They do have to leave something for the 10th edition World Eater Codex. Due in 1Q 2023.

So 9e codex q3/4 22 and 10e q1 23 before 10e even been out? That would be new record even for gw

I love how that exclusive terminator has the chainsaw part of the fist as a middle finger.
Vintage GW humor for sure.

It really sells the "rage" part of Khorne

That's just what Chaos chainfists looked like in 2nd ed.

Love those old chaos termies. They always looked great.

Well, leaker on reddit has declared no new terminator unit of any kind, red butchers or otherwise. So the strikethrough returns to the list.

Incredibly disappointing.

I really hope he's incorrect

Because damn, that's just a slap in the face

I just realized something, it looks like GW at the time may have based the design of their Lord Zhufor, the legs and the rest reminds me of it.

Spoiler:

He is also one of thos characters I could see GW bring back in plastic for that new WE codex (but looking at the 2 other legions, GW doesn't seem to care to much about giving more than a primarch and posterboy to thos armies..).

I'm starting to think that we may at least get a proper terminator lord for the WE, and one that is in indomitus rather than cataphracii like the red butchers.

That's the benchmark fig I was mentally comparing the new warhammer+ exclusive fig to. It's not that I don't like the new one (it's ok to good) but rather that I don't have the nostalgia for the original art unlike for example the Mephiston classic art/figure.

Did Zhufor ever get one of those nice full page art painting pages for his character in any of the Vraks books like Inquisitor Rex did?

Dude, where's my Terminator armour?

INB4: Ibris/GW shills tell us it's good World Eaters get diversified by not having access to Terminator armour.

No Red Butchers? Why would they skip such an iconic unit in favor of other things?

Why are two thirds of every Thousand Sons box not Thousand Sons?
Why is there no Traitor Guard in the CSM Codex, despite GW saying they'll make a great addition and having a multipart plastic kit?
Why are Chainfists and Power Fists different things in the CSM Codex, if Accursed Weapons were meant to simplify things?
Why are Terminators limited in their weapon choice on what can they take in the box, but Havocs aren't?
Why is a Power Fist on a Terminator a Power Fist, but an Accursed Weapon on a Chosen?
Why can Sorcerers only have a staff, but Lords have access to a few weapon options, depsite the fact both of them only have a single monopose kit with no options?
Why can Bikers take an Icon despite not coming with one in the kit, but Terminators can't?
Why can't Haarken be used as a generic model, but Vex Machinator can, despite them both being Black Legion named characters?
Why is GW still selling the ancient Night Lords Chaos Lord with an illegal loadout?
Why are Accursed Cultists and Possessed still not out?

These are questions we might never know the answers to.

No World Eaters termies on release is a bit of a massive bummer. I have to say I'm disappointed that they gave Death Guard such a detailed and characterful fleshing out, but seem content to let Thousand Sons and now World Eaters somewhat languish as also-rans (model wise, Thousand Sons rules are great even if theres a shortage of options and most lists end up looking/feeling the same way). I had hoped that Thousand Sons would get the same treatment eventually, and in the meantime was expecting World Eaters to get a similar level of support to Death Guard as the template for what traitor legions *could* be. Its disappointing that GWs approach to making them a right proper army instead seems to be a box of resculpted traitor marines, a Primarch mini, a non-World Eaters character, and I assume a Khorngor-esque chaff type unit which may or may not involve a ganagbang of Bloodletters.

I wasn’t expecting the World Eaters to get quite as much as the DG (they got more because they were one of the starter factions that edition). But this is sounding pretty disappointing. I was hoping for somewhere in between TS and DG at least.

Yeah, it's strange. One of the last things he posted was [paraphrased]:
"It's not like the playtesters were leaking any information before GW kicked them to the curb..."

Which sounded to me like he might have been running to the end of his insider knowledge, but who knows now. Could be like what happened with the B&C leaker where they deleted their account once GW caught wind of who their man on the inside was.

I'm guessing they were found out or someone was on to them, etc. I would not be surprised if GW was providing distinctive info to different sources trying to figure out who was leaking and OK_E was found out, some of their recent rumors were... interesting, almost to the point of feeling a bit farfetched or outlandish in a way. Maybe that was GW providing intentionally fake rumors to suss them out and OK_E took the bait.

Because it's a cool old model, people dont have to use the current 40k rules or play games with it

Right so not only ‘no model, no rules’ we’re now on ‘model, no rules’. Cool.

And simultenously "no model, rules" with the Chaos Lord.

There is no way they release the army without Terminators.
Especially after they have already made one for Warhammer+

They are not going to do all the CAD and molds then just release one promo model.

What do you mean? That's clearly a Chosen with Combi-Flamer and Accursed Weapon.

Well that's incredibly disappointing if true. I'm legit shocked that GW wouldn't do a Terminator unit for WE, even if the rest of the roster was lacking. Really surprised.

Id be surprisd if they don't, both Thousand Sons and Death Guard have had their own terminator models. I'm guessing we will see them, maybe not straight away but at some point

Yes, he just said no Terminator Lords and was commenting on paying 2CP for Red Butchers in the WD Index list.
We've seen that there are Terminators as Razor says.

Ngl, I would be SHOCKED if that turned out to be true.
It's literally the most well kown WE unit right after the berserker themselves.

As a Death Guard player, I'll take the Thousand Sons treatment any second of the century over the gak Death guard got.
They are the perfect example of what you get when you make sprues for a starter box without ANY concideration for what's supposed to come afterward.
The current state of the humble Plague Marine kit is downright insulting, the two main lords are at best fully monopose and without options or at worst literally NOT SOLD AT ALL because it's locked on a big sprue with other gak like some plague drones (GW could have been a bit smart and put that sprue in the starter box, but instead they decided to deliver the objectively worse starter box in all their system combinned), they just "forgot" to deliver the actual real complete kit for the blight haulers (yaknow, the one with other faceplates and different weapons) .
It's awful.
At least the thousand sons got a decent multipose and full of gear kit for both their marines and terminators, and even their HQ have some customization (mostly cosmetic, but still better than nothing) since you can swap around their bits between eachothers.

I honestly hope that the WE will be way more 1KS than DG by getting less kits, but kits that aren't total dog gak at least.

Where are the WE Terminators in this pic?

That said, thos things in the back are definitly the new chaff for the WE. I'd love if they were khorngors, but they look more like random humans.
