Though apparently the switching sides thing was only on BoLS so take that with a bigger mountain of salt.

Yeah, DakkaDakka likes to straight up shit on people referencing rumor sites and whatnot, so I tend to read through them, roll my eyes, and look for intelligent conversation. Whiiiich usually means me coming over here to see what you guys think.
I tend to read everything with a 'well that'd be cool, but I'll wait to see what happens', but some people get REALLY heated over stuff. You'd think talking about the Primarchs is the next Presidential election.
Starting to bring just one big named character from the past into the actual gameplay fold is exciting, but it also opens the floodgates to what else could be in the mix. I'm just excited to see what happens next.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of more than Mortarion coming back there, though. More Daemon Primarchs is sort of expected, but i don't think they'd bring back the other Loyalist ones.
As for the "Age Of the Emperor" rumour there, that has got to be one of the worst W40K rumours I've ever read, especially with what it would mean for the setting. That's the sort of thing someone who doesn't overly like and doesn't understand the setting would make up. That's basically asking for them to AoS the setting and get rid of it all.

El'Johnson would turn. Him and his filthy Dark Angels have been hunting Cypher, the true hero FYI, for ages. Those guys are dirty. I've said it from the start.

I could perhaps see something like that happening, but the part about a traitor Primarch changing sides doesn't make a lot of sense.

I never trust BOLS when it comes to rumors.
Lion "Loyalty is its own reward" El'Jonson? Nahh.
Corvus and Russ have been in the Eye of Terror for almost ten thousand years. Or maybe Khan got tortured insane by the DE after he disappeared into the webway.

And still not as corrupt as the Lion!

I was just reading the new Inferno book from a friend and the Ordo Sinister is one of the scariest things I have read in 40k.

That's the Titan Legion which are basically giant Psychological Warfare engines right? I just remember their logo being awesome...

That's the one!
I'll have to give Inferno a read then. I'm behind on my reading anyways.
Also... logo is totally awesome.

Scans of the next months White Dwarf have surfaced! They say that Guilliman is the first loyalist Primarch, but I'm not sure if that means that more are definitely coming or if it's just a wording goof.
I misread desired as deserved and it changed everything for a brief moment.

That's dark even for 40k, lol
For some reason I did exactly the same, and didn't realise the difference until you pointed it out now. Completely changes the meaning!

Another thing to note is the halberd and the Dark Angel symbol in that image.

Marneus Calgar is Ultramarine in terminator armour.
Looks like big hair is that eldar chick.

Yep.

Do you think the halberd is Custodes or a dark angel? Shady figure in left looks like it could be that new grey knight character.
ShadowSwordmaster
Banned
The shady figure on the left looks like a Custodes by the look of his armor. I have no idea on who is wielding the halberd.
That's super cool. Makes me wanna start an army of Fallen Angels!

Why would Tau be considered "Desperate Allies" but Orks and Necrons are "Allies of Convenience"? Why would they hate the Tau more than those?

Cool. I wonder if we will get a Fallen Angels codex in the future.

Sorry for the double post, but we have a list of characters in the new Gathering Storm book.

Do you need to read through fall of cadia and fracture of biel tan in order to read in this new book? I hear there is a rumor that a certain beloved bad guy dies
Not really, a synopsis at most. But that rumour has been proven false I believe.

I've not read Horus series in years. I'm like 15 books behind now. I started a book about the chapter that casts magic in some desert planet but never finished it.

Yeeeah, you really gotta power through some of those books and be prepared for very little pay off in some cases.

I finished the first GG book yesterday. I don't know if I could say that Dan Abnett is my favorite BL author but I guess I understand why he's so high up there for so many people. I was surprised/happy to see characters from Eisenhorn either show up or get mentioned. Though some of the things did wrap up too quickly there at the end (Fereyd's fate, Heldane's fate), I loved that the book had a conclusion that felt like it last more than two pages; it felt like Gaunt and his fireteam were in the tunnels for a while. Like Gaunt himself, I also did not see the twist with Col Flense coming and thought that the cause of the Jantine shame was a lot more simple.
Overall: A+. I liked it a lot. I went down to the garage to sort through that bundle of 41 books that I bought last summer and find Ghostmaker but I didn't see it. I just checked my messages from when I bought them though and there should be a copy in there, so I'll have to look for it and start it soon. I've got the first 8 books, up to Traitor General I believe, and feel like burning through more of those before I return to the Ultramarine omnibus that I started a while back.
EDIT: Just read those spoilers. Pretty intense stuff that Gorrilamon had to go through.

If there is one thing that I hate about the Warhammer 40k community is the need to have memes in everything. I get you want to be funny, but you just suck at it.

Wow, so the

Sisters of Silence
What have they been doing for the last few thousand years, just chillin?
ShadowSwordmaster

We don't know yet. I would assume they are in the shadows. They were mention in Wrath of Magnus.
Probably. They supposedly went extinct in the War of the Beast, as the Orks hunted down their hidden fortresses which the Imperium didn't even know that existed. The last Sister dies in the final battle against the Beast.
Must've had some ultrahidden fortress elsewhere. The joys of an unreliable narrator.

I would assume it's on Terra since that is what the big surprise at the end of Wrath of Magnus
Not sure if this is new but GW just posted this on Warhammer Community
Warhammer Community Article
I'm really happy they're selling Custodes and Sisters of Silnce in plastic by themselves now. Instead of buying The Burning of Prospero box. (or buying from Forge World)
Kind of Bummed that the Contemptor Dreadnought is just the regular one and not the cool forgeworld one and that either of the vehicles aren't grav tanks but I digress.
(Also, from a lore perspective shouldn't their armor be black if it's meant for 40k, since they changed the color in mourning of the Emperor and their failure to protect him?)
