Which primarch is next? Or will it be two?

No one will simply rule the dark Imperium, travel and communication is too rough for solid control, so the lion won't be able to control more than a few sectors. That's the way it should be. You have the Imperium on Terra's side and Ultramar as the Eastern Roman Empire, relatively solid and trying to do reconquests (as seen by the I Crusade), and you've got the dark Imperium, everything on the other side of the CM, which is the collapsing western empire and the kingdoms that are unified by religion and former rule, but at best has minimal control of its territory.

The rock and ultramarine are both left (west?) side of the CM.

Fenris is up north right in the middle of it and BA are right (east) of it. Both The Rock and Ultramarine can travel to Terra. BA and maybe SW will have a hard time.

I saw yet another rumor, this time for the Lion, and thought "How many Primarchs are in this :censored: rumor mill?"

 

I have included a poll where anyone can submit their choice, mostly for my own curiosity. At this point I have no idea, and I'm torn between the Lion, Dorn and Fulgrim.

My cousins neighbours dogs sisters uncles hamster on the wifes side of the family three times removed who works for GW said the next Primarch is from one of the lost legions. This is totes true because it just is. ;)

Can’t argue with that. That hamster knows his stuff. Apparently he goes to the same pub as Gav Thorpes mechanical Hamster.

 

To address the OP question - Two seems unlikely. I could maybe see FW and GW releasing a Primarch each in a relatively short space of time but not too close together. That creates too much competition for our money.

I think the Lion and the Wolf will be the next Loyalists released, but I don’t think it will be soon, or very close together.

A radical inquisitor tries to revive the Emperor by getting him a new body to act as a vessel for his soul ( or a fragment of it ).The only body that he deems is powerful enough to hold the Emperor is the body of Sanguinius but although they fail to bring the Emperor proper back they manage to get a shard of the Emperors unyielding fury in the form of the soul of Ferrus inside the body of Sanguinius.

 

The Blood Angels and Iron Hands don't know what to do and Fulgrim blows a fuse. Ferrus stands as a becon of light in the vast darkness that is Imperium Nihilius

Still better than some 40K fan fiction and official work....

Guys, why the speculation?

 

The next primarchs are Fulgrim, Russ, and Angron, though I do not know in which order. This was leaked by over a year ago by 75hastings69, in the same warofsigmar post that he leaked primaris marines - https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1132#comment-2878619003.

 

This also ties to the rumored Khorne and Slaanesh models to be released next year. He spoke about it a few days ago - https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/2513#comment-3593088758

Because Hastings is good but not perfect. And because he says he is looking forward to them, not that they are coming next. And I might have missed it, but I didn’t see Fulgrim mentioned in either of those threads. Just “S”.

 

So we speculate.

If there are 40k releases for Khorne then Angron is very likely, and a World Eaters release would probably be more like Thousand Sons than DG anyway in terms of scope which would fit the bill nicely. It also ties in with the long running tradition of ensuring that Slaanesh gets shafted both in and out of the universe.

I would actually love for the Lion just to show up. No rumors, no leaks.

 

BAM up for order, not even a preorder.

 

If he did it, he would be in fact Alpharius. 

 

So far, Rumour engines make think to the Lion or Rogal Dorn (eagle). But I don't believe we will have another primarch this year. 

We already had three this year, GW has to keep some stock for 2018.

Ah my bad, I remeber him mentoning Fulgrim somewhere, but it might be my memory playing tricks on me... Perhaps it was this? http://disq.us/p/1gtx5t0

But that seems to suggest he confused Fulrgim with Angron... Or maybe I somehow mixed Fulgrim in after reading current rumors on faeit about Fulgrim and Russ being next?

Nevermind

 

However I would still suggest "looking forward" means "they are coming" in that context. Especially when he was right on so many things in that thread.

 

For me, the questions is, how many primarch we will see in a year? My guess would be 2 or less, as this is what GW did previously.

 

And since Angron and Russ was mentioned (as well as some ork models) by hastings, my guess would be prehaps warzone -  Armageddon campaign the next year?

Armageddon makes a lot of sense. My personal bet is that Orks are the next release with actual model support for 40K. And World Eaters and/or Space Wolves, with or without Primarchs, would tie into that nicely.

Of the two Primarchs, I’d bet on Angron over Russ though. GW does love Khorne.

I'd rather see a Armageddon campaing bring us

 

Angron

Dorn or Vulkan

Prime ork Ghaz

So this is a BoLS rumor (so I will not make it its own thread) so obviously SALT EVERYWHERE, but for those who don't check that site but still may find this interesting.

Things to note;

 

-New Gathering Storm-like book

-New Triumvirate box

-Box includes the Lion, an existing Blood Angel, and another character

 

It's probably just someone wishlisting as another source told Faeit that no the Lion isn't next, and that instead expect Leman Russ.

 

Still if the Lion was coming, this is how I would do it. (another reason to discount it, completely predictable)

I am going to take 3 rumors to make an argument.

 

1. The primarch releases appear to be every 5-6 months. This means around Feb-Mar.

 

2. Hastings said "he looks forward to Leman Russ", Fulgrim, Angron. This makes me believe Leman Russ is coming and since we have 2 traitors and 1 loyalist...

 

3. Another rumor said SW codex would be one of the last Codex and expect it after a xeno-heavy start in 2018. Well since we are pretty much caught up with most Imperium and Chaos, Xenos are most likely next.

 

 

So next primarch will be loyalist in Feb-Mar. Leman Russ is supposed to be one of the next primarchs. SW codex will launch around March of the keep the codex pace up. Next loyalist around March, SW codex around March, Leman Russ one of the next Primarchs.

 

 

Not saying Russ is the best choice, but rumors point to him. Lion would be a fantastic choice imo, and better than Russ.

Ya, so my guess for a schedule is

(based off of rumors loose conjecture)

 

jan-feb:

SoB

 

Feb - march:

Tau

 

March-April

Tsons missing models

then (flip of fenris saga)

Wolves and RUSS

 

Summer:

ARMAGEDDON

ORKS

IG

tease for khorne

 

fall

Fulgrim

Slaanesh

After seeing some of the release rumors and the Chapter approved highlights floating around, I'm thinking Russ will make a come back when the Wolves and 1K sons come, some narrative of Russ and Magnus blah blah blah both have problems with mutation.

​Sadly it probably means the Lion is on the shelf for the foreseeable future, I just can't see them popping him out until some warzone supplement codex.

Ferrus. Was. An. Idiot.

 

There. I said it.

 

He was beloved by all other Primarchs though apparently. Although why will always baffle me.

 

 

 

Ferrus. Was. An. Idiot.

 

There. I said it.

You. Need. To. Provide. Points. Not. Bullet. Points.

 

There, I dismissed it.

He was rubbish in solo combat.

 

He ran off with no support.

 

He got his head removed by letting anger cloud his judgement.

 

Idiot.

 

When you have Vulkan who can do all the smithing that Ferrus does but on a better scale (lol, dragon joke) Ferrus is nothing original or special.

 

When Angron is angry. Ferrus’s anger is nothing special.

 

I think that you're forgetting something very important.

 

Ferrus was never the strongest, the best leader, a good dueler. He wasn't a psyker like Magnus, his legion was relatively conventional unlike Alpharius. When compared to his brothers, Ferrus just seems...ordinary. And that's the writer's intention.

Ferrus is the human primarch. In this galaxy of demigods and eldritch beings, of crusades and daemons, of lost technology and barbaric practices, Ferrus is a reminder that the Primarchs can be betrayed. They can feel anger, and loss, and hardship. The primarchs are ultimately flawed beings, and Ferrus reminds us of this. 

 

At least, that's my take.

If I may speculate...

 

We won't see The Lion until Forge World releases theirs. Same goes for the rest of the Loyalist primarchs, which means either Russ, Corax or Vulkan would be more likely next. I'd say Russ, as another Primarch for C:SM would step on Guilliman's toes and really annoy the players of non-codex chapters.

 

I also do not expect Emperor's Children or World Eaters to get their own codex until after all the current armies are updated. They have rules in the very recent Chaos Marine codex. Unless said codex gets redone without those two legions (again, annoying the CSM players), I bet Fulgrim and Angron would just get added in.

 

I have no proof for any of this...just going off recent releases and trying to put 2 and 2 together and not get 5.
