blood angels red thirst editionThere’s a new rumor floating around stating that Horus Heresy book eight Angelus won’t be released until 2018. Come see the latest on Forge World’s finest.

The latest rumor spotted on Bolter & Chainsword brings out some good points on what could have caused this delay.

Remember folks, this is a rumor so don’t forget to add some salt.

Basically, as the title states, the case may be that we’re not getting book 8 until Dec 2018.

I personally don’t have a problem with this when we take in account everything that happened in FW over the last year, from resources being transfered over to specialist games to the untimely passing of Alan Bligh.

It does make it far more likely that we will see a lot of catch-up units in the meantime, Fulmentarus, Dorn, Alpharius, etc etc.

So, if the rumors are correct, it looks like we’ll be getting Horus Heresy: Angelus sometime in December, of 2018. This is completely understandable with the loss of Alan Bligh and resources being moved around to help out with specialist games.

We got a summary of what Angelus is going to hold inside the covers back in February during the Horus Heresy Weekender.

As of now this is the latest we’ve heard on the Horus Heresy: Angelus book, hopefully we’ll hear more from Forge World sometime soon.

Do you mind waiting until December for the next book? Or is it something you were really looking forward to getting sooner?
