Ok still official canon!
And what's the specific line anyway?
"Even the mighty Grey Knights, from whose seed Rauth's Chapter had been born, could hardly have been more suited to the task."
For context, Rauth is a member of the Exorcists assigned to Deathwatch Kill Team Talon.
Headhunted, pg 279 Hero's of the Space Marines
Such a bad throwaway line. For all intents and purposes anyone citing The Exorcists as a Grey Knights successor were just spouting fanon from 1d4chan.
It's still official, and there is nothing to contradict it anywhere.
In context, the kill team is going after an Ork psyker, so the Exorcist's abilities make them more useful than the anti-daemonic specialist Grey Knights,
The writers get stuff wrong all the time though. Didn't one guy refer to a Primarch when they meant Chapter Master in one of the older novels, for example?

They get stuff wrong all the time. IIRC Wraight has Freki as a male wolf and Geri as female, whereas they're traditionally both male in older fluff, and Wraight is undoubtedly one of their best authors, one of the only good ones imo. It's still all canon in cases like this, that's the general custom from what I gather. You're best off disregarding the egregious stuff from your personal head canon imo, it's better than arguing the toss online. Thus I mostly ignore all GW fluff except the good stuff (aka the stuff I like personally) and thus everything remains glorious.

Also, that looks like a Chaos Marine in the sisters shot... and a gsc in the Tau shot.

doesn't mean they're gonna be in the same book, sisters are clearly fighting chaos marines in their set up my guess is thats just a preview of upcoming models. which is good news for tau given that they're being displayed along side the massive sisters release

I was just giving LoftyS some information so they know it doesn't mean that Sisters will be featured in the rule section of PA whatever, and therefore will leave room for other factions.
You seems easily triggered into a sarcastic quip though.

Red Corsair wrote: So the community page has a blurb from the next months white dwarf and it mentions the return of the silent king to 40k and it dawned on me then how similar his actual name, Szarekh, is to Illuminor Szeras and I am starting to think that large model that comes on an oval base with stalker legs will be him. Sort of like the Necron version of a primarch.
It gets me a bit more excited for a new large character model for my crons, since it seemed strange that it would just be a redesign of a named cryptek originally. If the Silent King returns that would make for some epic narrative involving none eldar xenos for once.
Linking Szeras and Szarekh just because their names start with Sz seems... well, pretty thin. And honestly those two are practically opposites: Szeras was the architect of biotransference and continues to look to ways to augment the necron form because, as the Iron Hands say, the Flesh is Weak. Meanwhile Szarekh completely regrets the biotransference fate and would like to reverse it if he could. I doubt the two would ever work together. Besides, Szarekh has people for that. The Praetorians have been fulfilling his wishes for a while.
I think you misunderstood me entirely. I am not theorizing based on lore or background or wish listing. I was speculating that the rumor monger that said Szeras would be getting a large multi legged model may have no idea what they are looking at since they didn't seem to know much about Necrons themselves and couldn't even get Szeras name straight. I don't recall the rumors orinator but I think I saw it from Kirioth,

Irrelevant for the topic though. You don't have to have successor chapters to be space marine.

Grey knights, Thousand sons, and Dark angels are all factions where GW usually just chucks it out there and moves on as quickly as possible.
Which is really weird because they're also the factions (along with Blood Angels and Space wolves) where people seem the most passionate about the faction they're playing.

It's the forced frustration that's getting very boring with GW hype. They tease us for some "incredible" preview on the 24th, then no information at all. The SoB were the same : great hype with the boxset, then no news ; and when the news appears we suddenly learn that it is a limited edition boxset ... I hate this kind of hype.

Funny. You keep saying no news when they do give news. Just not full rules previews. Those always start after preorders. But guess for some PA needs to be special snowflake where GW has to change entire preview system just for the product.

You are making no sense. I'm not asking for a preview of the content of the book or something, just a clear date and complete purchasing information. It has nothing to do with the faction involved in PA4 because it was the exact same for the SoB boxset : why keeping the fact that it was a limited edition boxset and the fact that the preorder period will last 2 weeks until the very last moment ? It's a way to create frustration, and it's boring.
Now use your head and answer to my comment.

And I personally think that the usual is boring and create frustration : GW should change to make it clearer so that when they hype something, they give us a date or at least a time frame, like they did with the full sister release after the fiasco that was the boxset release.
