We keep hearing from all the rumor mongers that something BIG is coming next week, and yet no one has seen BOO about the new box set since July. Is it really coming?

This wouldn’t be the first time there was a false build up for a rumored plastic Horus Heresy release either, remember back in April when Lady Atia had us all thinking for sure it would also be coming out the very next week?

With Our Caveat: Note that most previous rumormongers up till last month were saying to look for plastic Horus Heresy in May with only “Lords of War” saying it was not going to happen.  It looks like we will know who’s really correct next week.

 

Indeed we did. Yep Lucy pulled the ball out from underneath us that time, but at least we got Dark Angels out of it though!

But now we’re hearing from tons of sources that the Horus Heresy is once again coming VERY Soon:

via Warseer’s Grissim2006 (collated from the last several months)

..Well according to my sources within GW the price tag floating around in here of it being £95 is wrong and it’s going to be a three figure price tag…

..Right guys you need to keep yourselves at the ready for dates the 7th and 14th of November…

The new Horus Heresy starter will go on pre-order for Halloween. It’s named the Battle for Calth, and will be $150 US.

Via Scanner 9-23-2015

Horus Heresy will be released the first week of November. We can pre order it the week before on Halloween.

 

So a lot of different sources seem to be lining up all in a row, but then the White Dwarf Teaser for these week seems to hint at Age of Sigmar and NOT anything to do with Horus Heresy:

An ominous portent indeed for fans of the Heresy! So will we see HH on Halloween, or is Lucy going to take the wind out of our sails once again (and fill it with Age of Sigmar)? Or is the Starborne Slaughter the teaser we’re looking for?
