From what I can see the indexes are:
Imperium 1- space marines, blood angels, dark angels, space wolves, grey knights, deathwatch, legion of the damned
Imperium 2- Astra Militarum, Ad mech, Imperial knights, imperial agents, talons of the Emperor
Chaos- heretic astarties, chaos daemons, questor traitoris (I think)
Xenos 1- craftworlds, new dark eldar name, eldar with the Y name, harlequins, necrons
Xenos 2-orks, t'au, tyranids, gene cults
I'm getting all five.

Dem Nurgle models tho. That is really cool.
Not sure why it starts with "release 3rd!" when it later says "preorder 3rd, release 17th."
Edit, nah, I just didn't read it properly. It was "mark your calendars for the 3rd." no mention of it being released then.

Interested in hearing what these command dice are. What are those top 8ish dice? Odd symbols on them... interesting. Also, the combat gauge seems to be a total waste of a product. And also, everyone is getting codexes eventually it looks like. Just not at launch. Sort of make me want to hold off on buying the index.

Not a massive fan of the jump pack Primaris Marines but the Deathguard stuff looks pretty good. Could be quite an expensive box though, I guess.
Also, is this the first confirmation we've had that Tactical Objectives are still in the game? I can't remember them saying that elsewhere.
I hope the 5 Index books are logically divided up, especially on the Imperial side. I'd hate to have to buy both just to play 2 different types of Space Marines.

I'm guessing symbols for the different Command options to place beside a unit?

You can enlarge that pic on the community side. All SM are in one book, all other imperial factions in the other.

Yeah.
Drop Pod = Deepstrike / can't move this round?
Feet running = advancing/run?
3 Feet running = Falling back?
Half Marine helmet = not moved and in cover? +2 Save

So... Legion of the Banner = new Primaris only army? Legion of the Damned. Not banner. Also Imperium book 2 lists Adeptus Mechanicus. I would say thats confirmation that Skitari have been folded into the main army.

Huh? I thought the 'Dark Imperium' was the side cut off from the Astronomican... So why does a book titled 'Dark Imperium' feature Guilliman and the Smurfs?

Agree. I figured a "Dark Imperium" box set would be Blood Angles vs Nids.

I have to say though - I am really looking forward to hearing about the state of the half of the Imperium cut off from Terra. It gives GW a way to have a bit of brightness in Guilliman (plus whatever other Primarch joins him) running a successful enough crusade whilst making the other side more Grimdark than we've ever seen just to counter it. Then players that complain about 'too much Grimdark' and players who complain about 'imperium plot armour' BOTH get a bone thrown to them :-)

Click the image, read what it says on the book. It's a little smudgy, but clear enough.

I wonder if the faction list for each book is exhaustive.
It confirms that all Eldar factions still exist as their own, but Militarum Tempestus and KDK seem to have disappeared.

All the Eldar in one book is exactly what I was looking for. Will be getting that one, possibly even before the main rules. Shame there's no pricing yet.
The new models all look great, as do those objective markers. Hopefully some other armies get some new models to keep them in the forefront as well. I'm a little concerned we'll be seeing months of Primaris and maybe a couple of additional Death Guard guys.
Really like the sound of what's included in the Rulebook. Three Ways To Play sounds like an understatement, with the Death From Above and Apocalypse rules in the main book too. Nice to see all this condensation of the roughly 8700 books I was faced with when considering re-entering the hobby earlier this year.
