that makes sense we know sisters are getting slotted into custodes.

that said the silent king's return has been all but said already, that's IMHO the big news and we should expect no more and no less.

anything beyond that one reveal? is a bonus


Do they - Are the Sisters of Silence religious?


... it's honestly been left kinda unclear TBH. as we've only seen them apper in two novels.

Everything I have read of their lore says they are not and its implied that the have a deep hate for the Eclesiarcy, it's implied that they were involved in the SoS being cast out.

Also on the Religious side there is implied that Guilliman sees the ecclesiarcy and has the does no one remember Lorgar and the mess this god worshipping caused last time, but then goes F*** it I don't have time to fix this idiocy I have choas to fight.

At this point any split in the imperium is likely to be religious vrs secular, but given SoB have just been released turning to that civil war would be a risk for GW.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units."
Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?"
Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"
Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH.

More likely than not, it's a formal announcement of a bunch of novels along with whatever else is happening.

that's hardly the only time GW has released novels. more often then not big special events have tie in novels. (it's shocking come to think of it there was no Vigilus novel)

Ughhgh I hate Guilliman and the edgelord-atheist stuff since mid ABG's HH books. Its a bit too cringe-worthy and cliche for me, but I suppose that's the dominant taste among the fanbase. I preferred the strong ambiguity (as opposed to the current weak theory) as to whether the Emperor's divinity was a straight lie or hidden per his plans, with even examples of Ultramarines calling him God-Emperor, etc.

I do think we will see a civil war or a cold-war style uneasy truce between Guilliman and another faction.

True. My point was that new BL content could point to this being a new edition or possibly a new campaign series. Guess we'll know soon.

Yeah, it's not like there was all the free stories they posted!
That's the route they have been going rather than "tie in novels" of late. Vigilus had it and Psychic Awakening had it, and on the Age of Sigmar side? Malign Portents had it and Forbidden Power had it.

It's rather worth mentioning that it is a Thing of late for GW to have novels dropping alongside starter sets.

Books and corresponding models? Or Models of already released material along the same lined as the Daemonifuge stuff from the last set of previews.

Actually theys split one book into two because of GW's secrecy and the way WD was published. One day you will accept this and stop going on about how they ruined your "Skitarii army".

To be fair, everything he said about Skitarii was right. They were better by themselves than Cult. Cult players were the ones that were annoyed that they were two separate codices, even though they were completely two different armies compared to "oh look they're Marines but totally different!!!1!". And, while the move to put them in the same codex was probably correct, they weren't able to be pure Skitarii which immediately invalidated an army and you had to go buy an overpriced character (both in points and money).

Maybe they'll announce that Daemonifuge will be getting an ending?

Was it though? The idea that the two be separate is daft, and they were meant to be one thing right from the start. They're the Adeptus Mechanicus. It'd be like taking Scouts and Terminators out of Marine forces and making them separate. The two are not two. They are one. The only reason two books were made was because of GW's asinine secrecy, not because of any logical reasons.

Books associated with whatever might be happening. Not necessarily model related...unless it's another Primarch, then all bets are off.

Nothing about the move makes sense regarding secrecy though as much as they want to say it, though.

remember this was at the height of the post CH era where putting out a codex and saying "these new models will be out in 6 months"could result in another chapter house beating them to the punch

I was just thinking this is what it would be - 9th ed and I'm betting new $300 box set.

And it'll be primaris and some shovelware xenos that haven't been updated in 6+ years.

On moon miranda.

I'll reserve final judgement on a new edition for now, but my guess is this will amount to little more than a metashift, and likely will otherwise fundamentally retain most of the same problems we have now with vastly overdeveloped levels of killing power and systemic issues with gobs of afterthought tacked-on layered special rules spread over multiple books since they're keeping everything from 8E compatible. Looking at the Grey Knights on my painting table, the basic Troops of the army have no fewer than 9 distinct special rules (ATSKNF, Bolter Discipline, Combat Squads, Crux Terminatus, Daemon Hunters, Masters of the Warp, Rites of Banishment, Shock Assault, and Teleport Strike) that have to be collected from 3 different sources (GK Codex, Chapter Approved, and Psychic Awakening) several of which GW could get rid of if they could bring themselves to just Errata the statline of the units. If they do this right, my hope is that such will no longer be necessary, but I'm not going to hold my breath. We'll see how it shakes out.

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.

New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights!
The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.
