Hello brothers, as many of you may know there are whispers abound that the Lion himself may be returning, with primaris reinforcements for the Dark Angels alongside him. I didn’t see a topic on this here, and I wanted to hear your thoughts/concerns/opinions on the matter.

Hello all I have recently come to hear some interesting information pertaining to the year ahead. -10th edition is indeed coming this year, and apparently some information may come to light at Adepticon. -10th edition will be an evolution of the core rules of 9th edition, not a complete re-write. There are massive changes coming to the stratagem system. Streamlining and significant cutbacks - I heard mention of a dozen generic stratagems for use across all factions, and a single unique strat per army. (To me this sounds like the reaction system in 30k) -The Codex chapter supplements are not coming in 9th edition (Fists, Iron Hands, Ultras, etc). They were planned for 9th initially but will now be too close to 10th. Anyways, this all sounded plausible to me. I'm not sure how GW would plan on an evolution of the rules, whilst scrapping all stratagems from the 9th edition books. The unit rules across all faction have been gutted, and their abilities converted to strats. I don't even want to imagine the volume of FAQs and Errata. I made a joke that the codex Space Marine chapters are now the most neglected factions. If the above is true, chapters like the Ultramarines (historically attacked for receiving more support than others) would have been ignored for an entire edition of 40k - this is quite humorous.
