Come see the Twelve new box sets that are coming soon! Games Workshop just dropped the first new Warhammer 40k releases for 2017!
In typical mid-month fashion Games Workshop came out swinging, previewing new release items that they did not put in their White Dwarf magazine.
Here’s what they say is on the way for 2017:
A first look at some new, great value sets that will be hitting the shelves in new year.
These are the perfect way to expand a new army (like the one you’re getting for Christmas, since you’ve been so good all year) or to re-visit an existing army that’s just been waiting for a few reinforcements.
These are the perfect way to expand a new army (like the one you’re getting for Christmas, since you’ve been so good all year) or to re-visit an existing army that’s just been waiting for a few reinforcements.
A couple of these and an HQ choice would give you a great start to a highly mobile force as the basis of a new army for the new year.
These sets will be available to pre-order on the 31st of December.
Now checkout this line from their release statement:
A first look at some new, great value sets that will be hitting the shelves in new year.
That seems to me to indicate that these sets will be following along in the Start Collecting / Battleforces box set foot steps by providing a super low cost (compared to those sets) alternative to starting the hobby. Or perhaps these are meant to compliment those sets by being the base building blocks of any army.
But don’t overlook the term “Great Value Sets”. I would imagine these will be priced at a reduced cost just buying the box sets separately.
So get ready for another great addition to the star collecting hobby line-up this January, which incidentally is the same weekend those Start Collecting Boxes turn one year old!
