Exciting Warhammer 40k and Horus Heresy rumors are here with more new Aeldari, a Rogal Dorn Primarch model, and Citadel’s Pro Paint Range!
From whispers of Rogal Dorn flexing his muscles in a new model for The Horus Heresy to the Aeldari gearing up for a fresh wave of releases in Warhammer 40k, it seems the future of the tabletop world is full of action. Oh, and for all the painters out there? New paints are supposedly on the horizon, with a twist that might just make your brushes sing. Let’s break it down because there’s a lot to look forward to in the Warhammer universe if this all pans out.
RUMORS: New Warhammer 40k Aeldari, Horus Heresy Primarch Dorn, & Citadel Pro Paint Range w/ Droppper Bottles on the Way for 2025!
Warhammer fans are buzzing with exciting rumors and updates for Warhammer 40,000, The Horus Heresy, and new paint ranges. These whispers hint at significant releases that could reshape the way hobbyists approach both their models and the lore. These rumors come from Chapter Master Valrak, with our close look at the patterns of Games Workshop.
Horus Heresy: New Primarch Rogal Dorn and 2025 Speculations
The Horus Heresy continues to capture the imagination of those who love the epic story of the galactic civil war. A key point of speculation is the arrival of a new model for Rogal Dorn, the Primarch of the Imperial Fists. This upcoming model is rumored to showcase him in a more dynamic pose, wielding a shield and another weapon. His current stoic model has been a favorite among collectors (maybe), but the potential for a more combat-focused look has many eagerly awaiting further details.
Equally intriguing is the chatter about a new edition of The Horus Heresy, potentially launching in Spring 2025. While some challenges in production or distribution may cause delays, the idea of a fresh edition brings renewed interest in the series. This could mark an opportunity for both new players and veterans of the tabletop to engage with the next evolution of the game. There have also been rumors of a new Leman Russ primarch model joining Warhammer 40k as well with a Space Wolves reboot (think Dark Angels / Blood Angels), so in theory, hobbyists could see two new primarch miniatures in 2025.
Warhammer 40k: Aeldari and Space Marines Rumors
The Warhammer 40,000 universe is full of surprises, and there are plenty of rumors to discuss in the realm of Xenos and Space Marines. Aeldari players, in particular, have been following news about potential releases. It seems that Swooping Hawks will not make their way into Kill Team as previously speculated but will instead be part of a second wave of Aeldari updates. This wave may include notable characters such as Baharroth, Fuegan, and an updated squad of Fire Dragons. We already know they are second up for a codex in 2025, so now it’s all about the new models!
Furthermore, Warp Spiders and their associated Phoenix Lord are also rumored to receive updates, which could mean a significant upgrade to these already iconic units. But perhaps the most eye-catching development for the Aeldari faction is the possible big release of Corsairs. Known for their pirate-like aesthetic and unique role in Aeldari society, Corsairs have always been a fascinating addition to the lore and the tabletop, and their new models could breathe new life into their niche.
Meanwhile, Space Marine rumors are making waves, with reports suggesting that the Emperor’s Children will take center stage in 2025 (we’ve looked at those rumors in-depth here). Alongside this, there’s more talk of Space Wolves receiving updates (and a Leman Russ Primarch Model), potentially coinciding with the later part of the 10th edition of Warhammer 40k.
Death Korps of Krieg fans might also be in for a treat. Rumors point to (here are the more in-depth rumors) a substantial expansion of their range, which is on par with the scope of the Cadian release. While there’s no confirmation on new tanks, the possibility of a larger collection of Krieg miniatures is exciting for those who enjoy their unique aesthetic and gritty lore.
New Citadel Pro Paint Range with Dropper Bottles: Catering to Pro Painters
On the hobby side of things, Games Workshop appears to be venturing into new territory with rumors of a brand-new paint range aimed at professional painters. The term “Warhammer Pros” has been circulating, hinting at a collection specifically designed for painters who seek to take their skills to the next level. Moreover, Games Workshop may finally invest in dropper bottles, a feature that hobbyists have long requested. This upgrade could make paint handling and storage more efficient for many in the community. We know GW loves to do a three-year cycle for 40k, AoS, and paints. So, this actually perfectly follows that schedule, with AoS rebooting in 2024 and 40k getting 10th in 2023, which only leaves the paint range for 2025.
Final Thoughts on the New Paint Range & 40k Rumors
As we look ahead to the potential releases and rumors swirling around, it’s clear that the Warhammer universe is far from slowing down. Whether you’re gearing up for a Rogal Dorn upgrade or eagerly awaiting those Aeldari, there’s something brewing for everyone. And let’s not forget the exciting prospect of new paints! With all these rumors swirling, the only question left is: what will hit the table first? One thing’s for sure—your backlog of unpainted models might not stay small for long!
