Soldier of Dorn Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Patience, my brothers, patience. As I am so fond of saying: "good things come to those who wait." I've got a bit of money in the kitty, set aside for this. Enough, if the price point is same as B@C, to buy two boxes. I'm hoping there'll be minimal Custodes/SoS presence in the box, though. As cool as that might be to have widely available kits of both of those, I personally would rather just have more dudes to build my army with.

Doctor Perils Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Do we have a time frame as to when we can expect concrete details on the new box? Sooner than you think *sigh* Why don't you just tell us straight away? I don't mean to be nasty or anything, and I truly respect the effort and time you put into giving us these rumours, but is there any reason to hold back on them?

As cool as that might be to have widely available kits of both of those, I personally would rather just have more dudes to build my army with. Pretty much exactly how I feel. I really want an entire box of MKIII. I understand the reasons, but I'm looking forward to a fun new game in and of itself. After all, boxes of regular guys will come regardless, but characterful individual models that have a more narrow appeal rely on boxed games like this to be made and sold. I bought Betrayal at Calth simply to cannibalise the models, but it's a fun game – and one-off boxed games like this are fun to introduce new players; I'm looking forward to having a game to play with my nephews. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325090-the-new-hh-box-highly-likely-to-be-prospero-happy/page/8/#findComment-4490552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend and I still break It out and play it pretty frequently. I'm hoping for a similar, tile-based game but it will be difficult to do the same thing and keep it fresh. I've just finished painting the entire B@C contents as Night Lords and I'm dearly hoping this new box will be MKIII so I can use it to make Iron Warriors. I will still play B@C and whatever this is called as a standalone though. It'll just be Night Lords vs. Iron Warriors. As you can imagine, I enjoyed the battle in your thread immensely. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325090-the-new-hh-box-highly-likely-to-be-prospero-happy/page/8/#findComment-4490580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-Four-Arms Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The leaked TS librarian images have only provided a glimpse of the helmet, torso and shoulder pads of the plastic MkIII. I'm hoping that GW also includes the aesthetics of the DW Overkill IH character (different leg armour & backpack than FW version).

I like the Iron Hand but I prefer standard MKIII. I figure he's in a highly personalised suit of MKIII, hence the many differences. I like my Iron Armour all knightly.

Corswain Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm betting on leaks in the next few weeks, maybe October release. I have no evidence or info on this but if we see Russ and Prospero arrive at FW Euro Open Day (October 1st) it would make a lot of sense. Untill it does arrive though, just gotta be patient. Even if the hobby bugs are scratching up my brain real good.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I think it will come out around the same time as when BaC was released so maybe this November.

Corswain Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Very possible. My only reasoning for October is open day. That being said, if the open day stuff takes a month to become available for general release, then November works well too. I think that timing is key - if Russ drops at/around the same time as a Prospero themed plastic Heresy box then there are going to be a lot of Wolves fans salivating even more than usual. ;) I might be too, come to think of it.

Bloody Legionnaire Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 LG didn't seem very happy about it in First Expedition.Can you give a link? Or quote? Edit: Think I found it. Tbh, sometimes beeing quiet would be better than writing something. Anyone can understand that he, as he's working for them can't be "happy" about leaks, but that's just .... silly. Is the hobby now worse that we got a leak (especially as Athrawes snapped really good pictures of his model)? I don't think so. It builds hype. He should be happy about hype for the heresy. But than I never agreed with Mr. Golden, and his style of saying things. We are talking about an item that has been stolen, leaked to the internet and then sold. That's a biggy. Regardless of hype, someone who works for the company has made a massive breach of contract and trust. He's entitled to be angry in my opinion. From what I understand, the seller accidentally found it in his copy of Death Masque instead of either Artemis or the new Eldrad. I'm not entirely sure if that's true or not, but if it is it sounds like a mistake rather than theft. Someone else can confirm or deny my understanding of the story. That was my understanding as well. Pretty sure if GW believed it was stolen they would've have had the auction shut down. Do we have a time frame as to when we can expect concrete details on the new box? Sooner than you think The sooner the better. I know I need to dedicate my funds to 30K/HH but I'm finding death masque for some really good prices and I am super tempted to redirect some funds Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325090-the-new-hh-box-highly-likely-to-be-prospero-happy/page/8/#findComment-4499915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hold strong Brother! :) I'm tempted too but really, I'll probably pick it up eventually. Heresy First though!

Cloud Runner Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I grabbed Death masque to use in my 30k Dark Angels. Should be able to kitbash (with the aid of the bitz box): 5 recon marines 5 destroyers/stylish running marines Cypher (moritat) Unnamed Praetor Plus of course the venerable dread to add to the talon Then there's sprinkling other bits elsewhere Backpacks on rapier crews Power swords everywhere!! Funky little cogitator arms Bare heads For me it's a great box for my Caliban side of things. And getting back on topic, the new box with Mk3 will be great to flesh out the terran side with some line troops (used BaC for a veteran cadre) Gonna be some good tomes on the heresy train!

CHOOM CHOOM!! Don't tempt me!!! ;) Seriously, MKIII is perfect for Dark Angels (Terran and Calibanite for me) but I'm going to wait for FW to cover them properly. I'm going to put this box towards an Iron Warriors army. Or Shattered Legions if the box turns out to have a mix of MKIII and MKIV. Custodes and Sisters will probably mean Shattered Legions too so I can use them. All depends on what's in the box.

Dantay VI Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Depends when it comes out. The hobby funds took a hammering recently with stuff at home needing sorted out, so I am going to have to make a hard choice between getting Russ or this, if thy come out at around the same time. beyond Atia saying it is coming out very soon, I there anything more concrete, or are we still wish listing what we want in the box? Also if it is Wolves vs T-Son specific, anyone want to swap their Wolves for my T-Sons?
