"Every IA book has something very similar to this in the front of the book." IA: Apoc 2nd Edition (Horrible name, by the way), isn't any different in that regard.

As I was saying I thought IA:vol1:2ed had different wording then most of the older AI books. I seemed to remember alot of buzz about it on the message boards and blogs when it came out.

**kronk**

There was a lot of buzz, mainly because they started using logos to show what was meant for a normal 40k game and what was meant for Apocalypse. However, a lot of those folks were missing the part at the start of the book that I quoted.

Either way, my group has been using the FW rules for some time, now. It was nice that they started labeling things for Apoc vs Standard play in our opinions.

19 miniature for the Primarchs alone, probably $59.99 EACH, is $1,140, then all the marines, we are looking at well over $2000

time to start saving I guess

I'm sorry. There is the apology you're fishing for. Can we move on?

I was letting you know why I took it as hostile, not fishing for a apology. You already said you didn't mean for it to be taken that way....

But if your going to apologize, then I might as well apologize for coming across that I was fishing for one.
O.o

**kronk**

@ Lockark: *hugs*

@DIDM: $1100? Sounds about right.

**Alpharius**

I'm glad Kronk and Lockark are buds again.

Now, more Brother on Brother Crime and less hugging - stat!

**kronk**

Where's the Games Day pictures? Last year there were tons, including videos of the Contemptor Dreadnought...

Or is that just for the UK Games Day? Remember this Epic Thread?

**Sasori**

It's too bad the Tzeentch book was scrapped. I figured it was just moved back for the Necron book.

I'm really lookin forward to the Necron book, that's going to be awesome, I hope.

I haven't seen a single 'review' or mention on this forum about somebody being at Games Day aside from on thread on the Golden Daemon. I guess FW had no new models on display.

**legoburner**

Ah finally, I've been sitting on this rumour for quite some time. This has been a work in progress for a significant period of time, so I expect a large quantity of releases, but they hint at that with 'book 1'!

**H.B.M.C.**

Sitting on a rumour lego? Have you got some sort of NDA you're not telling us about?

What?!?!?

Good thing I'm Alpha Legion, or I'd have to go all World Eater on this place!

This info came straight from FW, it's their plan as long as they do not have any issues. I'm going to be first in line for the Seminar now!!

Harry wrote:Reading the above posts it sounds like folks may be expecting more than one book.
I am pretty sure it is only the first book that will be available at GD

This was discussed on the 2012 rumours thread about 2 months ago.
SunTzu said this was coming at GD UK and he and I shared a joke as I knew he had nailed it.
No reason anyone would have seen this .... it was around page 40 of a 90 page thread! WTF

I went on to say:

"I can be more specific ....
There are three Heresy books coming .... the first one later this year. (at GD UK)
...and yes you are quite right there are some big and exciting things coming with them".

There had been no mention of Primachs back then but you can guess now what I was hinting at back then.
Again I am only expecting the first.

Sanguinius will likely be the first Forgeworld item I purchase.

He won't be the first one done. (I imagine. )

I have previously said there are 3 books planned.
The first IS Istavaan III.
There are three Primarchs in the first book.
Your names are good ... but theres are better.
The names are something like 'The Betrayal' and 'Retribution'.

**deleted20250424**

If there are 3 books covering stages of the HH and there are Primarch models involved with each, I believe it would be something like; 3-4 Traitor Primarchs, 5-6 Traitor and 3-4 Loyal, and finally 4-5 more Loyalist.

Wasn't that the pattern of betrayal revealed?

Sons of Horus, Emperor's Children, Death Guard, and the World Eaters on Istvaan III.

Then; Istvaan V for the Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Word Bearers, and the Night Lords vs. Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard.

Then; Everyone else not listed as it was on to Terra after that. So Thousand Sons, Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, White Scars, and Space Wolves

Although 3 of them were late to the party.

**dajobe**

i really want to be able to run magnus with my 1k sons. that would be the best

**mattyrm**

I haven't bought any models for a year, I'm cutting back..

But I will of course have to get Robute.

You, me and a whole lot of other people!

I'll take this as 'confirmation' that the Primarchs are going to be getting models AND rules - and I am VERY happy!

Makes sense on many levels:

1) This is about the HORUS HERESY - if there was ever a time to field Primarchs, this is it!
2) GW has been having their lunch money stolen for years via various Not-Primarchs - time for Daddy to Cash In!
3) It is about time!
