This new box set isn’t just going to introduce new plastics to the game – it’s also going to be a super good deal. I guess they weren’t joking about those “Plastic Sisters” in the Red Bin after all…

So now we have a new Daemon Primarch, Thousand Sons & Space Wolves, and Plastic Mk. III Power Armor as well. Perhaps these are the kits that the rumors were talking about yesterday.

Moopy: I sincerely hope that the 1k Sons sprue ISN’T from the new end of the year HH boxed set with the custodians.

A:It’s not. The HH Marines in the game will be generic (except for the two characters).

But they come from the same CAD portfolio. Take, say, the computer models of generic 30K Tartaros Pattern Terminators, add 40K bling, change poses, switch a few weapons -> 40K Rubric Terminators. Saves time and effort and costs.

Same for the Tzeentch models. It was a massive design portfolio that included everything from Tzaangors to LoC and Magnus. They may not be the same sprue, but include lots of computer “bitz” and design elements from a large, newly created Tzeentch-design-elements-library.

(Similar approach for Khorne, Stormcast, etc..). “

Whatever the case – The next Horus Heresy game is on the way with tons of new miniatures and options. Of course this means we’ll probably be getting new data sheets and probably formations as well…The Hype-Train has left the station!

 

There aren’t any Wolves on Fenris cause they are on Prospero BURNING IT DOWN!
