Ishagu Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looking at some of the fantasy kits recently, I have no doubt in my mind gw could cast mkIV marines on par with fw.

Excessus Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Eerr, the title seems to point at it being for certain that GW will take over the heresy, but I haven't seen any rumours that have had any substance to them about this. Just speculation and vague statements from "trusted" sources.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Eerr, the title seems to point at it being for certain that GW will take over the heresy, but I haven't seen any rumours that have had any substance to them about this. Just speculation and vague statements from "trusted" sources. The rumour is that they're doing a plastic starter set for the heresy. And they are pretty trusted sources. The most reliable rumour mongers all say it's happening so I'm willing to bet it is. They're very rarely wrong. But no it doesn't look like they're taking over the heresy proper, which was my fear.

Daemon2027 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't think they are taking over I think they are cashing in, I mean making it more accessible by bringing out plastic kits. I doubt we will see plastic Primarchs any time soon.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 They're just wrong when it comes to anything about Chaos. Such as? Pretty sure it's the same people who said about the plastic Bloodthirster with three different builds, guess what we're getting with ET: Khaine? Harry and Hastings are very rarely wrong and the times they have been it's mainly been the release was pushed forward or whatever so they got the times wrong.

KBA Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't think they are taking over I think they are cashing in, I mean making it more accessible by bringing out plastic kits. I doubt we will see plastic Primarchs any time soon. Once this box set sells well, and I have a feeling it will do fantastic sales, I think we'll see GW get more involved in the HH. Whether that means on a basis of making some of the more expensive, popular kits (spartan, Sicarian) plastic the way they did with the Valkyrie or actually starting to produce fluff/rules alongside is the big, scary question IMO.

Atia Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 news from the rumour front brothers and sisters: via Steve the Warboss on Faeit 212It's look like may will be a interesting month. May is one of two month when nobody at GW can make holidays-The rumored Horus Heresy Gaming Set will come at the end of the Month-All Hobbit and LotR Products will going direct only at the same time as usual, take it with a tiny bit of salt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303658-so-whos-excited-about-gw-taking-over-the-heresy/page/5/#findComment-3958846 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Whilst I'm stoked for the potential of plastic marines in MkII - MkIV, even more for the plastic Cataphractii, im just as stoked to see the demise of LotR / Hobbitt. Maybe it's just the vindictive nature in me... As for the molds, and the quality of the plastic goods produced by GW main, as long as they go generic without the finery of the more detailed I'm sure they can come up with a product that matches the FW equivalent. The new Tactical box that they've done gives me the "warm and fuzzy feeling" about that.

As some one that has both a resin and plastic Valk they are worlds apart in detail.

Daemon2027 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 At the end of the day GW can do what they like. There were people doing Heresy stuff before Forge World printed rules, it's good times at the moment, Forge World are doing there thing. GW can come along and and give us some plastic kits to work with, or they can mess it all up, but we are the ones who turn plastic and resin into Legions, and for that all we need is something. Rousing speech over. Edit: said 'at the end of the day' far to many times.

Emperor's Furor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I wouldn't mind if they decided to fill out the earlier years of the crusade.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I wouldn't mind if they decided to fill out the earlier years of the crusade. How? We already have earlier marks of armour, and a lot of the legion specific stuff was used early on, what more do they need to do? At the end of the day GW can do what they like.

Rousing speech over. Edit: said 'at the end of the day' far to many times. Yeahhhh I'd still much rather GW left FW too it though. They're doing an exceptional job and I don't want GW to mess it up, whether we could continue doing our stuff or not. I'd rather have the proper support there, with well written fluff and rules.

Fluff wise or something, maybe thunder armour, maybe they could introduce earlier races that the legiones faught etc, just stuff like that, expand on the relationships of the Primarchs, put the order of their finding in a definitive order for once, show the tension between Dorn and Perturabo, Russ and the Lion etc etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303658-so-whos-excited-about-gw-taking-over-the-heresy/page/5/#findComment-3958936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 *puts on tinfoil hat* Does anyone think this rumor was released by GW to try and "test the waters"? I think it would be good business sense to see where this is going and possible see what customer expectations are before investing in expense plastic molds and salary hours. It can be safely assumed that GW and FW look at our forums whether under company or private time, so hopefully they take in our considerations.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure Laurie Golding has sorted out the order of the Primarchs being found. Thunder armour I could see and all the fluff stuff yeah, I thought you meant more from a model point of view and we don't really need anything for that, except maybe thunder armour. *puts on tinfoil hat* Does anyone think this rumor was released by GW to try and "test the waters"?

It can be safely assumed that GW and FW look at our forums whether under company or private time, so hopefully they take in our considerations. Any other company maybe, but this is GW who have said they don't do market research. It's too sensible for them. Also, the lead time on stuff like this means it's probably too late for it to be that.

Daemon2027 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hey they take the xeno races. Make 30k Eldar and orks, and Hrud. I really want to see Hrud. I've heard there basically skaven in space which would be lame because they sound cool and take a hell of a lot of stopping.

Fire Golem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 There's no need for 30k Eldar or Orks. Maybe make a few of those super orks and that's all we need. If they're gonna do 30k Xenos (FW have said they aren't) actually do 30k Xenos, not just Xenos we already have that wouldn't have changed thaaaat much.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure GW retconned Hrud from 'space skaven' from this image from Xenology: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/2b/DissectedHrud.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111231062108 guess this must be the original concept art: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/3/34/Hrud/revision/latest?cb=20080917215849 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303658-so-whos-excited-about-gw-taking-over-the-heresy/page/5/#findComment-3959000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Furor Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Mega Arachnids would be cool but probably couldn't trademark them, that human race that was allied with the centaur like race when Erebus stole the anathame could be cool.
