What the heck is going on here! Looks like there are more new terrain releases of some kind are coming for Warhammer 40k in the near future! Check out the latest!
We’ve done a little more port scrying and something interesting hit the port. After seeing what’s made it to the states, it’s got us asking some questions on what this could all be a part of. take a look with us.
More New 40k Terrain Releases SPOTTED!
If you look at the list here, we’ve got a bunch of different commodity components from the Killzone sets that released a while back. We’ve got a total of 42 pallets and in the past, we’ve seen “components” as ONLY the sprue. So what could GW be doing with 42 pallets worth of Killzone terrain sprues?
Wait, is that 42 pallets for each type- kinda looks that way doesn’t it?
Before we go into the possibilities, let’s point out the terrain that’s made the list here.
Commodity Components: 40k Killzone Terrain Sprues
Keep in mind too, these Killzone sets are no longer listed for sale on Games Workshop’s site currently.
Mechanicus Refinery
Sector Fronteris
Sector Munitorum
So between cranes, storage crates, some walls, and a refinery, there’s a good bit of terrain that’s been spotted as a single shipment rolling in. With all of this comprising of 42 whole pallets, we have to wonder where all of this will turn up.
Where & When Could We See This Terrain?
Historically speaking, we’ve seen GW prepare their holiday boxes like Battleforces WAY out in advance. That’s to make sure everything is in place for one of the biggest sales surges in the year. With disruptions of shipments due to tariffs on top of COVID-19, this could be GW preparing for their holiday bundles already.
It could just be a re-release of the Kill Zone sets themselves.
We could see GW prep some kind of terrain bundle for the argument of “If you missed out on the terrain in all those Killzone releases, now you can get it all in one purchase” too. Which, honestly isn’t a bad idea.
With smaller terrain pieces perfect for basing materials on models like Knights and Riptides, it could still be appealing to everyone. i.e not just people who have their own gaming tables.
Or perhaps it could be another round of bundles for the summer like we saw last year with Apocalypse?
What do you think GW will do with 42 pallets of terrain sprues? Would you like to see a terrain bundle drop?
