What’s Coming This Week (and Why)

• The presenter claims GW has two major “announcements” expected this week.
• The first is said to be on Monday (the day the video is recorded).
• However, the presenter says GW is not doing a model reveal show on that day.

Theory: Physical stores + a “Pro” paint range

• The presenter suggests the announcement may be tied to GW physical stores.
• They also connect it to a long-rumored new “Pro” paint range.

Potential downstream effects

• The presenter links this to possible changes such as:
  • Replacement of “Model of the Month” / “Vault”-type programming
  • A trickle of related changes into other releases

Eldar Rumors: “Khandras” and Wider Refresh Talk

Eldar players are told to expect a drop of:

• “Khandras” (referred to as “Kahandras” by the presenter), noted as strange it didn’t happen in the previous edition.

Additional rumored Eldar updates include:

• Exodites receiving an expanded range (hinted as starting via Kill Team)
• Dark Eldar receiving a refresh
• New Kabalite warriors
• A possible Dark Eldar transport/vehicle update: a new/refreshed “barge”

Presenter framing

• The presenter suggests this could make the next edition especially strong for Eldar (“pointy ears” commentary).

GW Reveal Show Schedule: LVO Possibly Missing a Reveal

• The presenter claims LVO (early October) likely won’t feature an official GW reveal show.
• Their reasoning: checking the event itinerary.

They then question:

• When the next big GW reveal show might occur
• Whether there will even be one later this year

They also anticipate:

• More codex releases beyond Space Marines, implying the pipeline continues.

---

Codex Timeline: Custodes Possibly Next

• After Space Marines (noted as already having a pre-order announcement), the next major codex rumored is:
  • Custodes, expected around November
• The presenter suggests:
  • There may be one last codex before 2027
  • Additional codexes may then shift into the later part of the year

Custodes Stat Leak Controversy: Toughness/Wounds Claims

A major “48-hour” viral leak is discussed, allegedly sourced from a Discord rumor.

Claimed changes

• Custodian Guard: Toughness 9, 4 wounds
• Custodian Terminators: Toughness 10, 5 wounds

Weapon squad structure rumors

• Shield and sword separate from spears
• Squad sizing said to be 3
• Uncertainty whether squads can be size 1 or 2

Release window (rumor)

• Late October / early November for the codex

Presenter reaction and meta concerns

• The presenter reacts to the perceived balancing implications.
• They compare it to prior Space Marine stat changes that supposedly “cascaded” into broader balance problems.
• They question:
  • How this might affect durability across factions
  • Whether it pushes the meta toward ever-higher toughness tiers

Old World / Tomb Kings / “Proti(o)” Vehicle/Model Rumors

• The presenter says more rumors are “coming true” around Tomb Kings receiving new models.
• Another faction mentioned: “Proti(o)” getting new models.

Evidence cited

• Certain units (notably foot warriors/archers) and chariots appearing removed from:
  • stores/listings (especially on the US site)

Speculation

• This could indicate:
  • A broader Old World update
  • Or preparation for an upcoming edition/revision
• The presenter notes they personally don’t focus heavily on Old World

Age of Sigmar Dwarves: “Confirmed-Seeming” Leak via Website Images

The presenter closes with what they treat as the biggest leak:

• GW allegedly posted images for new dwarven miniatures for Age of Sigmar.
• The images were supposedly discovered by someone searching and refreshing the website.

Why the presenter treats it as effectively confirmed

• The presenter describes it as confirmation that new dwarves are coming,
• Using dwarven naming such as Calazites / “Kazarites” as stated in the video.

Additional notes mentioned

• The presenter invites audience reaction, mentioning:
  • Multiple dislikes and likes about the look
• They also mention the range could expand further, including:
  • War machines / thrones
  • Additional categories (e.g., “gunner” units)

---

Presenter’s Meta Commentary

• The presenter repeatedly insists this is rumors only.
• At the same time, they express strong belief in several leak narratives due to past rumors that allegedly materialized.
• The video ends with the implication the presenter may return later if GW’s big announcement occurs (possibly related to the paint range or reveal-show timing).
