Editing Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition (section)

===New Models===
* '''Primaris Space Marines''' finally get Assault versions of Intercessors who wield Astartes Chainswords (Chainswords with -1 AP), Lieutenants being shown with a NEO-Volkite Pistol ( 15" S5 D2 Pistol 2 that deals a mortal wound for each unmodded 6 to-wound roll), Bladeguard Veterans (elite marines with storm shields and relic swords), and most of all: Primaris Outriders, [[awesome|Primaris Space Marines on bikes.]] In general it seems that Primaris are getting more toys, especially toys that finally give them assault options.
** Outside of the Indomitus set, Primaris Space Marines also get a Firestrike Servo-Turret (Stationary turret that can have either twin-linked accelerator Autocannons or Las-talons), Primaris Techmarines, a [[Awesome|Primarine Biker Chaplain]], and the Invader ATV (A large ATV mounted with a heavy weapon that's basically the Outrider equivalent to the Attack Bikes. Just imagine a Primaris version of [[Ork]] [[Warbuggy]].) They're also getting the [[Starcraft|Hammerfall Bunker]], a Fortification with a big missile launcher and side-mounted Heavy Bolters/Heavy Flamers, and the Gladiator, the Primaris version of the Predator on the Impulsor chassis, and comes with 3 loadouts, short and long range anti-armour, and anti-infantry.
* '''Necrons''' get their own special models from the new box. Warriors finally freed from the green tubes and with new guns, Skorpekh Destroyers (New destroyers with spider-legs and arm-blades) with a Plasmacyte hanger-on, a bigger Skorpekh Lord, the Canoptek Doomstalker (A more beefy, attack-oriented Reanimator armed with a massive Doomsday Blaster and twin auxillary gauss flayers), [[Cryptothrall]]s (new lackeys for Crypteks) and Royal Warden (Elite-looking Immortal to act as the Primaris Lieutenants).
** Necrons are also set to receive at least five new models not included in the box. These are the Lokhust Heavy Destroyer (A revamped Heavy Destroyer fitted with advanced optics and armed with either a Gauss Destructor or Enmitic Exterminator), a new C'Tan shard now confirmed to be Mag'ladroth the [[Void Dragon]], and an updated Monolith with two weapon options for its corner guns (the traditional Gauss Flux Arcs, and something that looks similar to the Doom Scythe's Death Ray in miniature form; plus the Convergence of Dominion, a stunning set of 3 models that form a Fortification that seems to have weapons called Transdimensional Abductors), [[Ophydian Destroyer]]s (The return of the OG Wraiths), and new specializations for the [[Cryptek]]. Oh, and of course there's the Silent King himself. 
* After their massive release last edition, the '''[[Death Guard]]''' just got a new HQ this time around, the [[Lord of Virulence]].
* '''[[Dark Eldar]]''' got a plastic Lelith Hesperax. At least they can field the new Eldar Corsair like their non-sick fucks cousins.
* Another faction that's just getting a new HQ, the '''Adeptus Mechanicus''' are getting a [[Skitarii Marshal]] to lead their cohorts of cyborgs into battle.
* Despite their range revival being less than a year old at the time, the '''Sisters of Battle''' got a decent if not massive release. They got characters like the Sisters Dogmata, the Palatine and Aestred Thurga, but also new elite infantry in the Celestian Sacresants, the Paragon Warsuits and a faction leader with [[Morvenn Vahl]].
* Despite getting nothing last edition, the '''Grey Knights''' just got an HQ, with a plastic [[Castellan Crowe]]. Bummer
* The '''Thousand Sons''' also only got a new HQ, the Infernal Master, a Chaos Sorcerer who especializes inn summoning Daemons. One day Geedubs will figure out how to make special Daemon Engines for them, but that day is not today.
* Now moving on to the major releases, the '''Orks''' introduced a whole new subfaction in the Beast Snaggaz to swell the ranks alongside last edition's brushup. The new boyz in town got their own named characters, HQs, Squig cavalry, infantry, vehicles, you name it. As for the "normal" boyz, the Megaboss makes his return, though considerably different and lacking ANY customization, as well as new Boyz, Kommandos and finally new Deffkoptas. Also, we actually got a plastic, 40K scale Ork [[Gargant]]!.....'s [[Big'ed Bossbunka|head]], which the important Orks can use as a bunker.
* '''Genestealer Cults''' got a new HQ with the [[Reductus Saboteur]], who especializes in explosives and, well, sabotage.
* '''Adeptus Custodes''' got a character all about damage dealing in melee combat, the [[Blade Champion]].
* The '''T'au''' got a plastic Subcommander Miyamoto "No, Not the Nintendo Guy" [[Darkstrider]]. Latter, a new Kill Team would be released featuring a [[Kroot]] [[Kroot Kindreds|Kinband]] seemly lead by a new plastic [[Shaper]]. So far every Kill Team kit has seen an individual release as part of their 40K faction, and if that is the case here then some of the oldest crap the T'au still had is finally retiring.
* '''Craftworld Eldar''' are getting a '''FUCK HUEG''' model range update. KHAINE BE PRAISED. New models include Guardians (both Defenders and Storm ones in the same kit), Dark Reapers, Rangers, an Autarch (compatible with the existing plastic kit), Avatar of Khaine, a new unit called Shroudrunners (Rangers on Bikes), Shining Spears, Maugan Ra, Warlocks, and the Kill Team Corsairs.
* After roughly seven years, the '''Tyranids''' got a new model, the [[Parasite of Mortrex]]. Unfortunatly, it seems they are joining the "you get a new HQ and that's it" club for 9th Edition.
* The '''Chaos Knights''' are getting their own dedicated War Dog kit, rather than relaying on the loyalist one. This one comes with options for full melee, range and a mixture of both. Their Desecrator/Rampager kit also got updated so that you can build a Knight Abominant out of it, a new type of Chaos Knight with a tentacle arm that counts as a Psyker.
* '''Chaos Space Marines''' are getting a sizeable expansion to their Cultist ranks between new sculpts for the base cultists, Accursed Cultist Mutants (because where else were we gonna get them?), the Dark Commune (Spooky cultist-looking HQ squad, likely to make Cultist-only detachments) and the Accursed Cultist Torments (Giant abominable blobs of WTF slapped together). The legions are getting their own things too with updated Possessed Marines and a newer, bigger and badder Daemon Prince (with plenty of bits that it can be built for any of the Four Gods, Undivided and Age of Sigmar as well with little to no modifications), along with a plastic Warpsmith and Chosen. If you wanna count it, the [[Blackstone Fortress]] traitor guard also made a return alongside the traitor commissar and mutant ogryn thanks to the Kill Team Moroch set.
* With their Codex anounced with no mention of new models, it seems the '''Chaos Daemons''' model release scheduale is now firmly tied to AOS releases rather than 40K. So for the interest of counting them, the new plastic [[Be'lakor]] released under AOS but during 9th Edition and the new Daemon Prince we talked about above actually leaked from the upcoming [[Slaves to Darkness]] release so that will release during 9th as well. 
* Before they got their big 40K release the '''Imperial Guard''' actually got a few sporatic releases here and there as the players waited not-patiently-at-all, with [[Tanith First (And Only)|Gaunt's Ghosts]] becoming an HQ squad for a [[Black Library]] event and the [[Death Korps of Krieg]] getting a plastic infantry squad via Kill Team. The waiting is not over as of writing this, but leaks later officially revealed by GW have so far confirmed that they are getting a revamped and less boxy [[Sentinel]] that builds both variants, the return of the [[Kasrkin]] as models (via Kill Team) and the introduction of Ursula [[Creed]], the surprise daughter of everyone's favorite tactical genius. The 35th Anniversary revealed the addition of Field Support Batteries for lighter forms of artillery as well as the introduction of Cadians as their own special units, such as Shock Troopers with more special weapons but no heavy weapons and the solo-fighting Castellan. Later on, the [[Rogal Dorn Battle Tank]] was unveiled as a new heavy tank that seems to be somewhere between the Leman Russ and the Baneblade in size and power, and a new character was added in the form of Lord Solar Arcadian Leontus.
* Since the '''[[Leagues of Votann]]''', the revamped version of the [[Squats]], are being released as a new army, they will obviously get their own share of models this edition. So far they have confirmed [[Hearthkyn Warriors]], the basic infantry kit coming with plenty of options, [[Einhyr Hearthguard]], which are basicaly Squat Terminators, and Hernkyn Pioneers mounted on, um, Hovertrikes. [[Skub|Yeah, that reveal was fun]]. Later reveals would give us the [[Brôkhyr Thunderkyn]] (heavy weapons squad with exo-frames to carry the guns), the [[Hekaton Land Fortress]] as a transport, and heroes in the [[Kâhl]], [[Grimnyr]], and [[Brôkhyr Iron-Master]].
* The '''World Eaters''' will be getting new models for [[Khorne Berzerkers]], a Chaos Lord on a Juggernaut (with a named character variant), special cultists named [[Jakhals]], and the [[Eightbound]], possessed marines who are host to not one but EIGHT Khornate Daemons (with Exalted Eightbound being those who were merged into the daemons)...and [[Angron]].
