Games Workshop even seems to be rolling back elements of the Primaris space marine redesign.

Even by the standards of Warhammer 40,000, the planet Armageddon is a seriously awful place to live. Currently enjoying its third all-consuming war against near-unstoppable invaders, it is at this point so blighted and irradiated that humans can only survive inside artificial habitats—that is, until they get bombed into dust by Orks during yet another offensive.
All of which makes it the perfect battleground to take centre stage in the game's new edition, announced at Adepticon this week. Not just because of its peak grimdarkness, but because it's got such a long history in the game and the lore—and this latest era for the game looks to be steeped in nostalgia for the game's past.
The new box set leading the way for 11th edition harks all the way back to the 2nd edition starter set released over 30 years ago, once again pitting Blood Angels against Orks on Armageddon. The models included seem to indicate a gentle step backwards from the revamped Primaris look for space marines, with a new Intercessor squad that reincorporates old elements such as the classic helmet design.
In terms of the new rules, 11th edition seems more iterative than major shake-up—but there are some key changes on the way, including:

Also revealed at Adepticon was a whole host of other miniatures and releases across GW's suite of games. For Kill Team, the Terror on Devlan box will allow you to play out a whole narrative campaign pitting an elite Cadian scout squad against one giant tyranid beast—returning favourite The Red Terror. Yes, it is basically Predator in a box, and the minis look ace.
Meanwhile Age of Sigmar is getting a big new wave of models for its Cities of Sigmar faction—including Cogforts, which are basically walking castles. Particularly interesting is the Cities of Ash box for the Spearhead game mode. Again baiting nostalgia, the set pits human soldiers against the skaven of Clan Eshin in a ruined city, directly evoking long dead fan favourite Mordhei...Read more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
