Arks of omen release - what are we expecting.

[jimbo1701]

Gw has made it clear they are introducing new ways to play rather than new rules, such as when psychic awakening introduced faction updates for all but a few towards the end of 8th edition (deathwatch and harlequins being white dwarf exclusive, necrons being overlooked as they were the first non marine codex of 9th) Unclear as to whether this included dataslates  

I can’t see that they will go for 9 months without any model releases for 40k (obviously guard, votann and likely world eaters will get their large releases during that time) prior to the anticipated release of 10th in July 2023. Model releases during psychic awakening tended to be single kits / models for most factions (not all) with some getting slightly larger releases and vs sets. 
 

I would speculate we may see the following:

space marines - rumoured dreadnought / missile launcher infantry, special character and primarch  

guard - nil as recent release  

sisters / admech / custodes - nil

tau - rumoured farsight  

necrons - destroyers

Orks - tankbustas 

eldar - aspect and Phoenix lord 

drukhari - mandrakes / grotesques 

tyranids - rumoured for 10th starter set)

genecults - nil 

votann - nil as recent release 

Chaos daemons - daemon prince 

knights / chaos knights - nil 

chaos marines - bikers 

thousand sons / death guard - nil 

world eaters - nil as recent release

I'm just intrigued at who the thing is that Abbaddon has been treating with. Looks Mechanicus, so my favourite would be Dark Mech finally making a proper appearance - but wouldn't it be a mindrip if it turned out to be Cawl?

I mean, adding Dark Mech as a playable faction would be pretty cool.
