This is the hour of the Ultramarines!!! (Warhammer 40k announcement)

[Samtemdo8_v1legacy]

For the Avenging Son, The Victorious, The Master of Ultramar, and the Blade of Unity has awakened at last, Primarch Roboute Guilliman has returned:

Spoiler

Oh boy so the 40k End Times really is happening.

EDIT/UPDATE:

Trailer from GW:

 

[Zontar]

Oh great, Papa Smurf is awake. Why couldn't we get a more competent one like Russ or Vulcan? (as if they aren't coming soon)

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Oh boy, Gulliman won't be too happy with whats become of the Imperium or his Ultramarines.

Also check out the right of the photo. That's the new Cypher and a bunch of Fallen Dark Angels.

Fuck me, the left is a new Grey Knight Master.

All things considered though, that's a really impressive model. Might just have to grab it and paint it up good and sexy.

Eeh the Forge World Model is better:

 

[Thaluikhain]

Erm...ok. They going to Age of Sigmar 40k now?

Well sure, but that's only because Forge World doesn't have a horde of anesthetized blind howler monkeys doing their sculpting.
But still, for a bunch of comatose chimps this guy ain't bad.

Well those same Comatose Monkeys latest model of a Khorne Bloodthirster:

Looks alot cooler than the Forge World one:

Guilliman. Great. /sarcasm Shouldn't have brought Matthew "Spiritual Liege" Ward back, GeeDubs.

Should have been Corax. Then we'd at least have had someone interesting.

Eh I disagree. The GW plastic model looks too...cartoony. Like its the Diablo 3 to the Forge World's glorious Diablo 2

How dare you even compare the current GW model to anything remotely resembling Diablo 3 Diablo

But regardless I just hope that if CA adds Bloodthirsters in Total War: Warhammer, or Dawn of War 3 does it, I hope it at least looks like Skarbrand:

Oh, shit.

This is the first I've heard of this. How on Earth Holy Terra could they hire him back? Doesn't GW know about his reputation among the fanbase?

...Stupid question. This is Games Workshop we're talking about. They have an active hatred for their fans. See: the Storm of Chaos event. [https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storm_of_Chaos]

Oh, well. At least this time I have front-row seats for the end of one of my favorite franchises.

Here should be some proof for you.

Dammit, Ward. And damn you too, GW.

Wait they hired Ward back? Seriously? Why didn't the interweb explode?!

His wiki page says he's a novelist

They must have been really low key about it.

Also, check my post responding to Slumlord up there. That's a link to an article about Ward's return.

Well that explains the jump-pack equipped Cataphractii terminators and the orbital drop Knights.

Again I don't know, I just remmeber reading it on a post in a forum somewhere and never confirmed whether is was a jest or serious.

But than again if Ward is writing for Dawn of War 3, where are the Ultramainres?
