Since before. The decals were the first confirmation of it.

Decal sheet for reference:

Exodus has a model.

It's not that I hate marines but anything that isn't a tank is basically going to be near identical - you can't really change the appearance of a marine all that much at this scale like you can in 28-32mm

Even Dreadnoughts aren't all that big

I really hope GW doesn't do it - it just feels so DULL a direction to take things when they could create xenos/demons/other imperial factions/other non-loyalist factions and such that had much more visual variety.


Perhaps an upgrade pack for tanks or something so it doesn't create a billion models and listings and work and such

Thats not an LI specific image, those look like 28mm minis, so...

Okay that's what I thought. Was worried I was losing my mind there for a moment.

So, after the LI FAQ last week, and some of the resin character backlog for HH going up for pre-order on Saturday, what do people think we might see today for Heresy Thursday?

Fluff article!

I’m think a…tank

Possibly Sabre.

But I’m not basing that on owt beyond wishful thinking.

Alpha Legion models have enough antennae to make them kinda stand out.

But I see your point. The whole point of Heresy Armor is that they were running low and just started slapping armor pieces together.

I think we're at least 4 resin Consuls away from another plastic Marine thing, but the next plastic Marine thing will be a Rapier

I'll be honest, I didn't have "Nothing" as the likely outcome.

Last time they posted nothing on a Thursday it was to do Heresy Friday for Valentines.

Perhaps there's something else queued up for Easter weekend.

I'm now assuming a new Sanguinius on Easter day.

I think with Easter Sunday being about Jesus rising they’ll go along the lines of the god-emperor’s namesake the Imperator Titan being rereleased in LI.

Can’t think what else they’d could do tbh.

Didn't they make a "World Easter" joke a couple months ago? I swear, if they actually do that...

...then it will restore my faith in humanity.


That's an odd sentiment... but okay.

I've wondered for a bit, is there a correlation between a model existing in Legion Imperialis also soon going to see a release in Horus Heresy and vice-versa?

They do have the bunny ears…

You win.

If we're making terrible, outlandish guesses, surely it should be a Space Wolf for the russurrection?

40k WE codex and HH Angron model for World Easter? Yes please

As for reveals, they could do a 'HH reborn' thing and tease the new edition.

I LOL'd a lot - good Dad Level Jokes-n-Puns!

So, it looks like in the end we just got...nothing then?

Are we still on the "bro trust me" level of confirmation that there is a new edition or has there been some actual word from GW.

Unless I've missed something, the former.

The internet, including several Heresy-focused YouTube channels, were convinced that a new edition is coming in the middle of the year, and there were some fairly specific (but not entirely consistent) rumours about the contents of a new starter box. But when nothing was announced at Adepticon, the wind went out of the whole thing, and now everyone seems to be scratching their heads in confusion. As we get closer to the middle of the year without anything said by GW, it should be less and less likely that a new edition will be launched. However, it can't be ruled out.

My speculation?

They may be half right. As in, there may be a new boxed set coming (highly likely). And it may contain an updated rulebook.

But, rather than being a new edition, it’s a Necromunda style “and this one has all the existing FAQ and Errata changes printed” updated rulebook. (Possible, but not nailing my colours to that mast).

It's worth adding that for the last three years all we really got from Adepticon was:
a) A video trailer for AOS/40K/HH
b) A confirmation that a new edition was coming (with a couple of models in the 40k year, but none for HH/AOS)

The lack of an Adepticon showing this year could just mean that GW didn't do a fancy updated trailer video for HH this time (or it wasn't ready in time). They also have a lot of 40k stuff to focus on currently to keep the codex releases on schedule.

The full reveal for all the models in the Age of Darkness & Skaventide boxes didn't happen until May, so I'm not going to panic unless we see the Dallas preview event pass by without news.

The Age of Darkness box has been unavailable for a few weeks, make of that what you will.
