The video seemed to go quite quickly so I missed a bunch of the bottom text that scrolled past.

Thanks!

 

First thing I thought of with that first bit was the Titus secret level animation from last year, rightly or wrongly.

 

Not sure on the himalayan science lab reference though. Anyone know what that's referring to?

Big E's lab where he created the Primarchs, under the Imperial Palace is located in the Himalayan mountains.

The Emperor's place is situated over the Himalayas, and he had extensive science labs in the basement.  IIRC, the Sigilites had some sort of facility there for millenia before the Emperor built the palace.

The second time I see it in a single line, but
-3-man "Acheran Formation" squads to be added as addendum to codex 

Is a seperate item than the 2+ plot armour save.

 

Its one that stood out to me as possibly actually hinting something together with this one from the first; "Word Bearers "the worst" says survey. More to Follow" ( but mostly because of the more to follow part being out of context with the rest )

 

However if one and three have an actual hint, then you'd expect two to have one as well. And while its easy to point at the russ part being a hint.. I will just for fun sake go for the first one... combined with the "every spacemarine is an ultramarine if you paint it blue" and "from now on every release will be an ultramarine release"

 

I come to the following conclusion;

 

500 worlds related releases will all be in blue plastic 

 

 

( ps: dont take the above speculation too serious ;) )

Honestly I think people are taking this way too seriously and over thinking it. This is peak British humour which fair enough doesn't translate well even to other English speaking countries, but ultimately GW is a British company so that's what you're going to get.

 

I don't see this as anything more than a good joke following off the back of the rage we have had from a large number of smurf releases in a short period (and tbh I think all of that stems from a second Calgar model, if he didn't exist then I don't think the rage would be there). This just seems like the marketing team taking advantage, throwing a few skits together (which given what they are would take minimal work to actually achieve, actors are all probably staff, it gets dark in working hours ATM here, and you can generate t-shirts really quickly and cheaply). I would be surprised if this is hinting at anything more than the already confirmed 500 world's release.

Lol can we tone down the spite? 

 

"Nu Mahreens" "Scrawny ankles" "those in glass houses" Give me a break!

 

I think the Phobos Marines look great, and you can completely ignore them and run a full army without a single unit in this armour.

 

Did you really get that bothered about someone making mild comments about Phobos Nu-Marines? You aren't secretly a Nu-Marine miniature come to life, are you? Also, the part about glass houses was obviously meant to be self deprecating. (Boxer, strong upper body/weak ankles, yadda yadda.)

 

My favorite part about this marketing gimmick is just how aggro people are getting. Everyone is getting into the spirit of the meme.

No. I'm merely pointing out how this topic was nearly derailed multiple times by overt toxicity which isn't productive to a good discussion.

 

And when it finally seemed to have ended we get some more toxic baiting, from a mod no less.

 

Let's put things into context - this is a topic about a funny series of joke videos that GW have released. The videos are OBVIOUSLY jokes, and are filled with funny/witty comments and winks towards the 40k setting. If anyone thinks that these videos are justfication for actual anger, then those people need to re-evaluate their mental wellbeing. I'm not even joking about this.

Sir my posts in the black library section 2 weeks ago has nothing to do with you being childish and throwing a temper tantrum in this thread. But if it makes you feel better go a head, there's older posts for you to hit disagree with as well

Wow, I just got the same thing, and I don't even know who this is or what the hell is even going on

My only problem with them is they're locked to 3 man squads. I think they're neat and want to run bigger squads so I have something else to do with the Jump Pack Blood Angels detachment.

For context here - I have a ton of Phobos myself. My second favorite of the Nu Mahreens, after Gravis.  My reaction to Idaho's post was a little bit of air exhaled through the nose, because it was OK. Worth a slight crease of the facial muscles, you know? It's not that serious. Don't take other people's preferences personally.

 

(For anyone wondering: Just like an aurora borealis, at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in my kitchen - no, I will never show proof of just how much fully assembled and painted Primaris Nu Mahreens I own.)
