Mephiston, Battleforces & December Product Pricing Rumors:

December 7 rumor product pricing

Coming from @wagamingdave, it looks like some sort of pricing has been revealed for what’s ahead. Just as much as the products themselves are rumors, so are the prices. However, going off of what some of the more recent GW releases have been, these price points may be surprisingly accurate.

Some heavy hitters in this list are the Battleforces, Mephiston (following the usual Primaris Named Character pricing of $40), and Chapter Approved/ Psychic Awakening: Blood of Baal.

We know the Battleforces are happening from recent previews and as for the Mephiston/ Blood Angel Vs. Tyranid support, we’ve also been hearing rumors about this for a while as well!

  • This expansion of Psychic Awakening will be themed around Blood Angels and Tyranids (probably picking up from the events of the Devastation of Baal).
  • Mephiston is supposed to be getting a new Primaris model.

Mepiston Teasers:

Warhammer Community teased what may be a new Primaris version of Mephiston at the Blood & Glory event late Saturday, November 2nd.

Lastly, we’ve got a look at the next character joining the Psychic Awakening…

The only question remains is whether he has crossed the rubicon, and become Primaris like so many before him as well.mephiston Top 5 40k Marine Characters That Need Updated Models

He also looks to be “rising” November 30th which could indicate a street date of December 7th, and seems to confirm the above-rumored pricing and release lineup.

Fun fact of the day, before he became the Lord of Death, Mephiston was just simply Brother Calistarius.

What do you think about the new Lord of Death?  Will he be Primaris?
