The Latest From GW Corporate Stores:
November 7th has been listed as a “no time off” date for GW staff. This always occurs during the weekends of MAJOR product rollouts, such as New Edition rollouts and such.
We have been hearing from multiple sources that Horus Heresy is happening in the timeframe of early November and will be the major rollout of Q4 2015 for GW.
Thus we should be right on the cusp of official word and materials coming out of GW on the upcoming launch.
Today we just heard that retailers have been told the following from GW:
- Sales collateral (posters) will be arriving at all retail locations to be put up on October 31.
- The new posters will announce a MAJOR new product that will go up for sale the following Saturday November 5th.
We have seen this pattern multiple times before, such as the Glotkin posters that all GW stores got during the END TIMES rollout last year.
Will this be the contents of the new Horus Heresy box set? Safe money points to more pictures getting spotted later this weekend OR early next week!
