Pretty sure it was a central discussion point in the open day thread

Yup yup. My body is ready. Taking bets on if the new miniature will be for TS or if it will be a loyalist.

Here's hoping The Lion returns.

I can't imagine GW adding a non Primaris model at that point to a loyal SM faction, so I guess GK are out of luck.

Dark Angels could get a Primaris Azrael. I don't feel it is the right environment to bring the Lion. Not enough "drama" in the Psychic Awakening storyline so far.

Thousand Sons all have fairly recent models.

Really hard to tell who it is going to be.

I just hope gk get an enormous buff. Just so gk players can shut up for a minute.

They're using up all the salt. That's csm property.

Given how the trailer is structured, TS speaker, TS symbol spinning for a while before the other are shown, located on Prospero, it makes me think that this PA might be TS centric, also with the Christmas reveal it might indicate some box that might introduce some new units to an otherwise very limited TS range, it would be a great occasion for GW to break the everything c:sm cycle that has been going on for a while.

But on the other hand, that’s probably wishful thinking and this will be another SM release as a GK/DA supplement with 5-10 pages tops for TS name generator and a couple of relics and strats as the trend so far would suggest

Dark Angels and Grey Knights allow the Thousand Sons to reclaim Prospero, add another reason for the Dark Angels/Space Wolves feud.

Also, I expect nothing. TS codex has been a useful soup component, I expect it to remain so, that's about it.

As a 1ksons player I am ready to be disappointed!

That's where they get you. Then they punch you in the nuts and steal your case.

You Sir have a sadly hilarious point.

story wise, I don't think there is anything to gain for GK here. DA even if they lose, will probably get a primaris someone from it.
Wouldn't be suprised if the whole thing started with GK arrived to stop X, magnus blows them up off screen.

Thousand sons, Grey knights, and dark angels?

My guess is new DA character, and an aggressor unit. With GK and TS getting more or less the same rules, since they do have similar themes

I think it could be interesting if GK could gain a new character out from this. Afterall, the first GK grandmaster was a loyalist tsons.

My guess DA's will get a new char access to doctrines, a super doctrine, the useal phobos update, new strats , Grey Knights will get some new rules,hopefully a new psykic power list, new strats, new warlord traits, new relics, if they're really lucky they'll get doctrines and super doctrine (or something similer) thousand sons will get new relics, warlord traits, new strats.

ohh and everyone will get a random names list!

GK primaris based off more tinkering with Magnus' geneseed? I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

A new lore is almost guaranteed for GK. I wouldn't cry if they gave TS Sects and a spell specific to each.

Oh I hope it is going to be interesting, and stuff is going to happen. I just don't see how GK could score any win here. If we do, then we banish magnus and he can't enter the real space for 999years. And I really have my doubts, GW would allow something like that to happen. I fully expect lore for a brotherhood of some sort, and it getting wiped out . Maybe they will get a doctrine of their own, specific psychic powers, stratagems and brotherhood specfic relics. There is close to zero chance for a new models, so new model is not going to happen. Or it is going to be something like character NDK. I just hope it is going to be enough, after the CA point costs changes am rather jaded. Specially when now I understand what "around X points" means for GW.

I doubt GW would release a TS Character so soon after the generic CSM Sorcerer... but one can dream.

This is set up for maximum salt. TS and GK get a couple relics, traits and strats maybe a spell. Dark Angels get full supplement treatment.

GK need something more then anyone else, that said even just a new psyker school would go a long way I think. partiuclarly if it was a GOOD ONE.

I wouldn't expect anything less than what an individual CSM legion got in F&F. I know it's a great way to set myself up for disappointment though.

Very much this. They should have at least 3 lores at their disposal, but two is better than what they have now. Then they could at least flex their casting ability without leaning back on short range smites (and characters to buff range).

DA are the shooty plasma chapter so it will probably be a disgustingly good Devastator doctrine problem to add to the pile.

I could be wrong though. Terminators are so iconic and terrible that I'd be ok with them making Deathwing great again.

Rumour is that GK are going to get a TON from PA so we'll see.

I believe it - GW won't allow any Marine sub class, no matter how popular, to lag behind their OP brethren.

As for the release, I couldn't care less. Cloaked Marine or Egyptian themed Marine? Yawn.

Maybe 1ksons constructs, like non fleshy oblits? Or more units of 1ksons librarians , maybe that get extra psychic powers or get stronger powers when they are in a group. Kind of a like that 18W model for SoB.

Honestly I think chances of primaris GKs is zero. They would need a complete unique model line I don’t think GW is ready to commit to yet if ever.
