A range refresh would be nice but it would be very difficult to make them the big bad of an entire edition. They aren't really a major power in the galaxy, they're more of an annoyance. They really only still exist because the risk-reward ratio for destroying them is too low for anyone to bother. It would be like trying to make the Tau a major antagonist faction.

@@DeusExMachina10001 Oh I totally get them not being the biggest or the best faction for longevity as an opponent, it's just more I think they should have a range refresh as they are missing so much and they are in the lore around the golden throne needing to be replaced. They would be interested to see with the mechanicus as the starter box as a way to apologise to the admech about being in the gutter for so long too. I know what you're saying with making them an antagonist faction but I'm purely looking at it as fixing real world issues.

@@DeusExMachina10001 What? DE aren't comparable to Tau. Commorragh itself is insanely gigantic not even mentioning countless sub-realms around it, the population there is huge and doesn't consist of just eldar. Even that marine invasion there happened in a small district with everything prepared for their arrival, Vect used them to take out his rivals, that force was allowed to retreat before a large population even took notice, fleeing while leaving behind their comrade marines to be tortured. When Dark Eldar capture even Custodes for entertainment purposes, the power of their raids can be of any scale GW needs in order to take the mantle of big antagonists. Especially since Vect ascended to "Dark Muse" there are a lot of justifications to increase their activities on wide galaxy.

@jacksonmcmillen3209 4 күн бұрын

@@ruslanhoncharenko2179yeah agreed, I think the Drukhari are really under utilized and a lot of people don’t know the crazy scale of Commorragh. Kabals can have millions of members and it’s not unusual for them to be running 100+ world scale raids at the same time. The only issue is giving the Drukhari reason to attack other than gather slaves but someone creative could create some lore for that. I think a pretty sick story would be some Drukhari stealing some important artifact and the imperium having to launch a large campaign into some minor corner of Commorragh to get it back, it’s just such a cool and atmospheric location that we rarely get to see. Fields of posed skeletons, toxic green rivers, labyrinthine ruins and statues, twisted huge dark cities all basked in the dim light of captured dying stars. Who knows what else lies in that place

Now, I can get behind that. Definitely no more loyalist marines. If we get a 11th imperium faction it should be guardsmen (and new regiment, perhaps valhalla/tallarn? assuming we get catachan killteam before that) or sisters. Dark Eldar or Emperor Children on the other side, 100%. I personally wouldnt give Dark Mechanicum its own codex. I think it'd be better to mix them with the Chaos Legions. More is not always better. We need less space marine and friends codex, not more (with Emperor Children being the exception, its 1 of the 4 chaos gods dedicated legions). Deathwatch should move to Imperial Agents too, and perhaps Black Templars to regular marines too, even if its my favorite chapter.

@monkeyhammer 4 күн бұрын

I think Dark Eldar are a bit more likely because they feel like they are in a similar place to the Tyranids and Necrons before their releases, they haven't had any significant model released in recent times and their core range is from 2011 with a lot of finecast stuff. Also the fact they are definitively bad guys is a strong point in their favour. I don't think existing popularity plays much of a part in the decision, because being an edition antagonist is a way for them to build a player base and force a faction to become popular, Death guard would be way more niche if they hadn't been in 8th edition.

Way I'd do it if i was GW For our 10e codex give us Grotesques. For 11e launch have an Archon + Court. Some Kabalites, a beast pack and a raider. Sell Vect as a stand alone character but also a New Ynari HQ who leans more Drukhari. That way the half box has some appeal to Alderi players.

Man, I can at least dream that the Imperium side will be Astra Militarum. Imagine a Tempestus Scions themed box with a Taurox Prime, Tempestus character unit of some sort in command, and two Scions units. Maybe some kind of scout vehicle themed with them introduced as part of the new edition. Maybe sending them against the Eldar or Drukhari would be neat, and even give us some new sculpts for those units. I don't play Eldar or Dark Eldar, but I'd still love to see them get some love. Additionally, some new "Vs" boxes would be neat, with a 'good-ish' side and a 'definitely evil' side. T'au vs Nids; Aeldari vs Drukhari, Astra Militarum vs Genestealer Cults, Marines vs Orks, etc. I know a lot of people would find a friend who wants stuff for the other army and split it, or get them as starter kits for getting friends into the hobby while getting some minis of their own.

Lets the range refresh for Drukhari, Khan and Vect as characters. Agents/Deathwatch/inquisition vs Ynari works too in a flipped way. The inperium being the more chaotic side. It being Ynari allows refreshing stuff from Alderi and Drukhari. If the agents and Deathwatch do get merged into an Inquisition codex they will need models. Give Ynari a new Prince Yriel as a HQ.

Rumour is the next edition launch box will be Space Wolves vs. Orks, but given that Leviathan was rumoured to be either Dark or Blood Angel's against the 'Nids, they'll probably swap out the Wolves for Ultramarines again

The idea of a box set of CSM marking the return of a chaos primarch with the chaos marines being themed around that particular legion (like the DA got in Dark Vengeance) would be awesome. A Word Bearers vs. Raven Guard box marking the return of both Lorgar and Corvus would be an awesome, thematic product. But I'm not sure that's a viable starter box.

Probably the key is large appeal so the more niche factions seem less likely (though of course you can argue that some factions may not be popular because they don't get enough range refreshes etc. so vicious cycle), so considering that I would have to say Orks or CSM would be the most likely imo, both popular factions, both 'classic' antagonists vs marines.

Deathwatch going renegade not falling to chaos but going renegade due to the horrors of fighting and dying to the Xenos threat. Maybe then we would not be forgotten about lol.

The weird thing about the "Big bad" thing is that 9th and 10th both may have started with the big bad especially cause of the launch but through the rest of the edition the big bad from the PREVIOUS one did more stuff. In 9th the Necrons weren't really the actual thing to be fighting yet as much as Chaos was still there messing things up. In 10th, it may have starte with the 4th Tyrannic War but by now the lore's FINALLY discussing that whole Necron business, which would mean that in the latter parts of 11th we're finally going over the 4th Tyrannic war?

I know it would never happen, but I would really like to see a launch box without marines because they're so oversturated at this point, and there are definitely armies who could do with an update, i.e. votann, aeldari, thousands sons/general chaos marines

@sheilasherret9596 4 күн бұрын

GW should make 2 intro boxes so imperial factions that aren't space marines can get some love. Sisters, guard, custodes, and admech fans would all love it. That being said, 1ksons could use the new edition box for a range refresh with a psychic dread as a centerpiece. Paint the space marines space wolf colour and you've got an intro box.

With the lore being an entire edition behind (were going to be in 11th by the time the 4th tyranic lore will be the focus lore wise) they could do one with 2 xenos forces that need love but forgo massive lore focus for it Something like tau vs drukari or eldar vs daemons

I really think it's a 3 way race between dark eldar, thousand sons, and Orks. All of them have models that need to be updated from metal or resin (or plastic in the case of rubrics) or are just missing parts of their collection.

An ideal launch box would be no Space Marines and just Aeldari v. Drukhari. But that's not going to happen for the exact reasons outlined in the video. With all the Vastor lore drops I'd say a rebranded "Dark Mechanicum" is higher up there than we'd think.

@oneboltshortofreason 4 күн бұрын

Honestly considering Tyranids to be the "Big Bad" of 10th is kinda a joke, since we got one mention of the Ogram stuff then it immedietly swapped to Chaos and Necrons, with the 'Nids left in limbo as 'approaching' ever since 10th came out. The Imperium just left them there to deal with the Pariah Nexus stuff.

@NoOne-nm4ng Күн бұрын

I’d like it to be the Drukari. I know they’re like really low in numbers and so bringing out a massive threat to the wider galaxy might be difficult but man do they need more of a spotlight both lore wise and model wise.

@peterlepper5199 4 күн бұрын

Two back-to-back years of Xenos factions means Chaos is practically a shoe-in. We've seen CSM and Death Guard headline editions before, and World Eaters just recently got their new range, so seems to me like the logical options would be Thousand Sons (who desperately need a range refresh anyway) or Emperor's Children, if they don't get their new codex during 10th. Personally I'd love to see Thousand Sons make the spot, since they've been fairly well shafted both in terms of miniatures and models since their big range refresh with Wrath of Magnus eight years ago. They ravaged the Fenris system, popped the Planet of Sorcerers back into realspace, started rebuilding Prospero, and... nothing. The last time Magnus himself made a real appearance was when he tried to attack Guilliman on Terra and got kicked back through his own portal. He needs to get his get back somehow.

Most likely to be a Chaos faction (Chaos Marines or Emperor's Children or even World Eaters) , though the Drukhari would be cool to see revamped.

A major space marine vs chaos/xenos set and a secondary imperium vs different chaos/xenos set should be the norm. Space Marines are cool but an expansion of other Imperium and Xenos armies with new units and resculpts of old units needs to happen. Variety is good for the game

I agree that T'au seem unlikely as an 11th Ed antagonist, between the recent Kroot revamp extravaganza, their reputation as an "orderly" faction", and the fact their models still hold up remarkably well. However, I keep thinking of a blurb from a short story in the 10th Ed codex that points to the high likelihood of the Sixth Sphere of Expansion targeting Ultramar itself, perfectly lining up with a Ultramarine v T'au box set.

It would be cool if next edition was about the eldar. Make dark eldar the big bad and give them a brand new range refresh with new extra models, while throughout the edition craftwork’s eldar refresh models could come out for their oldest kits, and if James Workshop really wants to make elf people happy, near the end of the season they could finally release an exodite army. Do it GW, a literal fan made exodite model won golden demon this year!

Ynnari feel like a good option. It'd let them refresh two of the most neglected ranges in the setting without having to commit too heavily on either, though I'm not sure how you'd make a cohesive army out of the models in those factions that most need an update.
