Maybe they could throw in a Neurowhip and a 'Blaster. Or an Icon and a backpack. I thought more this, it sounds like from Valrak these are the Legionaries so far, so if they stick with them, probably seeing what special weapons and equipment they have as even if this is just a sprue like the Night Lords there will likely be a special close-combat weapon (like a whip) for the Champion, a banner or icon equivalent and then maybe a duelling sabre or something or a chest plate or something that's quite EC stylised. Hopefully be an exciting one tomorrow to tide us over until Christmas Day!

Based on the fact there's no mortal unit it tallies for kit numbers too.

Hopefully be an exciting one tomorrow to tide us over until Christmas Day! I'm going to trust that these aren't an upgrade sprue. Even if they are, though, I think that there will be a smattering of Sonic Weapons. Just, y'know, a couple as special weapon options (while the six-man "Noise Marines" have them as base). Valrak did mention a Plasma Gun, so maybe one of those (modded with a bunch of extra exhausts to blow the overheating back at the user). // Looking back at how the World Eaters were shown off: 04/05/22: Announcement of coming Codex, and renders of Chainaxes/Eviscerator. 08/07/22: Angron is forced to be previewed early after an image of him leaks. 08/08/22: "Khorne Day" shows off a single new Berzerker. 01/09/22: NOVA Open shows off full Berzerker unit. 05/09/22: Renders dump: Jugger Lord's backpack, Chainaxe, Shoulder Pads and Helmet, Berzerkers' Icon, Eviscerator (again), Shoulder Pads, and heads, Jakhal belt buckles, and what turned out to be the first preview of an Eightbound's head, chest plate, and Chainfist. 08/10/22: Warhammer Day reveal of Lord Avocado. 19/11/22: Warhammer Preview Online shows off the rest of the line (Eightbound, Jakhals, Jugger Lord). 06/12/22: Further showing off the Berzerkers, including more renders of heads and shoulder pads. So... obviously not a great parallel to the Ecstatic Epistle. Far more stretched out, and having to disrupt themselves with the Angron leak. Then the weird choice to just put a bunch of renders all out at once in a single article. But maybe we can look to the type of thing shown off: iconic weapons, Icon, heads, shoulder pads, bits of the new elite unit, bits of the lord.

Elazar The Glorified Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 No complaints from me if it is a full kit but has that actually been confirmed that it's fully new sprues and not a new unit ala Nemesis Claws etc?

Yeah I think our timeline is going at a faster pace, best case scenario is this Christmas we see the ec army boxset which always releases a month earlier than the full codex release , and then yeah maybe at the preview in march or if they is an earlier one we could see the rest of the army , unless it is leaked like angron was ZeroWolf and HolyPestilience 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/14/#findComment-6080280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

01RTB01 Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 He came, he came! The ecstatic Epistle has been and haven't they delivered?! Genuinely, without exaggeration they're amazing. They hit the sweet spot of guitar details and classic sonics. Hopefully we get some more sonic blasters that are bespoke but either way, these are excellent! Love the dials on the blaster and blastmaster.

Guns, but with musical flimflam present (dials, valves, a whammy bar, fretters, etc.). Not sure about the canisters. That's kind of a curious addition - as though they need some sort of fuel. (I'm also not a huge fan conceptually of a Sonic Pistol - why shoot a dinky little scream gun when your mouth already is a dinky little scream gun, y'know?) The hands also seem a bit plain - I liked the previous style, with all sorts of grotesque tubes and feeds interconnecting the guns and the wielder. Though I suppose these could be special weapons for the "basic marines", and the fancier six-man squad could be more extreme.

I don't think these will be for the basic marines. Visually they're not going to want to confuse noise marines and legionnaires. I'd put hefty money on these being 'just' for the noise marines. Can't wait to see the torsos, legs, backpacks now. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/14/#findComment-6080471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Golem Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 (edited) I think they’re valves like on bagpipes rather than flasks/canisters. Edit: for some reason I totally skipped the big fuel canister things under the front. I was focusing on the little ones at the back.
