I suspect Necrons then SM then probably a month of DW, DA, Furries and Roid Junkies being turned into suppliments as GW has to be sick of the mess of primaris all thes snowflake chapters are making.
That's probably enough to take it out to Christmas if they ever actually release the new FW books to the public.
Next year probably yet more Primaris and hopefully somemore of the Failcast models finally get swapped out for sculpts that can't drink in the entire world.

Subject: 40k preview, May 23-9th edition, new Necrons, Marines
General Kroll wrote: So what do we all think the first codexes that are out will be?
Marines, Necrons, then Guard.
People seem to have missed that Guard were in the big trailer. Not just that, a female Guardsman with slight design differences. I think that I heard them say that everything in the trailer was getting a model release too, and the Cadian kits are rather old by now...
I wouldn't read that deep into it. Guard were just there to make the Necrons look threatening and show how much more 'badass' the Sisters/Marines are.
Marines -> Necrons -> Deathwatch -> Death Guard -> Talons of the Emperor is my guess.
Death Guard being forth wouldn't be a huge shock since they've the oldest 'dex and the Rumour Engines point to another wave for them, as well as a few of their Dark Imperium models now being OOP. They could receive brand new sculpts or (more likely imo) their half get put into a Start Collecting(!).
Talons of the Emperor I think will land sooner rather than later just to properly bundle Custodes/Sisters together and enough time will have passed for the sales of War of the Spider to have dropped off. Who knows, maybe we'll even see a Sister HQ blister.

Sick? They get to release even more primaris. Any excuse to release another marine kit is yey for gw.

Except if they fold them into suppliments it's a simplified case of updating 1 codex instead of the current mess of 6+ FAQ and errata updates.
Then DW players complaining about why they don't get the latest Primaris OP hotness unit.

Less "soon after 9th", more "they would be one of the earlier books".

Dw gets them if shoulder pads fit and won't if don't.

Ynnari were the only force left out of the 9th ed. Faction Focus series. I think GW would rather people just forgot about them. Replace them with Craftworlds and the list seems plausible.

If by 'hotness' you mean 'pretty weak unit, but one actually fitting DW fluff unlike a lot of junk that was crammed in before with little though' then yes, we want """hotness""". Gee, I have no idea why DW players are upset they can't make good looking, fluffy army, when even furries, vampires and pajama boys, three chapters about furthest from using Vanguard on any possible tactic scale have unlimited access
tneva82 wrote: Dw gets them if shoulder pads fit and won't if don't.
This nonsense again?
Vanguard have the same pads as Reivers. Because, you know, they all wear the same armour mark (Phobos). Reivers, in case you missed last 4 years, are unit DW could field since the start of 8th. And even if that was not the case, left pad on Phobos is standard SM one anyway, so that's doubly wrong no matter what angle you look from.
tneva82 wrote: Otoh that book will mean plenty models going out of play and rest getting nerfbats.
Yes, a lot of OOP stuff will be going to legends, but some of the stuff that won't can't be nerfed much more. How do they nerf things that they've already made so expensive as to be practically unplayable?
There are an infinite number of positive integers.
I know we just got an entire new army release but...I still want some more Sisters stuff.
2 reasons beyond "because I play that army"
1. Even with the addition of mortifiers Zephyrim The triumph and the battle sanctum, the army still has a bunch of obvious holes in it. No flyer, no light vehicle, no cavalry equivalent, no heavy infantry, no centerpiece model.
2. The only possible way we'll see a new codex within the next year and a half is if they have a model release for it. I know our codex is both very new and pretty darn good, but goddam if I wouldn't love to not get our codex 4 months before the dnd of the edition for once. And that's literal btw, every edition Sisters of battle have had a codex release it's come out immediately before an edition change.

They get the contents of the box set which dont have separated pads on...

Not the Baneblade/Shadowsword/Stormsword?
I took that to mean directly copied since the plastic Banes and the full resin ones have a lot of design differences.

Yeah the superheavies were significantly changed when translated to plastic, so much so that the originals are actually the superior Mars-pattern in the fluff, with improved armour composition and systems.

Very true. When we were starting our IG army, my wife surprised me with a secondhand Shadowsword... and like an idiot it took me ages to figure out why mine was so different to the stock kit. It never even occurred to me that the unit had an older Forgeworld release.
TTT discussion. It looks as though their playtesting is for later codexes and yes, they also seem to think genestealers, Tau, Eldar, Orks, Necrons all got hosed with the initial points.
where they mention they were actually playtesting new codex makes me sure Chaos is in there.
Chef is a massive necrons player too and he was heavily involved so I imagine Necrons are coming too.
Good video that btw. They are very open about how the new points are not good, but they are adamant that future is bright, they just can't tell how long people may have to wait. Very open and honest about what is bad and what is good
edit: ninja'd!! lol

You can flex on people that yours is a true STC Mars version. The list of improved systems is rather lengthy.

People should really listen to this ^^^^
Also, people need to realise the GW does not think in the same timescale as the playing community, they are a business and cannot swing stuff around quickly, SOON for GW means upto 6-months.

That's not what they said. The article on WarCom only states that DW will get the Indomitus-Miniatures. Sadly, no words about everything else that is missing in between (like the Vanguards).
On the other hand I am curious about where the upgraded models have been shown? Do you have a link?
