More Valrak rumours

Seems the previously rumoured cataphractii won't be happening if this is all accurate.

On the Bolter & Chainsword forums Valrak said that on reflection the 3-man elite sword unit might be the Cataphractii unit he'd heard about.

Which suggests to me that whatever source he's reporting on didn't give him very detailed information.

Hmm... a 3-man unit of termis doesn´t sit right with me. Would totally preffer to get those swordsmen and then, apart, termis.
 
Still sounded something like Eightbound, though maybe something more Akin to Death-shroud terminators. Not sure I'm too positive about our possessed / big bad Elite unit and unique terminators essentially being merged into one unit, but it;s keeping in line with World eaters.

Rumour was that the two ere designed / conceptualised almost in tandem and it was just a matter of which was to release first, with COBID then putting a further spanner in the works. If true having a unit very similar to that makes sense and may indicate more about the scale and nature of the release. (honestly I pretty much expect us to get a very similar release to WE).

Going back to sacred numbered units and Noise Marines reflecting their current lore status as a subcult (rather than the mid 90s "all are noise marines).

I always preferred them Elite, Heavy and deadly. Dreaming of the unit able to kit out more Blastmasters and play like Havocs, Doom Sirens and run in or the Standard mix we have currently. Could make one unit feel like 3.
 
Some people in Reddit are saying tomorrow, dec 18th, Valrak is going to post a new rumour video about the contents of the EC release box. Perhaps a 100% invented rumour, but keeping me on edge for tomorrow!
