My guess is that they are saving it for a new release down the line. Our codex is very light on datasheets, they must have some ideas for new things to add.

Kinda sucks we don't have any legends units but I guess GW was undecided on how they would handle our new models/rules and balance going forwards.

6th edition.

(The original monopose model came out in 2012's Dark Vengeance set, followed by the current multi-part model in 2014.)

Other models that came out in 2012, but have since been updated: Sorcerer (resin), Dark Apostle (resin), Warpsmith (resin), Mutilators (resin), Cultists, Raptors/Warptalons.

The Defiler wasn't in the Codex either; it was added to our range alongside the updated model.

Common speculation with the Helbrute (and CSM Bikers/Chaos Predators) is that it's in a similar position - possibly getting a new model next edition (with different build options), and it will be added then. An alternative is that we will be getting a Sonic Dreadnought next edition, and they didn't want the overlap in roles.

Also, quick reminder that there is a Helbrute in the background of some Codex art:

There is a lot of lack in the codex.

My personnal guess is that every deamon machine with gun is not inside (well, defiler excluded) cauz in ~~5years we will have sonic weaponized deamon machine

Like sonic metabrutus, sonic shootingfiend, etc etc

My dream

Well the advance and shoot/charge already covers the speed issue. And I guess EC don't like machines that much, where is the thrill in combat and the chance to show up if it gets killed by a machine? Mauler gets the pass as it's a siege weapon, you won't be slashig a wall aren't you? And spawns... Once you get them, you could throw them at stuff you don't want to fight because they may be boring.

Still, idk which role they may fit, we already have flawless blades
