@ChapterMasterValrak 26 minutes of straight YAP. No, seriously, we should all be proud of Val. He finally got a video out at 25+ minutes. He's worked himself to the bone this week folks.
New models for White Scars? Ha! The next thing you’ll be telling me is hell is real, space is fake, and Santa and the Easter bunny are sharing a blunt at my local McDonald’s.
Alright, Votann player here. Let me run through what the predictions are. The only big character in the lore that we don’t have is the Embyr, a medic-type character responsible for taking care of the cloneskeins and watching for mutations and inbreeding. Could definitely see them as an apothecary type character. In the lore, we also have gunships that I could see being a ghost ark type flying transport. In the new votann novel, there are also drillers mentioned. It’s unclear if these are drill transports like imperial termite vehicles or teams with tunneling equipment, either could work. After that, they basically can come up with whatever and as long as it fits the aesthetic of votann it’ll be fine. My predictions come from basically looking at what we’re lacking/ what other factions have and filling in the blanks: - character to lead cthonian berzerks - character to lead hernkyn pioneers and/or yaegirs - more hernkyn range - more cthonian range - jump pack units (there’s one guy with a jump pack in the salvagers kill team) - dreadnought equivalent, either a mech or a giant ironkin - artillery? - and my personal hope, a big centerpiece robot that houses a fraction of the votann’s consciousness and gives out primarch-style buffs
im expecting a dreadnought and jump pack units, fingers crossed for a main battle tank (dont get me wrong i love me my hekatons but i dont really need a transport and i could use something with similar firepower but cheaper). I would love a big center piece model tho, that sounds kinda cool
The Embyr are described as being robed and armoured - similar to the Grimnyr. There are standard bearers in the art as well as a flyer/lander. Agree about the artillery- thud/quad guns and mole mortars. I’d say a pioneer character - with a long coat, possibly on a bike and a cthonian character are likely. Maybe a warlord in Exo armour and a named character or two. Other than that - walker/robots, jump pack troops and maybe a dedicated gun tank.
Prediction : - GW actually postpone the 11th edition to 2027 - Ultramarines get a new specialist Battleline - Emperor's Children will have its half army released from January to March - All Specific patron Chaos Space marines get release in Winter 2025 - Space Wolves getting even more wolfier
I'm all for them waiting till 2027 for 11th. We got a brand new game system basically and at the rate the books come out we won't even get a full 6 months of play with all armies having their full number of detachments
@@MessybubbleI mean, 10th edition hasn’t even been out for two years so I would also put 11th edition at 2027 just because it would fit within the three years timeline for every edition
I would love it, if they just let us have a full year to play with our codexes. The second the last codex in a edition is released, there should be a one year narrative campaign. Helping shape up some little narrative points of the next edition. Nothing major, but I feel like it would be a good hype up, and let get to use a codex, if it's the last one released in an edition.
@@SuperGingerLadthis would also allow them a full year to see what shenanigans players come up with over the year and what absolutely has to go in 11th. And what needs a lot of help to be viable.
100% agree on the Drukhari take. They need something with a real presence, that has a regal, decadent and disturbing tone. Love the faction on paper, but the range is a bit lackluster in departments we know GW can excel at. Look at AoS and Warcry, they have the talent needed in house already!
@ Yessir, he is a pretty perfect Drukhari centerpiece. Give him the presence of The Silent King, and more people would probably be pulled towards the faction!
i honestly dont get it it mindblowing. Its so easy for GW to turn people to Dark eldar if they just release ONE particualar centerpiece model and that i Asbrudael Vect. I understand that Drukhari are a niche faction with low player base but GW has been churning out models left and right even for factions and game systems that are far less popular, its astonishing that they just dont get it that releasing THIS ONE model will bring flocks of new players to the faction, people love new stuff...
- WE Lord on foot w/options - WE Lord in terminator armour w/options - Berserker Surgeon - multi-part Exalted Champion kit - Red Butcher Terminators - Teeth of Khorne (...dishonoured WE's who've had large caliber weapons surgically grafted to them so they can no longer engage in hand-to-hand combat & offer up skulls to Khorne) - Jugger riding loons - add in the Vindicator as an option please!! - NEW daemon engine of some kind We deserve that at a bare minimum... right now we're a complete joke of an "army" and are more or less just relegated to being 'Angron's Stag Party' with every damn list being Angry Ron himself, a dozen or so 8bound and their ten best Berserker drinking buddies >.>
Okay okay Votann player list: Lorewise we’ve seen gunships a lot in the lore. White Dwarf 500, High Kahl’s Oath bring up close support gunships with “darkstar bombs”. A tank and monster-hunting gunship with the hover rule would be clutch and fill a gap in our roster. Also from the lore, we hear a bit about the Embyr, the Kin responsible for overseeing the cloning process. An Embyr character that fills the medic role and make our units a bit tanker would be welcome. Outside of that I hear Kin players routinely ask for a dreadnought equivalent like the Necromunda squats have, jump pack warriors like the Salvagers Killteam has, and some bigger artillery to capture that classic dwarf vibe.
i feel like jump pack units are a given cause literally everyone else (i think) has gotten a jump pack unit of some sort, been the jump pack edition of wh
Deff Jump packs and we're getting a lot of art and lore about some sort of gunship. The Yaegirs did fill a nice gap with infiltrators. Could use a medic, a dreadnought (I have the Exo-driller for my necromunda campaign and it is aces), a vehicle that an iron master leading a squad can fit in, a non-transport tank, a flamer unit. I would not be against some Monster Unit or some Titantic unit. That would be fun. As for characters, a pioneer/warbike hero would be nice, a berserker hero either leading the cthonians or just being a solo menace, a sneaky hero (or that might be too much like Boss Snikrot, and another Epic Hero of some kind. Expansion of the Leagues getting stuff.
I think if they would do a white scars range would be: 1. Khan/ Khan on bike 2. Stormseer 3. a mounted and dismounted keshig/ bodyguard unit (maces and lances for mounted) (glaives and guns for dismounted)
@@birdguy1581 A Captain on Bike is a must-have just for ANY SM army with Outriders. Having a potential upgrade sprue to give a Khan on Bike option for White Scars would be 👌👌👌 Ditto for the Stormseer. They are very different to standard Librarians, so having a WS Stormseer in plastic would make a nice Character option (currently using the HH WS Stormseer Consul. Lovely mini, just a pain he's in resin).
Votann have a jump pack mini in their Kill Team, but no squad of them. So, a jump pack squad with a character would make sense. There's rumor engines that look like a Votann mechanic of some sort. They're also missing a Dreadnought equivalent.
After a really positive end of year with SM2, secret level and the Cavill announcement it's sad that some retailers are dropping GW products, let's hope they can sort out these issues with GW.
Lots of stores are getting shafted by gw business practices (dumping over printed model boxes to discounters-skaven tide - after forcing stores to order max amounts them as an example) and I can’t blame them.
For Deathguard I would like to see a unit that callbacks to the Legion Destroyers from Horus Heresy. Or just another unit in power armor in general, a little variety besides characters (also for the Thousand Sons).
As a Votaan player, I'm hoping for a few new character models and some more diverse units. We could definitely use some kind of big walking gun battery equivalent, a true tanks and in general just some units that really sell the Space Dwarf vibe. Lore Wise we don't have a whole lot at this point that doesn't have a model equivalent but for me I think what we need is some models that encourage different styles of play for us and makes it so we aren't all running the same units. I do agree though with a comment below that a giant Mecha-Sized Ironkin would be an awesome centrepiece model, or some kind of Votaan Shard. It would also be cool if we had some kind of big crazy Dark Age of Technology artillery piece. Maybe something stupid like a 'Singularity Catapault' that shoots miniature blackholes.
So for votann we want a flyer, there is one on the codex art. Hopefully a gunship/transport build. We want a dedicated tank/artillery. Probably we will get a jump pack unit. We want some more elite units, I believe there is one called embyrs or something in the lore which is psyker based. And we want a big mech or bigger robot unit. And then also a big hq/centrepeice type model. Hope that helps val! Please cover votann, I know you lost interest but they’re actually really popular! We just need that juicy wave 2 ❤️
Mentions White Scars - my immediate confirmation that The Khan is returning, a unique elite biker unit and more characters 100% confirmed. As for Votann, our kind of wishlist would be along the lines of: - Dreadnought type unit - Flyer (seems to be artwork of them) - We have a single, albeit pointless outside of KT, jump pack model - I imagine that will become a unit. - Characters - we have one named character that shares a kit with the Khal, would like to see named characters that cover the other types of characters, a named Grimnyr, Iron-Master, etc. - Possibly one of those "commemorative" models for our new book. I'm also torn on if I want either a dedicated tank model or a more dedicated transport model - as we effectively have a Landraider and a Razorback currently as a Marine comparison. And they're awkward for different squad sizes etc. Especially as many of the characters you want to put in have little underlings that count towards the transport limits. (either that or an upgrade sprue for the Land Fortress that just puts a cap over the two big weapons on the top and "fixes" the transport capacity - let me take 6 thunderkyn and Iron-Master or 10 Hyrthguard + character!
World eaters need a surgeon, red butchers in some way, a termie lord and a lord on foot. I'd like to see some kind of jump infantry, a jump lord and bikes as well.
You saying you haven’t heard anything for dark eldar is the most defeating news I’ve heard. There was a big rumor that they were gonna be the big bad of the 11th Ed starter set but this news of nothing is very worrying.
I'm so hoping we get a proper Pedro Kantor model. I've converted one but it's far from perfect. I've just finished building and painting some Blood Angels Assault Terminators so would be nice to see an official update. Maybe alongside Space Hulk 2025. I think next year is gonna be a hot year for Chaos I'm excited finally for Emperors Children and already have practised a method that gives good results. Can't wait for 25th.
In the 8th edition death guard codex there was a hell of a lot of characters described and one of them even got model in 9th edition, that's Lord of Virulence, but there also was Lord of Poxes, more variants of sorcerers, and also didn't get a proper Lord of Contagion separate kit (because f*ck Lord Felthius). But I think that would be TOO MUCH characters, personally I would like to see death guard possessed or even maybe jump pack plague marines (cause why not?).
Wish they would explore more forms of sickness with DG. Everyone isn't thick and bloated when they get ill. Would make sense if we had skinny, malnourished DG as well with jump packs and maybe a possessed version where jumpacks is replaced with fly wings etc :)
I would love a new plague marine unit. Plague Marine havoc equivalent, possessed, etc. I pray to Nurgle we don't get a daemon character cause my god there is too many daemon characters. I'd accept even just a brand new daemon unit to spice that up, but new plague marine unit would be my most wanted option.
In the new High Khal's Oath book they mention: - Hernkhals that lead hernkyn prospects - some sort of kin driller with laser drills - a brokhyr ironmaster in a tunderkyn harness - votann dropships And more I can't remember.
In the new "High Kahl's Oath" book for League of Votann, a handful of new units are mentioned: Hernkahl (like a hernkyn kahl) drillers/diggers (I'm assuming like cthonian berserker counter parts) drilling machings tracked Sagittaurs Brokyr artillery of some form (left kinda vage as to the nature of it in the book) I think the Hernkahl is at the very least a likely candidate for a new Votann model
Best thing I can do to describe Votan's line is that we have a 2nd Edition Space Marine Army. Regular and Terminator Captain, Librarian, Tech marine, Basic Troops, Scouts, Terminators, Small Team Devastators, Attack Bikes, Khorne berserkers and a Razorback and a Land Raider equivalent for vehicles We will most likely be getting Jump Troops, if that Kill Team is any indication. What I WANT is a Dreadnaught equivalent, a land Speeder Equivalent, a predator equivalent, and some sort of indirect fire platform, like a vehicle dedicated to deploying the Kin Missiles from the Hekaton. I am also fascinated by the Ironkin as a concept, and would like to see a dedicated Ironkin unit that would be similar to a Horus Heresy Destroyer squad (Torrent capable Phosphex or Rad Weapons) or a Zone Mortalis Squad capable of taking and holding an objective with obscene OC and Invulns but small unit size and relatively weak or very short ranged weapons (Flamers, Rad Projectors, bolt shotguns, or Volkanites)
Votann Need (in generic terms): Leader on Bike/Trike Artillery Unit Heavy Walker Leader for Bezerks Flying/Hover Unit Wishlist: Train car for Hekaton Land Fortress to pull
for us codex marines i really would like a multipart kit chapter master and maybe in the data sheet you select a progenitor chapter for rules on table top, just wishfull thinking but that would be so cool.. oh and maybe a character dreadnought for us Iron Hands (maybe the one they stole from the imperial fist successor )
Votann desperately need a walker and/or tank type unit. Effectively Votann only have an Impulsor and Landraider equivalent right now, giving them access to something more paralleled to a Dreadnought and/or Predator would help them a lot to have more flexibility in terms of lists, detachment design, etc. They have a really neat mech with the Iron-Master (dwarf blacksmith) but doesn't really have the vehicles to flex it with. Hell I'd even take some sort of field gun at this point just having enough things to make the Iron-Master feel good to use. I'd also like a Pioneer character/leader. Outriders have the ATV and Chaplian on Bike, Ork bikers have the trike, Aldari have 20 different leaders on jet bikes. I think the Pioneer is probably the coolest model Votann have and giving them a leader/character/something to make a big Pioneer squad more interesting and valuable seems great and would play more into the whole explorer vibe some of the Votann line is going for.
Also Votann need a mech unit, its one of the most requested for some type of walker / dreadnought type heavy. Few of us hoping for a new heavy tank too
Votann Lore models -gunship -quad barrel like mounted gun Wants -dreadnaught like unit -jump pack infantry like one in the kill team -Beserk charcter -flyer -artillery piece -melee terminator -bike charcter -some ranged hero -shield and melee infantry
One thing that could give a boost to Harlequins, Drukhari, and Asuryani all at the same time is a new character model of a High Avatar that's on the same level of awesome as the new Phoenix Lords, stat-wise and model-wise.
I'm now convinced that GW wanted to release the other Votann half this year, but simply overlooked the models amid all the upcoming primaris Lt. models on that shelf. Let's hope for a 2026 release...hopefully...please... Edit: There's some items in the book we got that might get added to the game (light SPOILERS from here on) We currently lack Healers, dedicated anti-tank vehicles, artillery, flyers, something big like a baneblade rumours / mentions include: 1. Heavy Gunships have been mentioned the most. likely armaments from all the gathered sources: can carry a squad, has twin frontal Hylas cannons, darkstar / Grav bombs. 2. Mole mortars have been mentioned in the book, we already have mole grenade launchers with the berserks, so maybe a heavy weapons team. 3. The book mentioned field guns, don't know more than that. Hope its something like a thunderfire cannon (since we're a bit like old marines with heavy infantry and light vehicles) 4. Embyr are an infantry unit that has been mentioned a couple times now. Seems like they are some sort of healer that guard the cloning installations. Codex mentions that they have force fields. 5. The codex mentions colossus class war engines. Don't know what it do. Don't know what it is. Might lead to nothing.
What i think the Drukhari really needs is basically the fifth edition codex in models. Give us all the discontinue models in fine cast back. Then give us true born and ancient heamonculai. Then return ALL the characters gives us duke Sliscus, Vect on his Dais of Destruction (slave girls included), Urien Rakarth, Aurelia Malys, Kheradruakh, the Decapitator and Baron Sathonyx. (i think i got them all) Oh and that giant piece Drukhari unit the Tantilus plus any other forgeworld models that once where part of the Drukhari range (discontinued or not) bring them back as plastic and some nice rules. I think if we got that most Drukhari players would be happy with that.
If Thousand Sons are getting automata, it could be a corrupted version of the Castellax-Achea they have in 30K. They've done basic Castellax in plastic now, so it'd be easy enough for them to Chaos up those 3D assets. For World Eaters, they have Berzerker-Surgeons in the fluff, they're the guys responsible for implanting Butcher's Nails into new recruits. It's something I was hoping they'd get in the first wave of releases.
Space Wolves getting wolves with wolves on their shoulder pads guarding other wolves? Truly, the Fenrisian aesthetic remains uncompromised. Next up: Wolf-riding Blade Guard… called Wolf Guard, obviously.
For Death Guard, I'd love to see a death guard/nurgle themed sorcerer since the Chaos sorcerer in terminator armour is typically pretty solid for us but has zero Death Guard flare.
Votann wants or needs Rune smith Land train Large ironkyn unit (dreadnaugt) Flyer unit (space ship like from the book) Jump pack units Mining rig Non transport tank Votann already have ( Basic troops Terminator Tech priest Scouts Basic hero Terminator hero Small transport Big transport Bikes Heavy gunner squad Wizard In close unit These are off the top of my head but is a basic overview of what I hope votann get
Votann wishlist: Votann Flyer, Votann Dredd, More Grinyr options, Some more League characters. Demiurg for Tau Kill Teams, Voidmaster team for Kill Team. More 'big weapons and vehicles
For Votann I think a dreadnought equivalent centerpiece model could be good. I feel like they should flesh out their AI and robot parts of their faction that have a lot of potential
Based on the first killteam I'm sure Votann will get jump infantry but personally I'd like some heavier infantry or dedicated fighting vehicles and a dreadnought equivalent
Fluff-friendly stuff Thousand Sons are missing from their roster (remember, they only have 6 40k kits actually designed FOR THEM at the moment): - 1-2 bespoke daemonengine (the Mirrorfiend and Æther Ray stand out; the new detachment also mentions TS daemon engines...) - a Numerologist (tech sorcerer) character that buffs vehicles - a Rubricae Dreadnought (that can also be kitted as a psyker dread character; Rubricae Dreads are confirmed to still exist in 40k, psyker dreads TBD) - a 40k version of the TS castellax-achea automaton (THIS IS HEAVILY RUMORED TO BE COMING, and would synergize well with the Numerologist) - a melee-focused unit and/or an elite 3-6 model unit; I'd recommend we do two birds with one stone here and have something like Zoanthropes/Shining Spears/Tzeentch Screamers and get a 3-6 "elite" model, like sorcerers, on disc - the Thrallwizard Matriarchs (battleline chaff unit that TS can sacrifice for rituals; this would be like Jakhals or Poxwalkers. TS technically have Tzaangors on tabletop but remember this is an Age of Signar hand-me-down, Tzaangors weren't designed for 40k unlike Jakhals and Poxwalkers, who were) - perhaps a tzaanogre, lol - some heavy weapon rubrics - a new named character (that isn't Ahriman or Magnus, perhaps the star of an m41 political thriller set on Sortiarius/Planet of the Sorcerer's in Magnus's realspace empire, the New Kingdom) - it would make sense to have this be a "named" version of either the Infernal Master or the Numerologist (in the same way as Ahriman is essentially a "named" Exalted Sorcerer) - a hyper elite, very expensive unit of successfully restored-to-flesh Rubricae called "Lazarus Marines" Even with literally all of this, TS are sooo small today that they'd still have a smaller bespoke range than Death Guard launched with lol
Tiny Legend miniatures do primaris sized terminator assault kit upgrades that fit perfectly. I've got 10 TH/SS dudes on the painting table right now, can't wait to get them on the tabletop.
Ah, the Grey Knights. As a Dark Angels player, I have a respect for the Paladins because they might have done things that were not popular but they are a needed force who can do what others can't. Game recognises game.
Votann only have 1 named character who isn’t very good. Units wise, we need a dedicated tank unit, there are thudd guns and mortars in the lore which we could get. Probably going to get the jump pack troops from kill team set. We be nice to have an elite bodyguard type unit, and also some more ironkin units. Maybe like a dreadnought or something like what admech has, like the kastellan robots.
14:33 Harlequins Mimes as their own unit would be an absolute dream. Keep them simple with some Deep Striking shenanigans, and then allow the Harlequin Troupe Players to have their various pistol/melee weapon loadouts (they'd then be more of an Elite infantry choice). Not likely, but this would open up some nice new options for the Killer Clowns 🤞🤞🤞
wishlist for 2k25: 1) Space Wolves 2) Imperors Children 3) New Epic Heroes and unique units for Drukhari and Codex Space Marine chapters 4) Assault Terminators 5) Vanguard Veterans 6) maybe Grey Knights
For Thousand Sons sounds like the Castellax-Achea robots they had during the Heresy. They were a part of the legion, not just loan outs from the Mechanicum like normal automata. On tabletop you could even make them Line and count as Troops in one of the Thousand Sons RoWs. They allow you to cast psychic powers through them and use special aether weapons. I imagine any robots you're hearing about are probably those returning in some corrupted form.
Still missing the Necron Lokhust Destroyers, not the heavy ones we got, but the normal ones together with a generic Destroyer Lord with weapon and head options.
Well, not exactly Votann player, but it was the first army I started building (yes, I'm that new to the Warhammer 40k). I reckon something in the line of actual steel men and maybe some larger models (like their version of Dreadnought) would be nice. I'm not deep enough in their lore, yet, though.
A bike race between the space marines, Eldar and oks would be cool. New Black Templars and Eldar, especially the corsairs would be very cool in my books, I have a vision of Eldar corsairs sailing the high stary sea's in star ships very much like those from the movie Treasure Planet, this vision fills me with joy. Next year can't come soon enough.
I will be genuinely sad if they're putting the Thunderwolf Cavalry into Legends. They've been my go to ever since I got into the tabletop a few months ago
Drukhari don't need a new armour, they need a new range release XD Elders we're complaining some of their models were older than most players, Drukhari's old range has just vanished from the site.... You can still buy a Haemonculus, but he's got nothing to buff, and apart from the kabalites/fast attack range, they have almost nothing.... Honestly, when you look at the current Drukhari models there's not much to entice you to collect them...
Dark eldar (Drukhari) relly need a refresh, most of their stuff were in finecast and its no longer being sold: I wish they get plastic grotesques, new haemonculi(maybe a character named Urien) and new archon, maybe renewed kabalite warriors. Besides kill team they got little GW love
My prediction: GW renews grotesques, and wracks and makes a plastic kit that can be assembled as a regular haemonculus or as Urien Rakath, and put them alongside a Cronos to make a nice new drukhari combat patrol box
Ferrus Manus comes back as a head on an automaton body that looks like the Silver Surfer. Iron Hands steal every Imperial Fist's/ their successors' dreadnoughts to celebrate Edit: As a serious guess I'd like to see Grave Wardens
The votann so far are just re-skined first born with tweaks. The have a Liberian - Grimnyr Captain - Khal Terminator character - Champion Tech marine - Broknyr Tactical Squad - warriors Terminators - Hearthguard Razorback - Sagitar Land Raider - Hekaton Then the have something vaguely like Assault marines - Beserkers Devastator Maines - Thunderkyn So if gw keep following this route then look at first born like jump pack marines, dreadnoughts, whirlwinds etc
Wishlist for the factions I personally play: Grey Knights: a 40mm heavy infantry that isn’t a terminator. They is to say. A new unit. Something akin to the niche Bladeguard or Sword Brethren fill. Night Lords/CSM: Pretty happy with what we got now. I just want more bits to play with 😜 Imperial Agents: New Inquisitor kit. Something with an assortment of optional builds.
I think SOMETHING will be coming for Dark Mechanicum. The hints are there. It may be as little as robots for Thousand Sons, it may be in the CSM codex. I'm sure they've struggled to slot it in somewhere. But I think it's coming.
@ChapterMasterValrak you are wrong about the Death Guard - there is a lord mantle that was mentioned in 8th - Lord of Poxes. My guess is that it will, kinda like Typhus, be a terminator character attaching to poxwalkers as well as termies.
For Death Guard if I were to put money on anything it would be a terminator sorcerer. In their last codex they specifically mentioned other sects of plague casters besides the Malignant Plaguecasters. For Daemons, I agree they’ll be joining the god specific codices, but pretty much all of them already have too many characters vs units. Nurgle daemons have something like 9-10 characters to their 3-4 units….
Grey Knights range is from 2010ish. Warp spiders were from the 90s. You are not the same XD There's plenty of models older than Grey Knights, I think all Tau vehicles are older than them (but vehicles age well), the fire warriors too, a lot of Drukharis. But the new Warp Spiders are the Catachan infantry XD
@@krankarvolund7771good points to be fair, but the entire GK line is old and outscaled, at this point aside from one character model. Every other faction has been flush with new sculpts at some point within the last decade, even if they've got a few stragglers in finecast. the upside is that everyone has gotten good at kit-bashing :)
@Killery96 Yeah that's the thing with GK, they're récent compared to most outdated models. But as they're Space Marines, their 10 years look older than the 20 or 30 years of other models XD
Appreciate the video as always, Valrak. I love being able to tune in every week for some fresh rumors. Any chance of a rumor video for the other games? Old World, Kill Team, HH, and, of course, Necromunda! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Im hoping that the generic marines get new chapter specific units or characters like storm seers and Keshig for white scars, or a dreadnought character and helfathers for iron hands. (Especially new Iron Hands units with the EC being up and coming). World Eaters I hope we get a terminator lord and a blood surgeon, maybe even a mortal HQ unit for jahkals or even some new mortal units that are more focused on range like blood pact. As for the Thousand Sons if it’s an automata I think it’ll probably be Castelax robots since in lore they had some special pattern of those iirc. For xenos I’d love it if Tau got more auxiliary units from different species or even Guevesa upgrade kits. Maybe even get the old broadside suit models brought back as a new unit. I also hope that Custodes in HH get a bunch of their models in plastic especially their vehicles.
As a world eaters player ideal things the faction could have: Khornate Lord on foot terminator lord (if we get termies) Butcher surgeon Berserkers on Juggernaut’s Red butchers Some form of vehicle (smaller then the lord of skulls). I think you put these in the faction is happy As for BT I think a couple more named characters would be fun for them when you look at how much the other divergent get id say it's a fair. Maybe a named emperors champion
World Eaters - Juggernaut Marines Cavalry. Death Guard - Maybe Jump Pack Infantry TSons - if the rumors are true, new robot units instead of generic Helbrute or Demondinos will be great.
Hey Valrak i really love those videos! For the Imperial Knights i think it would be nice to have some more Armigers like the Chaos has and one Question i have ist: do you know something about new Killteams and whats possibly coming? 👀

most just waffle
@@ChapterMasterValrak the year*
Nah he paid someone to make this video and edit him in with AI…me
@ChapterMasterValrak 26 minutes of straight YAP. No, seriously, we should all be proud of Val. He finally got a video out at 25+ minutes. He's worked himself to the bone this week folks.
White Scars are getting models for 40k? Well I'll start preparing the bunker since it's clearly the apocalypse.
I think I've just seen Angron skating ⛸️ to work.
You got your plain marines; paint them white and be happy
New models for White Scars? Ha! The next thing you’ll be telling me is hell is real, space is fake, and Santa and the Easter bunny are sharing a blunt at my local McDonald’s.
Alright, Votann player here. Let me run through what the predictions are.
The only big character in the lore that we don’t have is the Embyr, a medic-type character responsible for taking care of the cloneskeins and watching for mutations and inbreeding. Could definitely see them as an apothecary type character.
In the lore, we also have gunships that I could see being a ghost ark type flying transport. In the new votann novel, there are also drillers mentioned. It’s unclear if these are drill transports like imperial termite vehicles or teams with tunneling equipment, either could work.
After that, they basically can come up with whatever and as long as it fits the aesthetic of votann it’ll be fine. My predictions come from basically looking at what we’re lacking/ what other factions have and filling in the blanks:
- character to lead cthonian berzerks
- character to lead hernkyn pioneers and/or yaegirs
- more hernkyn range
- more cthonian range
- jump pack units (there’s one guy with a jump pack in the salvagers kill team)
- dreadnought equivalent, either a mech or a giant ironkin
- artillery?
- and my personal hope, a big centerpiece robot that houses a fraction of the votann’s consciousness and gives out primarch-style buffs
There are also thudd guns and mole mortars in the novels. Could definitely see that as well.
im expecting a dreadnought and jump pack units, fingers crossed for a main battle tank (dont get me wrong i love me my hekatons but i dont really need a transport and i could use something with similar firepower but cheaper). I would love a big center piece model tho, that sounds kinda cool
I want to see rules for Yoht Grendok and Ancestors Wrath. Even if they are just in legends.
The Embyr are described as being robed and armoured - similar to the Grimnyr. There are standard bearers in the art as well as a flyer/lander. Agree about the artillery- thud/quad guns and mole mortars.
I’d say a pioneer character - with a long coat, possibly on a bike and a cthonian character are likely. Maybe a warlord in Exo armour and a named character or two.
Other than that - walker/robots, jump pack troops and maybe a dedicated gun tank.
I just want the Votann to get a gun other than the heavy bolter that has a shooting range of over 30” 😂
Prediction :
- GW actually postpone the 11th edition to 2027
- Ultramarines get a new specialist Battleline
- Emperor's Children will have its half army released from January to March
- All Specific patron Chaos Space marines get release in Winter 2025
- Space Wolves getting even more wolfier
I'm all for them waiting till 2027 for 11th. We got a brand new game system basically and at the rate the books come out we won't even get a full 6 months of play with all armies having their full number of detachments
@@MessybubbleI mean, 10th edition hasn’t even been out for two years so I would also put 11th edition at 2027 just because it would fit within the three years timeline for every edition
I would love it, if they just let us have a full year to play with our codexes. The second the last codex in a edition is released, there should be a one year narrative campaign. Helping shape up some little narrative points of the next edition. Nothing major, but I feel like it would be a good hype up, and let get to use a codex, if it's the last one released in an edition.
Prediction - Necromunda continues it's unrivaled Monday supremacy well into 2025.
@@SuperGingerLadthis would also allow them a full year to see what shenanigans players come up with over the year and what absolutely has to go in 11th. And what needs a lot of help to be viable.
I predict that Val will burn the Xmas dinner.
100% agree on the Drukhari take. They need something with a real presence, that has a regal, decadent and disturbing tone. Love the faction on paper, but the range is a bit lackluster in departments we know GW can excel at. Look at AoS and Warcry, they have the talent needed in house already!
They need Asdruval Vect back!!
@ Yessir, he is a pretty perfect Drukhari centerpiece. Give him the presence of The Silent King, and more people would probably be pulled towards the faction!
The other thing that doesn’t help drukhari is half of their range being finecast so it’s all been nuked :/
i honestly dont get it it mindblowing. Its so easy for GW to turn people to Dark eldar if they just release ONE particualar centerpiece model and that i Asbrudael Vect. I understand that Drukhari are a niche faction with low player base but GW has been churning out models left and right even for factions and game systems that are far less popular, its astonishing that they just dont get it that releasing THIS ONE model will bring flocks of new players to the faction, people love new stuff...
Val used a white scar image, this is the first hint that he’s heard the Warhawk hunts again in 11th
World Eaters: We really need juggernaut berserkers!!!
And red butcher terminator units
Indeed no fucking bloodcrushers give us more marines
- WE Lord on foot w/options
- WE Lord in terminator armour w/options
- Berserker Surgeon
- multi-part Exalted Champion kit
- Red Butcher Terminators
- Teeth of Khorne (...dishonoured WE's who've had large caliber weapons surgically grafted to them so they can no longer engage in hand-to-hand combat & offer up skulls to Khorne)
- Jugger riding loons
- add in the Vindicator as an option please!!
- NEW daemon engine of some kind
We deserve that at a bare minimum... right now we're a complete joke of an "army" and are more or less just relegated to being 'Angron's Stag Party' with every damn list being Angry Ron himself, a dozen or so 8bound and their ten best Berserker drinking buddies >.>
Nope, just the terminators. Like come on. We didn't need exalted bullshiße
ALPHA LEGION NEAD MODELS

12:06 White Scars get a mention, that's enough for me 🤍🤍🤍
Now hurry up with that Space Marines rumours video, Val!
A decent white scars upgrade sprue would make me happy.
White scars please 😢
Okay okay Votann player list:
Lorewise we’ve seen gunships a lot in the lore. White Dwarf 500, High Kahl’s Oath bring up close support gunships with “darkstar bombs”. A tank and monster-hunting gunship with the hover rule would be clutch and fill a gap in our roster.
Also from the lore, we hear a bit about the Embyr, the Kin responsible for overseeing the cloning process. An Embyr character that fills the medic role and make our units a bit tanker would be welcome.
Outside of that I hear Kin players routinely ask for a dreadnought equivalent like the Necromunda squats have, jump pack warriors like the Salvagers Killteam has, and some bigger artillery to capture that classic dwarf vibe.
i feel like jump pack units are a given cause literally everyone else (i think) has gotten a jump pack unit of some sort, been the jump pack edition of wh
Deff Jump packs and we're getting a lot of art and lore about some sort of gunship. The Yaegirs did fill a nice gap with infiltrators.
Could use a medic, a dreadnought (I have the Exo-driller for my necromunda campaign and it is aces), a vehicle that an iron master leading a squad can fit in, a non-transport tank, a flamer unit. I would not be against some Monster Unit or some Titantic unit. That would be fun.
As for characters, a pioneer/warbike hero would be nice, a berserker hero either leading the cthonians or just being a solo menace, a sneaky hero (or that might be too much like Boss Snikrot, and another Epic Hero of some kind. Expansion of the Leagues getting stuff.
I think if they would do a white scars range would be:
1. Khan/ Khan on bike
2. Stormseer
3. a mounted and dismounted keshig/ bodyguard unit (maces and lances for mounted) (glaives and guns for dismounted)
@@birdguy1581 A Captain on Bike is a must-have just for ANY SM army with Outriders. Having a potential upgrade sprue to give a Khan on Bike option for White Scars would be 👌👌👌
Ditto for the Stormseer. They are very different to standard Librarians, so having a WS Stormseer in plastic would make a nice Character option (currently using the HH WS Stormseer Consul. Lovely mini, just a pain he's in resin).
@@horuslupercal2385 I think it would be a librarian would different abilities and attacks/ weapons, like better movement and charging or something
Votann have a jump pack mini in their Kill Team, but no squad of them. So, a jump pack squad with a character would make sense. There's rumor engines that look like a Votann mechanic of some sort. They're also missing a Dreadnought equivalent.
Me: Gets super excited for the Votann news
The News: There will eventually be a rumor.
Me: ........
After a really positive end of year with SM2, secret level and the Cavill announcement it's sad that some retailers are dropping GW products, let's hope they can sort out these issues with GW.
Lots of stores are getting shafted by gw business practices (dumping over printed model boxes to discounters-skaven tide - after forcing stores to order max amounts them as an example) and I can’t blame them.
For Deathguard I would like to see a unit that callbacks to the Legion Destroyers from Horus Heresy. Or just another unit in power armor in general, a little variety besides characters (also for the Thousand Sons).
Chaos should use some of the old Legion formations because it makes more sense for them to do it than loyalists.
Death Guard needs anti-tank infantry, but we're probably just getting a character (which sucks because we have too many already).
I would love some Assault Terminators and maybe some leader characters for Outriders? A captain, maybe a Librarian maybe?
As a Votaan player, I'm hoping for a few new character models and some more diverse units. We could definitely use some kind of big walking gun battery equivalent, a true tanks and in general just some units that really sell the Space Dwarf vibe. Lore Wise we don't have a whole lot at this point that doesn't have a model equivalent but for me I think what we need is some models that encourage different styles of play for us and makes it so we aren't all running the same units. I do agree though with a comment below that a giant Mecha-Sized Ironkin would be an awesome centrepiece model, or some kind of Votaan Shard. It would also be cool if we had some kind of big crazy Dark Age of Technology artillery piece. Maybe something stupid like a 'Singularity Catapault' that shoots miniature blackholes.
So for votann we want a flyer, there is one on the codex art. Hopefully a gunship/transport build. We want a dedicated tank/artillery. Probably we will get a jump pack unit. We want some more elite units, I believe there is one called embyrs or something in the lore which is psyker based. And we want a big mech or bigger robot unit. And then also a big hq/centrepeice type model.
Hope that helps val! Please cover votann, I know you lost interest but they’re actually really popular! We just need that juicy wave 2 ❤️
Mentions White Scars - my immediate confirmation that The Khan is returning, a unique elite biker unit and more characters 100% confirmed.
As for Votann, our kind of wishlist would be along the lines of:
- Dreadnought type unit
- Flyer (seems to be artwork of them)
- We have a single, albeit pointless outside of KT, jump pack model - I imagine that will become a unit.
- Characters - we have one named character that shares a kit with the Khal, would like to see named characters that cover the other types of characters, a named Grimnyr, Iron-Master, etc.
- Possibly one of those "commemorative" models for our new book.
I'm also torn on if I want either a dedicated tank model or a more dedicated transport model - as we effectively have a Landraider and a Razorback currently as a Marine comparison. And they're awkward for different squad sizes etc. Especially as many of the characters you want to put in have little underlings that count towards the transport limits. (either that or an upgrade sprue for the Land Fortress that just puts a cap over the two big weapons on the top and "fixes" the transport capacity - let me take 6 thunderkyn and Iron-Master or 10 Hyrthguard + character!
White scars in the thumbnail
👀👀👀
🤞🤍🤞🤍🤞🤍🤞🤍🤞
World eaters need a surgeon, red butchers in some way, a termie lord and a lord on foot. I'd like to see some kind of jump infantry, a jump lord and bikes as well.
You saying you haven’t heard anything for dark eldar is the most defeating news I’ve heard. There was a big rumor that they were gonna be the big bad of the 11th Ed starter set but this news of nothing is very worrying.
I'm so hoping we get a proper Pedro Kantor model. I've converted one but it's far from perfect. I've just finished building and painting some Blood Angels Assault Terminators so would be nice to see an official update. Maybe alongside Space Hulk 2025.
I think next year is gonna be a hot year for Chaos I'm excited finally for Emperors Children and already have practised a method that gives good results. Can't wait for 25th.
In the 8th edition death guard codex there was a hell of a lot of characters described and one of them even got model in 9th edition, that's Lord of Virulence, but there also was Lord of Poxes, more variants of sorcerers, and also didn't get a proper Lord of Contagion separate kit (because f*ck Lord Felthius). But I think that would be TOO MUCH characters, personally I would like to see death guard possessed or even maybe jump pack plague marines (cause why not?).
Wish they would explore more forms of sickness with DG. Everyone isn't thick and bloated when they get ill. Would make sense if we had skinny, malnourished DG as well with jump packs and maybe a possessed version where jumpacks is replaced with fly wings etc :)
I would love a new plague marine unit. Plague Marine havoc equivalent, possessed, etc. I pray to Nurgle we don't get a daemon character cause my god there is too many daemon characters. I'd accept even just a brand new daemon unit to spice that up, but new plague marine unit would be my most wanted option.
In the new High Khal's Oath book they mention:
- Hernkhals that lead hernkyn prospects
- some sort of kin driller with laser drills
- a brokhyr ironmaster in a tunderkyn harness
- votann dropships
And more I can't remember.
In the new "High Kahl's Oath" book for League of Votann, a handful of new units are mentioned:
Hernkahl (like a hernkyn kahl)
drillers/diggers (I'm assuming like cthonian berserker counter parts)
drilling machings
tracked Sagittaurs
Brokyr artillery of some form (left kinda vage as to the nature of it in the book)
I think the Hernkahl is at the very least a likely candidate for a new Votann model
Best thing I can do to describe Votan's line is that we have a 2nd Edition Space Marine Army. Regular and Terminator Captain, Librarian, Tech marine, Basic Troops, Scouts, Terminators, Small Team Devastators, Attack Bikes, Khorne berserkers and a Razorback and a Land Raider equivalent for vehicles
We will most likely be getting Jump Troops, if that Kill Team is any indication.
What I WANT is a Dreadnaught equivalent, a land Speeder Equivalent, a predator equivalent, and some sort of indirect fire platform, like a vehicle dedicated to deploying the Kin Missiles from the Hekaton.
I am also fascinated by the Ironkin as a concept, and would like to see a dedicated Ironkin unit that would be similar to a Horus Heresy Destroyer squad (Torrent capable Phosphex or Rad Weapons) or a Zone Mortalis Squad capable of taking and holding an objective with obscene OC and Invulns but small unit size and relatively weak or very short ranged weapons (Flamers, Rad Projectors, bolt shotguns, or Volkanites)
Votann Need (in generic terms):
Leader on Bike/Trike
Artillery Unit
Heavy Walker
Leader for Bezerks
Flying/Hover Unit
Wishlist:
Train car for Hekaton Land Fortress to pull
for us codex marines i really would like a multipart kit chapter master and maybe in the data sheet you select a progenitor chapter for rules on table top, just wishfull thinking but that would be so cool..
oh and maybe a character dreadnought for us Iron Hands (maybe the one they stole from the imperial fist successor )
In an ideal world, the White Scars would get a new Khan on Bike and then some 40k versions of the Golden/Ebon Keshig.
Votann desperately need a walker and/or tank type unit.
Effectively Votann only have an Impulsor and Landraider equivalent right now, giving them access to something more paralleled to a Dreadnought and/or Predator would help them a lot to have more flexibility in terms of lists, detachment design, etc. They have a really neat mech with the Iron-Master (dwarf blacksmith) but doesn't really have the vehicles to flex it with. Hell I'd even take some sort of field gun at this point just having enough things to make the Iron-Master feel good to use.
I'd also like a Pioneer character/leader. Outriders have the ATV and Chaplian on Bike, Ork bikers have the trike, Aldari have 20 different leaders on jet bikes. I think the Pioneer is probably the coolest model Votann have and giving them a leader/character/something to make a big Pioneer squad more interesting and valuable seems great and would play more into the whole explorer vibe some of the Votann line is going for.
Also Votann need a mech unit, its one of the most requested for some type of walker / dreadnought type heavy. Few of us hoping for a new heavy tank too
Votann
Lore models
-gunship
-quad barrel like mounted gun
Wants
-dreadnaught like unit
-jump pack infantry like one in the kill team
-Beserk charcter
-flyer
-artillery piece
-melee terminator
-bike charcter
-some ranged hero
-shield and melee infantry
Rock and Stone, yeah
One thing that could give a boost to Harlequins, Drukhari, and Asuryani all at the same time is a new character model of a High Avatar that's on the same level of awesome as the new Phoenix Lords, stat-wise and model-wise.
I'm now convinced that GW wanted to release the other Votann half this year, but simply overlooked the models amid all the upcoming primaris Lt. models on that shelf. Let's hope for a 2026 release...hopefully...please...
Edit: There's some items in the book we got that might get added to the game
(light SPOILERS from here on)
We currently lack Healers, dedicated anti-tank vehicles, artillery, flyers, something big like a baneblade
rumours / mentions include:
1. Heavy Gunships have been mentioned the most. likely armaments from all the gathered sources: can carry a squad, has twin frontal Hylas cannons, darkstar / Grav bombs.
2. Mole mortars have been mentioned in the book, we already have mole grenade launchers with the berserks, so maybe a heavy weapons team.
3. The book mentioned field guns, don't know more than that. Hope its something like a thunderfire cannon (since we're a bit like old marines with heavy infantry and light vehicles)
4. Embyr are an infantry unit that has been mentioned a couple times now. Seems like they are some sort of healer that guard the cloning installations. Codex mentions that they have force fields.
5. The codex mentions colossus class war engines. Don't know what it do. Don't know what it is. Might lead to nothing.
What i think the Drukhari really needs is basically the fifth edition codex in models.
Give us all the discontinue models in fine cast back.
Then give us true born and ancient heamonculai.
Then return ALL the characters gives us duke Sliscus, Vect on his Dais of Destruction (slave girls included),
Urien Rakarth, Aurelia Malys, Kheradruakh, the Decapitator and Baron Sathonyx.
(i think i got them all)
Oh and that giant piece Drukhari unit the Tantilus plus any other forgeworld models that once where part of the Drukhari range (discontinued or not) bring them back as plastic and some nice rules.
I think if we got that most Drukhari players would be happy with that.
17:45 Why wouldn't Be'lakor and other chaos undivided demons go into just a regular Chaos Space Marine Codex?
I feel like they should have done an undivided but Be’lakor required to be taken/warlord. Oh well. I’m sure they will fine him a home!
If Thousand Sons are getting automata, it could be a corrupted version of the Castellax-Achea they have in 30K. They've done basic Castellax in plastic now, so it'd be easy enough for them to Chaos up those 3D assets.
For World Eaters, they have Berzerker-Surgeons in the fluff, they're the guys responsible for implanting Butcher's Nails into new recruits. It's something I was hoping they'd get in the first wave of releases.
If Ksons get Castellax before Admech, i'll be sad.
So yeah, you're probably right.
Space Wolves getting wolves with wolves on their shoulder pads guarding other wolves? Truly, the Fenrisian aesthetic remains uncompromised. Next up: Wolf-riding Blade Guard… called Wolf Guard, obviously.
Berserker on juggernauts would be my WE prediction
As someone who just got gifted a votann combat patrol for my birthday this is really good news I can't wait to start my space dwarves!!
For Death Guard, I'd love to see a death guard/nurgle themed sorcerer since the Chaos sorcerer in terminator armour is typically pretty solid for us but has zero Death Guard flare.
Votann wants or needs
Rune smith
Land train
Large ironkyn unit (dreadnaugt)
Flyer unit (space ship like from the book)
Jump pack units
Mining rig
Non transport tank
Votann already have (
Basic troops
Terminator
Tech priest
Scouts
Basic hero
Terminator hero
Small transport
Big transport
Bikes
Heavy gunner squad
Wizard
In close unit
These are off the top of my head but is a basic overview of what I hope votann get
Votann wishlist: Votann Flyer, Votann Dredd, More Grinyr options, Some more League characters. Demiurg for Tau Kill Teams, Voidmaster team for Kill Team. More 'big weapons and vehicles
For Votann I think a dreadnought equivalent centerpiece model could be good. I feel like they should flesh out their AI and robot parts of their faction that have a lot of potential
GW needs to put the Skaven modelers on the Dark Eldar. Imagine how awesome they would look with that much detail. 😮
Grey knight's scale looks so silly compared to all the Upgraded SM kits
Leave the short kings alone
In Age of Sigmar, Nagash is in all the Death battle tomes, Belakor could be in the four Chaos codexes.
Ravenwing for the dark angels needs some love.
Based on the first killteam I'm sure Votann will get jump infantry but personally I'd like some heavier infantry or dedicated fighting vehicles and a dreadnought equivalent
I already kitbashed a couple boxes of deathwing knights into BT assault Termis. Best project I ever did.
Fast Attack For the KHAAAAAN! I knew it! The foil confirms!
Fluff-friendly stuff Thousand Sons are missing from their roster (remember, they only have 6 40k kits actually designed FOR THEM at the moment):
- 1-2 bespoke daemonengine (the Mirrorfiend and Æther Ray stand out; the new detachment also mentions TS daemon engines...)
- a Numerologist (tech sorcerer) character that buffs vehicles
- a Rubricae Dreadnought (that can also be kitted as a psyker dread character; Rubricae Dreads are confirmed to still exist in 40k, psyker dreads TBD)
- a 40k version of the TS castellax-achea automaton (THIS IS HEAVILY RUMORED TO BE COMING, and would synergize well with the Numerologist)
- a melee-focused unit and/or an elite 3-6 model unit; I'd recommend we do two birds with one stone here and have something like Zoanthropes/Shining Spears/Tzeentch Screamers and get a 3-6 "elite" model, like sorcerers, on disc
- the Thrallwizard Matriarchs (battleline chaff unit that TS can sacrifice for rituals; this would be like Jakhals or Poxwalkers. TS technically have Tzaangors on tabletop but remember this is an Age of Signar hand-me-down, Tzaangors weren't designed for 40k unlike Jakhals and Poxwalkers, who were)
- perhaps a tzaanogre, lol
- some heavy weapon rubrics
- a new named character (that isn't Ahriman or Magnus, perhaps the star of an m41 political thriller set on Sortiarius/Planet of the Sorcerer's in Magnus's realspace empire, the New Kingdom) - it would make sense to have this be a "named" version of either the Infernal Master or the Numerologist (in the same way as Ahriman is essentially a "named" Exalted Sorcerer)
- a hyper elite, very expensive unit of successfully restored-to-flesh Rubricae called "Lazarus Marines"
Even with literally all of this, TS are sooo small today that they'd still have a smaller bespoke range than Death Guard launched with lol
Tiny Legend miniatures do primaris sized terminator assault kit upgrades that fit perfectly. I've got 10 TH/SS dudes on the painting table right now, can't wait to get them on the tabletop.
Ah, the Grey Knights. As a Dark Angels player, I have a respect for the Paladins because they might have done things that were not popular but they are a needed force who can do what others can't. Game recognises game.
What can dark angels do that others can’t though
Anything on the plastic warhound?
Votann only have 1 named character who isn’t very good. Units wise, we need a dedicated tank unit, there are thudd guns and mortars in the lore which we could get. Probably going to get the jump pack troops from kill team set. We be nice to have an elite bodyguard type unit, and also some more ironkin units. Maybe like a dreadnought or something like what admech has, like the kastellan robots.

There was a new Knight mentioned by the mad Archmaintenancer in the book Assassinorum: Kingmaker, designed by Cawl…. Sooooo maybe?
14:33 Harlequins Mimes as their own unit would be an absolute dream. Keep them simple with some Deep Striking shenanigans, and then allow the Harlequin Troupe Players to have their various pistol/melee weapon loadouts (they'd then be more of an Elite infantry choice).
Not likely, but this would open up some nice new options for the Killer Clowns 🤞🤞🤞
"I support the good guys in Warhammer 40,000" didn't know Valrak was a Necron fan.
wishlist for 2k25: 1) Space Wolves 2) Imperors Children 3) New Epic Heroes and unique units for Drukhari and Codex Space Marine chapters 4) Assault Terminators 5) Vanguard Veterans 6) maybe Grey Knights
For Thousand Sons sounds like the Castellax-Achea robots they had during the Heresy. They were a part of the legion, not just loan outs from the Mechanicum like normal automata. On tabletop you could even make them Line and count as Troops in one of the Thousand Sons RoWs. They allow you to cast psychic powers through them and use special aether weapons. I imagine any robots you're hearing about are probably those returning in some corrupted form.
Still missing the Necron Lokhust Destroyers, not the heavy ones we got, but the normal ones together with a generic Destroyer Lord with weapon and head options.
Lokhurst Lord is a must. In the codex but can't buy the model! Insanity
Well, not exactly Votann player, but it was the first army I started building (yes, I'm that new to the Warhammer 40k). I reckon something in the line of actual steel men and maybe some larger models (like their version of Dreadnought) would be nice. I'm not deep enough in their lore, yet, though.
If the men of Steel come back eldar and the imperium would team up and wipe the votann out
Looking hard for the BT Ancient
Orks vs spacewolves. Were going to armagedon baby!
Or Sanctus Reach part II
What did you hear about Raven Guard? I have to know!
I second this🙏
A bike race between the space marines, Eldar and oks would be cool.
New Black Templars and Eldar, especially the corsairs would be very cool in my books, I have a vision of Eldar corsairs sailing the high stary sea's in star ships very much like those from the movie Treasure Planet, this vision fills me with joy.

I will be genuinely sad if they're putting the Thunderwolf Cavalry into Legends. They've been my go to ever since I got into the tabletop a few months ago
Drukhari don't need a new armour, they need a new range release XD
Elders we're complaining some of their models were older than most players, Drukhari's old range has just vanished from the site.... You can still buy a Haemonculus, but he's got nothing to buff, and apart from the kabalites/fast attack range, they have almost nothing....
Honestly, when you look at the current Drukhari models there's not much to entice you to collect them...
Dark eldar (Drukhari) relly need a refresh, most of their stuff were in finecast and its no longer being sold: I wish they get plastic grotesques, new haemonculi(maybe a character named Urien) and new archon, maybe renewed kabalite warriors. Besides kill team they got little GW love
My prediction: GW renews grotesques, and wracks and makes a plastic kit that can be assembled as a regular haemonculus or as Urien Rakath, and put them alongside a Cronos to make a nice new drukhari combat patrol box
Happy Sanginala to the Chapter Master and all the battle brothers & sisters of the hobby!
Man I just hope the world eaters get some love, don’t care what models it is just please give us more
Ferrus Manus comes back as a head on an automaton body that looks like the Silver Surfer. Iron Hands steal every Imperial Fist's/ their successors' dreadnoughts to celebrate
Edit: As a serious guess I'd like to see Grave Wardens
The votann so far are just re-skined first born with tweaks.
The have a
Liberian - Grimnyr
Captain - Khal
Terminator character - Champion
Tech marine - Broknyr
Tactical Squad - warriors
Terminators - Hearthguard
Razorback - Sagitar
Land Raider - Hekaton
Then the have something vaguely like
Assault marines - Beserkers
Devastator Maines - Thunderkyn
So if gw keep following this route then look at first born like jump pack marines, dreadnoughts, whirlwinds etc
Wishlist for the factions I personally play:
Grey Knights: a 40mm heavy infantry that isn’t a terminator. They is to say. A new unit. Something akin to the niche Bladeguard or Sword Brethren fill.
Night Lords/CSM: Pretty happy with what we got now. I just want more bits to play with 😜
Imperial Agents: New Inquisitor kit. Something with an assortment of optional builds.
I think SOMETHING will be coming for Dark Mechanicum. The hints are there. It may be as little as robots for Thousand Sons, it may be in the CSM codex. I'm sure they've struggled to slot it in somewhere. But I think it's coming.
3 ft long Gloriana Class Battle Barge with custom Legion specific sprue, it'll fly out the factory
@ChapterMasterValrak you are wrong about the Death Guard - there is a lord mantle that was mentioned in 8th - Lord of Poxes. My guess is that it will, kinda like Typhus, be a terminator character attaching to poxwalkers as well as termies.
“Everything piratey I love” explains the support for City😅
are we going to get the updated bjorn the fell handed mini in the box set or is he going to be solo
I would love that!
For Death Guard if I were to put money on anything it would be a terminator sorcerer.
In their last codex they specifically mentioned other sects of plague casters besides the Malignant Plaguecasters.
For Daemons, I agree they’ll be joining the god specific codices, but pretty much all of them already have too many characters vs units.
Nurgle daemons have something like 9-10 characters to their 3-4 units….
Oh no. Grey knights are the knew warp spiders now, aren’t we?
Grey Knights range is from 2010ish.
Warp spiders were from the 90s. You are not the same XD
There's plenty of models older than Grey Knights, I think all Tau vehicles are older than them (but vehicles age well), the fire warriors too, a lot of Drukharis.
But the new Warp Spiders are the Catachan infantry XD
@@krankarvolund7771good points to be fair, but the entire GK line is old and outscaled, at this point aside from one character model. Every other faction has been flush with new sculpts at some point within the last decade, even if they've got a few stragglers in finecast. the upside is that everyone has gotten good at kit-bashing :)
Eldar vyper is the oldest model in the range, followed by the Falcon
@Killery96 Yeah that's the thing with GK, they're récent compared to most outdated models. But as they're Space Marines, their 10 years look older than the 20 or 30 years of other models XD
@captaincosmo6157 There are models older than the Vyper. Just within eldar there is Karandras.
Theory for future votann units are jump pack unit, a tunnelling unit, the flyer that’s on the back of the 9th ed codex and a kind of ironkin eggnought
No Vashtorr related rumours?
Appreciate the video as always, Valrak. I love being able to tune in every week for some fresh rumors.
Any chance of a rumor video for the other games? Old World, Kill Team, HH, and, of course, Necromunda!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
CSM need new bikers, also god/legion specific vehicle and hellbrute customisation sprues would be welcome.
Just finished the imperium section have you heard anything about the Raven Wing portion of Dark Angels
Im hoping that the generic marines get new chapter specific units or characters like storm seers and Keshig for white scars, or a dreadnought character and helfathers for iron hands. (Especially new Iron Hands units with the EC being up and coming).
World Eaters I hope we get a terminator lord and a blood surgeon, maybe even a mortal HQ unit for jahkals or even some new mortal units that are more focused on range like blood pact. As for the Thousand Sons if it’s an automata I think it’ll probably be Castelax robots since in lore they had some special pattern of those iirc.
For xenos I’d love it if Tau got more auxiliary units from different species or even Guevesa upgrade kits. Maybe even get the old broadside suit models brought back as a new unit.
I also hope that Custodes in HH get a bunch of their models in plastic especially their vehicles.
If only.....if only, Necromunda Squats were the real faction in place of the Votann.
Agreed, votann took everything cool about dwarfs and they it in the bin
As a world eaters player ideal things the faction could have:
Khornate Lord on foot
terminator lord (if we get termies)
Butcher surgeon
Berserkers on Juggernaut’s
Red butchers
Some form of vehicle (smaller then the lord of skulls).
I think you put these in the faction is happy
As for BT I think a couple more named characters would be fun for them when you look at how much the other divergent get id say it's a fair. Maybe a named emperors champion
World Eaters - Juggernaut Marines Cavalry.
Death Guard - Maybe Jump Pack Infantry
TSons - if the rumors are true, new robot units instead of generic Helbrute or Demondinos will be great.
@12:38 Xenos
@17:10 Chaos
The fact you didn’t bring up berserkers on juggernaut is heresy
Maybe the Lord can attach to Bloodcrushers now?
No Horus Heresy rumours?
HERESY!
Hey Valrak i really love those videos!
For the Imperial Knights i think it would be nice to have some more Armigers like the Chaos has and one Question i have ist: do you know something about new Killteams and whats possibly coming? 👀
