I'm doing the same with my Iron Hands - I like the Sabre & Arquitor but the lack of 40k rules has stopped me buying them.
I haven't worried too much, I've just kept as much as possible valid for both. I have, rightly or wrongly, a soft spot for the dinobots, so I've got a Heldrake and a Maulerfiend for example. It's largely a painting project that might see the table some day though, I've got more transport capacity in painted vehicles than I have infantry to fill it, and I don't think I've got a valid HQ choice any more for either system.
But I digress, what I intended to say was I don't think buying a model you love that only works in one or the other system is the worst thing.

For.
Most of the people in our HH group already had Marine armies in 40k. One uses his 40k Blood Angel vehicles for his HH army, another drafted his entire collection of Tartaros and Cataphractii to his HH Iron Hands. A lot of people also chose the Legions they already had as 40k Chapters and swapped things over if they needed a quick army booster.

If only there was a game out there for truly EPIC battles, something that would allow for the EPIC scale of the Heresy.
That would be EPIC.
Epic indeed ^^
Never going to happen again. Better look for 3rd company´s products for that regard.
Okay. And two years ago I believed we'd never see a near full conversion of HH to plastic, The Return of The Squats to happen either. But here we are.
Spoilers for the Kratos Tank, its datasheet leaked a while ago but I'll still just talk about it in spoiler tags for everyone else's sake.
Spoiler:
This thing has a STARTLING amount of gun. The main battlecannon alone has two shell-types by default, one S8 AP4 Heavy 1 Large Blast Pinning, the other S8 AP2 Heavy 2 Sunder. For +10 ppm you can add a third shot type that's S10 AP1 Heavy 1 Armorbane (Ranged) and Gets Hot. So right off the bat, the main gun can handle a lot of what you could face. You can also swap it out for a super-melta or a super-volkite. You can swap out the body heavy bolters for volkite calivers, lascannons, or more autocannons. You can swap out the free heavy bolter sponsons for free heavy flamers, lascannons, or volkite culverins. And it can take a pintle of essentially anything you want, heavy bolter, multimelta, havoc launcher, etc.
On top of that it's av is 14/14/14 with 5HP and the ability to take a flare shield. And you can take two to a squad for cheaper than two individually, which if you're like me and use a RoW that restricts your HS slots, is a good thing. Already thinking of doing a terror assault with three sabers, two of these, and maybe a fellblade variant as a kind of armored claw mechanized list. It does cost 300 points base but... man. That's worth it to me.

I'm planning going on starting at 2 Kratos and 2 sicarans for my initial prepreorder at the flgs. More may depend on price, variants, and whether they get 40k rules.
Thinking about it, while the fell blade is pretty popular, it is very similar as a kit to the baneblade. GW may as well take the HH as an opportunity to finally make the plastic thunderhawk, as the HH box can proof of concept the £240 price point.
We're probably more likely to see the already existing plastic thunderhawk for AI get re-used for plastic epic when that inevitably happens than actually get a plastic thunderhawk for 30/40k.
What, is using spoiler tags now politicized on dakka? More photos ought to be spoiler tagged really, for the sake of users on mobile devices. Or is it just more fun to insult other users?
If true, given how largely reliable the leaks have been until now, does it represent GW reading the room with regards to rampant inflation on nigh on everything in the UK and elsewhere and maybe dropping the price compared to original plans to ensure that the new HH starts with a bang?

The price rumours for the heresy stuff were never part of any more reliable leaks/rumours.

Ah, were they just people pulling numbers out of the air/making reasonable predictions? Nice to be shocked by a price for once in the right way.
