Discussion on the new C:SM & Possible BT supplement

[Sete]

Abhor the Witch, Destroy the Witch.

[Smirnov]

That's a valid point, but as far as identity goes, not having librarians is as much part of what we are as not having whirlwinds, scouts and devastators. We do have those now and it seems ok. On the other hand, DO having crusader squads is as much part of our identity and I see people not picking them up in lists. That's where we should scream murder

 

Fluff-wise adhering to codex (having combat squads, codex doctrine) is a much more serious issue than banning librarium. I'd say out of all those thing being a psyker-hating chapter is the worst identity that we can have. Our identity should be relentlees crusaders bringing emperors light and not of jerks who kill their navigators after every warp jump (as these witches were obviously trying to sacrifice us to dark gods by bringing the ship into immaterium, hur hur).

I'm not taking crusaders right now because they cost more than tacticals.

[Smirnov]

And that's ok, I mean I would probably do the same, so what we have to campaign (or crusade :D ) for, in my opinion, is getting crusaders cost as much as tacticals

[Medjugorje]

okay. Nothing new for us. Except that every faction should get something they said. So it will be that we are in the IF Supplement as expect and get a few rules in that kampange book

[Marshal Vespasian]

Lets see. They said 'first marines need to get some reinforcements' so maybe they finish our Release before sisters drop in Novembre? Pretty please?

 

That being said most stuff shown looks very good. Shrike though.... Ugh.

Wonder if any of our units are going to get put into the Warhammer Legends rulebook?

[balordazul]

Well thank god we did not get that South Park EMO kid that visits Hot Topic style hair cut on our characters.  

 

I call this a win for BT. 

[Medjugorje]

Good eye so long as that is not the other Primaris something silvery and black Templar thing I saw a while back.  But it does look like BT.

 

 

Edit: Also :07 you can see two ships with the cross also two in the :40

 

Awesome eye Medjugorje!

From the N&R thread:

 

Wild, reckless, terrifying speculation based on Sisters releasing, a Black Templar fleet in the Psychic Awakening video and the guesses that this means Endless Spells in space:

 

The Black Templars and Sisters worship the Emperor as a god - this comes to be true, and the awakening of psychic humanity gives rise to the summoning and of Loyalist/Imperial Daemons, so the Sisters summon Saints and Geminae Superia, and Templars summon Legion of the Damned as manifestations of the Emperor’s will. If the end of Master of Mankind is anything to go by, down the line we get Legion of the Damned Ferrus Mannus as an Imperial Daemon Primarch.

 

/tinfoil hat

[redmapa]

I would absolutely love some new Legion models. I am very intrigued as to what this new campaign series will entail, if it develops the Dark Imperium and the new status quo then Im all for it.

[Acebaur]

What's the big deal with Lbrarians though? We started worshiping Emperor as god out of the blue, so getting psykers would not be that much of a stretch

I mean, I'm all for keeping old fluff, but of all possible hills to die on librarians are close to last in my book

 

I'm gonna pretend, I didn't read this. 

 

No, Just.... No

[Marshal Reinhard]

Is that the eternal crusader, or just a strike cruiser? Hard to tell scale really, but all the other ships would have to be MASSIVE if it was right? So odds are its just a fleet of strike cruisers or similiar? 

[Ciler]

haha^^

Clearly we are getting squatted !

 

hype zeal building up !

[Sete]

Just a teaser as expected. ;)

[kombatwombat]

I mean, theoretically, it could be the entire Chapter mustering...

 

...and then destroyed.

 

Boom, squatted ;)

[Marshal Reinhard]

Jokes aside, I feel that it's very much a "hang in there!" signal to us.

 

Maybe we aren't getting a proper supplement like the first foundings, but we'll feature majorly in some campaign books/boxes to come?

Edited August 29, 2019 by Reinhard

[Sword Brother Adelard]

I still think we'll get a supplement. (Or be in one at least.) Faith Brothers.

[Ciler]

Jokes aside, I feel that it's very much a "hang in there!" signal to us.

That's also my feeling. Perhaps simply because we are not a "priority" in so far as they want to release all the 1st founding chapters first which - staggered with AoS and other releases - may push us back by quite a bit.

 

On a side note, I was discussing those rumours with the manager of my local GW. He didn't confirm or deny anything - he doesn't know what's coming, they've been kept fairly in the dark on the release schedule themselves it seems - but his opinion (again emphasis on opinion) is that there should be a Templar supplement because it is simply one of the most popular chapters around (along with ultramarines, wolves, BA and DA) and it would be a ludicrous choice not to capitalise on that from a plain and simple business perspective.

[Marshal Reinhard]

It could be that we have a supplement that will come much later than the rest? I mean, Imagine the outcry if all the first founding supplements would drop, we're not present in the IF one, and there hasn't been mentions of more supplements. There would be some who would legit leave the hobby. I think this is basicly just letting us know there is *something* coming.

[Ciler]

haha^^

For people without youtube access :

[Marshal Reinhard]

Only ship with identifiable markings I think(?), and shown throughout the entire video.

 

Is it the Crusader or no? There's not enough other similiarly large vessels about, for this to be the case, or is there?

[Sword Brother Adelard]

The Crusader would be MASSIVE even more so since the retcon to create the Gloriana class in HH. Unless they're all Gloria as, I don't think we've seen it yet.

 

I also don't think GW have ever shown an image of any of the Glorianas, the optimist in me believes that's because they'll one day feature in a HH set version of BFG, and they're waiting for that to release the ships.

[Sete]

I think its an Inquisitorial Ship being escorted by the BT.
