Honestly I'm a bit surprised they showed everyone that's coming soon except for BT even though our release is as soon as GK. I also wasn't expecting SW to be shown in full so soon, I wonder if this means our release might be more related to Vanilla marines, like an upgrade sprue for Vanguard Vets/Outriders or Assault Terminators.

Land Raiders are far too iconic to change in any meaningful way, they didn't dare to change Terminators and won't do it with LRs imo. I think that if a new kit does happen it might borrow certain designs from 30k like the enclosed gun turrets and just package more variants in one box, one sprue for Phobos/Redeemer/Crusader and then some other options like the Helios or Ares or even an option for a Command Land Raider in another box.

Sad to hear, he's an inspiration and easily one of the modern master of illustration so I hope he gets better and overcomes these hard times. My best wishes to him and his family, if I had money I would help.

Personally I welcome our new green poster boys, blue marines are so passè.

All these transfigured primarchs I'm surprised they haven't dared to make Lorgar transfigured yet, he even has rules!.

I would gladly take a weaker older codex that it's still useful for more than a year over buying a codex at the end of an edition only for it to become dead paperweight as soon as the new edition drops. I played Templars through 5th and some of 6th with a 4th ed codex, it was fine.

Just saw the leaks and the Mechanized detachment seems OK in my opinion, nothing that screams power but perhaps I'm missing something, I do like that it buffs everything that disembarkd so you can put Ogryns in Chimeras so they can get the +1 to wound buff and not just infantry squads. Hammer of the Emperor has a bit of a weird rule with 6" advance and being able to push through engage range it kind of wants you to push forward as all the strats are going to matter when you're in the thick of it, I'm not sure about it but I like the idea of an armored breakthrough.

Your eyes are fine, they are a max of 2 per squad unless it's a typo but I doubt it. Kind of sucks because I really wanted 18 Sentinels at some point, I'll just rejig 3 of 9 Sentinels as Scout Sentinels I guess.

Recon and Artillery sound like a ton of fun, can't wait to see what the Armored and Mechanized rules do, maybe an all Russ army will get it's time to shine!

I'm going to be THE OTHER GUY then, every chapter has historicaly getting their range expanded with every edition and sure Primaris has thrown that into whack of sorts because now it seems like GW wants to rein in the amount of unique units and old units are getting chopped BUT if SW are setting the new limits of unique updated units then it stands to reason we would also follow suit and get our range expanded to match theirs, perhaps not to their extent but something more than what we have now. Our update set the current trend, BA and DA followed us, we already have that level of update so why wouldn't we get a bit more if SW are getting more? GW always tried to keep the divergent chapters on par and we are no longer the red headed stepchild, plus unlike the other chapters our range was never expanded, we sat eating dust while SW/BA got massive updates in 5th and then DA in 6th and we kept eating mud when they all got something. Now being a bit more grounded I do think we are getting one thing only, a unit or a character perhaps BUT the possibility for more isn't so out there imo, specially if the rumors for a massive SW update do come true.

You know what character is sort of missing from the Primaris line? Company Champion, that's a great niche for a bike character and Vanilla chapters don't have that assassin type of unit like an Emperors Champion, make him a Lone Op around Outriders so he can be escorted and then thrown to kill enemy characters.

I can think of two possibilities if we are getting a unique chaplain, it could be a named character like BT Master of Sanctity getting a model so we can have a unique Terminator Chaplain OR we used to be able to give Cenobyte Servitors to our generic chaplains so perhaps an update to that idea could be a Company Heroes unit but with a Chaplain instead of a Captain, so some Sword Bros and a Servitor carrying a relic or something. We could also see the return of Chaplain Dreadnoughts, that'd be the dream.

I actually prefer this over the FW version, that's an impressive feat imo so congrats to the artists they really outdid themselves. He looks so full of character, it's a pose that lends itself to outrage, petty taunting or ready for a full force attack, love the horns too they're very Loki esque which is fitting for Fulgrim. I can already hear a thousand wallets scream in agonizing ecstasy.

No one knows anything, we are so far out there's not even rumors, there's a lot of possibilities and imo we are not getting much this edition as we are already up to date BUT wolves are getting a massive update apparently so we could get a bit more than one kit to be on par with SW, there's nothing concrete and unlike the other chapters our line was never truly developed so there's not a backlog of existing units waiting for an update. Maybe it'll be a new unit, a new character like Castellan Draco in plastic or our Master of Sanctity, maybe just an upgrade kit or new Terminators or our own version of a Command squad. Could be anything really.

Called it! Looks like a fun counter charge type of playstyle, as long as your un8ts are in packs your enemy will get punished for charging as a Dreadnought just jumps from nowhere to protect his little brothers.
