The Plan for Horus Heresy
“As I said back in February 🙂 standalone HH game. Later develops into a main 30k range to replace hobbit on store shelves.
Q: 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.”
We’ve heard that Hobbit and LoTR products have been getting rotated out of Games Workshop stores, is Horus Heresy the nail in the coffin for nearly 15 years of Tolkien miniatures?
It also stands to reason that sculpts of the new HH sprues over the current “push fit starter miniatures” like Dark Vengeance indicates a dedication to quality that we currently normally only see in multi-part box sets.
Seems like it would make sense that they would release the Betrayal at Calth miniatures separately, post holiday season.
It even has a huge cross over potential with Forge World as well, so any continuation of interest past the initial box set release seems like a boon for both sides of Games Workshop as a company to boot.
