HORUS HERESY – Wave 1 Info & Pre-Release This Week
Games Workshop’s pulling out all the stops this weekend and doing a pre-releases for the new Horus Heresy box set!
Multiple retailers who have spoken with us anonymously, have told Spikey Bits that Horus heresy will be a one and done release, FURTHERMORE, the supply coming out on November 14 is all that will be in the states until January. Even if GW is forced to crank out a second wave of the product, that would occur in the UK so there will be a delay in restocking the US to fill additional demand.
We also hearing that Wednesday was the deadline for retailers to get in on the big 70 box set deal from Games Workshop and secure a spot in this weekend’s “pre-release”.
Once again that seems to line up with what several other folks are saying online from the last week:
The Plan for Horus Heresy
via 75hastings69 10-28-2015
“As I said back in February 🙂 standalone HH game. Later develops into a main 30k range to replace hobbit on store shelves.
AdvertisementQ: Ok, so this will become an actual miniatures game and not be restricted solely to being a board game?A: That’s what I was told yes. Not sure on timeframe, but all so far is going exactly as I was told and posted.
…my source (who gave me the info in January) had already seen boxes with the 30k logo on printed some boxes had 30k & 40k logos on, as I reported in February. I will not go into specifics as to what these kits were, but they are obviously worked on already if the boxes are done 🙂
…The plan is for 30k to replace LotR on the store shelves, that plan and the releases AFTER HH standalone box is already WELL into the production time cycle.”

Perhaps more curious is the notation: Core Game for this product chart picture doing the rounds.
Other Core Games in the past included Dark Vengeance, Black Reach, and Battle for Macragge for 40k, and Island of Blood for Fantasy.
