A second boxed set including the more generic Cadians would be welcome
in my army.

Great news, looking forward to seeing these. Hopefully after four
revisions the final product will knock our socks off.

Good to hear that. Any word on the other Imperial Titans or the
Ordinatus machines? Have they considered a special boxed set or metal
bikes/vehicles with Harlequins and Harlequin insignias/sculpted faces,
etc.? Have you seen what the new Banelord looks like?

My bet is that we see an updated Squat army list in White Dwarf or the
Journal if they in fact want to stick to their principles. Same for the
Necrons, hopefully. As long as they release the lists without making us
buy another boxed set or book, they can release new races of epic
miniatures without worrying that they've broken the 'no supplements'
promise.

Second bet is that they wait a few years until Epic 40k version 2.
