Rumour Possibly new rumor info from valrak regarding eldar / SM / Krieg / CSM

[Redcomet]

Stuff is coming out.

 

Groundbreaking 

[Scribe]

 

I'd lean more towards Ynnari than Exodites myself, honestly.

 

Hope not. Ynnari are a branch that's going to wither. Exodites and Pirates make way more sense.

[StrangerOrders]

 

 

Were Blood Angels and Dark Angels enough for Marine players?

 

Until Eldar have four Craftworld codex supplements, an entire  game devoted to them and an Epic scale game, no.

 

And hint: if you ask the same of any non-marine faction, my answer will always be the same.

I feel like this could be taken as a 'cull the marines' argument by some, I do not.

 

Because I remember loving the Iyanden supplement back in that day with all its fluff and will forever feel robbed that we didn't get a model for their giga-Spiritseer heroine or more sapient Wraith characters.

 

Faction consolidation is imo, always a mistake.

 

I will prefer some White Scar character driven by an awesome concept over some new redundant unit. I will prefer an Iyanden caped Wraithlord over making a new 5 unit army that needs to be crammed into the setting (which is rich with potential).

 

So what if some craftworlds, chapters or septs play suspiciously alike? Every edition since GW got on the 'simplify' train has ended in a progressively more eldritch mess that caters to the competitive crowd.

 

I am going to paraphrase a Highlord that got canned for her opinion. "Give us the Exodites, Give us the Craftworlds. Burn the limitation to detachments and let us muster forth unique characters from random Successor chapters! Hear me my lords, why must we content ourselves with mere colour gradiants for different Hive Fleets! Give the Mechanicum more than Skitarrii and let the Farsight Tau have the katanas they pretend to not crave!"

 

*cough* or something like that *cough*

Exactly how I read Petitioner's City post myself.

[Focslain]

 

Ah, I didn't realise Chaos Knights still use the Helverins and Armigers kits as well as their own. In that case, yeah, they could do with new something on a larger frame. I wonder if a proper chaosy Tyrant kit could be on the table.

Yeah, it's the Huntsmen (warglaive) and Executioner(helverin), honestly I hope Imperials get something like the chaos Stalker which is a character so chaos can have an all wardog force. I want to go back to fielding my all armigar army from 8th/9th

[ThePenitentOne]

 

Marines don’t have an entire game devoted to them.

 

Yeah, I know- the game also has Solar Auxiliary and Admech. 

 

Perhaps I should have said, "Until Eldar get a game that is mostly about them fighting each other, but includes two other factions as well."

 

More cumbersome to write, but yes, I concede it would have been more accurate.

[MoriyaSchism]

The plastic Deathriders have really big shoes to fill and I hope GW won't disappoint. I really want to see plastic Warp Spiders and a new Phoenix Lord. If they absolutely need to release new Space Marines I would prefer that release wave be reserved for the Grey Knights and the new models have to be on par with the current Castellan Crowe model.

[Marshal Reinhard]

I have never subscribed to the notion that marines need take a back seat just because their catalogue is already big. It is big for a reason. They're the biggest faction, the largest group of players are catered to with their releases.

 

However i draw a line with questioning the need for more xenos or other human factions. I mean c'mon brother.

 

I feel we could do without bemoaning the luck of either

4, you forgot the Talons of the Emperor and Questoris Knights.

 

Kind of 5 actually considering the daemons of the ruinstorm, although they don’t have much of a model range.

[Cenobite Terminator]

This is getting pretty wishlisty with some Space Marine angst thrown in for good measure.

Is there even anything new here? Save your money if you pay these factions is hardly news

I saw Valrak's video from a while back about the new knight, and I interpreted it as a Questoris or Dominus chassis--a big boy-- rather than another Armiger variant. Is there a separate source for the Armiger claim?

[Indy Techwisp]

 

Marines don’t have an entire game devoted to them.

 

Spaces Marines do have a game named after them tho.

2, in fact.

 

In terms if the actual Rumour(s) tho I have some opinions:

Aeldari and Drukhari do have a ton of models that need updating, but some new units like an Exodite squad or anything new for Harlequins would be appreciated.

For Guard, I'm surprised Valrak didn't say anything else about the supposed Ogryn+Ratling Killteam release, but I guess there's just not any new news about it yet.

I'm not surprised there's more Marines coming, what with Black Templars, Space Wolves and Grey Knights yet to get their 10th ed Codex, but if there's more releases for Generic LSM that would be very nice.

As for Chaos, if Emperor's Children are supposed to be the Summer release and, according to WarCom and the roadmap, we're due for so-called "Chaos Treats", it adds fuel to my burning concern that all the Cult Marine Factions are releasing at the same time and Daemons are getting rolled in with their Cult Faction.

(Personally, I'd prefer if Daemons just gained the Keyword of the faction they're souped into and got IA style "soup points" rather than being fully integrated, but that's besides the point of this thread.)

His most recent rumour video from a week or so ago, where he collected everything he'd heard about what was revealed to be coming at Nova

It’s too bad they won’t release rules without models. Then they could do more and do it more quickly.

[Chapter Master Valrak]

[MaximusTL]

i do think that we will get an Aeldari vs Slaanesh theming next year, it fits too well. I don't know if we'll get a versus box, we haven't had one in a long time, but the concept sounds wonderful. 

i blew alot of hobby budget on the Blood Angels release this year, and now with the Aedari next year and hints of world eaters . . . oh my.

 

[Magos Takatus]

I certainly hope so. I bought into a codex called IMPERIAL KNIGHTS, not imperial squires. 

[Dark Shepherd]

Am a bit surprised theyre not merging knights and chaos knights into one codex BUT I think it lines up with other CMV rumours of Vashtor getting minions....so Vashtor, Chaos Knights, Belakor, in one book (?)

 

A fair few viewer questions on last nights stream about Drukhari getting merged into one giant Eldar codex

 

He had another rumour of Grey Knights getting a Kill Team in 2026

 

All in all the lesser played armies are a bit nervous right now

[Mogger351]

Moneys paw moment: there are too many Aeldari units to have 1 book for them all.

Well we have Craftworlds, Dark Eldar, Clown Eldar, and Rebel Eldar -- super apologize, it's early and I can't remember their actual names. 

Seems like DE should be their own thing, but in more recent years, they are all sort of just mashed together. It's sort of become an odd faction hasn't it?

Dakaris and Ynnarri can team up but Ynnari and all other Eldar can team up sic, its probably too much of a headfeth for GW doctrine to have Ynarri printed in 2 books but they could do it design wise if they came out at the same time

 

[ZeroWolf]

First I've heard of the idea of DE and Eldar sharing a book. Was this just talk from concerned fans over how Harlequins were merged with eldar into 9th edition?

There are not enough Eldar players out there to sell this to. I have myself an Ulthwé army from 3rd 40K consisting almost exclusively of Guardians and Warlocks. Although playing them felt weird as shuriken catapults had only a pitiful range 12 inches thus putting valuable Eldar lives at risk. They would be more attractive to players, if their basic gun wouldn´t suck.
