I like it. Abstract and weird, but cool. Pretty sure it's a tyranid hive fleet entering a system, which is also cool that nids get in the cover. Leans into my theory that they'll be getting a big push down the line, as the Silent King famously came back when he saw the nids and shat his pants.

I don't think it is a system. I think it is a representation of the organisation of the Imperium. When I saw it I thought of this picture:

And hilariously enough, its _still_ unclear if you can just buy a normal rulebook.
The article says you can get it in the boxed set (at least, a 'version' of it, whatever that means) or buy a limited edition copy.
It doesn't say if you can just buy just a normal copy by itself.
But hey, buy six box sets. Because limited and whatever...

They noted a while back that it would be launched when the pre-orders go live (i.e., next weekend) so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Warhammer Community article or Warhammer 40,000 Daily stream covering the app.

The picture of the Core book below the Indomitus box is the normal one with text on the cover and its listed in the price chart so we know it will be available at launch

Yeah you're probably right. I'm still seeing tyranid hive fleet on the back, or maybe just a vague representation of all the threats from outside.

From Warhammer Community:
A version of the Core Book is included in the Indomitus boxed set, making this a great tome to pick up if you’re splitting the set with a friend!
Seems perfectly clear to me that the book is being sold separately.

They noted a while back that it would be launched when the pre-orders go live (i.e., next weekend) so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Warhammer Community article or Warhammer 40,000 Daily stream covering the app.
I'm just wondering if they guy contracted to make the app gave an unrealistic time frame to launch and is now pounding monsters and having panic attacks because the app is buggy and doesn't do half of what was promised. So GW is just quietly not giving more info in case they have to bail on the launch. Because I feel like the app should have more hype to it, its kind of a big deal.

It's more than likely just the AoS app with a new coat of paint.

It's clearly intended that a 1+ save hit by a AP-4 weapons would require a 5+ to pass.
That's literally the opposite of the way that GW clarified that the same mechanic works in AoS.
And the way they clarified it working in 40K, too.

They have also ruled the other way too, with Necron Quantum Shielding and the Quantum Deflection stratagem, which applies a -1 to your roll. They ruled that a roll of 1 would ignore 1 damage, since the minus would make the roll a 0. So we'll see.

Spoiler:
Nah, it's Holy Terra and Mars in the centre, plus six other planets. Definitely the Sol System, although perhaps not a literal claim that there are presently Tyranids attacking it.

I mean, the AoS app isn't... amazing.
It's better than their last attempt and would at least be functional.

It does bring a bit of joy to see the Tyranid threat personified on the Book. It could be more representative of all the threats, but the art is very similar to all the representations of Tyranid Hive Fleet tendrils.
I wonder if it will come up later in the edition?

There's no rule that says I can't.

Yeah it could be something else than Tyranids, but this kind of depiction is how Tyranids hive fleet tendrils have always being depicted (that I've seen), so it's easy to assume! Also, since the Silent King kinda came back for/because of the Tyranids apparently, it's also another hint that this covert might represent the Tyranids. Will wait for a confirmation but so far it makes me happy
But special edition usually being double the price, might be a though buy anyway sadly.
Fantasy armies - Retired (Tomb Kings, Vampires, Empire, Chaos Warriors/Daemons, Dark Elves)
Tyranids army - Ever evolving, but about 10k pts
Custodes - 3,500pts (Fully painted yay!)
Thousand Sons - 4,000 pts
Eldar - 3,000pts
So Nids making a run at the "Sol System" fairly sure thats Terra Mars, satur and Jupitor with their respective moons.
That's a bold decision if thats where the story ia going for 10th edition.
Hive Fleet Hercual - 6760pts
2000 Khorne Bloodbound (Skullfiend Tribe- Aqshy)
1000 Tzeentch Arcanites (Pyrofane Cult - Hysh) in progress
2000 Slaves to Darkness (Ravagers)
