Sarvis Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Hello brothers, as many of you may know there are whispers abound that the Lion himself may be returning, with primaris reinforcements for the Dark Angels alongside him. I didn’t see a topic on this here, and I wanted to hear your thoughts/concerns/opinions on the matter.

Gamiel Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I think not one bit likely. GW have not even near the end of possible storylines based on Gulliman's return and the effects it has on the Imperium on possible stories, and we will not see the return of a secund primarch until they have done much more of that. When the current Blood Angels storyline, the Dawn of Fire and Watchers of the Throne series have all been finished and the revelations in the Dark Imperium books have been built on, then I can see they maybe introduce a new primarch. Until then you can use the HH Lion El'Jonson figure as count-as-Gulliman if you want, and as long as your opponent have no problem with it you can change all the keyword Ultramarine stuff till keyword Dark Angels.

Chaplain Raeven Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I believe the rumours, The Lion is the most likely Loyalist Primarch to return, they just have to wake him up after all! Since there are rumours of a Rubiconned Azrael as well, I expect to see some new release in the next campaign, at least within the next two years.

I think you underestimate just how much GW likes sales, and will let the story suffer for them. They KNOW the fan-base will go rapid for a 40K Lion, and with a Primaris Dark Angel facelift in the pipeline, now is the time. Personally, I couldn't be happier if The Lion returns, but I'd also love to see The Khan and The Wolf return too.

Feirros, Adrax Agatone) or had a model (ex. Mephiston, Ragnar Blackmane) than the Chapter-Master. But then again we did get Marneus Calgar and Kayvaan Shrike, so if we get a new DA Primaris character we may get Azrael.

GW knows Azrael is a beloved HQ, which means they'll make money of him. Belial would be nice way to introduce the new Primaris Terminator armour. We might see a whole series of characters, like the Black Templars recieved, which would be really nice. Wouldn't get my hopes up too much though, the rumour was about the Lion and Azrael, so that's what I'll cling to. I still have to paint up my 30K Lion and two whole boxsets worth of models, my wallet hopes they take their time.

Gamiel Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Since we just got a Rogal Dorn Battle Tank the perfect way to play to the rumorse would be to give us Lion El'Jonson, a Lion El'Jonson tank that is.

If I recall correctly, Valrak mentioned something like a "Angels of Death" codex in a video a while back (although I may be misremembering). That, coupled with the likely remake of Azrael and the return of El'Jonson, has me hoping for a Black Templar style release for DA/BA in 10th. (Although I would be over the moon for a DA specific Intercessor squad with robes and trinkets and so on, but I guess I can convert that from BT) Also, wasn't there a rumour about the Lion coming with some Lion's Guard?

Brother Syddraf Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 When this icon on the new Arks of Omen boarding action box was shown off by GW, that's when I knew he would awaken soon.
