There is a rumour of Kill Team Votann vs Beastmen, which seems like utter nonsense for the final chapter of Gallowdark to me.

Any reason? Beastmen assumingly would represent chaos, who are the driving force behind the need to claim the arks/hulks.

I was hoping the name Gallowfall would imply a fall from grace. Both of them have fallen to the corruption of mutation. Just wanted a better tie in to Chaos and AoO.

Not saying it wouldn’t be cool for new beastmen, but what role could they fill that’s not already done by chaos cultist and traitor guardsmen?

I guess you could say the same about the Arbites and voidsmen though, so it’s a moot point

I know it will never happen but Emperor worshipping beastmen would raise my interest.

It has root in the old RT days. They way GW mines nostalgia, nothing is impossible.

But also, hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

They worship Him as the Great Shepherd, herding them into the great pens of His starships to be set upon the heretics.

Hmmm...an Order of the Sisters of Battle who lead the Redeemed Kindred into battle, pray for their souls, and teach them that while they have been cursed by the warp, their sins can be forgiven by sacrifice to The Emperor.

I knew it! The Emperor was Doctor Moreau all along!

I'm trying to find a single word in that sentence that isn't heresy but I'm coming up empty.

Given the potential implications of Kin Cloneskeins, it is entirely possible some Dr Moreau type did once create the Beastmen Abhuman species!

Give me EPIC or give me Death!

AFAIK it's canon that during the DAOT humanity went so far with gene-modding itself that 'baseline' humans were close to eradicated, and the Emperor had to reconstruct them in a fashion. That's also a finer point of the imperial anti-mutant and anti-transhuman stance: unique or 'boutique' gene-mods and surgical modification is generally considered no big deal and orthodox, but the line is drawn at making 'new men' that can reproduce independently, i.e. at permanently altering humanity.

Near the end of the Dron Primarch book echoes this when he offers to help undo the modifications on the Unseen.

Imperial Beastmen first turned up in Rogue Trader, and continued into 2nd Ed Epic Space Marine.

Even in the Grim Darkness of the far future, Harmony Gold holds undue influence.

They even snuck into 4th with expanded IG doctrines in a WhiteDwarf.

Sorry, I thought it would be easier if I used him instead of the first edition version he’s based on.

Post on Instagram for “2 days to go” features a wooden shield, with what looks to be a Sigmarite halo.

Guessing we’re getting more, possibly a full reveal, for Cities of Sigmar, or whatever it’s called. Dawnbringer Crusades.

Valrak said it would be a box reveal in one of his recent videos, he had no idea what it was but apparently someone dumped a Adepticon preview on him and he specifically mentioned that as his first AoS rumour ever.

The 'Sigmarite Halo' is three-quarters of the symbol of the Grand Alliance of Order:

That's likely to be Cities of Sigmar then.

So, they've taken down the https://warhammer40000.com/ website, saying "new site coming march 23rd"

Looks like they are changing the edition branding, so thats pretty much confirmation of 10th ed being annouced tomorrow

Which rumours mentioned new branding again?

Couldn't you use some of the FW rules to include them in 7th edition?

I don't really care if the new Beastmen team in Gallowfall is traitor or imperial, both models look more or less the same to me, just add spikes or aquilas and play em "counts as" in KT21. I've seen so many Firstborn loyalist Space Marine killteams played as "counts-as Legionary".

What I really want to know is what the next extra terrain sprue will contain, the Soulshackle ones were brilliant!

So we've had leaks for:

*40k (Dante)
*Warcry (SCE vs FEC)

Still a bit surprised the Lion hasn't leaked

Curiously, Warcry was not on the list of things that GW were planning to reveal at Adepticon.

I'm sure Dante was tho.

Well not every leak has to be about adepticon. Gw has more releases than adepticon lined up and things are produced well ahead. Quite likely warcry was lined up to be previewed in next event but somebody spoiled it ahead of time

One of Valraks sources mentioned that Dante wasn't slated for adepticon.

so, the latest teaser image is of a leather bond book with the Tzeentch symbol on the front, that is leaking a rainbow coloured glow.

I'm guessing this is linked to the rumoured Underworlds release.
