I don't like the sound of a massive rework of the setting - hope that bit's not true! I personally would hate to see it go the way of Warhammer Fantasy.

As much as the chaos reveal was good for me, they didn't show off a right lot else tbh.

Having finally begun the process of bringing myself up to date with new 40k fluff I have realized that it is probably time for some reworks to the setting. GW should definitely start taking the game in a direction that appeals to the tastes of the upcoming fans.

Now making it a good change is a different issue lol

I hope the eventual Ynnari/Eldar release finally undates the Aspect Warriors.
Lord knows they need it..

I am 99% parts of this were invented simply to stir up trouble on /tg/, which is not exceptionally difficult.

Huh, interesting. I also have a friend inside GW HQ. He hinted at an Eldar relaunch in 2019 too. I can't really comment on much else, I only know what I'm told in snippets. AnActualEnglishMan should be able to sort of confirm my posts. We had an exchange of PM some months back regarding information about 'Orktober' prior to it happening.

If true, the end of resin will be something to look forward to.... in 3 years time.

Hope one of the factions includes miscellaneous Imperium forces. Rogue Trader and other minor Imperium sub-factions. The Inquisition could be included too

Not impressed with the rest though. I can see a massive division of 40k with proper marines, and 41k with oversized scalecreepy copies.

Unfortunately bound to happen. You advance the story and the setting is likely to change. I'm tempted to dig out 7th Ed, and leave GW to mess with 8th.

I have to agree that the next big step I would like to see is Games Workshop replacing all of their resin kits. Not so much individual character/HQ units, but it still surprises (almost shocks) me that Warhammer 40k has troop choices that aren't plastic kits. IMO, troops should be the backbone of 40k armies due to the 28mm scope. I think CWE are the biggest sufferers of the problem of non-plastic troops of the factions with codices.

As a Chaos Space Marine player, I think there will still be a few kits that could use a modernization (Khorne Berserkers and Havocs), but I am pretty happy with these previews. I would hope GW made the CSM kit cover standard CSM, Chosen, Havocs (even a single missile launcher and lascannon would be nice) and with a bit of minor conversion Berserkers so the kit can cover a lot of ground all at once. But who knows. Still, I do think Eldar should be next up for a facelift.

Having a friend with a friend who works at GW who just happens to know what the big plans for what's coming out for the entire year for both AoS and 40K are, including knowing specific months, knowing what's planned with the lore, and what business/maufacturing plans are that are somewhat unrelated to the releases themselves for the year, yet without going into any actual specifics or even mentioning the other games? I think it's both too vague and too broadly specific once to be believable, especially when several things like the Black Legion miniatures (Blackstone Fortress already has both Traitor Guard and Beastmen) and "Primaris Wave 2" are pretty safe guesses.

Winged Helmets>Crested Helmets>Helmets with Hoods>Rebreathers with hoods>Rebreathers>Hoods>Bare heads.

Thats just how it is.

And, about those 4chan rumors... pfff... at this point theres so many rumors flying out there, and many have ended up being true but also many others haven't. I don't even know what to believe unless is near a actual release and then we see GW confirmation posting the legit information a couple weeks/days after.

Honestly.
I belive it when we i see it that there will be traitor guard.

And even then, if GW is behind it, it will be boring unadaptable imps with spikez.

They’ll look like the traitor guard from Blackstone Fortress.

Seems reasonable.

A: Don't put words in my mouth

B: I am generally expecting the same customizability options i had in IA13, which surprise surprise are not any more in there and, when asked why suddenly half the units were gone i fielded or could field as a R&H player and the answer was as lapidar as it gets and with the generally stomping out of customizability then yes i doubt the result will make many veteran players happy.

Other then that, at this stage i would take any codex nearly since the Index we got is gak

Half the stuff on that list is what GW announced at LVO, then a few guesses many would make.
So I guess it could be factual..

I can indeed confirm Eirikr has someone who knows things inside GW. Now where's the rest of the Ork updates at bud?!

My problem with this is that the bit about LoW's directly contradicts what was said at the New Year Open Day's Q&A session, where they said there was no plans for all factions to get one, and might even have said they think not all of them should have them.

Perhaps it was "major factions". Like, something any space marine army can take, an IG one, Chaos (any flavor), and Eldar (any flavor).

IG is about as much of a major faction as Orks. You mean "Imperium", "Chaos" and "Aeldari".

Does anyone else think the Captain in the art looks like Primaris Sgt. Tellion?

I thought that myself.

I wanna believe deldar getting a LoW finally! ... if that rumored 8th apoc is truthful

There has been a rumoured overhaul of the 40k setting for as long as there has been an internet. And most of the rest of that was spoiled at LVO. Not sure what this adds to the existing knowledge/ rumor base.

That message was posted on February 4, a few days before LVO..

I do not believe it at all, because many things are rumors that have been heard for some time, but others are just what GW said in LVO

Too late. They already did that at the end of 7th and with 8th. The whole Imperium split in half, return of a Primarch, Primaris Marines, Daemon Primarchs re-entering the fray, etc. etc.

Really? You edited out a pic because out of all the text it has the word 'gak' in it? Honestly...

Yeah, but you didn't really expect they'd stop there did you? GW's modern method is an ongoing plot that changes things on a whim, because that better suits their bizarro working method where the guys who make the models are the ones who decide what gets made, and then everyone else just kinda has to try and figure out how to fit what they produce into the setting somehow. You might think that's daft and will result in a simplistic saturday morning cartoon "narrative" where things "change" constantly at the surface level with names and toys coming and going but nobody ever actually winning or losing in a meaningful way, and so it's actually no different to the way things were before except to those who's interest is too brief to recognise the pattern or who simply don't care at all beyond buying newshinies and rolling some dice - that's how it looks to be going to me - but like it or loathe it that's the path GW have chosen and they're not going to stop with one Primarch, one big "galaxy shattering" event, this is the way things are now.

They're being less abrupt than they were with WHF, but in the end the ultimatum to existing fans is the same; get on board or get lost. On the plus side, fans who prefer 40K to 41k+ should have an easier time continuing to play 40K if they want to than WHFB fans did, since there's already a solid crowd of 2nd Edition players out there, and I've seen quite a few folk recently talking about their groups using a "director's cut" of 3rd and onwards. There's also a much bigger range of third party models available that fit the 40K aesthetic.

Infinity Crisises? In my 40k?

So how long 'til they do a 'world shattering' event where the repository of Space Marine Geneseed on Terra is lost and, combined with the massive grind of war, the various Chapters now find it impossible to create new Marines, leaving only Cawl's Primaris Marines as replaceable.
