RUMORS: Epic Horus Heresy Plans to Expand Into Warhammer 40k
There are some promising rumors out there about Epic Horus Heresy actually expanding into Warhammer 40k eventually.
We’ve been hearing a lot of rumors about Epic; however, with the recent teaser video from GW, it looks like it’s on the way somewhat soon. From everything we’ve been hearing about the game, it will be a smaller release and specifically for Horus Heresy.
But according to these new rumors, there is still some hope for a progression to Warhammer 40k! This is the first wave of new specialist games, but according to the rumors, we might only see it if the Horus Heresy version performs well. Let’s jump into the rumors!
RUMORS: Epic Horus Heresy Tentative Plans to Expand Into Warhammer 40k
These rumors come to us from Gary on Faeit 212.
The work on Epic began in 2018. Epic Horus Heresy will be the last production by GW with Jervis Johnson involved. Before he left GW in 2021, he was one of the Designers and an important advicer for those who work further on the game. He also was the biggest advocate within the company to bring the game back. This new Epic is his Baby like the past “Editions” were and will be part of his legacy.
Epic will be the first one of the “nextgen” of Specialist Games with others to follow. Like Necromunda the game comes to stay – they know how they will expand the game in the future. They have plans for expanding the Game out of the HH into the Great Crusade, M31, M41 ect. if the Game becomes strong enough.
This all lines up pretty well with what we’ve heard so far, which is always good. Then, it also lines up well with the timeline of Jervis Johnson (and how long it takes games to actually come out), leaving and putting in tons of work on the game.
If this is his last GW product, it will be interesting to see the game with his input. However, the most interesting thing here is that it’s the next generation of specialist games, where it’s not a fly-by-night product. If GW puts it out, they are going to put in the work.
Lastly, it would be pretty awesome to see the game expanded into so many different eras, and, maybe most importantly, 40k!
However, it seems that progression may be dependent on the game’s success, so let’s hope it sells well and we can get a 40k edition!

I blame LEGOs. There was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all... Twitter @catdaddymbg
