My blog is primarily my own personal fluff in the Warhammer 40,000 universe regarding the Draconis system such as the Knight House Yato in Ryusei, their Household Militia, the Draconian Defenders, and the Forge World of Draconis IV with its Adeptus Mechanicus priesthood, Cybernetica cohorts and Skitarii legions, and the Titan Legion, Legio Draconis, known as the Dark Dragons.

Warhammer 40,000 Rumors from Chapter Master Valrak

I just thought you guys would be interested, and in case nobody wants to spend 10 minutes watching a video, I've decided to compile and summarize whatever I can from Chapter Master Valrak's video. Take note that these are rumors, so take them with a pinch of salt. They are not facts or confirmed until Games Workshop officially says so. Valrak trusts his sources, Alpharius and Omegon, but you don't have to. Whatever the case, don't go bombarding his channel demanding why he's wrong or why this codex hasn't come out yet, etc.


Rumors:

Tyranids
Tyranids codex might be coming out in March, after T'au, Aeldari and Chaos Space Marines in February. New plastic sculpts for Gaunts (?) and a range refresh in the works, apparently.

T'au
T'au might be getting a second wave...or more specifically, Kroot will be getting a plastic treatment with Krotox, Hounds and whatever. Possible they might get their own Mercenaries supplement like Farsight Enclaves is rumored to get. Yeah, there are rumors that Farsight Enclaves will be getting a separate codex supplement like Black Templars did after leaks revealed how little rules they had in the main codex. Keep in mind that this is speculation and there's no news or information regarding any Farsight Enclaves supplement in the works. Might disappoint us all by having the damned supplement be released inside a campaign book (Warzone Damocles, for example).

Cosairs and Lost and the Damned
Apparently Corsairs versus Cultists (new Lost and the Damned codex in the works, apparently) Kill Team box like for Octarius...to be announced soon. After Aeldari codex and Chaos Space Marines codex, which will be shortly after T'au. They might be released in late February or March, which might mean the Tyranids will be released in April and not March. This is why Valrak hates talking about timescales because all the delays and whatnot, and dates keep getting pushed back.

Imperial Guard (Astra Mili...what? You're in the Guard, son)
Imperial Guard (or Astra Militarum for those of you bluebloods) will be getting a new heavy tank called the Rogal Dorn, which is between the size of a Leman Russ and a Baneblade. Apparently meant to be the Imperial Guard's counterpart for the Repulsor or Repulsor Executioner because of the sheer number of guns packed into its chassis.

From an older video: apparently we might be getting plastic Death Riders and Kasrkins, and plastic Cadian Veterans.

As an aside: In a couple of newer Imperial Guard novels such as Steel Tread and Volpone Glory, the Guardsmen are said to have scout bikers or Rough Riders on bikers (Vulpa or something). Considering that the Primaris Outriders appeared in a Space Marine novel Fist of the Imperium, which was released before the models actually were announced in the Indomitus box set, it is possible that Guard might get new plastic Rough Riders on bikes similar to the Genestealer Cultists Jackals. Apparently they keep their laspistols, lasguns, shock lances and special weapons. Maybe after Leman Russ and Rogal Dorn tanks, we might be getting Jaghatai bikes for the Guard (no, I'm just pulling your leg).

World Eaters
World Eaters codex, along with Angron (as in, his own plastic model and 40K rules like Magnus and Mortarion), might be arriving at the end of this year.

Loyalist Primarch and 10th Edition
Lion El'Jonson might be the next Loyalist Primarch to wake up and be released when 10th edition hits (note that this is still very far away, probably a couple of years later, 2023 or 2024 by the earliest).

Squats (I kid you not - ask Valrak)
Squats might be getting a new codex. Not just a Kill Team but an actual codex that includes a vehicle. A Land Train (?) might be getting a model, though it'll probably be updated and modernized and such.

Horus Heresy
He mentioned that the Horus Heresy boxset costs 180 British Pounds, but that's about it, and he has nothing, no other news on the Horus Heresy except that he hopes it'll be announced in Las Vegas Open or Adepticon. I wouldn't hold my breath because it was supposed to be announced at Christmas and we all know how that went down, but...well, let's all pray to the Emperor.

In any event, go subscribe to Valrak's Youtube Channel if you want, and watch his videos for more details. Enough waffling from me, and...bye bye!
