At the 10:25 mark one of the announcers says “because there is no character that can be attached to interceptors… at this time”
How he said it felt like a bit of a wink and a nod. I’d love to see an interceptor leader
The Q&A confirms we’re not going away, are getting new detachments, and that legends datasheets (like for Draigo) will eventually be added to the app
So one of the new Custodes detachments, Tharanatoi Hammerblow**,** gives terminator rerolls to charges out of deepstrike and has enhancements to allow them to deepstrike turn one. I think if we’d get something similar then our Terminators and Paladins would be in a really good spot.
They also mentioned that their Sisters of Silence will get a few items that target Psykers. This is most likely hopium on my part, but I’d love to see some Ferrymen eventually in the GKs to fill that niche.
Tomorrow they’re release Death Guard, so the next batch of Factions will be Monday. If they stick to a general Imperium, Chaos, Xeno pattern we should hopefully see our stuff next week.
“We’ll be back tomorrow with another Faction Focus, and this time we’re gathering around an eight-pointed sigil to summon the dark forces of the Chaos Space Marines and Chaos Daemons. Get your robe and sacrificial dagger ready!”
It kind of sounds like they might be rolling Daemons and CSM together into one codex, which makes sense since Daemons don’t have one and have been left out for a while.
If that does happen, I think there may be a chance Imperial Agents get rolled into another codex (or perhaps into multiple) due to their similarities. I don’t think it would be a bad thing if they divided them up by Ordos and gave us some and the SoB and Deathwatch the rest.
It’s obviously just speculation but I think it would benefit us a lot to have some cheaper units that could benefit from our rules.
According the GW’s instagram, all the new detachments shown for The Guard will only be a single point, so it’s likely our new ones will be too
