Good news! that's rumoured to be happening along with jump pack marines and some kind of new command squad

Oh, right, that reminds me.

We'll probably see a new Company Champion model, because the Company Champion gets its own datasheet despite being a weird one-off store anniversary model, and that whole thing really seemed like it was supposed to release after the general-release new company champion model came out but COVID supply chain difficulties delayed the general release one.

Apparently there is a Primarch in the reveal lists, according to the announcement email. But that's probably for 30k.

I like that they’re going back to modular kits with lots of options rather than the complex but ultimately monopose kits they’ve been doing more of

And new Scouts. Now that's unexpected.

And they even just look like regular scouts. But with updated sculpts. That's neat.

That was a loving rollercoaster. As the target market for Fulgrim, I went from mentally budgeting him into Q4 to hard pass on the word resin.

Well, as a Raven Guard collector I got almost everything I wanted, even the thing I was sure I wasn't going to get (scouts). Also, hey, five man jump pack squads, not three-man. That's very nice of you, GW. Also, another terminator captain? I guess they don't want people with termie captains to be locked into the scenic standing-on-a-screamer-killer-head base.

Very surprised to see no assault terminators. GW's hesitance to give primaris marines other than Kayvaan Shrike access to lightning claws continues apace. I'm starting to think this is a branding issue; they may want to keep claws associated with chaos marines, and keep non-chaos marines wielding cleaner and healthier looking weapons.

Kind of unsurprised to see no new infernus multipart kit, as much as I was predicting otherwise. It's a weird troops choice.

Like the new jump packs, though yeah they'd look better if they went further over the shoulder. I spent so long terrified the new jump packs would just look like the things the Suppressors are wearing that these are fine by comparison.

Disappointed the jump pack captain can't take a thunder hammer.

Am not a fan of the new Mark III helmets.
