New thread to clear the 19 pages of speculation

9th edition




Necrons

Here's a Necron pic that was posted in the previous thread to get things started:

Title says Mat 23, KK...

No but seriously, what are those pictures? We live in an age where they are just as likely to be third party sculpts for 3d printing.

So we're finally getting in the territory, where Marines look like Marines again

No it doesn't! It was the best spelled title ever, period. [/Sean Spicer]

So this was the point of shutting down my second thread?

There's my new Black Templar force. Glad I was right on that.

The swordy-shieldy boys are in the image with the Necrons, so unlikely to be third party...

The Vets/Character guy look very Inquisitorial.

These were dumped in the same place at the same time as all the Necron stuff. They're real.

I'm sorry about that, the only difference was this had the 9th edition FAQ so I went with this one. Thanks for getting it up so fast!

Just remembered my telly does Internet.

Watching it on a 60”. Lovely.

Whatever. Not worth my time. Do a good job running this one.

The marines look bloody excellent. I hope the new edition gives some buffs to melee so all those lovely chain and power swords will see some use.

the vetrs and the big boy both have the same INQ medallion?

That's not an Inquisition sigil. It's something new, in the form of a sword with a skull at the center of the hilt.

These are some (older)examples of Inquisitorial Rosettes:

Rosettes are personalized and exclusive to the Inquisitor in question.

This is the Inquisition Sigil as of now:

I'll be damned, non character Primaris models that don't suck complete gak! Who would've thought that taking the existing Space Marine look and making the models bigger was all you needed to do?

Eventhough these units will be universal I assume their lore will always tie into the fight with the Xenos/Necrons being their first appearance hench the regalia.

Guessing that’s the new Crux Terminus, as primaris don’t fit in TDA.

Those bikes are excellent. Just imagining them with Ravenwing bits ... hmmmm.

The Imperium has a lot of I symbols. I with 3 bars is the Inquisition, I with a ships wheel is the navy, I with a sun is church.

TBH a new edition at this time is a good move by GW. Even if there are no new rules and tbh most people dont play GW games for the tight rules, this will mitigate and put more pressure on other games companies that have been doing fairly well of late.

Those pixiated previews. The look like some of the AoS style models repurposed and re-sculpted for 40K. So this may well be the AoSification of 40K. Or the 40Kification of AoS, depending how you look at it.

Still amazing looking models tho.

That Necron image is hard to make out... but that thing with wings in the centre, could be the Void Dragon. Which would mean a big shake up for the IoM, seeing how it is (was) on Mars.

Could also be a generic plastic C'tan. But the wings do point towards VD, yea.

Hmmm. No sound. Is that just me?

Also, no Void Dragon. Just ‘The Dragon’. Apologies, pet peeve.

I like most of the new marine models. The new logo.... Not so much.

Honestly, the new Marines just make me feel like Shrike(the only other Primarisified Chapter Master model that I can immediately think of) not getting a bodyguard unit was even more of a big missed opportunity.
