The cynic that is me is seeing this being made to replace all former Space Marine armies and to force people rebuild their whole army with "real Space Marines"..
now it begins, the era of the empty pocket the dark age of saving. (and if they are true scale stuff why only loyalist one? why chaos can't have "true scale"?)
Well....I'm glad I have a Tyranid army... ....oh wait...oh god..OH NO! WHAT IF THEY DO "TRUE SCALE" TYRANIDS????
Well, no matter what happens next from this day the galaxy shall know that we Thousand Sons had the balls to attack the two biggest mary sue chapters in all of warhammer.
1 out of two times aint bad if they lose, two out of two times gets suspious if and wonder if it means magnus is going to be new chaos warmaster or new primarch to get shit done.
I accidentally posted this elsewhere first, but here it is. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/03/14/new-game-announced-at-gama-trade-show/ It's a close-range combat game of Blood Angel Scouts versus Ork Boyz in the sprawling ruins of a hive during one of the wars for Armageddon. Some gossip & rumour sites are touting it as "Necromunda" game. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2017/03/gw-breaking-updated-necromunda-returns.html Except it isn't. And here's a look at the terrain in the boxset. This may lead into Necromunda, but there's too much background and love for the setting for GW to do "Necromunda set on Armageddon". And it's also not what they promised.
