Rumour Talk! 40K Roadmap CONFIRMED! Christmas Boxset contents & more!

Storyline / Setting (Warhammer 40,000-focused)

The video doesn’t present a single storyline from a specific game campaign. Instead, it discusses future factions/models and lore-adjacent narrative directions for Warhammer 40K’s tabletop ecosystem.

Key lore interest areas mentioned:

• Eldar vs. Dark Eldar (Drukhari) directions for the coming edition, especially new units/models tied to existing faction themes.
• Legion of the Damned possibly expanding beyond its current smaller footprint (noted as potentially expanding from Kill Team into a fuller range).

Gameplay / Meta Highlights & What’s Coming

Eldar / Dark Eldar (Drukhari) rumors and likely releases

If the rumors are believed, Dark Eldar are expected to get significant early-next-year momentum, including:

• New “Calabite” Warriors (spelling/wording as heard in subtitles)
• New barges / transport-style releases

For “normal” Eldar, the creator suggests outcomes are less certain:

• Rumors include possible refresh ideas, but with strong uncertainty
• A specific rumor mentioned: potential refresh of the Dire Avengers kit (The speaker personally doubts this, but keeps the door open.)

Additional emphasis:

• Kha(n)andras is expected to receive a brand-new model
• Striking Scorpion Phoenix Lord is rumored for a new model as well

Codex roadmap and edition cycle timing

The creator claims Games Workshop confirmed:

• A Codex roadmap will arrive via a future reveal show
• Custodes Codex is expected to be the last Codex of the current year
• More Codex releases resume in January (after the late-year Nov/Dec span)

A timeline guess discussed:

• The next reveal show may be around World Championships (Nov or Dec), i.e., before year-end

Putative Codex order (as discussed in the video)

The speaker describes a rumored sequence and says GW has confirmed elements of that order/sequence:

• Orcs
• Space Marines
• Custodes (last Codex of the current year)
• T’au
• Final slot debated between:
  • Tyranids, or
  • Dark Eldar (Subtitles are messy, but the speaker clearly states a debate between these two possibilities.)

Additional rumored faction-release bullets mentioned:

• Tau: possible releases including “new broadsides” and broader expansion talk
• Eldar: possible additions tied to “Vex” plus other rumored unit/kit refresh ideas
• Tyranids: possible return discussion including “new warriors,” “new car effects” (unclear), and “new gargoyles” (as heard)

Legion of the Damned (possible expansion)

The speaker says it was “more or less confirmed” that Legion of the Damned may get new models.

Anticipated direction suggested:

• Expanding from Kill Team into a fuller tabletop range
• Wish-list style ideas mentioned:
  • Legion of the Damned Dreadnoughts
  • Captains and characters

The speaker believes a bigger range could mirror how other factions expanded beyond smaller product lines (examples mentioned include Exodites and Orc-related expansions).

Key Strategies / Tips

• No direct in-game strategies are provided (no unit-by-unit tactics, build orders, or gameplay tips).
• The “strategy” content is indirect: what to prepare for purchase/collection and roster planning based on expected codex/model releases.

Christmas Box Set Contents (rumored)

The creator lists what they’ve heard so far about the Christmas box set lineup, highlighting the “Angelus Assault Force” most.

Rumored 40K Christmas box set modules

• Space Marines: Angelus Assault Force (spelling emphasized: “Angelus”)
• Orcs
• Imperial Knights
• Chaos Knights
• The speaker also implies additional boxes for AoS may be included, with uncertainty on exact counts (possibly including “worlds” as well).

Most detailed rumor (Space Marines)

“Angelus Assault Force” likely ties to:

• Vanguard Veterans
• Multipart Outriders / Outrider-style models (subtitles say “Outr rididers” as heard)
• A bike captain

Theme described:

• Assaulting “from the sky”, consistent with bike/jet/rapid-assault vibes.

Other faction themes (less certain)

• Imperial Knights: suggested as likely “Destria” themed (based on a “new Imperial Knight” reference)
• Chaos Knights: “your guess is as good as mine”
• Orcs: “your guess is as good as mine”
• If it connects to Necrons, the speaker wonders what could be inside, but doesn’t provide concrete items.

Missing / Rumor-heavy Projects Mentioned

Necro RPG removed from GW media

The speaker notes:

• A Necro RPG (Neck… RPG; subtitles unclear) was announced, but GW removed related media/knowledge later.

They cite speculation (not fact) that:

• There may have been a licensing/exclusivity conflict with another company.

They reference a viewer/source reaction:

• Mention of a “Mediocre Hobbies” video discussing the situation.

Featured Gamers / Sources (mentioned at the end)

• Mediocre Hobbies: referenced as a source/viewer channel discussing the RPG removal.

(No other specific gamer names or tournament players are explicitly identified in the provided subtitles.)
