Yeah I started on some first born this week to try and scratch the itch but when I put them next to my primaris they just look silly... Next year can't some soon enough!

 

Chances of a preview coming on Xmas day for us with a wolf detachment?

I said this when Primaris first came out; the size disparity between the two types of models was game breaking for me. 
 

if I do come back, it will be Primaris only for my Wolves and will on be for campaign gaming on theme, nothing competitive

Well no reveal for us today as I'd hoped but at least the fulgrim preview means another loyalist will be along soon after. Hopefully Russ will be coming to give him a good kicking

The chatter in the EC threads has been that Russ will be next to matchup against the already released Magnus with Khan on the horizon to match up with Fulgrim. 
 

Makes sense considering unfinished business between them all.

As a White Scars player, I'd really like Khan back, but from what I've seen in the threads, the expectation is that Russ is coming back in 10th ed's equivalent to Arks of Omen (a.k.a the end of edition event) and may not even be paired up on arrival at all, rather being set up with Daemon Perty and/or Lorgar in the future.

Fulgrim is looking like he's going to be Lion El's second opponent, in the same way that Guilliman was paired off against both Magnus and Mortarion.

 

Plus if they were matching Loyalist to Traitor primarchs based on Horus Heresy match ups, Khan fought against Mortarion more than Fulgrim so pairing them off doesn't work as well.

 

Edit: I've also seen rumours that Russ returning is going to be used as a way to bring back the Exodites as well, since Russ went looking for the Tree of Life and, via some Lore shenanigans I don't fully understand, the Aeldari Goddess Isha is apparently the Tree of Life, so if Russ returns with the Tree of Life then Isha is back and so the Exodies should be as well.

I don't put any stock in that myself personally, but that does feel like the kind of Random BS GW would pull in the end of edition crossover event where everyone randomly teams up for some reason.

the new rumor engine image (FEB 11) looks like a wolf leg maybe from the rumored wolves attached to spacewolf units

Looks more like a horse leg to me. Not shaggy enough to be a wolf. GW normally do fairly heavily textured wolf fur.

That's a horse leg for sure.
