Okay, Space Hulk with Blood Angels termies came out and soon there after New Blood Angels followed! GW knows how to build up the love of a new or redesigned product. Now the Horus Heresy board game is here...Do you think this is another forshadowing that a pre-heresy or heresy era army, or sprue/s, might follow?

I hope they do but it would most likely be a limited time only. An entire army of heresy era marines and characters wouldnt realy fit in actual play.

The difference between Space Hulk and Horus Heresy is that Space Hulk was actually made by GW. Horus Heresy was made by Fantasy Flight Games, licensed by GW. While I think a pre-heresy conversion kit would be pretty badass, I don't think it's a hint for anything. GW flat out said they wouldn't make models for the Heresy, although I can only see it as a good money mill to sell more Marines.

Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope...or at least an upgrade box

I could only hope. A heresy or pre-heresy marine and imperial army army would be something I would have to really thinking about doing.

I could see Pre-Heresy shoulder pads sold in packs of 10, like the SM Chapters, but I think a full-upgrade pack would probably be made by Forge World.

i don't see this happening, it is too far in the past fluff for them to really put so much effort into it.
