A lot of the guys that stopped 40K at my club have shown interest if plastic 30K comes out, so hope it does pan out!

Though from rumours this supposed to be a board game, with the plastics being a available seperately 6 months or so down the line if i remember the rumours correct.

Interested to see what is in the board game and how it plays....

That’s crochet...
/sarcastic pedant
...And awesome.

Go to a yarn shop sometime and price out a few skeins. Figure out how many you’d need for a project. Then come back to out nice and inexpensive plastic minis.

**Theophony**

Both my daughters knit, who-mart yarn works just fine

. I just wish they'd get more excited by it and learn to make these.

Back on topic before Alpharius strikes from the shadows

Really hoping these are full models instead of the stupid half models/busts that they made for their other board games.

Do you mean the half models/ busts that FFG made for their board games?

If I recall correctly Space Hulk and Dreadfleet had full models.

**manrogue**

I'd expect them to be full models as they are rumoured to be released later separately from the board game, which I think came from hastings or harry.

This is part of the licensing contract they have with FFG.

Also, those busts are fantastic.

Horus Heresy: Hidden in Plain Sight?

Posted by Larry Vela at April 16, 2015

Horus-Heresy

People are talking of Plastic Heresy maybe releasing in May, but some sharp eyed readers have noticed some tantalizing clues out there form GW.

Several eagle eyed Spikey Bits’ readers messaged me yesterday to checkout the wording on past few ‘experimental’ sets of rules for Horus Heresy models over on Forge World.

Check this out;

Via Book IV Conquest

The game’s officially called ‘Battles in the Age of Darkness’ right? With Space Marines army list called the ‘Legiones Astartes Crusade Army List’
hidden

Now checkout the wording on the upcoming Xiphon fighter’s rules (via Forge World download section).

Could “the Age of Darkness EXPANSION” be what’s releasing soon? Have we been overlooking this little tidbit recently on all the latest releases’ rules?

It sure seems like it, as here’s a set of Horus Heresy Forgeworld rules from last year, (for the show only Navigator) that looks to be referencing the ‘Age of Darkness‘ we all know and love as 30k now.

Seems to be directly ripped off spikey bits blog, below says the same thing, only putting for completeness sake lol.

**BrookM**

Isn't the "Age of Darkness" the seven year gap?

**pretre**

Isn't the AoD allies matrix just the one in HH I: Betrayal?

Yup

**pretre**

So Vela/Spikey Bits are just making crap up?

**BrookM**

IIRC the only thing added over the books is the Imperial Army, but other than that, it's the same.

Yes. The Age of Darkness expansion is basically the Horus Heresy rules and army lists. Take a look at the crusade army book first few pages - it's mentioned all over the place, check the contents list at the top for example:

It's also in all other books for heavens sake. Here's book 2 (mid way down the contents):

As an aside, are the any rumours left of this at all or is just speculation now?

**BrookM**

It's a load of liquid gak spraying everywhere with them fellows.

Probably

Only reason i pasted them across is cause I like to see their falses rise in the rumour tracker.

Yes, but the clicks, pretre, think of the CLICKS!!

If they were a video game website they would have been claiming confirmation of Half-life every year going on 10 years now.

**pretre**

Unfortunately, something like this is just speculation so doesn't add or subtract from their rating.

Even using the term speculation is stretching the meaning a bit. I'd personally use the term dishonest. Even the briefest of trawls or quick look into the Horus Heresy contents on the Forgeworld's website or a quick round of questions to some bod with the books would have told them what the Age of Darkness expansion is.

**edlowe**

I'd actually suggest this thread be closed at the moment since its becoming obvious that many of these rumours are grasping at straws.

has there been any one verified rumour towards anything being released or is this heading down the same route as the inq28 game rumour from last year?

not to be a killjoy but it just doesn't seem theres any evidence that this is happening

It is real. But as I've said before, its 6+ months out.

Also, it is a "Horus Heresy game" only in the sense that Space Hulk is a "40K game".

If you want to play Horus Heresy with army lists and terrain and tape measures and the like, you'll still need the current Forge World rules.

You may actually get a rough idea of this new format next week (after Eldar).

Thanks for adding a much-needed dose of info to this topic, Sad Panda

As I originally said.....

The box sets are stand alone games, the models will then form part of the main ranges. That's exactly what I said months ago. The replacement for lotr will be 30k not the h/h standalone game.

There were no grey areas, no hidden gems of info just the facts. its really not that difficult to understand.

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?408044-New-assassin-models!!!&p=7428360&viewfull=1#post7428360

Pretty clear now, there will be a HH Standalone game with miniatures available afterwards AND a 30k Tabletop/Other game replacing Lotr/Hobbit. With the info from SadPanda and Lords of War Gaming about release dates it looks like the first will be Q3 or Q4 2015 and the latter in 2016.

**lliu**

Come on! So far away!

crochet space marines for the win

Ad mech, 30k, an awesome PC game on the way. It's almost like GW knows what its customer actually wants!
