Rubics tail end of year, C.S.M revamp next. As others and I have said before.
There’s not really any room this year. You have two lots of Heresy stuff, the first of which I think is soon. Although perhaps abit later than I was originally expecting. I heard the next 2 weeks of May are; ST Expansion and then the RoB board. So I don’t think there coming this month, April-May just referred to the rules. I thought they’d drop with the rules but obviously not. Unless they come right at the start of the June, but I don’t think that would work… On top of that; Fenris pt 2, AoS 2nd edition/3 ways to play/whatever you want to call it, Slyvaneth, Metal Duardin, A mountain of Tzeentch releases. As a GUESS maybe they’ll get a repack for Chaos marines.
That’s not even counting in for new codex launches for Genestealer Cults and Deathwatch (Not saying there this year, I have no idea atm.) Shadowkin, which will later tie into Slaanesh stuff. On top of that, more Greenskins, a Summer Campaign. I don’t even think all that is going to fit in this year. Nevermind a CSM release, maybe a quick slapdash codex at most.
-Disclaimer: Releases are not necessarily listed in order.
– 2nd Disclaimer- I haven’t actually heard the Heresy stuff isn’t coming this month either. I just know the Battle Board is coming and I can’t see them releasing that and Heresy in the same week.
…AoS 2nd ed (It’s not called 2nd ed, just my name for it) should drop mid-late June, Slyvaneth straight after leading into July, then the Summer campaign.
Here’s what BoLS had to say about the above rumor line up earlier:
So that’s a very large set of releases for 6 months. All of these have been mentioned in the past except for Shadowkin. In no particular order this list it covers the following. We have bolded the items that have been 100% confirmed via photographs.
40K:
- Warzone Fenris Pt.2
- Rubric Marines
- CSM Revamp
- Codex Genestealer Cults
- Codex Deathwatch
Age of Sigmar
- General’s Handbook
- Realm of Battle Board
- Summer Campaign
- Sylveneth (editor’s note: these are the next AoS faction – more on them soon)..
- Steelhead Duardi
- Tzeentch stuff
- Shadowkin
So long story short, another batch of rumors that seems to line up with what some of us have been hearing mostly over the last weeks. Next week’s teasers weren’t much help either, so what is coming for memorial day is still a bit of a mystery. But if I was to put money on it, they’ll make it BIG whatever it is!
I would LOVE to see plastic Horus Heresy minis after all that’s for sure, Betrayal at Calth flavored or not!
