Kierdale Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 @wh_jpn (the GW Japan) account just mentioned (in Japanese) that (roughly translated), a "Warhammer Japan formal project is being planned. Details are planned to be announced next week". That silhouette looks a lot like the termie captain from series II to me. the cherry blossom suggests a Spring release of...whatever it will be. :) Excited, anyway. I loved series I and II but didn't touch III as it was Nurgle-only (and hard to deNurgle). I hope IV, if that's what this is, is more generic.

Halandaar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 The silhouette is the Captain from Series 2, it's not a preview of a new model. Antarius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywrath Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Wonder whether it will be Dark Angels as the faction of choice this time around. Ultramarines were first, Blood Angels were second if memory serves. Also a bit of an interesting speculation, if series 1 was power armor, series 2 was terminator armor, does that make series 3 as primaris (god forbid)?

OttoVonAwesome Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Well it's clearly not space marine cherry blossom hybrid. Someone should look up the signifigance of cherry blossoms in japanese culture for more clues. BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShibeKing Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Cherry Blossoms bloom end of March beginning of April. Maybe we'll get the new release then. N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Judging by the clues, I think it’ll be a terminator version of this: Hidden Content :P Slave to Darkness and N1SB 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Blightlord Terminators would seem plausible, to mirror the PA > TDA progression of Series 1 & 2. But honestly i think they'll go back to loyalists. Assault Marines / Vanguard Veterans would give a good variety of loadouts to make the models feel unique.

lansalt Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) The cherry blossoms image also looks somewhat like a microscope view of a cell or bacteria, so I'd say this is going to be a release of Blightlords next spring. The sequence makes sense: Series 1: marines Series 2: terminators Series 3: DG plague marines Series 4: DG terminators The new Death Guard codex and the current few different Blightlord sculpts (only 8) would make these models very desirable.

Marshal Loss Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 More Blightlord sculpts would be absolutely fantastic! Won't get my hopes up though as I think they'll move away from DG. They're not the edition's flagship opponents anymore after all Iron Sage, Triszin, Halandaar and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not the edition's flagship opponents anymore after all True, but necrons don't exactly make sense either. I wouldn't be surprised if they did a Primaris series. That's pure guesswork though, and nothing much about that image suggests that's what they're doing. painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind more generic Chaos Marines or maybe Thousand Suns, but I could see them doing a Primaris set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antarius Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Whatever it is, it looks like a combi-melta in one hand and a purity seal on the other shoulder (rather than the silhouette of an arm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcomet Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Whatever it is, it looks like a combi-melta in one hand and a purity seal on the other shoulder (rather than the silhouette of an arm).

quasistellar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Maybe they'll do Xenos Heroes and release some sweet (and preposterously expensive) aspect warriors :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Guys, guys. The silhouette means nothing because it's already of a model that's available: Focus on the rest of the thing, not the silhouetted Terminator Captain from Series II :P Edited January 29, 2021 by Gederas quasistellar, Son of Carnelian and Kierdale 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Heck, it could just be a spring re-release of Series 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Heck, it could just be a spring re-release of Series 2. That's still available though? Just not in GW stores outside of Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That's still available though? Just not in GW stores outside of JapanAh, cool - didn't know that. It could be a painting contest in the spring for Series 2 Heroes then. This is one of those "non-news" events because it could mean almost anything, but what it clearly isn't is an announcement of a new Heroes 4 series. It could be a cheeky hint of some kind, but the speculation that it's a new line is premature, as nothing used in the image is actually indicating something new. They could be reinvigorating the Series 2 line (which would be weird if they are still on sale there) with something. No use working into a fervor about something that hasn't been said to be occurring. Antarius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
