Correct me if I'm wrong, but on Deathwing Terminators the helmet and armor are the same color, correct? So we can rule out Dark Angels.

Blood Angels use gold for their veterans, right? So we can rule out Blood Angels.

Looks like a poster boy Ultramarine to me.

White helmet blue body is the Ultramarine terminator setup, and blue filtered through a yellow-orangeish lense would look deep-green to blackish.

It has the Ultramrine U on the shoulder.

Western Edge might also make it Leviathan vs Imperial Fists.

It does specify the transmission is from the Galaxy's Western Fringe, which isn't in the article.

Does that mean anything in particular Chapter-wise? Any current lore that would put anyone in particular between the Western Fringe and the Sol System?

Could just be proximity to Terra to explain why Tyranids are the big bad for 10th, I don't think the Terminator is light enough to be wearing Imperial Fist yellow, but the white helmet would fit.

Western fringe is definitely somewhat weird.

Sure, there are surviving elements of Hive Fleet Leviathan there now as well, but what would an Ultramarine be doing there?

Generic Mary Sue things.

Absolutely random toss-out, but Sons of Medusa Terminators have white helmets and green armor.

If these are just the SMH Terminators repacked in a boxset/board game, are we gonna riot?

Filter a blue through an orange lens and it looks green though.

Nah, because it still means something awesome is coming. There would be a wave of ner-ners from some people, which will be insufferable though.

Vigilus is on the other side of the galaxy to Ultramar. Poster faction gets sent wherever marketing says they need to be.

New Spacehulk then.

The same thing they do anywhere: stand around and look pretty for the camera.

That's an option we should not discount lightly, Space Hulk had been in huge demand on its last realease, and with all that AoO/Boarding Action and Gallowdark terrain you'd had to be stupid not to do something in that direction. A sneaky Space Hulk box would also be a nice reveal for e.g. Adepticon.

To be fair: Ultramarines, especially 1st company ones, have some pretty big grudges against the ‘nids.

Its going to be space wolves. I know this because that is how I will paint them.

You guys realise GW dont do chapter specific units these days, right.

Only for Sternguard and Vanguard Veterans (don't know about Primaris).

So not exactly confirmation.

There is still going to be a story attached to 10th and the release box in general. And the default color scheme for the box will reflect that.

I mean I am glad that it's not the third (fourth?) rehash of Nids vs BA, but still weird.

I am not wholly up to date with 9th lore, is UM vs DG in the Dominion still a thing, or did something change after the Bobby vs Morty fight?

Black Templars would heavily disagree with that - Space Wolves too, if we're allowing the Hounds of Morkai (I'm not sure either way on them, tbh).

Fayric: If you were discounting cosmetic packs or “alternative via unique color scheme like Death Company Intercessors”, I could see your point of view. More on the cosmetics not counting though.

If you were discounting named characters I could see your point of view, because we weren’t talking about named characters!

But they literally have a number of primaris units only for Black Templars. Plus the Krieg box for guard.

Acehilator: Nurgle forces pulled out of Ultramar because Nurgle wanted their might for the great game in the Warp. Mortarion is in the dog house because he not only disobeyed his redeployment orders, but failed at his task anyway.

That said I only remember the book mentioning Mortiarion’s army. Combined with the non-existent consistency of warp time, Nurgle forces could already be back at it in Ultramar.

Note that these events took place twelve years after the Indomitus crusade started (for anyone who remembers 100 years, they retconned some things about the first two books due to plot issues). And I don’t know when the Arks of Omen stuff takes place.

The image gives the impression it's a little taller than a terminator, which is neither here nor there really.

You know, the image looks very much like a marine helmet but Tyranid-like if that makes sense. Infested marines a-la StarCraft?

No? It just looks like a Terminator helmet.

I thought it was extremely obvious he meant the Tyranid part of the image.

However I think that's just a "nose" giving that impression in the pic, not a face grille.

Marine helmet from which terminator helmet reflects?

Not seeing it sorry. It depends on angles of vision and positions... and it's just an illustration with artistic errr liberties. For all we know it could be a ripper on a vent looking at a termi...
