized their being a limited number of super marines, but instead they focused on how they can be used by anyone. I don't have any past armies so I can't blame them. Nothing like a good product refresh...

I think there was so much salt flying around yesterday that they ended up like Lot's wife.

I'm excited to see what they release today. Luckily I don't have to be to work for another hour and fifteen minutes.

In the unlikely event the new death guard actually are Custodes sized, they'll be a head taller than the mark X marines, just saying.

The Blood Angels 1st and 2nd Companies were sent to reinforce Cadia. And the third is still somewhere around Armageddon.

This is what all the waiting was for. Sigh.

Well the Blood Angels are screwed! That piece of artwork is cool as hell though

Dark imperium...Oh my
