Damn, they couldn't have showed him to us? It looks like an extremely slick model - dude running around with a C'tan shard, I think - but like... why no full photo, gdubs?

Little put off that that teaser for the Silent King from a couple weeks back was a teaser for a teaser. Fuck off with that.
All in all, that was a hell of a wet fart. BIG REVEALS, BIGGEST EVER! Here's one new model, one redone model and a teaser for another model. Also, there's more books coming out.
The leaks were the best part of today. I would have been fine with the first two if they showed off the silent king properly but that was such a shit move.
Most exciting bit was Dawn of Fire for me. Name is a bit generic but just that it's focused on new material for the narrative, and picking up some of the existing plot threads from studio publications and having decent writers like Guy Haley expand on them, is interesting to me. I find the writing in the Codices themselves adequate at best as it has to truncate everything due to space limitations.
Agreed, let's talk about the leak instead
So, that's the Silent King in the top right. I'm not super familiar with the 'cron line, so what else here's new? Angel thing got some commentary earlier. I recognize the big, 4 legged walker right next to the Monolith, and the croissant in the top left is familiar.OMG OMG OMG
A lot of new stuff in that blurry little pic! :O
Is the croissant fighter familiar through taking design notes from some of the Necron ships from Battlefleet Gothic?
Hard to say, but I think it's just one of their existing aircraft. Doom Scythe, Night Scythe. One of those.
It just looks like a plain Doomscythe to me. There also look like a Triarch Stalker just to the right of the monolith, so it's not the only existing model in the shot.
gw really needs a new marketing team in regards to "reveals".
it was piss, they really should've done a showcase of the models and reveals, even though it may be months away.

That cinematic was excellent except for the Primaris Marines proportions. Love seeing the effects of Necron weapons on those poor guardsman.
Also, looks like the primaris bikers were shown in the website along with a gravus meltagun user.
good folks on bolter and chain sword looked throuhg warhammer 40k website elements found the below
Looks like the half the Primaris stuff for this wave.
The chaplain/executioner, another chaplain, an icon bearer of some sort, the Gravis Devastators (Melta), the Captain with the skeleton on his shield. the shield guys, the bikes, the assault Intercessors.

theres a primaris casius in that image. uhhh.
ultras getting revamped everything.

Reivers were always a thematic miss and tbh really hurt the launch of primaris marines.
shame, but they are going for sale. I dont think its worth my time to salvage them.
fyi the far left honor gaurd guy is a intercessor. his jaw sheild plate is slid up ontop of his helmet.
fyi
not sure if hes the casius or executioner guy
Well, the playester in the Discord I'm in said this:
"he is like a Primaris champion and not a chaplain
He is called the Judicar
And he is a beast
It's an elite choice not an HQ
And makes an enemy unit fight last"
Well, there we go then

Oh the whole range revamp leaked for necrons.its a bad pick though.
Necrons now have colossus's from starcraft 2

tbh I didn't like the new warriors faces so they don't work well as a specific model but I think they work very well as a horde just like that new pic.
And yeah, man this is going to be a super expensive starter set if its thatthe necrons box set army (and i think it is) along with all the primaris seen in the first pic here https://www.resetera.com/threads/wa...e-40k-era-there-is-only-war.614/post-34807539

I'd be very surprised if that's the marine starter force, that looks like 7 new kits (4 squads and 3 characters), but on the other hand, it's low model count and probably doesn't take up too much space, so it's kinda plausible...
At this point they've sold a stack of intercessors so I could totally see why they'd want a marine force of all new minis.
It's actually pretty close to Dark Imperium, just stealing from bolter and chain sword.
Obviously, this post was missing the ancient from both sets, but it's pretty close and this one has the assault intercessors doubled up, where Dark Imperium had one squad with doubled up units iirc (.ie 2 marines with the same pose and the sergeant).
Yeah you're both quite right, wow. Interesting stuff! Quite an exciting expansion set even for players that bought the last one, that's quite well thought-out.
That's likely the case, yeah. Depending on the contents and price of the box set, I'll either get that or pick up the Necrons on eBay. Or buy the box set and get Necrons on eBay too, lol.
I'd say its very likely with the assault intercessors being doubled up just like the infiltrators from Shadowspear.
Liking the big War of the Worlds style walker things.
Wonder if that little double barrel gauss weapon on the warriors is new or just an alternative look for a gauss flayer. It's not a blaster since the fade in pic with the bronze crons has a single new immortal just to the left of the warriors with a traditional blaster, so it could be something like a new stubby gauss carbine, or they could be doing something like as long as the rods have 4 pips it's a flayer, 8 it's a blaster, etc. so 2 rods with 2 energy pips is still a flayer. They also aren't split into separate warrior units from traditional flayer rifle users and it's rare for GW to show a unit with mixed weapons when it would almost certainly be an all or nothing swap option for a unit.
They did say that it's a new weapon on stream. Can't remember the name. Shorter range, higher damage, sort of a Gauss Melta?
So we're FINALLY getting a new C'tan model? Hot DAMN!
Space Marine stuff looks great too. Are those new Honour Guard???
