So far, we had:
Book 1 with four releases.
Book 2 with a sorcerer
Book 3 with mephiston.
And more new heroes set to be revealed. The Reborn line is probably primaris. Grey knights or Azrael next book

It seems SW vs Orks will be in PA6 and not PA4 like we thought it would be.

Next book is Thousand Sons vs DA + GK ?

yep, and my guess is the Tau will be either vs Admech or Deathwatch.

Possibly both.
Or none actually, it could have a xenos-off against necrons. we are running out of loyalists anyway, and there is also the saga of the beast right after-orks for sure, loyalists could be SW? (saga) and/or deathwatch.


Honestly its hard to tell.

Tau vs Death Guard would also be possible.

"Each book will be accompanied by an epic champion to lead the charge in this terrible age. These legendary heroes will include reborn, reimagined and brand-new characters, but we can’t reveal any more details at the moment."

That's an interesting mix of characters for those three books.

Reimagined I think makes sense for Ghaz, it seems odd to have an Ork book that doesn't include him. Especially as the new Beast. Unless this is taking us back to Vigilus, where there are Space wolves and Orks (and this is the Wolf primaris update).

Reborn seems like it would make sense for the Ritual of the Damned - either more crossing the Rubicon Primaris or part of whatever this ritual was meant to do. Left field choice here would be also Puretide or Shadowsun, cloned and implanted with an engram chip.

So new Tau character?

Or new Deathwatch character fighting the Tau.


(Not confirmed, just the only flavor of imperial marine left)

"Each book will be accompanied by an epic champion". Except if you're Chaos or Black Templars, because you're only getting a generic Chaos Sorcerer.

So would Tau vs Tau...

Farsight and Shadowsun both could use updated models, and much like they did with the Blood of the Phoenix box? It could be possible that Farsight Enclaves get a Ynnari style setup.

Psychic Awakening would be much more loved by people if each book came with models like the first one. A character and a plastic unit for each of the two factions.

That'll be it. Gotta give all the loyalist marines their power boost.

People didn't love the first psychic awakening though. The release of those models was extremely cynical even by GW standards. Especially since you've still got to buy the PA rules separately lol...

just look at the new sisters box that sold out instantly - it's 20 USD cheaper, has 100% beautiful new models, and it comes with datacards and the new book. The online stores are still struggling to sell the eldar boxes

I'm not defending the rules of the first book or Blood of the Phoenix. I'm just saying that one character and one unit for the two forces that are part of the book would had people much more hyped for all of this.

Please please please PA book 4 don't be just a DA/GK codex with 3 stratagems and 3 relics for Thousand Sons, after the nerfs just received with CA we need something...

To be fair the quote is talking about these three upcoming books..
And it doesn’t say named character, so arguably a sorcerer could be an epic champion

As above, I think this would have been a lot better Received if the releases were like PA1 models wise (maybe 2 onwards content wise), even if it meant they were further apart..

Honestly i know i'm a minority, but i agree with the Tau vs Death guard. I mean aren't they sieging the wormhole that brings to the Tau homeworld?

Except FSE are not a different army, they are merely a chapter equivalent. that idea makes no sense at all.

Donno about you, my list went DOWN in points.
Yea, the princes and goats went up, but a lot of stuff went down.

It better not be more space marine characters.
Its going to be more space marines isn't it?

Hmmm. What's wrong with a new lieutenant model?

I'm really confused as to why it's Thousand Sons VS Gk and Dark Angels. Instead of the faction they have incredible hatred and rivalry with and continually have nonsensical battles with. I can understand GK because daemons but why DA instead of the Wolves.
The bright side is it delays my suffering as GW releases another atrocity...

My went up (2 princes and 30 goats ita already +60) and even if it stayed even, in a world where some other armies gor 150-200 points more to use in their lost that'll leave my in a real bad spot

Well, with a Space Wolves release in march, they'll probably miss the peak-Space Marine era the second time in 8th edition, assuming that'll be the spring FAQ when GW starts course-correcting, lol

dude, if any faction of Space Marines needs a new character model, it's Dark Angels.

Not at all.
Thousand Sons...lots of plastic models...none needed.
Grey Knights...Draigo could do with a model, maybe a return of the ghost fella?
Dark Angels....Azrael and Ezekiel...ancient models, Belial is terrible too.

Out of the 3 in the next book, Dark Angels need the new character the most. Period.

Honest question: Are you new to TS?

It would be nice if Grey Knights got straight truescale upgrades, but pigs don’t fly yet so I’ll take an updated Dark Angels character as long as they don’t bitch him like they did to Shrike.

PA4 is going to to be the same as PA2 and PA3 - yet another Marine supplement in all but name - same as P5 but Wolves rather than Dark Angels

So 50% Dark Angels "Not Codex", 25% generic Marines Boosts, 13% Lore about Some form of Marines and 13% split between Grey Knights and Thousand Sons and maybe 4& on anythig non marine related.

I love how people say thousand sons don’t need any models. Our codex has three elite choices and two fast attack with one as spawn and the other is literally a unit just ported over from AOS. They really need at least one more fast and elite choices. However based on what CSM got I am not holding my breath that Tsons will get anything good.

Thousand Sons don’t need any UPDATED models, which is all PA has been. Updates.

Of course they need new units.
