Seems a bit light for 40k no?

Space marines + "what's next" in the form of silhouettes.

With only 2 40k videos that pretty much rules out getting the marine reveals on par with the tyranid ones.

Yeah but each unit gets its own video usually so unless the entire 40k part of the reveal is just multipart Terminators and nothing else for Marines despite it being the next Codex, I'd be surprised, to say the least.

Depends how much the multipart kit version of the Terminators and Incinerators demands their own video. Or if it will be - here's the full version of those squads with a focus more on say the Assault terminators alternative kit.

Second vid then being scouts and transport.

Not how GW rolls when it comes to reveals though.
Unless it's a dual kit, each unit gets a video.
For Nids it was 5 vids (Gaunts + Gants, Stealers, Lictors, Vores, Norns)

I wouldn't be surprised if the Space Marine video is a longer reveal of all upcoming releases and then they'll talk about the individual units with pictures. The 2nd video is probably whatever is next - Necrons or AdMeach. I was a bit surprised by the number but I've double checked and it's currently 2 hidden. Nids got a full reveal show to themselves but SM have to share the time.

I don't think they have time to draw it out, I suspect it'll be a "here's the new stuff one after the other" video, a bit of waffle and some new stills. I think they did the same thing for the chaos marine release iirc.

Oh well, guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

For those watching, I hope it's enjoyable and you get to see something you'd been hoping for.

They gave nids a full hour was it? Or was it 45mins? Which is half of this full reveal I think, so there's 0 chance every marine unit would get its own video.

Might be video 2 is a Big Box for AdMech v Necrons?

If it is, that means it's very likely just to be a pity hero for each.

Unless it is a long ass video, I believe everyone hoping solid info on the Old World will be disappointed again.

I'm perfectly happy to just read the WarCom articles with my morning coffee

Or it could be a hero and a unit, ala Eldritch Omens.

More I think about it, it's definitely going to be a bit of a teaser for the marines, with more hype and reveals ahead of the new book rather than a "here is everything at once" thing.

We're three weeks away I guess from it? So something now, something next monday with things then building up from that for the pre-order?

Judging from the video count, I roll with my prediction:

AoS - remaining Ironjawz models (1 video for each)

40k - 1 video multipart Terminators, 2nd video maybe a Terminator Chaplain? Or Assault Terminators?

ToW - another Brets or Tomb Kings character, maybe related to the leaked Pegasus Knight sprue

Warcry - the next warband (as per road map)

Underworlds - the next big box with two warbands (as per road map)

Horus Heresy - maybe 1 video for Deredeo, 1 video for MkIII, 1 video for the rumoured big box? Or 1 video for the next Cerastus variant?

Bloodbowl - another star player or next team

If I recall correctly last, when 2nd edition Space Hulk was released both the Terminators and the Genestealers had recently got updated models. The Terminators were all new, whereas the Genestealers had a new set of arms.

Genestealers had a new body as well. In Germany, the Terminators first were Space Hulk exclusive, they sold them later in an own box. Of course the box price for 5 was 50DM - with Space Hulk for 99DM you got ten of them plus 20 Genestealers and a full game...

Well I’m awake now, so I’ll continue on an hour.
Where are we watching, twitch? Or just on warcom website?

Twitch in about 20 mins for me.

Wonder why the countdown didn't end when the stream actually began?

Apparently a primarch will be shown off. Are we thinking FW Dorn, since we got Horus?

Yeah, countdown was off by about 5 minutes. Stream is running now with the "Starting Soon" screen.

Edit: and quiz is running now.

Just had an email with the subheading "Space Marines, Ironjawz, a Primarch, and more!" with silhouettes, one looking very slaanesh

Seems like we're gonna get the style of jump pack Primaris marines as seen in the Space Marine 2 footage.

I think you're right. I thought it was some big bloodbowl dude lol

It was off by 30 mins for me. No idea.

Well, Terminators + Captain and Chaplain. Okay. The Primaris Jump Packs look rather nice.

Not much talk. Now Sternguard and a Command Squad. Well, look okay, but I'm not that much interested in Space Marines.

The Primaris assault marines are just another example of how poorly the primaris marines were introduced. GW could have just primarisized all of the standard space marine units, got a bunch of cool models, and retired the old stuff.

Edit: And now the command squad! Same thing. And Terminators, and Veterans.

Battle-toy tacti-cool primaris were a bad idea.

Edit edit: AND SCOUTS! Are GW just going to retcon primaris out entirely?

Scouts look okay. And they don't look like Wayne Rooney clones.

OOOH that troggoth king was teased in that grimhold exile short story
