There is more than two new codex books on the way in August from Games Workshop. From Primaris to AoS and even Death Guard come find out what may be next.
We’re into week II or wave 2 for the new Space Marine releases, but we still know there is more out there coming from games workshop in their big mid month preview that will tease what didn’t make it into the White Dwaf Magazine.
Here’s our ideas on what will drop, and when based on previous releases cycles.
The current wave of releases for the Space Marines that have arrived already.
- Space Marines Primaris Aggressors $50
- Space Marines Primaris Reivers $60
- Space Marines Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought $65
- Datacards: Space Marines $15
- Warhammer 40,000 Astartes Dice $20
- Space Marine Codex $50
Next up is Wave Two hitting shelves this weekend:
- Repulsor Tank $80
- Apothecary $35
- Chaplain $35
And Wave 3 coming Aug 12th:
- Inceptor Multi-part Squad $50
- Hellblaster Multi-part Squad $60
- Interceptor Multi-part Squad $50?
- Primaris Upgrade Sprue $15?
Plus a few surprises:
- Grand Master Voldus $35
- Grey Knights Codex $40
- Grey Knights Datacards $15
- Chaos Space Marine Codex $40
- Chaos Space Marine Datacards $15
So what’s next for August? Could be more Space Marines and Age of Sigmar
August 19th
But would Games Workshop drop the GHB 2017 with no other product to go with it? Chances are we’ll see more Age of Sigmar that week as well. Maybe we’ll get some new “allies” box set bundles?
August 26th
There is of course a chance that the second half of the month will see the start of the Death Guard release However with 6 of the promised 10 codex books PLUS the Chapter Approved book due to arrive “by Christmas” that many supplements releasing that close, looks increasingly far fetched perhaps?
