You really think it will be on sale? I'm guessing Angelus has been renamed or delayed.
The alternative is that they have no new HH rule book on sale, I just can't see that happening. Angelus is so late (understandable obviously) it has to be ready by now. I can't see them scrapping it as that story needs to be told to progress the BA, outside chance it'll be renamed but I'm doubtful, it would mean they added one or more other Legion and that Legion's story to the book.
I believe the last word regarding Angelus was late 2018. So I highly doubt it's been completed 6-8 months AHEAD of schedule.
"Angelus" as a book title doesn't seem to fit the rest of the series, so I'm guessing that "Malevolence" is simply its new title. But as someone said, it's possible the book has been split. Full army lists for BA and DA, plus Dark Mech units/rules, and a port (more or less) of the old Codex: Daemons with FW daemons added...seems like a LOT of rules content.

Where did that date come from? If I remember correctly the last weekender they said either end of 2017 or early 2018...
Before Alan's passing Angelus was nearly completed, so that would mean FW wanted another 20 odd months to finish it off rather than 12 months or so that delivering it for this weekend. That seems way off considering how many people they have recruited to the team and based on what they said at the last weekender.
At the last weekender they confirmed that content already:
The Blood Angels Legion
The Dark Angels Legion
Daemons
The Dark Mechanicum
The Night Lords Legion

Honestly, I'm not even confident that they'll hit that date. I'm not sure where you got the 'Angelus was nearly done' thing from, because I haven't heard that anywhere. But of course model development time could be a factor here, and we know that resources are tight at FW with everything going on there.
I feel like you haven't reached full acceptance of the realities at FW...
The releases could be slow because they are holding things back at this point to have a big unveiling and drum up some hype.
If people know Dorn/Valdor/etc are coming, they will save up a bit and maybe even buy extra.

Plus it was the end of the year/start of the new year. Not much going on then.
Expect a long list of awesome new stuff to show up this weekend. Hopefully that 'long list' includes Necromunda releases beyond some sketches/photos of the next gang and some bulletpoints about GW3.
It is odd we've not had any pre-release teases yet.
Wish I was going, but I just can't justify the ticket price. And of course, people snapping up multiples to try to sell on eBay for stupider money. Parasites.
As for slowed releases? It makes me wonder if these weeks were originally pencilled in for Adeptus Titanicus prior to it's delays. Pure speculation like, and probably wrong. But it does feel like something is missing.

After 30 years, the castellan of the Imperium is finally getting a model to match his legendary reputation. Say hello to Rogal Dorn:
Rogal Dorn is the next magnificent entry in the Horus Heresy Character Series and the latest Primarch to join his brothers in miniature form. Dorn is depicted imperiously surveying the battle around him, a bulwark against the tide of terrors that face the Imperium in the 31st Millennium.
Rogal Dorn has long been an iconic character, and his miniature draws on art and influences from across Warhammer 40,000’s history. We caught up with the designers to see how they brought this iconic figure to life:
Whether you’re a dedicated Horus Heresy player or you’re just an Imperial Fists fan who’s been itching to get your hands on a Primarch of your own, Rogal Dorn’s arrival is a momentous occasion. You’ll be able to order this guy for your army soon, and if you’re attending the Horus Heresy and Necromunda Weekender, you’ll have the chance to pick him up early.

Wow, I'm a huge fan of the Imperial Fists and Dorn (I play an IF successor in 40k), but I have to say this model has left me speechless with disappointment.
Its as though they arbitrarily decided to throw out interesting elements of his armor from previous illustrations (the massive eagle pauldrons, gasping faces on his kneepads, etc), then downplay some of his most iconic elements into mediocrity (the eagle on his backpack is so small, his the Voice of Terra looks practically mundane, Storm's Teeth looks about the size of a normal eviscerator), and worst of all gave him such a horrible pose.
Maybe I'm an outlier, and I know for certain I'm biased, but I cant help but feel that design wise this is one of the worst primarch models Forgeworld has made so far.
I mean comparing it to previous art works is so hopelessly disappointing.
