DeadFingers Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Eldar/Ynnari Vs. Slaanesh/Emperor's Children hype, anyone? Sounds ominous, right? The Aeldari have been battling their doom ever since the birth of Slaanesh. Could things be about to get even worse? Does the awakening of Ynnead offer hope of salvation to a dwindling race or will it be their final death knell? So many questions, but not enough answers – yet… Edited September 9, 2019 by DeadFingers Marshal Loss, betrayer41 and Filkarion 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357547-pyschic-awakening-speculation/page/13/#findComment-5384788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that they could make an appearance after the fact. First the Ynnari will make their move during the campaign, which will force Slaanesh's hand, and after Daemons by themselves fail to put an end to them, Fulgrim brings in the big (sonic) guns.

I totally get that, but it just seems a bit...much for one release. The first installment seems to be an Eldar-driven event, and if they do Fulgrim & friends simultaneously that will totally take over and dominate the release. A Primarch coming back is a big deal. If anything Slaaneshi came out with Part I then I think Triszin would be on the money, just a character and/or Noise Marines, something along those lines, but even that feels very unlikely to me.

Panzer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I honestly don't see how anything Slaanesh or EC related in this narrative could be worse than the birth of Slaanesh and the fall of the Eldar itself.

DeadFingers Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well, it's just the standard ominous "everything is terrible and it's only gonna get worse" doomsaying that prophecies tend to wrapped in. Although if things went horribly wrong, they could end up all dead and eaten by Slaanesh, so that'd be pretty bad. It's not what's gonna happen by a long shot, but I imagine for an Eldar seer, it's a plausible future.

Sete Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I repeat: I misread the french rumour. After all french is not my forté. He did say BT book is coming after, but he did not specify that it was a psy awakening book or a supplement. The fact that BT has a tab is great news.(well for BT players).

Red_Shift Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I think GW May lean into the meme. We know that sisters are coming in November. We know there is an aeronautica release in November. I predict Lionel Johnson returning with a plastic thunderhawk for aeronautica as the ultimate counter to the Facebook comments they have had for the last couple of years!

Closet Skeleton Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Vigilus book one had Haarken and Marneus so I don't see why this release should be pure Eldar like Vigilus two was pure Chaos. A new Lucius or Noise Marine kit would be more likely than a big Emperor's Children release. If it was just Banshees it would be a new Eldar codex since they need one to be honest.

Jerethdatiger Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Speculate wildly you say. Well the eldar are doomed so there gonna get pounded and lose most there craft wolds and dark eldar and eldar will rejoin one. And a faction will join the imperium to survive. Black templars will fall to chaos. Cause we need a chapter to fall to either khorne or slannesh But when one fall another rises and the thousand sons will forsake chaos and return to the emperors light. And get new living marines in the form of primaris Blood angels get mostly eaten by nids and necrons fight nids to a stalemate. Dante doesn't take the rubicon but mephiston does and dies.

Dark Shepherd Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just me or are psychic powers trending downwards in terms of warpcharge value?

Panzer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Powers with high warpcharge value are kinda bad for the game after all. Paying points to gamble on a huge effect is just not very desirable compared to having more reliable medium effects.

Slasher956 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Feel free to speculate wildly! Well let's get it on then! I'm already a heretic so it's fine. So here's a question for all of you loyalist folks. I was looking through GW's site to look at some of the Chapter-specific characters (particularly Vulkan He'stan because I think the flamer Rumour Engine might belong to him) and I noticed this. This wasn't like this before, right? Or am I hallucinating? This is particularly important due to this rumour. Also taking this opportunity to summon Sete by quoting because I imagine this is particularly relevant to his interests. According to Kikassou on the French Forum BT in Book 2 of Psy awakening, he clearly said it, and Assault doctrine auto wound on a hit of 6 in CC the chapters where sub catergories of the Space Marine entry before (a couple of months ago when I last looked)... they've just moved them up a level to be more eye catching. Wonder if they've fixed the who's a member of which chapters issue they had???

And they want to sell character models to deny them as well as cast them :) Its a good trend though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357547-pyschic-awakening-speculation/page/13/#findComment-5385473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Vengis Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Wild speculation...hmm I'll give it another go.... The game is going to undergo a name change. It will no longer be known as "Warhammer 40,000". Ladies and gentlemen i present to you "40K". Get ready to throw out all those old and out dated, ugly and impossibly proportioned Space Marines of your granddad. We've got the all new, all cool, all totally awesome Primaris. They're going to bring the awesome of humanity to its enemies in ways those old models just couldn't. They're edgy, they're cool, they're prime. They're humanity's true saviors. Also coming soon in our newest expansion "Psychic Awakening" you the players will get what you've always needed and wanted even if you didn't know it was what you wanted "WarpCrates". Now you can go online during your games and purchase "WarpCrates". "WarpCrates" will allow you to bring the fight to your enemies in an infinite number of ways. For a nominal fee each WarpCrate you purchase will give your army boosts on the battlefield in the form of extra units, incredible new powers or even the chance to remove enemy units from play. Also we've joined up with Mountain Dew to bring you the limited edition Primaris Energy drink. Now you can feel the rush of "40K" like never before. Chug down one of three flavors, Mountain Dew "Primaris", Mountain Dew "Ynnead" and Mountain Dew "Hereticus". Vote online for your favorite and see it become a permanent member of the Mountain Dew energy drink family. (Mountain Dew "primaris", "ynnead" and "hereticus" only sold official Warhammer Stores.) --- Yep, we live in this world now...

Brother Casman Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Let's keep it focused on (semi-)plausible outcomes for Psychic Awakening, eh? "WarpCrates" and Mountain Dew flavours aren't even in the realm of possibility.

So then Campaign 2 should be Sisters and Black Templars somewhere in the Segmentum Solar, between Terra and Armageddon. Those two teaming up and the general location of the scuffle make it sound very believable. The question in that case is... who are they fighting?

Sete Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hold my tin foil hat. Do we have any location of Ophilia VII on any maps? Im sure I have seen that name around, and its a shrine world. Helbrecth did send Crusades to protect the shrine worlds from Word Bearers. So chaos.

Brother Casman Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looks like Ophelia VII is in the Segmentum Tempestus - but is fairly close to Segmentum Solar.
