Yeah. Like most 9th edition covers so far, it doesn't particularly make me want to crusade. More just point and laugh.
The centerpiece guy is egregiously mis-proportioned, though.

Well spotted.
New Gravis flamer unit? Or a Helblaster equivalent, but with 3 flavours of flamer?
Hopefully, if true, not BT specific.

Crushing Black Templar Crusader Pilot
|
Man, I'm so nervous about this. I've waited since the beginning of me being in this hobby for any kind of lovin' for the Templars and... ...like I guess I'm cautiously optimistic about an upgrade sprue/transfers? Templars don't have any transfers available RN, other than on the 30k fists one, which is less than ideal, and as much as I love the current plastic upgrade (I'd love if GW could just stop retiring things), I think some new bits in crisper cut plastic would be great too (and rather selfishly I have plenty of the current bits in my bits box). But at the same time, while part of me was looking forward to de-embiggening some primaris marines into proper marines, the Emperor's Champion(I'd maybe??? steal the head, and the hands, but there's nothing else really there that's enviable, he doesn't even have purity seals)? This codex cover with bikeshorts chaplain-helmets-but-not-chaplains as neophytes? Sword Brother Giraffe-stein-ius? It doesn't fill me with a ton of confidence about how they're gonna treat my boys, the best chapter in 40k. I want, with like, 6? 7? years of longing, for this to be a banging release, to see some kickass new bits and details, maybe a new character, and lord knows how much I wanted for a unique unit, or for Sword Brethren to be a thing other than just "here's a box of squad leaders have fun", or a way to make scouts and neophytes a bit less visually dry and more medieval. I fear that after all my waiting, I might be left high and dry, and that sucks man. GW, please prove me wrong.

If you don't like Primaris and think of this release as a means of getting new bits, I expect there won't be much point in any of the actual kits for you. They'll be all Primaris with steep price tags. Might be cool stuff in there, but you'll probably be looking at bits sellers here. Considering Templars will have access to the regular Primaris kits, I hope there will be an upgrade sprue for them like other chapters have in addition to their unique units, though. Would be weird if there wasn't unless Crusaders/Sword Brethren have extra bits in the kits that are meant to be used for other models. I could see GW do that, as they may believe locking shoulder pads in more expensive kits might make them more money. We'll see soon enough, I guess.
On the bright side, I don't think the codex cover art has any bearing on the quality of the models, so there's that.

Not a whole lot, I think. Someone said Cap'n Longneck also has scrawny arms, and posermcbogus doesn't seem to be a fan of Phobos armor for Neophytes. I don't remember anything else standing out.

So it seems that the rumours about the new flamer and more importantly the dedicated primaris crusader kit were true. Probably the rest is true as well then. Too bad they didn't show any more models. How long they're gonna drag this out?

On one hand, it sucks that it's a BT-only thing.
But on the other hand, it's good because it means that we don't have a weird situation where there's a Marine unit not in the Marine Codex, necessitating a whole series of slow updates to all the other armies (ala the Psychic Awakening books, that contained tons of reprints of just the same Datasheets for each flavour of Marines).
