Wasn't there a rumor of a new starter set for Horus Heresy?

Not so much a rumour, but it's been asked for every month since the Prospero/Calth sets went OOP.
Also AI is pretty popular, at least in the UK. You see and hear a lot of it in the various instagram and twitter feeds. But like everything else, it's not got the same noise level as 40k.
Doesn't mean it's failed.

Horus Heresy alrady got 2 marks of plastic marines, 2 marks of plastic terminators, there is noting more to make for that range, exept possibly some weird-side mechanicum stuff.

Thats horus heresy for you.

Yeah, ok, they might make some round turrets for the predator i suppose.

By the same token, <insert 40k faction here> doesn't need anything because it already has 2 sets of plastic infantry, 2 sets of plastic elite infantry and so there's nothing else to make for <insert 40k range here>.
Even better if we say that about Eldar. I'm sure that would go down well.

What they could make in plastic that would be well received:

plastic assault marines. Maybe in MK2 armour.
plastic breachers
plastic deimos rhino/predator
plastic land raider

This would make building core units to HH much more affordable.

And of course new start set would make starting whole game much cheaper.

don't forget a Whirlwind with a launcher that looks like it's made out of 40mm square base, a rhino front panel and some plasti-card.

Maybe they took so long to make new Horus Heresy plastics because they want to switch to Marine models with good proportions, now that they have Primaris and Chaos Marines in 40k that are better received in that regard. That kind of change takes time.

That would be great. I'd love some true scale Mark III, IV, and V marines. True scale Cataphractii and Tartaros would be cool too.

They can't make HH marines primaris sized though without redoing whole custodians in new size. Custodian and primaris models are pretty much spot on and custodians are supposed to be head taller than marines. So if they make HH marines any taller it makes them too tall.

Sure they can. They made Chaos Marines taller without resizing Custodes, after all.

That's good to hear. Where I am all the local shops seem to have trouble selling it, and a few of them are selling the products on their clearance racks. Again, I think it's a pretty good game and wish it would gain a bit more support locally.

That can be at least argued with chaos warp effect. But any pretense of true scale marines could then be forgotten. Which would be funny because literally post or two above is "true scale would be cool". Well if you make them too tall then obviously it's not true scale.

Sorry, would the term "more anatomically correct" make you happy?

It's not a case of them being too short but the fact they don't have hips. Jes Goodwin said this himself on one of the podcasts. To redo the various mks like that you'd have to redesign the armour. TBH I'd be happy with plastic mk II since both WS and DA kinda need it.

Obviously the Horus Heresy news is that they're launching a range of plastic Imperial Army, done up as pseudo-Cadians.

The HH range is done when we have a reliable source of MkII armour available, and not a moment sooner!

My semi-local manager told me to keep an eye out in the coming months, he said "Eldar fans will be very happy." Whatever that means.

Last time someone told me to be excited for my Eldar we got Blood of the Phoenix. I think I'll shift the hype gear down on any of this.

Blood of Phoneix gave Eldar plastic aspect warriors and new plastic hero. Both replacements for existing metal and both were great sets of models. Sure the duel army boxed set wasn't great for existing fans because you'd got all the falcons and vipers you need

My fear is that all future Eldar releases are going to always start with a box set that flushes out old Vyper kits.

What a nightmare world that would be.

AI is however as likely as AT here, though both not under the HH banner.
40k is listed there, it would come under that..

So if people think we might get some Titanicus, we also might get some Aeronautica. By the logic.

(I don’t think we will see either though really, but technically could be both)

Aeronautica Imperialis isn't really considered anything but its own game, but AT has come under Horus Heresy info before.

GW has been very careful to keep AN and AT as fully their own separate games. I don't tihnk they will entertain "bridging" them together for some time or until/if they do an epic revival. I think they downplay the rumour of such happening a lot to stop people "waiting" for it and to get them spending now since any such plan is likely years if not a decade away.

A world where BFG players could buy Eldar hulls for pennies on the dollar...has its upside.

2020 just keeps on giving doesn’t it?
“Dear Subscriber,



Over the last few months, with much of the world on some form of lockdown due to Covid-19, and people looking for safe socially distanced ways to get things, we've seen a surge in readers signing up for White Dwarf subscriptions.



As always with White Dwarf, we print more copies than we think we’ll need for subscribers – to cover any increase – and usually, we have plenty of copies for everyone.



This time, however, for issue 455, the number of new subscriptions has exceeded our ability to supply everyone right away. Your copy is one of the ones that will be delayed. We’re sorry about this but want to reassure you, it’s only a temporary setback.



Right now, we’re printing enough to make sure absolutely everyone who has subscribed gets their copy, although the delay could be up to two weeks.



If you have not received your magazine by the 15th of September, get in touch with our customer service team who will be ready and willing to help.



As always, thanks for your continued support – we hope that you enjoy the issue.



Thanks,

The White Dwarf Team”

I got the same email...this is after not being shipped the 2nd to the last issue and GW had to send me a non-subscriber issue of WD to make up for it...

1st world problems, but still...

Thanks, Red.

Alright everyone, preview starts in 34 minutes!
Remember that the live stream will begin before that, but will likely just be a summary of the last Preview they ran.

time for last minute predictions, speculations, and wild wishlisting still.

Malerion aelves called something like Umbralneth Shadowkin or something like that.

The Khan for HH

The SM stuff we know is coming but not seen yet officially like the heavy intercessors and landspeeder thing.

The new Underworld season and its contents

Necromunda next edition

And no idea for Warcry

That’s my random predictions
