[@Werrf1]

So many recent stories have revolved around the Webway. The Lion's Forest Walk ability is basically a personal webway. The Watchers in the Dark guarded the Ouroboros, a Webway-building machine. Vashtorr built Wyrmwood, a planet that can bore into the Webway, using the parts of an Old Ones Webway-building machine. Wyrmwood showed up from the Webway during the Pariah Nexus story. Stories keep using the Webway - perhaps not entirely revolving around the Webway, but it keeps being a factor. And now they're soliciting stories set in Commoragh, the city in the Webway. The pattern continues - so either they _are_ building up to the Khan's return, or they want us to _think_ they are.

Based on your current rumors, I’m gonna make the very easy bet that the 11th edition launch box will be named “ARMAGEDDON.”

[@PBRatLord]

Commorragh is pronounced like 'comm-or-ah' (also said as 'comm-or-ach' much like a Germanic or Hewbrew sort of throaty sound), as it's another 40k less-than-subtle tip of the hat to the story of Sodom and Gommorrah. Also, keep in mind a rather minor new Sororitas book actually had an Imperial ship successfully breech the Tear in order to recover The Praesidium Protectiva from the hands of Chaos, though it came at a great cost.

Warhammer 40K: Age of The Emperor is coming

[@foreverfornever1124]

Vulkan coming back seems more plausible now that you mention it! Convient the next edition pertains to the orks and a new wagh, considering the relation with Vulkan. Could be an awesome segway into Salamanders getting more narrative lore in search for the remaining artefacts. Maybe the last of the artefacts are on Armageddon and/or brought there in a God Emporer fate aligned type deal. Also, still a personal theory, but I think the energies of the Wagh from Gork and Mork after the fight with the Beast, were imbeded into Vulkans dna and we could see a different version of him. The contrast and comparisons of Vulkan and Orks would be a very interesting clash

[@srchubz]

[@foreverfornever1124]

@@foreverfornever1124 I'm thinking the Khan is next. Sadly, methinks they're gonna keep Vulkan on perpetual guard duty near the Throne

[@foreverfornever1124]

@ khan could very well be next too. I figured they would hold off on him until Drukari get some narrative focus again. I really thought they were going to be the next launch faction but I guess Orks are all but confirmed. Maybe the 12th ed launch we see Drukhari, which then ties in the Khan as well for late 11th, similar to the Space Wolves, Russ and Ork segway into 11th from 10th. Vulkan I do agree is really back pocket save for GW but I do think he will have a very grand entrance that probably will pertain to the Throne

[@srchubz]

@@foreverfornever1124 my personal thoughts are that the Orks + SW, especially given the start of the "Wolftime" Dawn of Fire series, and given the Armageddon talk... Russ comes back via warp/space hulk/etc. to launch 11th. I think also since the warp's involved the Custodes will get linked in some manner, which leads to Drukhari/White Scars + Khan

Valrak keeps gaslighting everyone with the lies that xenos narratives will ever matter. 11th will surely be a Ork box then we won't care about orks for the entire edition and we will get new Imperium vs Chaos plotlines, perhaps the return of the first non-four chaos primarch?

[@vocenoctum2046]

I commented on a previous video that I was thinking the next Chapter Approved might move to Vigilus (since we're in Pariah Nexus now) to give an update there. It'd also tie in nicely with releasing the four aspected chaos space marine factions and binding the demons to them.

[@kennyleung9909]

Wow, imagine that. Jaghatai Khan as a supersized Grotesque or Talos, with parts from his jet bike infused to make him fly faster than any Drukari craft. They let him loose when the battle of Commoragh is at its most desperate. A great chance for a rematch, have mid air battle. Daemon Mortarion vs Grotesque Khan. Or Angron.. Or just have him clobber Fulgrim.

I’ve already drafted half a dozen potential entries for the BL submission! But you’re half right Valrak, usually BL open submissions happen when writers reach the end of their contracts with GW and have chosen not to renew them, but also when GW are planning the next stage of story progression in one of their IP, if I remember correctly. They also don’t really hire a lot of writers except through Open Submisions which is also kind of a form of promotion for the company. They aren’t seeking out writers, they’re making writers come to them. The submission conditions themselves are incredibly harsh too, kind of as a trial by fire for new writers, to see their knowledge, writing style, and efficiency with such a small word count. Sorry for the word salad, but I felt I had some interesting stuff to say on the topic haha

Western style high fantasy (and its Sci-Fi offshoot) is what Japan in particular is interested in.

[@DekkarJr]

Ok i came up with a decent theory based on the info you provided about the Dark Eldar seeking assistance from the Imperium. I think they are ramping up the Chaos stuff because they are going to set up a scenario where the Imperium, the Eldar, the Dark Eldar, and of course the Tau probably and maybe even the Orks and you can bring in some of the Votann and stuff like that too if you like, could form an intergalactic alliance to beat back the forces of chaos, and then that sets up the perfect united defense force of the 2nd worst threat to the galaxy in my opinion: The tyranids. As at war all of these factions are, they all have been known to cooperate with each other when particularly facing these 2 other factions. I bet even the Necron could be convinced it is in their best interest to help as well.

There have been 3 major wars on Armageddon. the first was the forces of Angron, his World Eaters and Daemonic legions vs the forces of the Inquisition, Grey Knights & Spacewolves under the leadership of Logan Grimnir. The second and third wars saw the combined might of the Imperium under the leadership of Commissar Sebastian Yarrick. vs the massed forces of Orks lead by Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. The forth war will see history come full circle with the Daemonic legions of Khorne returning, I see Ghazghkull leading the biggest WAAAAAGH in all history back too Armageddon to "Find da dirty zoggin git whut offed iz brudder from a diffrent mudder...AND TURN IM INTA BLOODY PASTE!!". Meaning, Ghaz is going back to Armageddon to hunt down Angron to avenge the death of Yarrick. The fourth Armageddon campaign starts off with the massed forces of the Imperials fairing poorly against the might of the Daemonic Legions and Traitor Space Marine legions lead by Angron. In the darkest hour, as the Imperials are preparing for a last stand, Ghazghkull and the WAAAGH to end all WAAAGH's hammers home into the flanks of Angrons forces. We maybe see Angron and his bodyguard of Bloodthirsters facing off against Ghazghkull who might just find himself backed up by Imperial heroes (Logan, Dante, Roboute, Lion'el, etc). Anyhoo...my theory, for what it's worth. Hope I'm somewhat close. ;)
