40K News, Rumours & More! LIVESTREAM!

Main summary

Key takeaways

News and Commentary

Overview

The livestream begins with technical chaos and viewer chatter, then rapidly shifts into a wide-ranging Warhammer 40K discussion of news and rumours. Alongside this are community challenges (member/subscription goals) and a steady stream of memes.

The host frames the show as “down the rumor hole” plus “other 40K news,” while repeatedly emphasizing that he is not sponsored by Games Workshop and claiming he refuses ad deals that don’t match his personal taste.

Key 40K News / Rumours Covered

1) Codex availability and Grey Knights uncertainty

  • The host claims the Grey Knight Codex has been removed from the store, suggesting it may not be currently available and may be replaced soon (or at least is uncertain).
  • He expresses hope for new Grey Knight material, including:
    • A new Grey Knights Kill Team (with Thousand Sons also brought up in the same context).
  • He outlines a broader perceived release order:
    • Zenos → Imperium → Xenos cycles
    • and suggests Chaos doesn’t appear to be in the near mix, questioning where Chaos Space Marines fit.

2) What might be coming next for Space Marines / Kill Team

The host speculates that:

  • A major Space Marine reveal could happen, but not everything will be “codex-sized.”
  • A Dreadnought might arrive as a mid-edition release, rather than tied directly to a codex.
  • Leads of the Damned is suggested as a Kill Team-focused release, intended primarily for Kill Team (even if usable in 40K).

3) Battlefleet Gothic and terrain/game structure rumours

  • There is heavy discussion of Battlefleet Gothic:
    • The host says rumours suggest it may be horror-themed
    • but he specifically wants classic 40K fleet content, calling out Orc and Necron fleets as desired options.
  • He also comments on GW marketing/formatting around “Warhammer 40,000 battlefields” terrain:
    • recurring complaints include pricing and that it can feel overly complicated/templated for events.

4) “Morian” / webway narrative and lore uncertainty

  • The stream discusses whether Mordian/Morian is “dead.”
  • The host claims a narrative tournament event involving the opening of a webway above the location has happened.
  • There’s debate over whether GW has officially confirmed the planet’s status versus relying on wikis.
  • He concludes it seems closer to a battlefield outcome (with vibes like “Armageddon 2.0”) than complete lore certainty, and asks viewers to verify/forward links.

5) Primarch reveals and “bear vs wolf” confusion tied to Beyond

  • The host attempts to interpret a rumour image/story, repeatedly mocking confusion about whether “Beyond” imagery is a bear or a wolf.
  • He insists the connection is mostly translation/name-based (Beyond → bear in Swedish), rather than an actual unit identity.
  • He wants a Primarch reveal for Christmas, but doubts it will happen.
  • His longer-shot guess for a late-year reveal is a Warhound Titan (including discussion of plastic Warhound possibilities).

6) Total War: Warhammer 40K and Dawn of War 4 features

  • He argues Dawn of War 4 is being delayed to ensure quality, reading it as a dev-style update:
    • Replays and spectator mode are targeted for launch, but not guaranteed “100%.”
    • priorities include bug fixes and performance, with UI and further testing still in progress.
  • He repeatedly links future plans to Total War 40K, and claims a potential 2027 summer timeframe connected to big 40K anniversary talk (as per rumours).

Gaming / Hobby Commentary (Terrain, Pricing, Community Attitudes)

  • The host criticizes GW event practices that “break immersion,” especially when branded templates/overlays are placed on new terrain.
  • He argues third-party terrain is often better and cheaper.
  • He suggests prepainted terrain is frequently treated as mainly for events/demo setups.
  • He also comments on the general FOMO structure of box releases, implying many launches optimize for product turnover rather than long-term sustainability.

Presenter / Ethical Stance Repeated

  • The host insists he won’t advertise products he doesn’t like, citing integrity and claiming he refuses ad spots he isn’t personally hyped about.
  • He also pushes back defensively against “scam” accusations related to subscription/gifting mechanics, insisting gifting isn’t a scam.
