So are they going to show the Lion as the first thing, or the last thing, in the preview? Because the crowd is really just going to be "SHOW US THE LION" until they do, regardless of what the schedule is.

 

Can you imagine if they kept the cat in the bag (hehe) for the entire preview, nobody knowing if it's going to be a thing or not, and right at the end "Oh, and one more thing..." > Lion Reveal > Mic Drop. I mean, that's how I would have done it - all they've done here is (presumably) give away the best reveal of the day before the Preview has even begun. I do wonder a their Community / Marketing team at times...

I couldn’t agree more with this! I believe it should be Andy Hoare though as he’s the head writer for Arks of Omen 

 

lucky for us Phil is now busy with AOS

 
veering a little OT here but Andy Hoare has been heading up Arks of Omen while also being head of specialist games??

"The Lion" written by Gav Thorpe and Phil Kelley - The Lion wakes up, accidentally bumps the Chalupa and creates a warp storm going back in time to cancel out the warp storm Azrael accidentally sent back through time the last time Gav was allowed to write a novel. This results in Caliban never being destroyed, creating a time paradox and transforming The Lion into a new Chaos demigod. That demigod's name? Vashtorr the Stampede.

 

Vashtorr's first act as the new Daemon Primarch of the Darkest Angels is to have Azrael cede the Angels of Absolution homeworld to the Tau for some reason. The rest of the novel is a training montage between Shadowsun and Farsight.

 

Also, the Imperium starts a civil war and the Tyranids are revealed to have been created by Bellisarius Cawl.

 

"You're hired. We expect a series out of you, which will need to be retconned after the first 2 books. BTW, make sure the Emperor is reborn in the final book, we hear it will go over well." - GW

Done! As someone who has never written anything longer than a graduate thesis, I am sure my quality will match or even exceed whatever GW requires.

"As a novel it's merits are few. I did, however, learn a surprising amount about Early Post-Roman lentil storage techniques in Coastal Britain...."

Give me John French or Chris Wraight. :)

I also really enjoyed ADB’s firstly short stories with the lion he made him a credible character after Gav made him a karate chopping mad man 

 

David Guymer also did I good job in the Primarch book

 

Wraight would be my choice though too :)

Guymer did a great job making the Lion something besides just a really big and fast person. Definitely got the inhuman quality down.

I might be confusing my names here again, I’ll try and find the WarCom article, This should? predate Wades Lore Master role with them working so far ahead but I could be wrong

Even before that Andy was Heresy based.

New Rogal Dorn as Warmaster of the loyalists to go with the new Horus ascended and a Fellblade, those are my predictions for 30k.

 

Interesting. I think the next Primarch we'll see is Khan on his bike because that was a really harsh move from FW considering I imagine most Scars players will want him mounted too.

checking playlists for unlisted videos is an idea from someone else
don't see a 40k playlist, here is one for HH with two unlisted videos

 

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEaPE4sLDA7szN6iW0xLICsMTZFB6SsM2

 

two tanks would be too much for tonight right?

 

Fair chance at least one of these is for Heresy Thursday.

Do I understand correctly that the event is going on now, and they’re broadcasting the video once it’s done? So people are seeing the reveals right now? Not a gripe, just curious. 

 

Yep; that's how it goes!
