We may already know what is on the way for Black Friday, but we still have these rumors on GW’s holiday releases and pricing.
There is a massive chart of rumored GW releases that was spotted recently, and now, we’ve got a first look at the prices of the items ahead. But remember everything after Black Friday is still just RUMORS.
- Battle Sisters Army Box: November 30
- Psychic Awakening 2: Faith and Fury (with Black Templars and other imperial and chaotic factions involved): November 30
- New Chaos Sorcerer: November 30
- Chapter Approved 2019: December 7
- Psychic Awakening 3: Blood of Baal (according to previous rumors, Blood Angels against Tyranids): December 7
- New Mephiston: December 7
- Varied holiday Battleforces: December 7
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.
Nov 23 Product Pricing Rumors: Imperial Characters & More
Check out the pricing for the releases rumored to be hitting store shelves on November 23rd
For that week in November, it looks like some Imperial characters like Inquisitors and Assassins might be on the way (This might be the old MTO stuff of classic models). However, moving deeper into the Beastgrave expansion of WHU, Rippa’s Snarlfangs look to be making their debut. At $30, there’s nothing out of the ordinary expected for a Warband.
Nov 29 Product Release Pricing
Check out the pricing for the releases hitting store shelves on Black Friday, November 29th
One of the most anticipated releases of 2019 looks to be the Sisters of Battle Army Set. While we’ve already gotten an official word at what’s inside the box, it looks to be weighing in at $210 according to these rumors. Surprisingly, if these rumors are true it looks like this is the only Sisters release we’re seeing for the near future!
People that buy this might be sitting with under a thousand points of new Sisters for a while with no other releases in sight.
Another product of note is the first-ever generic Primaris Space Marine Start Collecting Box along with what looks to be a new Chaos Marines Start Collecting Box as well.
New Chaos Marine Sorceror $30
Standard model update here, but a cool thing to note is just how much this guy mirrors his librarian counterpart now!
Start Collecting! Space Marines $95
Start Collecting! Chaos Space Marines $95
These two Start Collecting sets are just Shadowspear’s Box Set cut in half. This is the second time around we’ll be able to get our hands on these models.
Psychic Awakening: Faith & Fury $40
It then presents a host of new rules for the Space Marines – including a codex expansion’s worth of rules for the storied Black Templars Chapter – and loads of awesome new content for the story’s antagonists, the Heretic Astartes.
Based on this and the previous book we can assume that the Black Templars will get a pretty sizable update with all the chaos legions getting smaller-focus updates. Not to mention massive plot advancement which was direly needed.
While supplies last if you pre-order a physical copy of Faith & Fury you’ll get some sweet data cards for Helbrecht, Chaplain Grimaldus, Cenobyte Servitors, a Crusader Squad and a Chaos Sorcerer!
It appears that the rumors of Templars getting their rules in Faith & Fury had merit after seeing these data card previews and confirmed pricing from retailers after all.
Black Library
Mark of Faith (HB) $27
Webstore Exclusive:
Psychic Awakening: Faith & Fury Collectors Edition $80
Mark of Faith (Special Edition) $65
Rumors of Battleforces December Product Pricing
Check out the pricing for the releases rumored to be hitting store shelves on December 7th:
Some heavy hitters in this list are the Battleforces, possibly a new Mephiston (following the usual Primaris Named Character pricing of $40), and Chapter Approved/ Psychic Awakening: Blood of Baal.
Remember Chapter Approved 2018 came out the same week as Vigilus book one last December as well!
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.
December Bringing More Warcry & AoS:
Check out the pricing for the releases rumored to be hitting store shelves on December 14th
The biggest of these releases is the overhaul of the Slaves to Darkness in AoS, and more Warcry content for already-released factions. As for the Slaves to Darkness, all of the pricing from the Start Collecting at $95, Warscroll Cards at $25, and a Battletome at $40 all look to be accurate.
The thing that has us scratching our heads is the fact that old Warcry Warbands are getting some kind of (potential) release that’ll cost more than the base Warband itself.
With each Warband costing $50 base, these releases above look to be $65 a pop. Could these be alternate sculpts of existing units? Or will these be boxes that could come with a variety of options to mix up with your other units? Do you think they will be for use with AoS Slaves of Darkness more than Warcry?
That is a spicy new release meatball! If these are all true, what would be at the top of your buy list this holiday season?
