Just another one of those discussions about the next boxed set, LOL  !
So to get the ball rolling, we know GW has set the precedent of 3 tactical squads, 2 characters (named and unnamed, chapter affiliated and not chapter affiliated), a terminator squad, and something else based on the battle. In BaC's case, it was dreadnought, and in BoP's case, the SoS and custodians. I have seen rumors about the Battle of Phall. But here I'll name some battles and leave GW to fill in the blanks like named heroes and stuff like that. Feel free to debate what should be in the contents of the box. Lets get right in!
1. Battle of Diamat between the Dark Angels and the Sons of Horus
2. Battle of Signus Prime between Daemons and Blood Angels. Not sure how this would work maybe 20 marines and 10 blood letters?
3. Battle for the Perfect Fortress between Raven Guard and Emperor's Children
4. Invasion of Paramar V between Alpha Legion and Loyal Iron Warrior. This might entice more people to play loyalists of a traitor faction maybe?
5. Battle of Ravendelve between Alpha Legion and Raven Guard
6. Carendiru Uprising between Raven Guard and Sons of Horus.
7. Battle of the Hydra Cordatus. Aka, second battle between Iron Warriors and Imperial fists.
8. Thramas Crusade between Dark Angels and Night Lords
Now these are just suggestions, found them here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Battles_of_the_Horus_Heresy_(List). I stayed away from anything with Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Word Bearers, or Thousand Sons as they have already been done. Personally, I want a Raven Guard boxset OR something where The Alpha Legion has to find away to steal the special something that is kept on Deliverance (or Kiahvahr for that matter), like in the book Deliverance Lost. So, what would you like to see? How would it be represented? I remain adamant in the fact that GW will stay away putting resin FW in the sets but you never know. I'm also inclined to believe that they will only do armies in the Age of Darkness books and that have special RoW's and that jazz. I am interested in what you come up with!

As far as which legion's are featured, I really don't mind for the moment as my Thousand Sons are due to get what they want soon enough. As for box contents, I just want to see some Mk.2 armour. Although I think plastic assault squads in any armour pattern would really open things up.
It would be cool to see a plastic Saul Tarvitz assuming the boxes havn't been in any chronological order, so maybe loyalist Emperor's Children versus World Eaters at the Precentor's Palace at Isstvan

If GW did do Phall, it will likely be accompanied by a resin Dorn. I remember when BoP came out, they released Russ at the same time.

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."
– Eighth Captain, Khârn |

Going off the Drop site massacre, GW could do battle boxes that include 3x Tactical Squads (mk2,3,or 4), a Primarch (long shot though) or a special named character, and a a legion specific squad. Also there could be a set of boards that show specific events like Raven Guard escaping from the World Eaters or Iron Hands holding out from the Emperors Children. The battle boxes would be similar to the ones they just released with armies like tau and Deathwatch. Price wise, if there was a named hero 3x Tactical Squads, Transfer sheet, and a legion specific squad, it could be priced at $200 if they did resin. However, if GW released plastic versions, the box's would be released in waved like 2 legions at a time. Is this logical?

While i'd love something DA centric, I don't see it happening. I think a Mk 6 style armor will be next. So that almost assures Ravenguard.

I really hope they avoid any more boxed sets that are so chapter centric as Prospero again, more like BaC, with generics that build armies and vehicles. Less of the Ahriman and so on that have very limited conversion application.
Plastics for Mech and Solar would be great as well. Lots of trading opportunities among ourselves for those. A GREAT way to get tech thralls, for example, which at the moment, are a hideous expense for a unit that are only fractionally more pricey than grots.

Whatever it is I just hope its mk II armor, also plastic custodes terminators wouldn't hurt...but i'm not sure how they would work those into another set.

Looking at the recent boxes (I stacked both of them on top of each other, I probably haven't seen anything awesomer in my entire life) I noticed that both the boxes are red marines vs blue marines. So the next one willl probably be blood angels vs night lords or Alpha legion.

Blues and Reds seem to be GW preference. I would love to see a Mk2 set, but I don't think that's going to happen. However, they (GW) could get away with mk6 and do alpha legion and Raven Guard. The story could be that Alpharius has to infiltrate the Raven Guard and taint the gene seed.

I don't care about the "fluff" of the box, and I really would prefer the new boxes to not be legion-specific, so they would be more useable in general.
But if they want to make legion-specific stuff, then Atramentar Terminators for Night Lords. No debate.
It would be sweet if they started making boxes that follow certain Rites of War, so you could wield certain RoW with the contents of the box. I bet these would be popular with players also. Would you like these?

This could also open up several opportunities for a start collecting 30k. Legion specific HQ ( no character series minis), one troops, and one legion specific elite. This could get more people's feet wet in the hobby. Alsp, they could include some special rules for taking that formation but not necessarily a RoW

I can't see any legion specific. They are meant to be bought by a lot of players.Battle of the Phall should be perfect, IMHO: breachers and maybe MKII power armour.

IMO, these boxes are made purely to put out new marks of armor that will get new players into 30k and current players to spend more money on new tacticals. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, since that's exactly what I did.  So the next box will either be Mk II, Mk V, or Mk VI. If it is Mk VI, the two main legions that used that armor during the HH were Raven Guard and Alpha Legion. So I would assume the box set would be some shadow war conflict that they fought each other in. Mk V could be literally any legion during the middle of the HH and any battle past Istvaan V. Lots of options. Maybe siege of Terra? Though probably not yet, as GW will want to save that box until the end of these boxed sets. Mk II I'm not sure of. What legions used a lot of that armor? I think I remember reading that DA had a lot of Mk II. Maybe the WE too? Not sure So based on this, I think Mk VI is the most likely candidate for the next box, with Alphas facing off against RG. Maybe they'll put in some new plastic bikes too, as that would fit the type of warfare used by both legions. Or despoilers!
