Did anyone get a run down on timescales and contents for the next 2-3 heresy books? Specifically waiting on them filling in some more loyalist chapters (blood angels and space wolves please). Also at games day last year they mooted the idea of doing armour kits and shoulder pads in advance of the books so folks could start legions currently not in a HH book, was anything said about this at warhammerfest? Thanks

They only talked about HH4 and HH5.

HH4 they said that a limited edition slipcase version would be out in time for Christmas. It wasn't clear if this is the same sort of three and a bit slipcase as that came with HH3 limited edition or a single book one that came with IA13. The slides for what is in HH4 are earlier in this thread if you want to look for them. They said HH4 was the largest book yet.

HH5 is due early next year and will focus on Calth, so UM, WB, WE most likely, only and Dark Mech and UM explicitly confirmed by FW. I would expect the remnants including Garro to make an appearance in this book but that is me putting 2 + 2 together not 100% confirmed on a slide.

My guess for HH6 would be focused on the battles involving DA, but I could see a second book for Calth as well. They did say that Prospero and thus Wolves are a long way off, FW said that they would be a lot of work to do justice to, and have said that multiple times now.

Let's hope they don't milk it too much like Black Library.

I would love the Dark Angels to be in HH6, but what else would it have in it? The Angels were only in the Thramas Crusade, and the Night Lords have been pretty well covered, unless FW want to do a more chaotic version of the legion. My opinion is that the book with the DA will also have Signus Prime and the Blood Angels, as a sort of 'Angels of Death' HH book

I've ordered the new IA book and I am like an excited child waiting for Christmas presents

Y'know a lot can happen in the space of 10yrs right? The Thramas Crusade may just be the NOTEABLE campaign they were part of?

I'd expect some Night Lords, both good and evil versions of the DA, more Solar Aux., more Dark Mech, possibly White Scars but I'd put that as an outside bet.

Yeah, I can just imagine the Death Korps on the comms to artillery support in the back: "Tyranid organisms about to overrun position. Fire on my coordinates in 3... 2... 1...!"

For book 6, I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread that it was likely to be the Thramas Crusade and Sigmus Prime, So Blood Angels, Dark Angels, some more Night Lords and possibly some 30k Daemons, as well as probably more Imperial Army.

Actually, on the White Scars...



I can only hope anyway. Really want some void bikes!

I hope not, that'd mean White Scars would be years out!

Not sure if they'll turn up in the wild goose chase that Horus sent them on, I know FW have talked about keeping 30k focused on Man vs. Man as 40k is Man vs. Alien but I don't think White Scars did much outside the late stages without that long wait Horus sent them on.

Thinking about it, I think Haighus might be on to something with the Demons. FW did mention that Demons are coming at some point, so they could feature in that book.

Going back to the rumours of a bigger dreadnought, it would be great to see an updated Space Crusade model. I stumbled across an amazing rendering of one a few years back and it was beautiful.

They could also open up to 30k Daemons a little more, and introduce the White Scars seeing as they, too, weren't involved in much fighting against former brothers.

Time will tell. I just want to get my Lion primarch model when that eventually comes out. I will be so happy, you guys.

From a purely selfish point of view I'd like to see some Blood Angels-specific Heresy stuff. They have been present since the first novel but no models yet...

I agree with you, Blood Angels would be good. But Personally I'm waiting for Thousand Sons and White Scars (namely a White Scars named dreadnought)

Agreed with Luther. I've been doing a ba heresy force for years now but I just can't comitt fully yet as I'm waiting for the pads and torsos.

Info from the FW seminar in 2013 said this:

Book 4 Prospero
Before Christmas 2014 (Q3-4) most likely aiming for UK Gamesday but will be a tight schedule to keep up with.
Thousand Sons
Space Wolves

Speaking with Siman Egan the sculpted/designer of Angron, Fulgrim and Ferrus, he wants to do Leman Russ and Magnus in a duel like Fulgrim and Ferrus with Leman Russ's Wolves. This is only what he is planning not what is actually going ahead at this time.
Sisters of Silence
Emperors Custodes

Book 5 Signus Prime + another story involving the Dark Angles.
6 months after the release of Prospero (Q2-3) 2015
Daemons
Blood Angles
Dark Angles
Dark Mechanicum

Book 6 Calth, released 6 months after Signus Prime (Q1-2 2016)
Ultramarines
Imperial Army
Explanation on (expansion of?)the World Bearers
more Titan legions

Of course, note that things have changed, including the order of the books. Still, it might give a rough idea about the content of each book. And Daemons kinda have to be in the Signus book, considering they were the BAs' adversary in that engagement.

he wants to do Leman Russ and Magnus in a duel like Fulgrim and Ferrus with Leman Russ's Wolves

Been a good while since I read PB but they never actually fought toe to toe did they
Certainly not ala Ferrus/Fulgrim in a hand to hand duel to the death?

Personally I hope they keep Magnus as a stand alone model.

My bad then, its been a while.

I am so looking forward to the Sisters of Silence. It will wonderful for Forge World to finally start putting out cool ladies. It may even cure the only thing stopping me from playing Sisters (the models) in two ways. Not only will they most likely be nice models, but they'll also be in Forge World's "almost truescale" and not GW main's "child in a space suit" scale!

It's just unfortunate that FW don't make proper Sisters of Battle and probably never will.

Indeed, if i remember correctly Russ broke Magnus' Back

Someone was saying the same thing about Dark Angels at Warhammer Fest on Sunday. Compared to a lot of things being released, I imagine the torsos and shoulder pads must be pretty quick and easy to sculpt; I don't know why they don't just do those bits for all Legions so folks can make a start on the core of their armies, then flesh them out later with other releases. Couldn't hurt sales.

You might be thinking of the incident with the Baneblade and Curze.

Could one of the new SM fliers be the Stormbird? Or is that wishful thinking? Can't see anything that big (or expensive for that matter) selling too many. Would be extremely cool mind!
