New knight, new guard, new KTs

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I have been asking for a proper scout tank for a while, so if we get a Stewart-esque tank and a half track like he mentioned I’ll be pretty excited.

Anyone able to watch the video, and kind enough to provide a text-inload summary?

Reiterates IW combat patrol contents

NL combat patrol:

- The NL squad i can't remember the name of

- rhino

- chosen

- jump lord

 

Then mentions a "heresy era looking knight" as being the imperial foil in the new book, possibly with admech. Has a ranged arm and a selection of melee weapons, between armiger and questoris.

 

Book 4 armageddon, yarrick, 2 scout vehicles for guard.

 

Kill team GK vs khorne still around, eldar box as well.

 

Think that's a quick summary, watched it a couple hours ago so off top of my head.

You really ought to put a "RUMOURS" on the thread title, my guy.

No new Steel Legion for an Armageddon campaign - sacrilegious.

A NL themed combat patrol sounds pretty good. 

 

More variety for Guard vehicles is good too. 

 

Assuming book 4 is April  does that make it more or less likely that 11th will drop in July rather than June?

 

Also does GW hate Steel Legion. It feels like every opportunity they get to do something they just roll right past it.

9th edition dropped in late July and Pariah was released June/July only a couple of weeks before it. ( it was the 6th campaign book released that year.)

 

10th edition dropped in June and AoO the Lion (5th campaign book) was released late april or early may I believe.

 

I think in both cases the last articles concerning the end of edition campaign and the first articles concerning the new edition fully overlap, there wasnt really a pause or anything. 
edit : forgot this addition, there also isnt a consistent time period between books in most previous campaigns. Sometimes there is more than a month in between and sometimes they are only a couple of weeks apart... I even think 2 Psychic awakening books released at the same time ?

 

Only with gathering storm there was a constant month difference between each book and a significant time between the last book ( march I think ) and the next edition.. but these are really different times in many ways. Looking at 9th and 10th only makes more sense.  Even the AoS campaign ended in may and it had been going for quite a lot longer.

 

This ( combined with the randomness of some revealed miniatures appearing with Armageddon ) makes me consistently believe, not only do we have plenty of time for 4 books.. I think there might be a 5th as well. ( though that completely evading the rumors makes it less likely )

Much appreciated, @Mogger351 – and thanks @Inquisitor_Lensoven for sharing the video.

 

Scout vehicles for Guard sound interesting. We've seen the Tauros Venator pop up in Necromunda – that would have otherwise been my guess for inspiration, so I'll cross my fingers for something new.

And as for the poor Steel Legion (ever the bridesmaid), I'll just say that it'd be nice to have Yarrick come with a command squad, don't you think? I don't think it's completely beyond hope, given the more recent IG character releases; but I won't hold my breath.

He said a light tank and a half track, or maybe it’s the same vehicle, or maybe it’s 2

 

if we get a half track I’m hoping either for a baby hydra, or a transport

 

so like one autocannon and 4 stubbers

Or something like this, but not sure how it could be armed so it’s competitive with our preexisting transports.

A new half track transport vehicle would go great with a Catachan refresh if we ever get one.

[WARMASTER_]

Very excited to see a new mid size knight variant im hoping it’s a weird heresy or OD design kinda vibe 

[de Selby]

I want these guys back.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

For a half track transport I’m thinking armament like this

twin linked heavy stubbers

hull HB

HKM

transport capacity 15

firing deck 12.
