I HAVE RETURNED! Talking 40K NEWS & RUMOURS! Catching up!

Storyline / Topic Outline (What the video is “about”)

This is a catch-up live stream focused on Warhammer 40,000 news, rumors, and faction/model discussion, plus community engagement (members, gifted subs, Discord “member models,” and event talk).

There isn’t a single continuous “game storyline” here—instead, the “story” is the streamer’s return and the ongoing speculation around 40K and the narrative industry.

Gameplay / In-Game Highlights Mentioned

No traditional gameplay is shown or explained in the subtitles, but the streamer briefly references playing other games:

• Hell Let Loose (played to relax before/during the stream)
• Possible revisiting Darktide to jump back in with new “Qatari” content
• Total War: 40k referenced in the context of events (not as gameplay discussed in detail)

Strategies / Key Tips / Practical Takeaways (40K-related)

While much of the stream is speculative, it includes practical “how to get into Warhammer” advice:

Getting started (recommended entry points)

• Newcomers: start with Eisenhorn as the easiest entry to get the Imperium’s tone and scale.

What makes a strong TV entry point

• A Death Watch-focused season is framed as a strong “starter,” because it can:
  • Rotate perspectives/chapters
  • Keep action and plot accessible
• The host argues character-driven storytelling is what matters most for early viewer investment.

Major Rumors & News Themes Discussed (Key Points)

1) Warhammer media / Amazon: Death Watch + Secret Level

The host claims there’s a Warhammer Amazon project connected to Secret Level (Death Watch), implying two Death Watch shows:

• One via Warhammer TV
• One via Amazon

He speculates that the Death Watch show could be a prequel to Space Marine 2, potentially involving the squad shown at the start of Space Marine 2.

He also speculates:

• Titus could be heavily connected/featured
• Henry Cavill might voice Titus, based on “redesign”/look-alike discussion

---

2) Codex release order (speculation)

A rumored cadence is discussed:

• Orks Codex: “tomorrow” for pre-order (per rumor), with ork content on sale alongside it
• Space Marines Codex: likely September (unclear whether pre-order vs release)
  • Expectation: pre-order then release
  • A continuing “monthly-ish” codex push afterward
• Possible order pattern mentioned:
  • Orks → Space Marines → (likely) T’au → Custodes
  • Followed by additional items depending on later rumors

---

3) Specific tabletop model/faction chatter

The host discusses various rumor categories and editorial opinions:

• A new “Venerable Dreadnought” rumor tied to Space Marines codex timing (uncertain)
• Legion of the Damned rumors (repeatedly described as a “heard a lot more” type rumor)
• Ravenwing refresh (Dark Angels):
  • Described as coming with the Dark Angels codex next year / this edition timeframe (timing caution noted)
  • Speculation about whether it’s bike upgrades versus a dedicated new Ravenwing bike model
• Custodes:
  • “Custodex is out this year” (as stated)
  • Discussion of potential related character seats (e.g., High Lords of Terror)
• Grey Knights:
  • Speculation they’ll likely be among the last codex releases due to timing/refreshed closeness

---

4) Amazon “office / factory” and employment politics (discussion tangent)

A major tangent discusses GW possibly shifting production/logistics or building a “GW factory 6” in the US to support tournaments and operations.

Additional points include:

• US vs UK worker rights differences
• Cost/efficiency reasoning for US logistics

These are framed as commentary/opinion rather than confirmed facts.

Community / Stream “Structure” (How the stream progressed)

• Start: streamer returns after a delayed flight and missing ~2 weeks
• Early: membership counter + “member models” goal management
• Mid: Cordite drinking challenge video (a humorous “last drink of the night” clip)
• Then: catch-up rumor content (Warhammer media, codex schedule, faction rumors)
• Later: member models showcase (Discord hobby pics), with shouted-out praise to many painted models
