I see what they did there - be funny if that's the only Lion we get tonight!

Spoiler:

Confirmation of Celestial Lions in the 10th Ed box set...? Can't see what else it could be.

The first and therefore besterest Primarch is coming back!

Abaddon is gonna get such a paddling!

Speaking of Youtube videos

Horus Heresy has 2 hidden videos
AoS has 4
Killteam 1
Underworlds 1
40K has only 1 under the current 40K playlist

Chances are Dante was going to be revealed, so now 40k only gets one reveal.

It's weirdly specific "generic Space Marine art" if that's the case.

Yup

For as much as I have no interest in 40k as a whole any more, I'm quietly excited about what treatment they'll give the Lion. Where once it would have been a make-or-break situation for me, now what they do with him lore-wise also doesn't bother me anymore as they jumped the shark ages ago on that account. But what I would like to see though, is that he wakes up and is pissed off. Where as Guilliman returned and set about putting the Imperium to rights, I want the Lion to just get up and start working his way through the list of names who need a proper spanking.
No talk. No bureaucracy. Just action.

We already have the MOST generic Primarch running around, might as well bring back the second most generic Primarch as well.

Its going to be a Stormcast, encouraging us to stop playing 40K and switch to Age of Sigmar.

If it's an AoS creature, then I think you mean a Pridemane Roarclaw.

That...has a ring to it!

Thanks! I figured it was likely there.

Still a weird piece to use as "generic Space Marine art".

Uh, no. That’s roarclawors, and they are a new primaris unit.

Right, I'm hitting the sack. I hope its a knock out for all you staying up, and will catch you in the morning.

Emperor protects.

Shut up and take my exalt!

I'm excited about the (probable) reveal of The Lion, but I'm also wondering if they are gonna pull a "record scratch" bait-and-switch on us, like the reveal for the new Chaos Knights did. Honestly if we don't get the Lion at this point though, fans are gonna RIOT!

I hate how much I like that. GW mave missed a trick not hiring you to name gak.

Objectively the best though. My favourites are Ferrus, Sanguinius and Jaghatai Khan, but as far as competence goes it's really only those two (Gulliman, Johnson) that could have been alternate candidates for Warmaster (and hence best choice for Regent). Dorn a bit too one-dimensional, the rest of them various levels of deranged. Ignore the disinformation presented in the recent lore installment, Sanguinius lacks the desire which is a disqualifying factor (as seen in Unremembered Empire, the worst HH book I ever read all the way through). That's how my headcanon goes anyway.

/Edit - immediately after writing that little diatribe I went to YT and saw this clip, so I suppose I'm not completely alone in thinking along these lines https://youtube.com/shorts/lvNt17WKWi8?feature=share

Sorry if it's already been guessed but are we thinking Lion's the real 40k reveal tonight and the Terminators are a 'one more thing' teaser at the end for future whatever 10th Edition is?

I’d laugh so hard if they don’t even tease the lion. There’s a wolf beast in the new warcry set but I don’t know if that’ll be revealed

Dunno. I feel like staying up for the stream though, kind of looking forward to this reveal for the first time since Indomitus, moreso than the HH reveal even, no idea why. Primarch hype or tiredness I suppose. Sitting through 15 minutes of filler chat at this hour is not an option though, I'll catch it tomorrow instead.

Does anyone have a link for the stream? I've never watched something like this before so I have no idea where I would look.

They do the reveals on twitch. Usually last an hour or so.

I'll leave this here:

"Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to carry us to victory, and the wisdom to rule once victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's soul in his blood. Each of us carries part of our father within us, whether it is his hunger for battle, his psychic talent or his determination to succeed. Sanguinius holds it all. It should have been his..."

—Warmaster Horus praises his brother Primarch Sanguinius

If GW *really* wanted to blow minds, that's how they would do it.

My guesses, from left to right:

1. Kroxigor
2. Sigmarine from Warcry band.
3. Mr. El'Johnson.
4. Tzeentch Underworlds band.
5. Squig New Terminators.

OLD man Lion. I love it.

IT’S A BEAUTY!!!!

Yes please, Santa!

Lionel Johnson looks like an Angry Sean Connery in power armor. Epic as hell.

Lion

Such an old man!

Not the Lion Sword, and he has a shield, very cool.

Soooooo Girlyman didn’t age but the lion did? ?
