40K BOMBSHELL: End Times Coming!
The End Time for 40K is coming!
At the recent Black Library Weekender, some interesting things came up. The most significant of which was vastly overlooked.
Remember that little bit in the 6th edition Rule book that said there was a flaw in the Golden Throne? Well, that little hint has grown into a full blown story line.
It will be part of the next Ultramarine story arc. He also said he is back for good, not just as a plot device to be put away when finished with.
The only truly dead ones are Ferrus Manus and Sanguinius.
Food for thought…. What Primarch do you most want to see return?
UPDATE: Graham McNeill responds:
To quote the late, great Brian Glover, “This is rumour control, here are the facts…”
You may have seen a few rumours flying around t’interweb about the end times of 40k.
Advertisement40k is NOT ending (well, beyond the mechanisms of the Golden Throne failing, the constant encroachments of alien invaders and the insidious corruption of Chaos…).
Context is everything…
This all came about after a conversation I had at the BL Weekender III, where I talked about things I’d LIKE to do in the next Ultramarines trilogy (not necessarily GETTING to do, but which I’d LIKE to do). One of the things I said was that I thought it’d be fun to bring Guilliman back, “probably not in a literal way, but in some form or another, and that such an event would, naturally, have further ramifications for the Chapter…”. I also said that I’d floated a bunch of ideas past the guys at editorial and had received a cautious, “That sounds pretty cool,” response.
And that’s it. That’s as far as any “progress” on this has gone.
So, get those panties unbunched, those knickers untwisted. Keep Calm and Keep Playing 40K.

A couple points to note on the response:
1) Boy that was FAST (hmmm…) GW as a rule ignores incorrect rumors…
2) Strictly speaking Graham’s response avoided the concept of there being an WFB-like End Times series of game books. He kept his comments strictly constrained to talking about the novel in question. His words are very carefully chosen.
