I like the idea for a wierdboy "odd skwad" ala warlock conclave. Seeing as its the psychic awakening and all.. lol.

Also really surprised by the amount of thinking a typical nob does.. Very impressive.

I'd also like a "WAAAAGGGHHH!Lock conclave".

As to the entities on scrap ships - they are a vision of the future I believe. The story names them as Orks because they have the same gubbinz and they're described kinda Orky in movement. Weirdboyz exploded and left this weird ethereal vision that showed what happens if you join da big WAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!

Only if they randomly blow up in CC!

that would be dope!

The weird thing in the sky I assumed was the Great Rift; the visions have always been part of Ork lore as to how Waarghs get started. The boys start getting these visions, the meks start building ships and gargants and the boys start coalescing under the biggest, baddest boss they can find. And it just keeps building up energy, material and troops until, boom! They’re spreading across dozens of systems!

I think Orks will get Klan psychic powers and 'kustom jobs' as the unit relic equivalent. Which does make it seem like quite a small book even with a hefty Space wolf primaris update.

Who's left after this and Engine War? Sisters, Custodes, Deathwatch, Deathguard and Necrons? Imperial agents maybe? Still it's an odd mix.

Does seem like Saga probably should cover one of those other factions.

Maybe it will have more sisters fluff to accompany rest of sisters in march and that's sisters gain in PA? If that's what it takes to get rest of the models this year bring it on!

that would be nice, suprising but nice. I'd love to get a "create an order" rules set for sisters but I don't think we're going to, space Mariens very clearly had each core chapter tactic made up as something that was easily diviable in two (except iron hands who effectively got 3.... cause balance!) sisters don't really have that.

If you ever play a warphead or two, you'll have no troubles blowing up themselves with perils - just give that waaagh-conclave the same rules as regular weird boyz (+1 to cast for 10 orks, perils on 11+) and you'll have tons of explosions.

Nope. Customs probably have it.

Honestly, I'd rather not get any new rules for the Sisters - not a fan of a brand new book becoming incomplete within months of its release. The remaining miniatures can't come soon enough however!

Well, rather no new book... unless the Sisters will get a Cannones with 1) not weirdly restrictive wargear options, 2) jump pack, and/or 3) battle pulpit option. Ain't happening, but that would be acceptable...

I'd be fine if it was something highly optional such as minorus order rules.

yup

If this is legit, it would lend credence to the Warp Spider PL Easter egg in the Greater Good, potentially. I could see War of the Spider containing Harlequins (Webway = Spider?) with maybe an update to Warp Spiders + Phoenix Lord against maybe Necrons? The only two factions I can think of when I think of the War of the Spider are Eldar and Necrons.

https://spikeybits.com/2020/02/rumors-40ks-psychic-awakening-book-is-war-of-the-spider.html

It actually says ‘War of Spider’ not ‘war of the spider’. Gotta be Necron related I think. Doubt very much Craftworld get anything new. They haven’t even got their Banshees separate have they?

Most likely Necron focus. They have a lot of spidery units and it fits for me. I think the warp spider thing is a stretch.

Warp spider PL Easter Egg ?? Care to elaborate?

As awesome as that would be, yeah I don't think they will revisit craftworlds unfortunately. No new warlord traits relics or strategems for us.
Probably another chaos berserkers getting 2 W's

Harlies v necrons perhaps something to do with the webway.

Badly translated from "Webway War" to "War of Spider"?

It seems to make sense.. Far more than a warp spider Phoenix Lord sadly.. I can see the Necrons trying to destroy the webway/old ones creation.

Wasn't there a rumour a while back about Illuminor Szeras getting a new larger model?

Warp Spiders arrive to recover "ancient relic armor", similar to how Mymeara recovered Irillyth's armor. Could be the Warp Spider PL. Could be absolutely anything, but one can hope.

From Psychic Awakening: Greater Good

Plastic Warp Spiders? Replacement for easily one of the oldest minis still in the range? Dare we dream to hope?

*looks at Greater Good GSC rules*
*looks at 1KSons Relic ruling in the FAQ*

Best not get our hopes up.

I wasn't suggesting that Craftworlds would get anything more than a new Warp Spider datasheet and Warp Spider PL datasheet. But yeah, it's probably a long shot.

Excellent find!

Could have been a spirit stone recovery mission.
Could indeed be a phoenix armour recovery...
But yeah could be anything..

Now I got my hopes up
Daaaaaammm youuuuuu!!!!!

If eldar get a second book of goodies that would also explain BOTP's box set being their only mini release as well.

Its not happening we aint marines XD

While it may be tempting to dream of a Warp Spider Phoenix Lord, ancient armor might refer to "merely" a Spider Exarch's armor being recovered.

i.e. maybe it's just an update of the Warp Spider squad + Exarch.

I think it's very ambitious to expect any more releases for Craftworld during PA. Craftworld have had more than most in terms of new models (regardless of how poorly you believe BoTP was handled).

GW have said each faction will get something. If CWE feature twice before some factions have featured once well, I dread to think of the salt that would flow.

More likely a reference to Necrons vs Harlies. Perhaps Harlies get a new model too (I believe Necrons are extremely likely to get a new model given rumour engine pics) but even that's a long shot, for me.

In would exercise caution CWE players, warp spiders will get new models eventually, no doubt, but not during PA.

I seriously doubt anyone would get salty about new warpspiders.
(Or any eldar aspect fwiw)

I know at least 3 people on this forum who will get salty about them for sure and create a thread about it, plus another one depending on whether there is a slight ambiguity in their rules or not.

I could see eldar featuring in a book story section without new rules in the book that features 'crons and harlies. I can also see the BOTP boxed stuff getting their independant release as part of that

The ambiguity dude, atleast has a (kind off) point.

As for the other bunch, considering that some complained about sisters getting a release i understand what you mean but GW is GW and if they smell blood in the watterrrrerm i meant money in wallets, they will throw out anything to get there.
