YOU HAVE to read these, oh boy what a day for rumors. Still hearing more on Horus Heresy plastics, Sister and MORE come see!
Please take this information with a huge wad of salt. I was really tempted not to post this at all, because a lot of the time rumours are just so wrong its laughable.I was sent this information over several e-mails and this is the best I can do to put the releases into some chronological order. It could be very wrong.Here’s some bits of info:
– There’s mark 9 power armored marines on the way.
– Sister of battle are shortly after summer, just after WFB 9th ed.
– Horus Heresy is about to become very big, with Games Workshop building on the success of Forge Worlds game. This includes new plastic kits for Warhammer 30,000.
Current release schedule to my knowledge looks some thing like this:
– Harlequins.
– Archaon End times – Bloodthirster and Khorne Chaos Warrior kits.– Khorne Chaos space marine supplement.– Adeptus Mechanicus.
– 30K box set during the “red week” in May – This is a period of time staff members cannot take time off from the shops.
– Some follow up releases to support the new rules set for 30k.
– Then WFB 9th rules.
– Horus Heresy releases
– Mark 9 Power armoured marines.
– WFB Releases for the Empire and Chaos – This includes the starter kit for WFB 9th ed.
– Sister of Battle (Actually a codex: Ecclesiarchy, but not called that).
This is by my own admission just guess work based on what I have been e-mailed. I don’t know if the order is correct or not. Or even if it is complete crap. I just thought it would be nice to share. This is an experiment, I don’t normally post anything without visible proof.
Now tie this into the previous set of rumors from Harry:

The implication is we’re going to see a GW-produced plastic Horus Heresy starter box/boxed game.

Hastings later suggested it might broaden over time to include more than just marines vs. marines.
