The latest 8th edition rumor has been spotted, and it suggests that we will be seeing some new boxes coming out for the Primaris Space Marines.
75hastings69 is a veteran in the Warhammer community, and is usually pretty spot on. He recently posted on DISQUS that the Space Marines will be getting some new release post 8th edition launch.
Let’s take a look at what he had to say, and hey don’t forget your salt shakers this is a rumor after all.
AFAIK “Initially” there are 4 boxes of “troops/infantry/marines” (including the flying ones), 2 vehicles, the Dread, and 2 “character” sets, which I assume will be captains and Lieutenants. As for when I rarely dare to dabble in such things (especially after the timing of the plastic thunderhawk release.… which might still actually not be wrong, just my guess at the timing thanks to the “we’ve sold our last resin thunderhawk” making me jump to conclusions!). I will say I am “expecting” Death Guard to release after the boxed set and for new marines to be closely behind them….. however I could be wrong of course 😉
BTW I also never thought I’d be starting let alone be excited about an army of SM, however as the new marines range is small and not overwhelming and I like the armour and overall style I am going to start a SM army, just not sure what chapter yet.
The latest rumor is suggesting that there will be four boxes of units for the Space Marines: two vehicles, the Dreadnought, and two “character” sets.
He states that he is expecting the Death Guard boxes to release after the box set with the Space Marines shortly behind. This is pretty common for GW to release individual boxes a couple months after the release of a new expansion, i.e. Burning of Prospero.
This can’t be too far off, Games Workshop did just reveal the new Repulsor vehicle last week.
But this is a rumor so don’t forget to add salt. With that disclosure out of the way, 75hastings69 is a very reputable rumor monger, and we’ve seen a lot of his rumors become factual in the past. He does admit he might have jumped the gun too fast on the T-Hawk and there still might be another one released later this year.
Will we see these separately in the future?
What are your thoughts on the new rumored Space Marine Boxes? Could we be seeing those new unit coming out separately after the release? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
