Eldrad Ulthran just issued an ominous prediction of the Grimdark’s future – come see Warhammer 40,000 fans!

Th GW Facebook page just put up this 40K teaser and it ties together a lot of the recent rumors and mini images we have seen:

Eldrad Rhana Dandra

Breaking it Down:

Like Ghouls in the Dark, the wicked ones gather, drawn to a Tragedy Unfolding.

That sounds a lot like a reference to the Dark Eldar to me.

Warning twice-given across the span of time, Stifled by pride and Hatred.

This could still be the Dark Eldar, or perhaps mankind, Eldrad did warn of the Heresy after all…

The strands of fate shall grow taut at the dawn of the Rhana Dandra.

Everyone hold onto your hat – Eldar has officially called the Rhana Dandra – the Eldar “Great Final Battle Against Chaos”

The death of all Eldar looms large, but fate can be twisted, even broken.

All of this seems to tie into the plan of Ynnead the new Eldar god of the Dead,and the Harlequin’s great trick to in a stroke destroy Slaanesh and save their race.

Here’s the previous teaser:

Eldrad Quote

Breaking it Down

So let’s take a look at exactly what we can glean from this teaser:

“All paths of fate have led us here”

Possibly a reference to Tzeentch involvement, or the actions of the Farseers themselves.

“We strike now not for vengeance but for a hope unknown until all others were lost”

Who knows, but I would think it’s an action that either is somehow tied to Ynnead the Eldar’s great hope against Slaanesh, or some other goal of striking against Chaos in a major way.

“The Black Watchmen will seek to bar us but we will not be denied”

A reference to the Deathwatch, or to the Black Legion as opponents – traditional Eldar enemies.

“Cegorach will laugh last and forever”

Clearly Harlequins are in the new Boxed Set.

“We make for Demensus”

Most likely the setting for the new campaign/expansion/etc…
