What is the current state of Warhammer 40K news from Games Workshop?

Games Workshop has been relatively quiet with official Warhammer 40K news, leading to a bit of a news drought.

What was the initial release roadmap provided by Games Workshop for the 10th edition of Warhammer 40K?

The initial release roadmap for the 10th edition included codexes for Chaos Marines, Adeptus Custodes, Orks, Dark Angels, and then expanded to include Tyranids, Necromunda, and a mystery codex for the summer release.

Additionally, there are four 40K characters from the Battle Force box sets that are expected to be released individually.

What is the speculation about the lack of Warhammer 40K previews from Games Workshop?

There is speculation that Games Workshop might be trying to encourage 40K fans to try Age of Sigmar with the news drought, or they might be keeping codex titles hidden to disguise changes in the factions, such as Death Watch being folded into Imperial Agents. Other possibilities include staff availability for previews or a slower release schedule.

What is known about the upcoming Imperial Agents codex?

The Imperial Agents codex is speculated to be the next release, focusing on the Inquisition and possibly including Death Watch.

What are the expected releases for the Horus Heresy Mechanicum box?

The Horus Heresy Mechanicum box is expected to launch with the plastic version for the Cogboys, including Thallax Two-Caste Automata, a Trius Armored Conveyor, and 20 Te Valous.

There are speculations about a new Asuraman miniature and other aspect warriors being updated alongside the Codex release. It is also suggested that Eldar might receive a large release in the 10th edition, similar to the pattern of two phases of releases seen with other factions.

Transcripts

so Games Workshop has been keeping us in

a bit of a Warhammer 40K news drought

recently very little officially given

away about what's to come however we

still know really quite a lot about

what's coming up between combinations of

their rumors teasers leaks and preview

products so let's take a look at all the

HDs coming up for 10th edition so

far hello and welcome back to war

tactics well today I thought we'd talk

briefly about the lack of Warhammer news

in terms of previews and things coming

up and then go through the sum total of

all the current reveals heavy teasers

leaks and safe bets that should be

coming out over the remainder of 10th

edition at present though in terms of

official release road maps Games

Workshop have been keeping their cards a

bit close to their chest they dropped a

pathway of which codexes will be coming

out around the start of 10th edition

that took us up to spring with chaos

Marines tow custodians Orcs And Dark

Angels and since then they expanded on

that with telling us that Jean still a

Cults and sisters and a mystery codex

will be coming for summer je the CTS and

sisters have been a good few weeks ago

now and Games Workshop haven't really

shown off anything since and in general

for Warhammer 40K it's kind of unusual

for gamees Workshop to leave it quite

this long between previews in recent

years their normal way of doing things

has tended to be for us to know what's

coming before the last thing had already

released so the lack of previews is

maybe a bit unusual however we do have a

massive amount of information as to

what's coming in 10th edition even if

most of it isn't 100% at in the open

model revealed and officially

confirmed it's certainly driven a bit of

speculation as to why Games Workshop

haven't been previewing anything

recently it's not entirely clear why

they didn't show off anything at the

latest tournament typically at these

events they tend to have a reveal show

and talk us through some upcoming

releases it seemed like it was kind of

high time for it given not that many

releases on the horizon but nothing

turned up in the Tacoma event I've seen

all kinds of speculation as to why not

some people saying that Games Workshop

might be trying to get 40K folks to try

age of Sigma fourth edition by keeping a

bit of a drought of news around the same

sort of time as the big scaven time

release maybe there's some possibility

they're trying to keep codex titles

hidden for a little while to disguise

anything that might be going away let

say Death Watch being folded into

imperial agents or anything else being

reinterpreted like chaos demons or it

could just be completely mundane like

less availability of staff for the

previews or having some slightly slower

months coming up and not wanting to

build up hype too early as mentioned

though we do know quite a lot of what's

coming first up as confirmed releases

for waram 40K we've got eight kit

releases that we know are going to need

individual releases at some point four

kill team kits in the night Lords Drew

Cari mandres votan Yar and the Jean

still C Brew Brothers all of those all

got launched in their big versus boxes

for the bead deima sort of kill team

terrain but so far none of those have

been available individually I'm sure

there's really quite a lot of people

waiting on at least some of them to be

able to pick them up separately just so

much more easy if you collect one of

those factions but not both both of them

to pick up the kit without having to get

the second team of guys that you might

not be quite as interested in I feel

like all of them were pretty good

supporting 40K releases as well each

important to their respective codexes in

their own way otherwise we've got four

40K characters left over from the Battle

Force box sets the two chaos ones in the

chaos Lord on for and the chaos Lord

with jump pack they need their

individual release outside of the dread

Talons and Veterans battle forces and

then the genan stealer cour benefi us

and the sisters jump canoness they came

out in the CLE forces initially and at

some point they're just going to become

a part of the regular range likely as a

minor release thrown in alongside other

40K

stuff one of the only other 40K

Miniatures that has been fully revealed

at this point is celestian sacran avalin

she's a new character for a release

alongside a sister battle demon breaker

book and like similar black Library

releases like War Boss of tack Blackhawk

for the bad moons I think she's unlikely

to be a permanent part of the sist of

battle range unfortunately which kind of

is a shame as a miniature just is a

pretty Spectacular One in my opinion

course love the Flaming sword making the

sister battle Flur Le sort of Icon there

pretty cool posing with the sacred Rose

iconography plus the little sensor

cherubs I guess she'll be turning up

alongside the book when it comes

out for mainstream 40K releases though

it seems to be or but confirmed that the

next release will be the imperial agents

codex not entirely sure exactly how

they're going to brand and name it but

both rumors and product removals imply

that it's going to be alongside death

watch the focus is going to be nice and

squarely on the Inquisition apparently

this has been speculated for really

quite a while to be the mystery codex

that Games Workshop had build for summer

though with that time frame it really

could be as late as midt technically

though I'd hope that we might get this

one sometime in August at any case

without it even being revealed the

existence of it yet let alone any

contents or miniature releases it's most

likely at least a good few weeks off a

leak from a few months ago showed these

law sections that appear to be from an

imperial agent codex talking about a

bunch of Supporting Cast of characters

to the Imperium but there weren't any

rule sections in this or any

confirmations of models in or out of it

basically confirming that something

inquisitorial was going on though a

games workshops product takedowns on the

main Web Store mysteriously missing in

action on the web store are the Imperial

assassins Inquisitor greyfax and krier

draxus at the moment all the which are

pretty cool plastic Miniatures for the

range I think seems very unlikely that

they're going away permanently and to me

that applies some sort of reboxing or

new release format for them combat

Patrol Death Watch has also disappeared

as have the data cards for imperial

agents and death watch as well and

generally the data cards and the combat

patrols have only been removed prior to

a new release of the Codex for that

faction so far in 10th edition such as

when we had things like the chaos space

ring combat Patrol get taken down

shortly before the release of codex

chaos Marines this one feels like it's

going to be one of the most weird and

different codex releases out of 10th

edition so they might break their normal

pattern of releases for it typically

inquisitorial agents and things have

been used as an Allied faction in

Warhammer 40K up to this point in 10th

edition being able to take say

inquisitors assassins or various

retinues alongside your armies either

for law purposes and some of them can

have some nice in-game bonuses too like

potentially giving some Imperial Knights

access to some characters and infantry

if Games Workshop do decides to

basically treat it as the other codexes

they've had for 10th edition so far then

both combat Patrol and a Battle Force

dos least seem fairly possible we've had

both of those for literally every single

codex that's come out this year so

unless they decide to treat this one

differently it seems odds on we did get

an agent of the Imperium boarding Patrol

back in 9th Edition otherwise for model

releases Kaz was hinted very heavily at

the end of the arcs of omen Series in

ninth Edition a bit of a random cutway

to him towards the end of the series and

that was a book series that was very

associated with miniature releases

basically all the people who took Center

Stage got miniature releases and it

really did feel like that could have

been a teaser for KZ at the time I think

he made logical sense as well if you're

going to give them a token character

release he's pretty much one of the most

obvious picks unless they go for kov or

a more generic Inquisitor it' be really

awesome to see a primaris death watch

kill team not sure if they'll do that at

this point or not I just hope that

overall when everything's released the

Death Watch are still in an interesting

space it could be a very disruptive

thing for them if they wind up getting

locked out of choices they could take

before in codc Space Marines thanks can

always be a bit uncertain and options

have the chance to get lost if factions

are reinterpreted like that otherwise

for one of games workshops most recent

hints it seems that Games Workshop are

building up for a scons versus to

confrontation in the law over on

Warhammer Community typically Warhammer

Community don't just post Standalone law

articles unless they're promoting their

products in some way or shape or form

and this one just has loads of things

that fit well with a kill team release

the settings in the Chow area like the

previous kill Team box where we had syst

versus Tower Pathfinders the L xer

doesn't mention them by name but

basically confirms that the force is a

force of tempestous scons as they led by

tempestor and they're going to be

deployed to recover an alpha asset

against the tow which feels like the

exact sort of thing that you might

expect for a kill team sort of conflict

we also get into the release cycle for

the beta Desma kill teams the one on the

Aquatic type terrain it should imply

that late summer to Early Autumn sort of

things there's going to be a new season

for them and this could be a good

opportunity to shake up the setting if

they wanted to it also fits with

previous internet rumors of jump pack

Scions versus vesit which I think would

be a really cool Kil Team box and have a

lot of appeal both to Imperial Guard and

Tower players to my knowledge it was

chapter master valra who was the one who

first shared that rumor I've seen it all

over the place on the internet since not

sure if it's literally just him or if

it's been spread independently by other

sources as well but certainly the L

teaser looks like it a fit really well

with that and would explain the Curious

lack of vesit update in the big tow

auxiliary update that did the cruit so

nicely best bid were clearly crying out

for new models just as much if not more

it looked like that lore article was

part of a series so if they drop a to

focus one from their perspective

mentioning deploying Ved sting wind

teams to the area that seems like that

would pretty much cement it I feel like

that could be really quite a good fun

release both for Tower and

guard in The Fairly near future as well

we've got the expected release of the

40K combat Patrol magazine at least in

the UK L to F in other locations like

the us and various places around the

world after this one's the 10th edition

version of conquest and Imperium by hasp

partworks the idea being that you have a

Weekly Magazine with a Warhammer

miniature or more included plus a bunch

of paints and things to build them up

and if you do manage to keep on top of

the miniature painting delu that you're

going to get you have an awful lot of

Miniatures painted up and ready to go at

the end of it this one's expected to

release in the UK in August if those

dates by forbidden planets turn out to

be right I believe that that hinted that

they'd be towards the end of August so

like the 28th or something and that

would be fairly equivalent to how

Imperium launched when that one came out

in ninth Edition then if they do manage

to keep things to the same timetable it

would imply a USA release in January

2025 or thereabout and then sort of July

time in Australia it came to plenty of

other countries plenty of places in

Europe and stuff beyond that so it is

quite area dependent if you do subscribe

to the whole collection then it

basically makes up nine combat patrols

and then basically a bonus unit for each

one of them there is the option of a

premium subscription for yet more stuff

if that's desired it looks like the

first few issues will be some St sets

tyranids and Space Marines before they

move on to other stuff promo material

showed this picture plus one of a new

unique Inferno marine sergeant as well

they based on previous releases it's

probably best to judge it by the final

release materials as sometimes they do

tend to shift things around the promo

image that they had has changed at least

once since it was initially announced in

January could be an interesting option

for some good deals and things though if

you can manage to find a way to get hold

of them at least somewhat reliably if

you're able to cherry pick an issue or

two then that can be some big savings

and it can just be helpful for people

reselling them on eBay as well you might

be able to pick up some savings even if

people are selling them

secondhand for 40K adjacent release one

of the next big boxes to come out will

be the Horus hery mechanicum box

launching the plastic version for the

Cog boys of the Horus heresy and this

one's likely to follow the same pattern

as the solo auxilia this mechanic and

battle group being the first way to get

your hands on some of them this one

comes with some thalac two Casta

autometer the great big trius armored

conveyor and 20 te valous and then

they'll have a more General release of

that to follow with a bunch of stuff

coming out individually such as the big

thanatar seizure autometer and the arc

maos

Prime most of these aren't really

directly applicable to Warhammer 40K I

feel like quite a lot of adme players

will be more than happy if games woral

did this decides to releasee some 40K

rules for them it's not like they don't

enjoy digging up relics from the distant

past to sling them into battle I guess

the art majos could make for a pretty

front Tech priest at

least sticking with the 40K adjacent

releases for one more thing the necr

under mous Trin characters got quite a

bit of attention as well I feel like you

could certainly use pretty much all of

these as standings for a genan stealer

CT army or maybe tyranids if you wanted

a freaky brood Lord that's the M strain

coalescence the M strain Alpha and the

sort of reborn Tech priest that was

remade in the image of the guy who made

these mous train Gene Steelers generally

pretty well received body hor type

Miniatures Unfortunately they are made

of Forge World resin not plastic though

so that means that they're both a bit

expensive and a bit harder to work with

I feel like that is probably a factor in

limiting their appeal a bit even if the

sculps are rather cool ones beyond the

currently revealed or currently teased

things the picture is probably a bit

more murky in terms of the order of the

codexes but given 40 K's release

patterns they will be updated all the

codexes in the game going through them

one by one and giving them a new release

for 10th we've had quite a lot of the

most major and most played factions

though there's absolutely loads of them

left as mentioned it sounds like agents

of the Imperium is rumored to be next

I'd guess with Death Watch included in

that somehow unless they give them a

standalone book release and bring them

out at the same time theyve definitely

done that before with things like the

knights and beyond that we have the

blood Angel Space Wolves and black

Templars as the Divergent Space Marine

chapters remaining Astro militarium Grey

and Imperial Knights presuming gry

Knights don't get spoiled up in an

agents of the Imperium book it seems

less likely given that they've got far

more models in their army and for the

ranks of chaos we have pretty much all

of them besides chaos Space Marines

death guard thousand Sons World eaters

and probably Emperor children as well if

they are indeed a new Army within 10th

chaos Knights and Chaos demons presuming

the demons aren't reinterpreted in God

specific codexes or anything and then

we've had really quite a lot of the zos

already as big armies with big

followings the only ones left are elari

Drew Cari and leagues of

votan timing wise there's nothing really

to suggest that Games Workshop will

abandon their fairly successful

threeyear editions and if that's the

case it's highly odds on that most of

these codexes will have come out within

the next 12 months or so so it does seem

that the pace of these might really step

up a bit I expect most of these to be

out next August for the equivalent for

ninth Edition the only one that was

after that were the astr militarum

cropping up and usually late in the

addition due to having a big release

wave in general Games Workshop tends not

like releasing codex is inste the last

12 months of an addition due to books

being partly invalidated by new rule

sets they given we had a hard read set

of the game for 10th edition the same is

far less likely to happen for 11th I

feel like any codex is for 10th edition

or odds on to still be game legal for

11th which at this point i' guess more

to be a sort of core rules update of the

sort of thing that we had from 8th to

9th in any case though for the Codex is

coming out basically all of these armies

I would guess will get at least one

miniature release a new combat Patrol to

replace the one that they had in ninth

though often Games Workshop does seem to

try and make these combat patrols worse

than they were before I'd be kind of

surprised if say the Drew Cari one is

quite as good once they've redone it for

every codex in 2024 we've had a one

anddone Battle Force box set to come

with a character inside it or a whole

release wave of new Miniatures if the

arm is lucky enough to get one and so

far these have generally sold pretty big

so I guess they're going to keep them

coming as The New Normal typically Games

Workshop either tends to give a faction

either just a single character release

or major release wave with a bunch of

units coming at the moment we don't know

which ones will be the lucky ones out of

this list the as will get to I feel like

we've had some heavier hints for some

factions more so than others plus

there's odds on to be at least one new

Army this edition if not

more before we jump into a few more

specific codex things I thought I'd just

quickly mention the Channel's giveaway

for August and this one's going to be a

big night household style giveaway for

three winners to get a custom KN

household of they're choosing basically

picking any three plastic Knight made by

Games Workshop whether they're Imperial

or chaos or the big tall plastic sasus

ones and then any one big Knight can be

swapped out for four Armes or War Dogs

if you want a bit more of a blend

between the big Knights and the small

ones hopefully this one should be a good

way to start a new Army with around

about, 1500 points worth of models they

can be quite a fun and focus hobby

project being a good blank canvas to do

all sorts of crazy conversions and

things as however there'll be two equal

ways to enter the giveaway both of them

patreon for any amount each month it is

the main thing that allows me to keep on

making content as my full-time thing

with new videos out basically every day

that gets you automatic entry into the

giveaways each and every month otherwise

you can equally enter by supporting the

channel on social media completely for

done with a random number generator and

announced on the channel update video on

YouTube around the 4th of August and

I'll get in touch with the winners to

choose their nights and order them in

posting them out after that in any case

feel free to check out the links in the

video description if you'd like to enter

for this one and of course there will be

f giveaways each and every

month moving on to the few teasers of

the games work are given us of future

codexes though one of the single most

clear ones is Emperor's Children if this

one doesn't turn out to be a late 10th

edition release I'll be pretty surprised

there just very clear parallels with the

world eaters release that they got back

in ninth Edition the k space ring codex

came out curiously enough none of the

world eaters units were in it none of

the Corn Berserkers or kind the betrayer

they were given a stop Gap Index just as

Emperor children have been this time

around and then in the ninth Edition

closing Campaign World eaters came out

as their own codex with their miniature

release basically all of that just seems

to have happened for the Emperor's

Children this time around it has been

expected for really quite a long time

given that they're the last deity Legion

that hasn't got a bigger update yet and

the noise Marines and Lucius the Eternal

have needed updates since forever when

their book and launch does drop new

noise Marines Lucius the Eternal and

Demon Primark forgrim seem to be

absolutely 100% certain in my mind then

beyond that I'm sure we'll get plenty of

supporting releases i' say new

Terminators are odds on given that the

Thousand sons and death guard have them

raised cultist is something that all the

others have whether they're pox Walkers

Zango or Jackal all the other D Legions

at least have some themed characters

even if the world eaters just have the

one generic pick and then beyond that

there's plenty of other possibilities

son demon engines maybe a possessed

alternative similar to eight bound or

maybe some sort of unique Sonic dreadn

could be fun definitely lots of

possibilities I wouldn't be too

surprised if the range launch is kind of

small scale similar to World eaters

though it looks like they might not be

the only chaos Legion to be getting a

glow up in 10th edition though we've had

a very on the- noose teaser of thousand

suns autometer coming at some point

Games Workshop often lets us know about

Miniatures that are coming in the law or

in Cox art and things before they

actually come out with the Four

miniature and their law from the P Nexus

was just massively specific very clearly

talking about a class of autometer that

they can't field in their codex yet and

going really in depth on them the

narrative almost just felt a bit clumsy

just trying to build up these things far

more than they really needed to I think

that people would have been excited of

for thousand Sons autometer of any sort

but they basically went with a law

saying that they've re awoken these old

Tech things from days past maybe things

like their Arch castac sort of autometer

and then they messed around with them

with their Tech sorcerer Su running a

bunch of demons to infuse them with and

then once they've been in the P Nexus

they've both been harvesting bits of ab

make knowledge plundering some vaults

held by T priest and also acquiring

loads of black stone to infuse into them

as well just in case Games Workshop felt

like they hadn't built these guys up

enough to be weird demon engine psychic

Tech things already I'm not 100% sure if

these will definitely turn up in 10th

edition though I'd guess its odds on at

this point if so it to be good news for

the Thousand Sons they've really not had

a new release in a good long time now

since the big one with Magnus and the

Terminators and things they've only had

the infernal master in recent years I've

seen plenty of people speculating that

these rumor engines could represent the

Thousand Suns autometer that there

certainly could be something else like a

chaos Knight they basically have armor

plating of a sort of unusual weathered

kind of pattern they do look a sort of

mechanical chaos Type Thing by all those

barbs and Spurs and it's all speculation

saying that the things on the sort of

ankle joint that you can see on the left

on the front shim plate of that it

almost looks like the Thousand son's

green and blue line sort of things that

they have on their headdresses those

maybe a little bit hard to say for sure

in Gray scale definitely feels like a

one way to expand these thousand Sons

with extra units and options it both is

a nod to their past and also doesn't

really detract from the majority of the

Legion being rubric Marines as well for

the elari had shared to me what looks

like a sculpt for the new azaman

miniature one of the many Phoenix Lords

that they still need to update alongside

a bunch of aspect Warriors I was asked

by The Source not to show the image

though I think that it's probably

legitimate and I guess that at least

he'll be coming alongside the Codex the

for elari player sakes I hope that it

comes with quite a lot of other fun

stuff as well would be really nice if

they managed to round out the update of

the aspect Warriors warp spiders are one

of the oldest Miniatures in Warhammer

40K right now and swooping Hawks and

fire dragons need some love too as to

the other Phoenix Lords I think there's

a good chance that eldari gets a big

release in 10th edition as Games

Workshop often seemed to release armies

in sort of two phases a big release one

edition followed by a slightly smaller

release for the same faction the Edition

after and lari certainly got a big

release last Edition so this could be

the more followup one if they're

lucky another strong possibility for a

larger release could be the blood angels

like the Dark Angels they were kind of

limited in how they came out due to no

generic primaris versions of the units

that they want chapter specific versions

of it just seemed unlikely Games

Workshop would come out with unique

primaris death company and sanguinary

guard until we had the regular primaris

assault Marines out on offer and now we

have the jump intercessors if they

follow the sort of Dark Angels pattern

of release it might mean that we get a

sort of mediumsized but incomplete

update of the faction this time around

maybe some characters and some of their

unique units reimagined but not all of

them it looks like the Dark Angels

basically had the death Wing side of

their army plus a few other bits redone

and then the Raven Wing side of the army

plus a zeko will most likely come out in

the 11th Edition seems at least there's

a fairy good chance of similar for the

blood angels and Games Workshop also

have shown off this rum engine picture

of some swooping parchment there quite a

lot of possibilities for this people

saying sisters a battle or Dom cast

aernal for it though it certainly not

applies to anything of those so far the

prosecutors for age of sigar didn't have

these plus it does look kind of similar

but doesn't actually appear to

correspond to anywhere specific on the

celestian sacran avalin miniature the

parchment and things look a bit

different without tears in them like

this one does and no one part of the

miniature seems to match up with the

sort of text notes and the things on

this image it could easily fit in with a

new sanguinor or asath for the blood

angels if so then hopefully that's not

all they get it' be really cool to see a

major release

wave for other teasers the guard have

got a whole slew of different rumor

engines that seem to be applying to them

most of these rumor engines on the

bottom right here feel like they could

easily apply to the asttr militarum

probably more so than the rest maybe the

sort of maybe bandage dispensing Servo

skull thing might be a bit less specific

though whatever they're guessing it

looks like at least one thing is some

sort of Fairly good siiz terrain diarama

type thing looks like there's a big

sculpted Scenic base for whatever it is

some bll that lays fortifications a

whole bunch of sandbags and grenades and

things and possibly that Minefield

marker could also be from the same thing

kind of intrigued to see what that would

be feels like it would probably have to

be at least a fairly big miniature

unless we're getting something like Yar

on a ridiculously big Scenic base

perhaps otherwise there's a bullet

riddled standard that also looks

incredibly guard appropriate maybe some

sort of other command squad for a

different regiment or a banner Bea

character maybe the servo skore could be

for some sort of medic like a new

reimagined death core quartermaster

perhaps but realistically that could be

for anything else from the Imperium and

not even necessarily core 40K could be

something more kill team or necr

focused for other codexes leagues of

votan seem very likely to get a wave too

there are another Army that had a good

initial release wave but people are

expecting plenty more to come from them

in 10th edition again this TR me is one

of the armies that get a fairly big

release wave and then follow up with a

smaller one the next Edition maybe kind

of similar to what we had with with

sisters of battle I say it's odds on

that they get a unit of jump pack

releases as we have this guy from The

Kill team set that both show us What

leagues of vot and jump packs look like

and also just confirm that they have

them in the first place and if so then

why wouldn't they fill some units of

them maybe other more likely things

could be some sort of Walker or perhaps

a land speeder type vehicle it could be

other good options to fill out their

roster with any 40K release probably

odds on to get more characters to go

alongside as well maybe one of which

could explain this hologram rumor engine

that we had that people seems to think

clicked with leagues of votan sort of

look for the hologram projector more

than most this kind of broadcasting an

image of the Fortress of redemption so

maybe trying to besiege some Imperial

Enclave I feel like that one's a bit

shaky to declare votan at this point

though definitely could apply to plenty

of stuff for the world eaters I

certainly hope that they get a follow-up

release wave as well they they get a

good core of their army in ninth Edition

but still are an army that have less

unique stuff than even the Thousand Sons

even if bunch of their things are ports

from age of Sigma in the past one

miniature release that seems basically

100% confirmed in my eyes is the

Berserker surgeon these things were

mentioned in the law all over the place

in the last World eer release

maintaining the butcher's Nails being

the ones that make the eight bound and

basically functioning as the depraved

apothecaries of the Legion to try and

make them into a actual functioning

fighting force and perhaps make sure

that their anger and rage is focused on

the enemy and recruiting New World

eaters to the ca will be nice to have

another HQ in the roster will'll be

interesting to see what they could do

leading corn Berserkers or maybe eight

bound I guess if they're involved with

the creation of them otherwise for the

world eaters another rumored thing are

Juggernaut Cavalry again I say there's

probably a good chance for this one

given that we had a juggernaut Lord and

Lord inaras just maybe feels a bit more

appropriate if they had some Cavalry to

go alongside and certainly for the ninth

Edition codex it was kind of conspicuous

that the world eaters basically had no

fast attack whatsoever besides chaos

spawn games work maybe don't super often

allow Cavalry to lead infantry this

addition it does happen time to time for

things like Lord Ser leontes for example

but even he at least has the option of

leading Rough Riders in any case I think

it would be pretty awesome if they had

some cornate steeds to lead into battle

it did appear that they were teased in

the artwork as well at least having

other Maniacs with chain axes M on

steeds and following along in the wake

of the guys leading the chge really

hoping that world eers get another big

release wave though we be F to see some

things like red butcher's Terminators

potentially as well which were a bit

disappointing when they didn't come out

with them in ninth and i' absolutely

love to see some sort of medium-sized

demon engine maybe similar to what the

death guard got perhaps a

reinterpretation of the for World blood

Slaughter one kind of anti- relase that

Games Workshop is probably going to be

doing in 10th edition to bear in mind

are the 42 removals as each codex has

dropped so far games work have basically

taken the axe to rule support and often

miniature kits for basically any four2

Miniatures in Warhammer 40K that aren't

a Titanic super heavy sort of scale so

the necrons just kept their syp

construct the Orcs just kept their gantu

and Squig and basically everything else

got removed otherwise Marines chaos and

Tower have all taken some pretty major

losses so far the rules for their other

units have been going to Legends and for

World scope has been redirected to focus

on really big stuff for 40K things that

are more sort of Titanic scale plus

things like heresy the old world and

their skirmish games as armage that are

going to be most affected by this are

the Imperial Guard and the elari both of

those still have really quite a large

Forge World Range as they go the Astro

militarum in particular which still have

an enormous amount of Forge World tanks

of various descriptions and plenty of

other fun support vehicles I feel like

that will be a heavy blow if that just

went on Master Legends though it seems

likely same for the alari with some fun

stuff like supporting Hornets or Shadow

specters seems likely that anything that

doesn't pass the of super heavy scale

Mark is probably going to go the way of

Legends and probably a fair few of the

kits discontinued on top of that similar

kind of things have been happening to

the Fine cast kits in 40K games where

really do seem to be trying to push

their core 40K game just to be pure

plastic as much as possible for the

future and again as most codex have come

out most of the fine cast resin relics

have been removed from the range one by

one say for example a cluster of necron

characters when they came out or the Old

Town ethereals like orvar and Ori or or

special characters like boss zag struck

or mad do grotsnik to my mind though it

certainly makes the things that stayed

in this rotation kind of conspicuous and

my guess is that any of the finecast

kits that have remained in the range are

probably at some stage in the future

going to get a plastic release though I

guess for the already released codexes a

whole bunch of those are probably going

to come in 11th edition if they do

indeed wind up happening there' be a few

particularly good examples could be the

space RS Kato aarius who we did see

artwork of him in primaris form in the

past here on black heart for the chaos

Space Marines who doesn't even have a

miniature on sale but it's really quite

a big figure in the law I wonder if he

could maybe come back as sort of say a

campaign series like we had at the end

of 9th and perhaps similar for TR and

the infinite he alone survived the

nekron finecast character Purge it did

just seem very unlikely that gamees

Workshop would remov him and not update

his miniature at some stage so my guess

is that he been kept in the Codex as a

bit of a placeholder and his miniature

will be released at some point whether

or not it's later in 10th as a random

release or whenever the next necron

codex happens in

11th while we're looking to the slightly

further future as well another P staple

releasing games workshops calendar and

maybe while it feels weird to be talking

about Christmas in July it does mean

that the reveal of these which normally

comes in November is only around about 4

months away now even if no doubt there's

a bunch of stuff to come before then in

games workshops recent history they've

generally done 6ish Warhammer 40K ones

each year these tend to skew towards

armies that are often a little bit more

popular than some and particularly ones

that got a biggish release in recent

history over the past couple of years

they've tended to include at least some

fairly new Miniatures in the box sets to

add to their appeal Space Marines tend

to be the most likely to get a Battle

Force box but they haven't always been

particularly well received like the sort

of fast attack one that they had last

year we already have both Marines and

tyranis last year to time with their

releases and I guess for armies that

have had big releases this year we've

had dark Dark Angels and then Tower and

crout I would not be surprised to see

something like a Dark Angels box set

with Lion l Johnson in it or maybe a

tower release either with commander

farsight who was a fairly recent

miniature or possibly with crew allies

I'd guess probably one or the other

rather than both but who knows in any

case though if any factions do get some

big releases over the next few months at

least a reasonable chance they might

come out with a Christmas Box for

them one other thing that people have

been kind of expecting might happen at

some point is a mechanicum release for

40K Games Workshop does enjoy adding

entire new factions into the game

obviously they tend to sell well as

nobody has them yet E edition gave us

custodes death guard and revamped

sisters which were basically an entirely

new Army pretty much and also made chaos

Knights more their own thing rather than

Renegade knights in ninth Edition we'

got two very clear new factions in World

eaters and leagues of votan and then in

10th edition is shaping up that will get

Emperor's Children it does make me

wonder if we're going to get a second

new faction alongside of it of which D

mechanicum just seems far more likely

than the other candidates to me I've

done a few videos over the years for

what sort of factions people would like

to see added to Warhammer 40K dark

mechanicum has often been towards the

top of the list and during the time that

I've been doing this game's Workshop

have ticked off quite a lot of the other

possibilities World eaters andum to be

Emperor's Children as giving the crw

some proper attention and the squats

returning as leagues of votan they've

certainly set up the 40K narrative to go

with that as well with vasor appearing

as a thing and doing the various things

across the Galaxy or looking for his

vault of super weapons it does feel like

they're setting him up to do something

major and having it a big narrative

stroke it also coincided with him

unleashing a new faction into 40K could

be a really good move for games work

drop playing the long game if they

wanted to I think if anything I'd be

more surprised if they didn't wind up

doing dark mechanicum at some point they

certainly wouldn't be too surprised if

they chose not to do it in 10th edition

and it was for later on sometime to me

it does feel like they're waiting in the

wings for or some point in the future

though finally again going by past

precedent Games Workshop will probably

do an end of Edition campaign after the

10th edition codex has come out it's a

fairly staple way of them basically

wrapping up each Edition as they've done

so far even if exactly what content

theyve put in the boook have been a bit

different aside from the law in seventh

edition we had the Gathering storm that

had the fall of Cadia and then the

return of Gillman in eighth edition they

had the psyche Awakening which

encompassed quite a lot of narratives

but the end of it focused on them

delving into the par Nexus and

discovering a bunch of necrons for ninth

Edition and then ninth Edition itself

wound up in arcs of omen fashor and

abdon going around building super

weapons and coinciding with the return

of angron and the return of the lion

these often tend to be a good way for

games work chop to wrap up an Edition as

that they usually don't want to be

releasing codexes just a few months

before the next Edition comes out

there's already enough outcry when they

do it kind of close anyway as with the

Garden World eaters ones which came out

around about 6 months or so before the

launch of 10th if they do choose to go

with a big addition end campaign I'd

guess that would be probably when we're

going to see for Grim maybe in a similar

release slots to angr on and the world

eaters and if ARX of omen is any

precedent then is a good chance for

other big character releases from the

law as mentioned previously I really

wouldn't be surprised to see some of

either Kato sarius h on blackhe heart or

TR in the infinite come back if they

decided to get them mixed up in the

narrative somehow I'm sure Games

Workshop will keep the prim marks coming

and after the loyalist ones it would

seem most likely for Leman Ross to come

back given that out of the major

diverent chapters rogal Dawn will be the

one for the black Templars and he

Imperial fist really the Death Watch

don't have them and the blood angels

have the loss of sanguinius at the very

center of their backstory so I'd guess

that maybe a big reinterpreted sanguinor

might be the best that they could get

given that the Space Wolves have an

entire Army and miniature range it does

seem highly likely that Ross will be the

next one even if plenty of the other

loyalists could turn up again I'm sure

people would love to see Vulcan and a

feir like he would be a good choice but

I just can't see them doing him before

Ross comes out in any case Again jotting

by ninth Edition and eighth edition sort

of time frames would expect this one to

be around about something like 6 months

before the launch of 11th Edition so

around about 18 months from now with

lots and lots of codex ser and major

Army release waves in the

meantime in any case hope you've enjoyed

a bit of a Roundup for my expectations

of 10th edition to come starting out

with a few more definite things and then

going off to the things for lots of

possibilities fingers cross Games

Workshop won't keep us too long and

giving us a bit more definite

clarification at least for the near

future really looking forward to finding

Inquisition and any codex road maps that

they might be generous enough to throw
