I hardly know 'er-Rak.

Speaking of Raks 

 

Building off of one of @Chapter Master Valrak rumors from a week or so ago about Guilliman models getting sent back to GW in preparation for the new one, I went to my local store to grab some stuff today and all of the Guillimans were sitting on his "get it before its gone" shelf. So maybe that one is true after all

I’m just hoping for catachan kill team reveal.

Those shelves are just there for a bit of FOMO. They’re generally next to the paint rack and brushes - the areas where people will pop in, grab a single pot and not pay too much attention to the regular shelves. It’s an upselling trick. If the store only has space for 8 different Tyranid kits, then the 9th Tyranid kit gets put on that shelf.

 

My local has Heresy Leviathan dreads with ranged weapons on the “get it before it goes” shelf, and the Leviathian with close combat weapons on the Heresy shelf right next to it. There’s no way the Leviathan Dread is on its way out.
 

To be fair, there’s a box of the boarding action terrain from the end of 9th Ed on that shelf as well. It’s been there at least a year, probably even longer. As time goes on I find myself more and more interested in it.

GW stores have limited space for individual SKUs, plus new releases. Any new releases that don't get sold go on the shelf, as once they're gone (from that store) they're gone, and become direct only.

 

Guilliman is an odd one, as he's been out for ages, unsure if he's part of the standard stock though.

[Marshal Mittens]

I think we are going to see the Primaris range reworked over the next 3 editions like we saw with the vanguard for Stormcast; i think this edition we will get new intercessors in a slimmer sort of armor with more character and throw backs to older MKs of armor, and much of the other stuff will gradually be upgraded too, with some things being modernized from the pre-primarias era like we saw with terminators.

 

Robutee is likely going to be replaced here soon to usher in that new era with the upgraded intercessors.

I mean, I cant speak for other stores obviously, but this one has had him consistently in the same spot in the main wall for the last year and a half. Today it was on the "last chance" spot where he normally has random stuff that is special ordered and not bought, or things like the special Cain book reprints they did before they leave the store 

 

Today Calgar was sitting in the spot next to the Lion where Guilliman had been. As others pointed out it could be coincidence or a number of different reasons, I just thought it was odd given Valraks rumor

Yeah I tend to agree. I dont know about slimmer armor or anything, but the releases over the last year+ have shifted towards mixed armor, mixed bolter variants (aesthetically mixed), etc. I know Valrak has also said there's going to be some sort of veteran (my words, he said mixed armor) intercessor kit coming. I know folks will eye roll at a new Guilliman, but I have personally hated his model and would love to see a new one that matches the Ultramarines range now that they have a primaris one. We also have seen them narrow the scope a bit, there aren't any Riever releases anymore, we haven't seen Gravis armor in a bit, etc. So I think that they're settling in (for lack of a better term) for what they want the range to be after playing around for the initial release

I should be mad they're re-doing Guilliman before I get Leman Russ but I admittedly hate that Robby G mini and think it needs a re-work. Plus, as a Space Wolves collector I don't feel like I'm starving or anything.

To circle back around to this, it appears that awhile ago known leaker 'Boole' on TGA had mentioned a "Commissar Graves".

 

The associated text (in the form of an Ork-speak story) was about the Space Wolves dragging a corpse (presumably Yarrick) from the battlefield and healing them. That individual is leading Armageddon "again", against Speedboss Wazdakka. He's got "more allies, shiny new rides, fresh 'eroes! Even Commissar Graves..."

 

So the patch may be "GRAVES FERRUS", and refer to said new IG Character.

[Dark Shepherd]

Auspex Tactics had this magikked angle

 

Galvos Ferrus would mean Iron Heads or Iron Tops/Spikes, not a stretch for it to be Iron Guard

[Marshal Reinhard]

My Smudge-ese admittedly isn't the best, but aren't the the underlined letters here the same on the two lines?

 

 

Ferrus seems like a good bet on the second line, but that'd mean the first one is *R**ES something or other? Or am I leaping the gun here?

 

Graves Ferrus works out.

New idea, kinda best off rumors. 

 

What if this patch is meant to represet Guard Armor/Mechanized Regiments? 

 

Other option is that GW will reveal new original Guard Regiment and while that would be cool, the odds of that happening now are way too low to consider. 

wouldn’t Ironhead refer to Necromunda squats?

We have also seen a commissariat powerfist in the rumour engine, and that looks a lot like the outline of a powerfist behind the skull.

The  Cadian 346th Armoured are known as 'Ironheads' so this patch could just be a hint for the rumored new guard vehicles.

If it's for an armored regiment then it would certainly tie into the rumor for new guard vehicle(s) being released alongside Yarrick with the next campaign book. 

 

Edit: Yarrick is known for his use of vehicles and mechanized infantry against the Orks so it tracks lore wise as well thematically with his release allegedly being a foil to Wazddaka Gutsmek.

Same for the Armageddon 339th, also called Iron Heads

[Casual Heresy]

Hoping against hope the patch refers to a Mordians kits, mainly for a steady source of peaked cap heads so I can turn the Krieg kits I have in the pile of potential into Terrax Guard. A man can dream.

 

I do think it is more likely a hint at these rumoured new guard vehicles.

Aye. Said Rumour Engine:

 

 

The heavy iron fist of Commissar Graves?

I have a suspicion that this rumour is actually true. His model could do with a refresh, and it IS almost 10 years old.

Also... the Ultramarines are expected to get something with the next codex. It was going to be a new Guilliman or some refreshed characters, but they seem to be cutting their hero roster down. I imagine Ventris will be dropped as well.

Agreed. In my view, Guilliman’s model — and Magnus’ as well — arrived at an awkward moment, just before the overall quality of plastic sculpts took a noticeable leap forward (again, that's my opinion). As a result, the first two Primarchs released for 40K can feel somewhat underwhelming compared to what followed shortly after, starting with Mortarion. I would welcome a resculpt for both of them!

[Orange Knight]

The Guilliman plot thickens. I have just been to visit my local GW, and I'm on 1st name basis with the staff there.

The Guilliman models have been recalled by GW and are no longer sold at the store. I can't confirm if this is the case in other stores as well.

I can agree with Robute, but I think Magnus can fit in fine with his brethren though i suppose we'll see what a difference in time makes when they release Magnus ascended for HH. Robute though, he needs to be brought in line with the model his brother got. Slightly gutted there is no Russ this edition but my wallet is definitely happier about that. Might have the lion painted by the time another loyalist comes along

Doesn't necessarily mean G-man is getting a new model.  His sales might've just become saturated (seems like every tournament player has him, if they're playing marines), the product is no longer moving, and they're clearing shelf space for the incoming Maelstrom/11th ed stuff that will move.

 

It could mean a new model, but it doesn't by itself mean a new model.

By itself it doesn't mean much, although I doubt his sales would be stagnant as many new players collect Ultramarines and would pick him up.

 

His disappearance following rumors of a new model, on top of being days away from a big reveal event, does make you wonder.

I hope this means that they are killing him off.
