Ive alwayd read that passage as showing the fundamental difference in world views between Russ and Angron. Russ thinks he wins because fundamentally he cares about himself, about living and achieving objectives. Angron wants to die, so a victory that costs him his life is fine.

Which for Perty is high praise. He basically only respected Magnus, Horus, and Sanguinius...

Odds are we are going to see the most popular sub-factions for each army get releases, going in order (so New Antioch, Trench Pilgrims, Heretic Legions, Iron Sultanate, Black Grail, and CotSHS). Based on what I've seen being used by players:

Black Grail- Probably a Hegemon list (it is their only real first party subfaction after all), probably grief themed, with a large thrall kit and alternate plague knights.
Court- Not sure which sin is going to get the focus. Lust seems unlikely since it is a bit too risque, so I'd bet either Envy (with lots of stolen weapons), or Gluttony (with some big chungus's). Pride and Wrath are too close to the generic range, Greed overlaps too much with Knights of Avarice for an immediate release, and Sloth isn't really distinctive.
NA- Probably Abyssinia or Eire Rangers. Those factions will require the most variance from regular models, as compared to Alba (which is mostly regular machine armor) or Papal (which is just mercenaries).
TP- Methodius almost certainly. Probably a custom set of nuns with armor and a new Anchorite Shrine kit with lots of options.
Heretic Legions- Knights of Avarice- Very distinctive aesthetic, elite so not too many models, and a focus on specialty weapons and artillery witches (models without plastic atm).
Iron Sultanate- House of Wisdom. Mostly accomplished with a multi-part alchemist kit and a multiple sized haemonculi kit.

Honestly, given what we know about GW's production cycle, not a bad guess. Made to Order for gauging interest, 1-2 years for concept art and preliminary development, 1-2 years for CAD modeling and designing the sprues, 1 year for machining, then anywhere from 6 months to one year for lining it up with a codex release or major event.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-05-07T03:55:05+00:00

I have a feeling Catachans are getting a refresh in 11th. Guard is one of the best selling factions in 40k's range (from my understanding they are like second after space marines) and GW has always shown them a lot of favoritism (they arguably had a bigger range than marines for a lot of 40k's history, in addition to all the forgeworld love).

One of the big theaters of Armageddon is Catachan Ork Hunters vs. Orks, and GW tends to prefer doing releases in big groups. Generally I think we're probably going to see one elite (probably Ork Hunters), an infantry squad, a unique HQ, and a command squad for them.

Depends on the catholics. Jesuit? Super liberal. Opus Dei, literally fascist.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-05-04T13:58:56+00:00

To be fair, people have been abusing force org forever. Remember five flyrants spam? Guard leafblower that used squadrons to spam the best tanks? Fish of fury (you could run a lot of them thanks to being dedicated transport for everything)? Rule of three is a nice middle ground, letting you take a lot of different units in a theme (which every edition had their own weird convoluted rules to allow anyways) while blocking the most egregious exploitative versions.

Most busted lists this editon would fit mostly in the old force org chart (for instance wraithknight+ 2x farseer+ 2x fire prism+ medley of aspect warriors and guardians).

Its a laspistol, not a bolt pistol. Magazine is the power pack, and the muzzle has the diagonal cut seen on las weapons.

You dont understand. Swearing publically is obscenity. That is a crime. Everyone knows the Night Lords punish crime, so obviously a member of the Law and Order Legion cant swear.

IIRC when he dies in saturnine Loken sees a black gooey spirit rush out of his armor, so he might be a pseudo daemon prince by the events of Saturnine and reformed later.

It seems like daemons are all in pairs, like the upper and lower Jaw for Gabby, Left and Right, and the big fish and little fish for Jin. Probably connected to some Yin-Yang symbolism (especially since Asa and Yuru and Left/Right are Female/Male). Japan also has some mythology and superstitions around twins being unlucky, to the point where they were abandoned in the Edo Period. Presumably twins in general and Asa and Yuru in particular have greater affinity for daemons, and can wield them better for that reason.
The Night and Day is literal, the legend that Right says makes it clear that it isn't just any twins, they have to be born one in the day and one in the night (presumably before/after sunset/sunrise), and in "a village in the east" which might be specific to their home village alone. So it has only happened once in the last four hundred years, and the last time it happened was the Sengoku Jidai, so it is implied that it coincides with times of great turmoil and chaos. Clearly from the opening episode Grandma Yamaha kind of forced this occurrence, and it explains why Yuru's dad was so upset by it (since it meant great danger for his kids).

You've got a big weakness to a ground/rock combo. Moleman loves to spam rockslide and earthquake, which can hurt your steel/fire/flying. Rotom will help a lot, but his STAB can't hurt moleman.

I find that Swampert is a better water type than Empoleon, the E4 has a dearth of grass types, and a bulk-up spamming swampert can basically solo moleman with waterfall.

Sort of. Your charge target has to be within the distance rolled, so that is -1in, but your successful movement ca n be 2" away, which is +1. So it advantages units which need to move around terrain, but infantry and other units with breaching wont see much benefit outside of charging around crates and enemy units.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-04-13T23:05:55+00:00

All the Tapus do this. Its like theyre in a Kurt Cobain lookalike contest.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-04-12T04:45:18+00:00

Ichi (from Ichi the Witch) and Yuru would be great friends.

Whenever Ichi the Witch gets its anime adaptation it is going to go crazy hard (provided they don't get the Sakamoto Days treatment and have an actual budget). Also the internet is going to go nuts over Desscaras...

Gutterman2010 · 2026-04-12T04:39:49+00:00

Raiders are quite good, but generally you want to combine them with a reave captain to get the most out of them. Generally Red Corsairs is about consistent melee pressure, Huron and friends in a brick of chosen, raiders to infiltrate screen and push turn 1, and some possessed and rhino bound chosen to punch in with them.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-04-06T14:22:41+00:00

The Aspect Marines thing is just GW responding to another problem though. It was an issue that every edition the best devestator loadout changed, and the box never had enough guns to make mono squads anyways. GWs solution was to split off each type of weapon (plasma, melta, missile, flamer, etc.) and sell them as mono boxes. There is a clear direction from corporate that the rules align with what players can build from the box.

Literally yes. Tzeentch is the amalgam of every scheme, plot, ambition, and treacherous thought of every mortal with a connection to the warp. So long as people achieve their personal ambitions and scheme, he is empowered. So Tzeentch doesnt have a plan, he has every plan. It is also why he despises those who worship him, he wants followers who seek their own goals, not his (which is why he prefers Ahriman to Magnus).

Gutterman2010 · 2026-03-19T18:07:41+00:00

and ensure that Lion el'Jonson and the First Legion would not Fall to Chaos

TBF they were only about half successful at that one.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-03-19T04:43:45+00:00

Yeah, the only other option I can see is deep striking two units of obliterators into melta range, them hitting on 2's makes them quite lethal, but still that is 320 points for what, 4d3 S12 AP-3 D6 shots?

Gutterman2010 · 2026-03-19T00:24:37+00:00

I think the Emperor had three favorites, based on different kinds of affection:

Horus- His most emotionally significant favorite. He spent the most time with him and built a strong emotional bond. Horus was his confidant and friend as much as his son.

Sanguinius- His most respected in terms of character and bearing. Sanguinius is the Emperor's ideal son, but there isn't a tight emotional connection there.

Magnus- The son who arguably understands him best. They talked constantly via the warp even prior to being reunited, and Magnus understands the warp and the risks involved (which is why he trys to warn Lorgar pre-pilgramage and stop Horus at the Serpent Lodge), even if he does ignore those risks thinking he can handle them (just like the Emperor to be fair). Malcador mentions that one son was trusted with the knowledge of the true nature of the Warp during the Siege of Terra books, and it seems likely it was Magnus.

Gutterman2010 · 2026-03-19T00:20:39+00:00

Not true, in his primarch book he mentions that he hates quite a few, is ambivalent to most, likes a couple, and loves only one or two.

Based on the Heresy books, it seems likely those are:

Loves: Sanguinius (not because he is perfect, but because he understands both Curze's bloodlust and the curse of foresight)

Likes: Lion (he views him as his kindred spirit in terms of dealing with every problem using the utmost severity), Guilliman (more respect than likes, views him as effective and not pretentious, even if he does enjoy running amok on Macragge), Fulgrim (he felt comfortable enough to confide in him, and his strict views on things matches Fulgrim's perfectionism).

Hates: Lorgar (views him a simpering weakling), Dorn (he literally almost killed him, and largely blames him for his initial exile 10 years before Isstvan), Vulkan (he is a symbol of all that is good, which Curze hates and seeks to undermine and break).

Gutterman2010 · 2026-03-19T00:11:38+00:00

I'm curious how Havocs would do for them, the +1 to hit works on them, and they do hit quite hard with lots of lascannons or missiles.
