If GW has any business sense at all, it will be the 4th war for Armageddon. IG/Orks boxed set. No way they are going to release more marines after they just released primaris boxed set. A Steel Legion/Ork campaign box would literally print money.

Problem is it would be two hoard armies, unless they had a really odd selection of Orks or Guard.

Has there yet to been box set without marines EVER? Doubt they are going to break the template.

Unless they get another new kit of some sort to expand their range, imperial knights would be best served by being rolled into a forces of the Imperium book with the other mini imperial factions to make a new Imperial agents book. No real need for a third codex based around a single kit.

That's a good idea. Good place for them to go.

If there is an Imperial Agents codex, that is where they belong. 5 weapon choices does not an army make.

From reddit, not my rumour:

u/revburn: Since people keep asking, this information was passed onto me secondhand and is from a vendor email to a shop owner.
I'm not denying that there is a chance of it being fake however, as proven in the history of this subreddit some of the most legit things are usually blasted as fake.
Now if it is proven fake I will pen a formal apology to this sub-reddit with a few days time of it being proven so.

Here should be the release schedule until June:

The sad thing is that, if there is a Campaign box, it will be Space Marines v. Something. Because there aren't enough Space Marines v. Something boxes out there already (none of which are limited).

Space Marines vs. Orks, considering the codex timing, or something else that wouldn't have a codex by the time of release. Maybe Space Marines vs. Genestealer Cults, using it as an excuse to give the Aberrants a sprue to themselves? Then again just reprising the Deathwatch: Overkill box seems unlikely, lol.

About this summer 40k campaign box : if the trend continues it's almost guaranteed it will be Imperium vs. Chaos. I guess it could be a way for GW to do a Primarch vs Primarch release.

If the Space Wolves Codex indeed comes in June, I can see a Russ vs Angron release ("Ragestorm" or "Ragetempest"), with some World Eaters, their Codex, maybe plastic Flesh-Hounds (that way, GW doesn't disturb their Chaos-in-Winter release pattern, Winter 2018-2019 probably being Slaanesh with EC and AOS).

Remember there is a huge World Eater army going to Terra right now. Russ could show up to save the day with some more of his wulfenesque sons. (And we have Adeptus Cutosdes now too).

there are more rumors that this year is for slaanesh.
So the chaos primarch should be fulgrim.



would be great the old rumor of new box sisters vs genestealer cults. (both are not named in that list) with imperial agents/inq



Also seing that the heralds of malign portents will be on february, maybe the next weeks will be custodes.

Yes it should be like this.

What I meant is indeed Russ and Angron around Summer 2018, and then Fulgrim in Winter 2018-2019 (so "this year" too).

I'm quite sure Slaanesh is end of the year, but I'm sure GW can put out 2-3 primarchs for 40k this year.

Do you think that 2 Primarchs would be the in the boxed set? Because I could never see that happening and I couldn't see them releasing Primarchs at the same time as a boxed set either. Primarchs shift boxes anyway, there'd be no point in adding a boxed set to encourage further purchases.

To be honest, I doubt GW will release more than one Primarch at a time, it is too big an event to wrap up with another.

Well what I meant is that I think the boxset will be Imperium vs Chaos. Maybe Space Wolves vs World Eaters.

And with the campaign we could see Russ and Angron, but with other releases, not in the boxset of course.

Primarch would be separately. They wouldn't give THAT huge discount or make start box expensive enough to make discount not be significantly more than before

I think we can be almost garnteed they won't put out two primarchs together. a Primarch is a big deal. they're "Headline events" and releasing two at once would over shadow one.


I also doubt we'll see Angron this year. IIRC none of the rumor mongers have suggested him, combined with some fluff where an attempt to summon him was topped. AND that he wasn't specificly mentioned in GS3 among the demon primarchs reacting to his return (Mortorian and fulgrim meanwhile where) makes me conclude Angron's not on their slate for the IMMEDIATE FUTURE. an d may be next year, if not "a couple of years off" possiably intended to be the "big splash" for 2019?

Hastings(who has had pretty much spot on track records) stated around time Guillimann specifically called out Guillimann, Mortarion, Magnus, Russ and Angon(didn't specify order except for Guillimann being first obviously since it was already known release)

Of course it's possible he was mistaken or things got changed afterwards.

Plastic Greatcoats and new Orks .... I would be broke in an instant

A loyalist Primarch in a box set isn't implausible. Though wildly oversized, they are still only dreadnoughtish in size and Gulliman came in a three character box set.

A daemon Primarch In a box set would be extremely improbable given their hugeness and cost. It'd be just short of having a Knight in a box set.

I recall that too although I seem to recall it being Fulgrim not Angron.

which honestly makes sense, useally deamon primarch releases coincide with a major release for stuff associated with that demon (the legion stuff followed by demon releases in 2-3 months) thing about Angron is we already have plastic Khorne Bezerkers, plastic blood thristers and a lot of other things, Khorn has gotten a TON of love which could delay a angron release. (on the other hand it could make things easier for one, really the only new kit WEs need IMHO is a terminator bezerker. toss that out and some other fun stuff like bezerkers riding hounds and I think it's set.

??? Guilliman wasn't first (even of those listed).

Although I bought the new 40k rulebook and some of the new Primaris stuff and DG stuff, I'm actually more put off the game at the moment due to lack of variety.
It seems GW have made a game of Red Marines vs Blue Marines vs Green Marines vs Yellow Marines vs Silver Marines vs (new) Gold Marines vs Black Marines vs Dirty Evil Chaos Marines vs Rainbow Marines... etc.
So much for protecting mankind from the alien menace. What alien menace? They just fight amongst themselves.

Seriously, how many more main colours are there to sell a new flavour of Space Marines before we get Aliens?

Huh? Was it Magnus then? Memory failing. Either way when first primarch was released Hastings named 5 primarch. Until another reliable source says otherwise I'm betting on those 5 being first 5 due to Hasting's track record.

in fact, Bob of War of Sigmar (Lady Atia) has been saying there would be Khorne this year / summer.

That would be the occasion to release a World Eater codex, with plastic berserkers, plastic terminators, plastic flesh-hounds, 1-2 plastic characters and Angron.
(I.e. a Wrath of Magnus / Thousand sons sized release, coming with a campaign book).

That way, both World Eaters and Khorne Daemons ranges would be complete for 40k (AOS Blade of Khorne already done), that would just be another codex for this year...

... ending, as it should with all things Slaanesh , with Fulgrim & EC in November / Keeper Of Secret & Daemons for AOS in January, as we have seen for Tzeentch and Nurgle the last two years.

Oh my Emperor I just realised a storm is brewing for Armageddon, with Orks getting a codex that month, imagine the campaign box and book being Warzone: Armageddon.

Orks vs Steel Legion, then release Angron and Khorne goodies along side the campaign...... be still my beating heart, I swear if this is the case.........Mighty Emperor......

You're not the only one bud. Hopefully we get a resurgence of the Xenos threat once more dexes are made available. Ideally there's a campaign focused on Xenos with new model releases but that might be too much to ask.

I found one of the "Khorne for 2018 rumors". Note that Lady Atia and Bob don't seem to agree on the release order

I could see an Armageddon box with Orks. But not with Steel Legion. It will be Space Marines vs Orks instead. Because every box always has Space Marines. Space Marines sell better than anything else.
Plastic Steel Legion is kinda to IG players what the plastic Thunderhawk is to SM players. Something we would all really like to see, and for which rumours come up every now and then but which is likely never going to actually happen.
Which is a pity, since I would really like to have plastic Steel Legion to use as a base for conversions. If GW ever releases new plastic IG infantry, it will most likely just be new Cadians.

As much as I Wish for Khorne, I trust Atia more than Bob. Btw her prediction of both Khorne and Slaanesh is a dead given, following the release of death Guard and 1k Sons.

Any word on DeathWatch? What has the most current rules for DW?

You do know Natfka never has and never will be any rumors source? He finds or is sent stuff and posts what he thinks might be credible or of interest.

That's like me saying I don't trust you if you posted a rumor you found and reposted here on Dakka.

Index Imperial 1 + CA

A boxed game I have heard of, which may link into a 40k event/campaign is a "warhammer quest" style/based 40k game based in a necron tomb (note this could be a tomb world, tomb ship or necron tech, it was not clear) and apparently leads to a race to reclaim a relic between abaddon and guilliman and is a progression of the narrative.

Details were light, but was said to have some great references to rogue trader and earlier days of 40k lore.
