I don't really think there's anything wrong with possessed. It's just no one wants to commit to melee in that way and they'd rather pick up berzerkers.

They literally underperform compared to every other option in an already crowded elites slot.

Do we know what time is the open vegas seminar today?

Vegas is at GMT-8

We should see the stuff somewhere between dinner time and bedtime.

When did GW say he isn't a dark apostle or sorcerer?

Oh, cool! I didn't catch that. Can you link their quote saying that the master of the possessed is not a sorceror or an apostle? Thanks!

after you post where it says it's a sorcerer or an apostle

To be clear, this was asked in the comments, and the reply was "It says it's a Master of Possession", which isn't really a denial or affirmation. Not firm, anyway. They're being a bit cagey until the official announcement (which may happen tonight at LVO).

They're not missing a lot of the rules Gal Vorbak have now though?

They are missing

options like special weapons, power weapons etc.
an extra wound since GV have two, they should have 3 for 40k, sarge would have 4
rending equiv
WS 2+
Str5
T5
Rage Equiv
native deep strike
stubborn equiv

Gal Vorbak are what possessed should be rather than the unreliable trash unit we have now that is overshadowed by every other choice.

Speaking of the LVO it looks like we'll get some info from the seminar around 6 pm Pacific...

I think the seminar is at 6pm Las Vegas time, with the actual Community article going up at 9pm Eastern.

Not 100% sure though.

My bad. I had put my local time (Eastern) in the post. The Facebook post went up about an hour and a half ago.

How far off the 80 days Vigilus deadline are we? Is that in just over a week?

What are we expecting at the LVO?

The 80 days video was posted on December 15th, so that will be on the 5th of March. Which is on a Tuesday, which seems weird considering they release in weekend generally.

26 Days Remain...

Aaagh, 26 days still? Dayum, I am impatient!

Thanks for the responses.

Until we get more info I'll just assume GW will use the rest of the week for teasers of what to expect for the following Sunday announcement.

For instance, Tuesday we get a picture with sad looking Haarken and a "time's up" caption, Wednesday an animation in which a famous topknot stirs, and so forth.

I don't think now that GW does their animated teasers regularly and Vigilus 2 is kind of a big release, they'll just drop a simgle one along with the "next week on pre-order" announcement.

I like how it looks like its from a metal album cover. You can play powerwolf over that.

So they didn’t? That’s a disappointment..

Yeah, seems more like an evasive answer. Not like it really matters, one way or another.

I can't believe they picked a name like "Hyasphus" who in the world was in charge of that?

1.We're getting Primaris marines. If that's the case, I thought Fabius would've find a way.

2.We're gonna see 9th edition. This is a preview.

3. We get an updated codex with new rules for other bands(pipe dream).

4.We're getting a Black Legion HQ that only affects Possessed and Spawn, and a new way to play 40K.

Hopefully the next hour can tell....

I don't understand. What's wrong with that name?

I think it would make sense to drop new chaos cultist model reveal today + maybe chaos guardsmen full kit. If its tied to vigilus these would be the first waves rising up before the Black legion fully arrives.

On chaos primaris marines, I think this depends on what they do with fabius' character. In the novels he is still very torn about helping to rebuild the legions (despite trazyn trading him a huge stock of EC geneseed in return for his perfect mint condition uncorrupted fulgrim clone) He still seems very set on focusing on his new men instead of messing with more marines. I think fabius actually would work well as a kill team release with 1-2 of his apothocary friends and his gland hounds (would also be the time they make the model for the female "space marine" who hangs out with him. Although he seems against helping out chaos legions anymore the eldar in books do seem to be pushing him towards rebuilding the emperors children as part of some grand story of the harlequins.

They posted the full image. It's listed as "Shadowspear".

Well... that's certainly new.

Then, after the FAQ, it will only affect Black Legion Possessed/Spawn, and then after another FAQ, back to affecting anyone's Possessed/Spawn.

I wish all the Rievers had helmets like that fellow in the front, there.

So NOBODY is going to call out Primaris-ized Telion?

I see a rumor engine claw!

GW's newsletter went out perhaps a little early today. Contains a link to the LVO stuff (nothing there yet) and that new picture, but has this as the blurb:

New Chaos Space Marines. Sisters of Battle. The next chapter in the Soul Wars. And much, much more.
