Video summary
'BIG' SUMMER REVEAL SHOW! Hopes & Predictions! Are they finally coming?!
Main summary
Key takeaways
Storyline / Setting (what the speaker is “covering”)
-
Warhammer 40,000 (10,000 years in the future): The focus is on factions and upcoming army releases, not a narrative story arc. The speaker discusses expected Codex releases and model waves for Space Marines and Orks.
-
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy (10,000 years before 40k): The speaker wants more model refreshes/updates (especially infantry) for traitor/loyalist-era factions, including Primarchs and major character sculpts.
-
Warhammer: The Old World: Speculated Chaos updates, including a teased two-headed dragon and possible rule tweaks.
-
Kill Team: Rumors suggest a new Exodite-themed expansion, with Kill Team acting as the start of a larger range.
-
Necromunda: Rumored new Gang box (likely Escher vs Goliath) with possible rule changes—though the speaker urges caution toward rumors.
-
Legion Imperialis: The speaker wants big-picture releases that feel like flagship content—specifically Primarch-scale models.
Gameplay Highlights & Key Points (strategies / tips / speculation)
Mostly product- and rules-speculation rather than direct gameplay strategy.
Warhammer 40,000
Upcoming Codex order (predicted)
- Space Marines first
- Then Orks as Wave 2, following what the speaker believes is GW’s “normal” release order
Wave 2 / model expectations (rumor-driven)
-
A new Captain on an Outrider bike (framed as the “trickle leading to an avalanche” of biker content)
-
Potential Venerable Dreadnought and/or a flame-based dreadnought for Primaris-style forces (unclear whether these rumors point to the same unit)
-
Possible additional remakes/options such as:
- grav-cannon
- vulkanic/flamer-style options (speculating on “generic Space Marine” remakes)
What probably won’t be shown yet
- The speaker thinks Rhinos/Land Raiders are too early for this specific reveal cycle.
Terrain emphasis (gameplay-adjacent)
- Expectation of more prepainted terrain, possibly with objective-based terrain
- Rumor: terrain could evolve from flat cardboard toward more 3D destroyed-vehicle/destroyed-structure objective pieces
Community interaction mechanic
- Mentions GW’s call for submitting results and predicts the reveal may include a new Space Marine or Orc model based on reported timelines.
Warhammer: The Horus Heresy
General stance
- The speaker argues against focusing on rule arguments and instead wants plastic updates—especially for units previously stuck in resin-only form.
Preferred direction
- More infantry-based releases, with updated foot-soldier options as a priority.
Character/model predictions (rumor-driven)
- New/second models for Primarchs
- Possible new Rogal Dorn in plastic (described as “battle-hardened”)
- Jacket Khan on a bike is mentioned as a rumor that “fizzled out”
- Strong hope for new Abaddon and Justaer-era updates in plastic to match newer aesthetic/scaling
Requested “spice” from the community
- Asks Horus Heresy players what they want revealed—implicitly prioritizing Primarchs and major characters.
Warhammer: The Old World
Teased/expected major release
- A chaos two-headed dragon (the speaker claims to have seen/showed a leaked image, with a warning that it could spoil the fun)
Broader rumors
- Chaos getting a refresh (suggested by evidence that allegedly disappeared from GW’s website)
- Possible small core-rule update (hypothetically referenced as “1.1 / 1.5 / 2.0” jumps)
Design preferences
- Loves rank-and-file presentation and square bases, implying releases should continue supporting massed formations.
Kill Team
Big rumored theme
- Exodites as the next major Kill Team idea:
- Start with a Kill Team box
- Then expand into a full range, similar to how earlier Kill Team starters grew into broader product lines
Additional rumored pairings
- Mentions possible involvement of Legion of the Damned (including an in-universe conflict reference against Orks)
Matchup speculation
- Personal hope: Legion of the Damned vs Exodites (not sure GW would do it, but it’s described as exciting)
Core “what matters” takeaway
- Kill Team releases tend to have strong model quality, which is the main draw.
Necromunda
Rumored release
- A new Necromunda box set, likely Escher vs Goliath
Rule-change concern
- Rumor suggests rules may become less exciting/blander, leading to potential community “panic” (the speaker argues this may reflect personal taste rather than a universal issue)
Advice / stance
- Repeated reminder: treat rumors as rumors and wait for the actual release to avoid panic.
Legion Imperialis
What feels missing
- The game has many units, but the speaker feels it lacks Primarch presence.
Hype reset idea
- Expects a big statement could be mini Primarchs (or at least Primarch-scale hero units).
Community request
- Asks Legion Imperialis players what would bring back excitement.
