I think there's still whispers that Leman Russ is coming back this edition during the end of edition narrative thingy.

Or start of 11th.

They say that and what it will be is a new version of the Guard tank!....

Valrak is right. Russ returns next year as part of the end of edition campaign.

I am actually going to speculate that we will not be seeing Russ in late 10th or early 11th. Logan Grimnar is clearly designed as our centrepiece Primarch-equivalent model. He is on a Primarch sized base, has a pair of wolves with him and a tactical rock big enough to give any Primaris Lt lithic-envy. He has all the design elements I would expect of a 40K Russ so I don't expect Russ to follow Gimnar any time soon.

While i agree Logan has many design cues from Russ, it stands to reason to believe that Russ will come back, seeing how GW is intent on bringing back the Primarchs that are not Lore-dead, and whose Chapter already has miniatures. 

 

Also we have 4 daemon primarchs, and only 2 loyalists Primarchs. So we need more loyalists. 

 

Also my money for the 4th Loyalist Primarch would be on the Khan, or Vulcan.

As a firm believer that Russ would land at the end of 10th, forming a new pattern after the Lion. I got to say it looks like its definitely not happening as by this time previously in the edition cycle, we'd have months of Lion rumours (ones that Valrak was called out for if I remember right....till he was proven correct).

 

We've had no russ rumours other than our own speculation. Either GW security is actually working for this release (doubt it) or more realistically, its just not happening.

 

I'd happily eat my words if I'm wrong.

 

Still think Trazyn may have a part to play in things given rumours and his role in the upcoming grand narrative campaign (that link is my speculation).

No we don't! We needed zero of them! They were legendary figures of barely remembered mythic past, their absence symbolising the decaying nature of the current Imperium. Bringing them back destroyed the thematic core of the setting, and was completely unnecessary as there already was a fully supported separate game for inconclusive primarch slap fights.

 

Oh, and chaos can have theirs. They are already a bunch of losers hanging around in desolate corner of galaxy, so at least having some primarchs whilst the Imperium has none gave them some chance to seem like a proper threat once in a while.

I'm sorry but this ship sailed about 20 years ago.

 

The Horus Heresy gave us Primarch models and the novels and rulebooks explained everythig in great deal. There are no figures of a mythic past.

I wish it hadn't, but it did.
