Xenith Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Veeery interesting, and along the lines of what we'd expected. I'd hope that they soon after revisit Thousand Sons to provide some new units, poor Tzeentch is left out in the cold all the time!

01RTB01 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Any indication what the elite unit may be at this stage please?

Noise Marines are 6 per squad, sonic weapons and some other type of weapon. Elite 3-man swordsman unit fused with daemons, can have double swords.

Nephaston Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 What makes this most believable is that this would break the cult legion mould of 10-man cult marines as the main staple troop by turning noise marines into a six man squad. Or maybe they changed it to cult legions now re-including standard legionnaires and for some reason noise marines are a six man kit to mimic the seven man kit of plague marines. Either way would be some amount of GW buffoonery, but I would vastly prefer noise marines remaining as the staple battleline for EC. Notable is also the lack of a cultist equivalent unit, unless some wires got crossed and the legionnaires are an upgrade kit while the 10-man is a hedonite cultist unit.

A 10-man chaff unit like Tzaangors, Poxwalkers, and Jakhals. Then again anything is possible, seeing as WE do not have access to regular cultists.

Waaagh? Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Curious to see what they do with Fulgrim. As far as the lore goes he still looks like he did when he ascended during the Heresy so is his model just going to be a similar design in a different pose? First time anything like this has happened I think.

Castellan Wulfrik Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Hopefully we get Eidolon and a jump pack unit later down the road. There's a lot they can do with the Emperor's children and this is looking a little thin. Noise Marine Land Speeder Proteus would be a cool idea.

Prot Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I always wondered what the heck Fulgrim would look like at this point in the 40K universe. I mean it could really be just about anything. I can't imagine using him as a giant snake/worm. I'm curious what GW does with him.

dicebod Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 1 hour ago, Petitioner's City said: I presume mk6 will be the overall theme? This seems like a safe bet, given that 1) the other god-aligned legions we've seen have been associated with other marks (III for DG, IV for TKSons, V (sort of?) for WE) and 2) recent 30k lore has out-and-out said that EC's favored MK VI at the end of the heresy. apologist and LSM 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/#findComment-6070657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Seems like a reasonable release. I imagine like WE there is more designed/planned that will get released in future editions. Though they really need to throw Thousand Sons a bone. Fir that elite unit corrupted Palatine Blades perhaps?

I they're a Unit of 3, then they're probably closer to the Exalted Eightbound than proper Terminators (in which case EC will probably get Regular Chaos Terminators as an import unit from Base CSM) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/#findComment-6070689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
