Hearing this release is going to be similar to the WE in terms of models, did a full video on it below for those interested but just a summary:

 

  • New Legionnaires
  • New Elite Unit
  • New Lucius 
  • New HQ
  • New Fulgrim 
     

 

Spoiler

Any indication what the elite unit may be at this stage please?

 

After waiting since 1996 and the second Ed chaos codex I'm very excited but financially terrified lol

From the video:

Basic 10 legionnaires are styled like old EC artwork, "plumed helmets, heresy style shoulder pads and bolters".
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.

Are we getting noise marines plus the legionnaires? I wonder if the legionnaires are an upgrade kit like the night lords kill team?

Wait, so is this 2 separate units or is this saying that your squad of 10 EC Marines can have 6 of them be Noise Marines?

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.

You're gonna join TSons and DG in just acquiring the generic Cultist Blob

I watched the vid

10 man legionnaires unit

6 man noise marine unit

 

2 separate things.

 

Can't wait to see Dr. Ian Malcolm return to this party.

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.

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.

More Primarchs

 

Yay:ermm:

I mean there isn't reason for them not to be in the game in the case of the daemon primarchs, they're known to be active in the material universe for a long time.

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?

Actually thinking about this more, the Elite 3 Man swordmaster group could be Terminators. 

 

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)
