New Edition, or Just Horus Hearsay?

It's on the Saturnite chests

 

One thing that was pointed out on a YouTube video I saw recently is that the vehicle debris that the Saturnine Praetor is likely standing on is from the Rapier Batteries that are drawn in the Beta-Garmon book. And they said that it’s more likely that such base debris can be a sign of a plastic kit coming out soonish.

I should laugh, but I feel personally attacked

Indeed, that's not a proper imperial aquila. Just like the one in the AoD sword praetor, it looks like an US government bald eagle rather than the fantasy roman/german-like variants we've always seen used by the Imperium.

GW: only III legion used the Aquila in the Heresy

Fans: got it <proceed to religiously remove any winged eagles from all other legion models>
GW: <proceeds to liberally spray winged eagles all over other legion models>

 

They were playing the long game on this  mickey-take!

There are two types of Aquilas (three if you count the Custodes symbol)

 

 

edit: (four if you count the ultramarian eagle of the east)

They did: Death Guard favored MkIII and Iron Warriors favored MkII

Every time I see Death Guard in Mk VI armor I get this twitch in my eye that won’t go away.

Idk about that the only time I can think of IWs stating a preference for armour was one of them complaining about Mark II helms being locked into place

 The answer is pretty obvious: we have been deceived, Brothers. The Imperial Aquila is actually an Imperial Dodo!

Today is the day

I'm Australian so for me tomorrow is the day but I definitely share the enthusiasm.

My wife laughed right in my face when I asked her to distract my three-year-old for half an hour in the morning so I can catch up. I don't think I'm gonna get my half hour.

Haha it's nice to see that it is the exact same thing on the ither aide if the world.

Lucky for me I am on CEST. Kids will be in bed by then .

Got to say, I'm well impressed that even though the box leaked, they actually managed to keep the hype train going pretty well! (at least for me)

 

Now I'm mostly curious to see if they also show some additional stuff or if they'll only do the Saturnine box in the reveals.

I'm impressed the box has leaked but no real leaks about how the game has changed for the new edition.

 

I think they will show off a bit more than the box. I'm hoping they will do some mickey taking/trolling as well but I think it will be showing off what is in the box, releases along side and an overview of the changes to rules. I'm not expecting a road map as I think GW have been stung by them, but I think they will say a little bit about up coming things. I'm also half expecting a Dark Mechanicum tease but considering the set is about the Dropsite massacre, this is probably unlikely.

 

I'll be watching later tonight as it's on during the bedtime routine for my son, so I've got to avoid looking at my phone or annoying my wife about it until later! 

[Vassakov]

Ironically I'm heading up to Sheffield for what will likely be a last hurrah for the 2.0 HH set, so I suspect I'll be on the M1 when this happens.

 

Will enjoy catching up on it later... hopefully they'll talk a bit about rules changes but we'll see.

Also this one only has one head so I wouldn't be surprised if it's handwaved as a heavily stylised raptor imperialis, and the guys in the suits just happen to be terran veterans.
