Just got an email from Black Library with a book cover that has a stylistic Astra Telepathica symbol mixed with an Aquila on it.

It's for Blackstone Fortress.

Here's to hoping that Psychic Awakening is just a Blackstone Fortress expansion.

Do you mean "The Warp's Curse" short story?
Because that's about the Primaris Psyker that's in the "Escalation" expansion and the Purifier.

I only ask as apparently I'm not subscribed to the Black Library newsletter anymore, but that short story is listed as "New" and has what you're talking about.


Yes, that is what the email is about. Even has the name of that story on the picture.

Link to the picture, I don't want to mislead anyone to thinking it's something from NOVA though.

I'm hoping we get some more previews of the Warbands that will be in the Beastgrave season.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

I'm beginning to suspect that the Iron father mini will be a dual tech marine kit. Knights of Macragge mentions a techmarine firing a volkite gun, which isn't normal armernment for a tech marine. mighta just been a "look he's using heresy era tech! cause tech marines get fun toys" or it might be a tease we've missed

Oh god I hope not. I don't think it would be. If the new Codex: SM's and UM supplement are any indicators, there will just be a unique Psychic Discipline for each faction & sub-faction in their books. Most factions and their sub-factions already have a unique discipline in their books. So there's nowhere to really go.

I really hope Psychic Awakening is something that doesn't really have anything to do with W40K proper. I'm under the impression that a lot of people are hoping for this.

They said everyone will get something iirc.

Did they say that? Or did they say "Everyone will have a reason to be excited", which is entirely different because they expect you to be excited about having new enemies/dangers to face on the table and stuff.
Count the number of time they said "Everyone will have a reason to be excited" but there were no release for some factions.


The answer is 'always' because even when sisters get stuff inquisition usually doesn't.

I’m just hoping it’s more than just a 40k version of Endless Spells.

That's one of the things that people didn't seem to 'get' from the Malign Sorcery boxed set and what it added.

It wasn't just Endless Spells. It also included a whole slew of Realm specific relics, some Realm specific spells, and a whole new setup for Path to Glory to let you play 'at the Realm's Edge', hunting for Realmstone.

I could easily see Psychic Awakening bringing in some 'conditional' relics/traits/powers, the Warpstorm stuff that we got in The Fall of Cadia book, and some 'Endless Powers' that aren't really faction specific.

I've been wondering if Psychic Awakening will be more like Malign Portents and the Soul Wars. Not just one big box release, but a series of releases over several years with narrative connections.

3 hours to go - possibly 2 if the time on the GW community page is the online info release. Plus minus 1 hour from that as whilst you're not supposed to at least one or two people do seem to stream some content during - for those eagle eyed to spot it on various twitter/fb pages

That's probably because of the new Kill Team box set, nothing to do with Nova.

I would actually really like Kill Team to have an expansion where you fight a Dreadnought, Killa Kans/Deff Dread, Sentinel, etc.
