Did they do the Abaddon reveal on a Tuesday? Could be a full reveal date. Seems more likely than pre-order date.

Almost certainly not. It's just a joke. GW isn't going to start releasing stuff on Tuesdays.

This could well be one of the occasional far ahead forecasts that GW does. We're seeing models previewed weeks or months before they land nowadays - e.g. with the Repulsor Executioner. I'd love for these models to be out in two weeks but there's no proof that's the case, sadly.

July 23rd is a Tuesday...

Ah, the archetypal Marine release day.

It'll be interesting to see. AoS open day is on the 20th and the first opportunity to play Warcry. If that's the preorder date for it, too, we'll have one week between Chaos Knights and that. Else Marines will be after, and we don't know if Warcry will occupy just one week or more.

TBF these minis were previewed in Shadowspear.

It could be 723 days after July 17, 2017 (8th Edition release date). Or maybe 723 days after the current Codex: Space Marines codex was released (which was like two weeks after that, if I remember right). Or literally just a random number they tossed out.

Maybe primaris will be released in themed groups a bit like the stormcast were. I think Vanguard is even the name given to the sneaky versions of both forces. So first we got the basic intercessors, who are a lot like liberators. Now we get the sneaky guys. In future we might get a bunch of heavy shooty ones, or some choppy melee types - or whatever. Maybe they’ll stick rigidly to the formula and we’ll get a bunch of holy female marines next... wait!

That was stated basically by Jervis in his interview. The next wave will be heavier support based on Gravis armour.

As an additional thought, I don't believe the dudes on the left are infiltrators, they don't have any projections from the top of their backacks. So maybe a new unit entirely or reivers/infils with different weapons/options?

I didn't read that much into it people calm down, I didn't even check the day of the week it was...

March 5th was Abaddon's reveal date...

For the people who wanted him? Glorious day. Everyone else...it was a Tuesday.

Maybe not the date for pre order as those are always Saturdays but most likely the announcement date. Pre order that Saturday or the week after potentially.

Anyone heard about the "Silver Templars" supplement rumored? It's supposedly an all-Primaris Chapter. I've seen some 'leaked' photos of the book, but can't seem to find them again

What's likely happening is that it's an announcement for a revamped Marines book that won't be up for preorder for a bit. We know there's an Iron Hands character coming, we know there's stuff coming for Vanguard, and I wouldn't be shocked to see another Gravis kit.

There's no "leak". It's from the Warhammer 40,000: Conquest stuff over in UK/EU and apparently now Australia. Here's the pictures I could find:

That's the conquest Supplement right? Came with the latest delivery in the UK.

Naw, don't apologize. It's a valid suggestion, and there certainly is precedent for reveals on Tuesdays and easter eggs hidden in GW videos.

Always worth remembering that we Brits don’t write our dates like that.

We do it properly!

As much as I accustomed to the Month/Day/Year format, I will admit I do like the Day/Month/Year format better. It just flows better.
Same goes for the metric system. It just makes more sense. No idea why we Americans do things the way we do sometimes

What's the 23rd month?

The premise behind the speculation, currently, is simply that they wanted to make a joke work alongside of a little "easter egg" for something to come. Since July 20th is the Age of Sigmar Open Day, them starting a teaser campaign for a new 'phase' of the whole Primaris thing wouldn't be out of the question on the 23rd.

Yeah yeah yeah, Brits write things D/M/Y...but that's what makes the easter egg work. If they'd written it as episode 237, we'd likely be having the same discussion with people talking about how "we Brits write our dates like that"

But the man running the show pronounces lieutenant properly. To go full blown conspiracy theorist on this, that may be a hint he's not using the British dating system.

No article today so god knows when we'll actually see the new models.

or it might just be a joke on how it's oft mispronounced thanks to American pop culture being everywhere. I can't speak for the British experiance, but in Canada we offically pronounce it leftenant but lootenant is more commonly used by civilians simply because we get our info from TV which is all American programming for the most part.

The list of outstanding releases isn't that long. Out of the stuff previewed in May, IIRC we only have these to go:

Warcry
AoS Sylvaneth battletome
Elf Blood Bowl team
New Titanicus knights & cards
Necromunda Enforcers (confirmed as August)
Another Blackstone expansion

Many of the specialist games items could may even be covered in a single week. I'd expect to see the new marines by late August / early Sept barring any surprises.

Weird, when I had joint training with the Canadian Army, the Lieutenants were referred to Lieutenants not Leftenants. Though by that time I was already a Captain, so maybe I just wasn't listening to it when it was said.

I might be wrong, it's also possiable it's changed. Canada is kind of an oddball country that sometimes has trouble making up it's mind if it wants to be American or British

You left out the Quebecois which I think is a violation of some code or something in your country; they want to be neither but instead choose to want to be French! Even if the actual French will have nothing to do with them while taking humorous delight in their provincial "French" accents... or at least the two I've known in real life did!

French person here, I can confirm that Quebecois accent are absolutely, irremediably hilarious.
It's extremely disturbing when hearing actually dark things said with a Quebecois accent because you still can't shake the feeling that the person is talking in a voluntarily silly voice.

Pff always the same with you language Imperialists making fun of the local dialects! You are equally as bad as the germans and you should feel bad for that alone! :

Oh I love Swiss accents, such a small country but so many different accents!
Also I'm Swiss I have double citizenship (but I live in France and speak with a French accent, except when I make my best Genevois accent impression ^^).

Papierlischwiizer! nothing to add to that.

Well your country saved my grandmother's life during WW2 so now I inherited Swiss nationality. I may go live in Chaux de Fond but not before you go all the way and expand the “No muezzin” law to include also “No church bells ringing” too, because damn that's crazy loud!

Switzerland is not laicistic and will never be, which insofar is good since the swiss state can intervene directly into religious ideology if unhappy (generally though the Federal level doesn't because Kantons solve their own issues.) . (regarding the last ruling of the federal jurisdiction you have no influence as a newcomer torwards local tradition i.e.cowbells, churchbells and or Fastnacht especially if you are not of the area.)

Also switzerland does not seperate Church from the state. (Teilung not Trennung) split of competences not Separation.

Adapt or don't bother is my recomendation.

Also rather the churchbells then general malaise.

Btw swiss german is not a dialect, it's literally german v 0,5 an older Version that also not had to suffer through lingua terci imperi.
