WrathOfTheLion Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The Shadow Crusade seems like a good place to go to next.I would love EC praetors, that would be sick. I'm excited to have WB, and SoH ones coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris R Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) It looks like Cataphractii to me but there are definitely tartaros elements. I'm starting to think that that is a deliberate design plan by FW so players can run them as either. Saves them making one of each and I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone who wanted to use them as either option. The only Cataphractii-like element I see is the top of the knee. Otherwise, its all Tartaros. Yep. The announcement in May notes it's Tartaros armor: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/05/14/the-new-imperial-fists-praetors-are-perfect-for-butchering-iron-warriors/.

MegaVolt87 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Re-launch with new box at Terra, first campaign book as shadow crusade sounds pretty reasonable to me. I wonder how gladiator the WE praetors will look. Edited August 24, 2021 by MegaVolt87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I wonder how gladiator the WE praetors will look. I love the 30K Khârn so if they come out anything like that then I will be stoked. And I don't even collect World Eaters. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Did you guys see the background title they used for the IF preator release today? The Siege of Terra... Either another mistake like they wrong title they used for the Death Korps or could be a sign of good things to come. I hope for the later.

Taliesin Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Did you guys see the background title they used for the IF preator release today? The Siege of Terra... I couldnt find this anywhere, not on warcom or the fw website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It is on the FW website, it might only be the mobile image on the front page, so try visiting on a mobile device instead. I think it's just a mistake, just like how they marked the DKoK stuff AoD a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a mistake, just like how they marked the DKoK stuff AoD a few weeks back. They removed it from the site. I saw it on my PC earlier and now they zoomed the image differently so it doesn't show the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangbanger Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don't think it's any coincidence that the rumoured plastic set has SoH and IF, and the latest predators are from those legions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) @brofist its been scrubbed on other countries' sites (and also america as of this time), seems like another mislabel like the dkok and HH matched play.

MCC Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Valrak has a video suggesting the new box won’t be out this year according to one of his sources but we’ll get the Khan model. Not having the box out this year pretty much stops most of my heresy purchases as there doesn’t seem to be much point if it’s getting upscaled.

m0nolith Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Given that the photos are already prepared, I’m inclined to believe that it’s going to be this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Next year is plausible. It's undoubtedly a big release and there isn't much time left to market it this year. We'll know by the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) The not knowing is the most frustrating thing. I want to know: When (to plan)? What (there are whispers of MkII etc and if it was a full range of armour marks and unit types (even if just covered by different upgrade packs) I'd be tempted to ditch my two copies of BaC, one BoP and a bunch of the resin MkIV)? I'm literally sitting on some money that I would have spent elsewhere (but still on GW/FW goods) but I don't want to risk missing the box if it is a limited run/there is some cool limited stuff with the launch (I could see a Black Book style limited edition rulebook if they're relaunching the game which I feel is what is happening).

We'll know by the end of the month. I hope not. I need an excuse to put off starting BT or not painting my banana boi's. HH re-vamp would give me the kick needed to paint my IW's more, because CSM sure isn't doing it for me right now.

Taliesin Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 That latest video does not seem plausible. The whole " lets package a book together with the model" thing feels empty. First of all, the book that he says is coming out is the regular hardcover so that would mean that in the months prior to it, we would have had the limited edition, so its not really a simultaneous hype release anyway. Secondly, the whole month of October being blank is far better suited to a HH boxed game release like the various previous rumor sources indicated, than releasing 1 model.

Valkyrion Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Covid delays or not, I don't think GW can afford to 'waste' a full month without a decent 40k release. I may be wrong, it has happened once or twice, but every month since 8th began has seen a 40k based release of varying degrees beyond single models - be it a new codex, kill team release, campaign book, xmas battle boxes or whatever. That an entire month, with only two pay days before christmas, will be virtually empty apart from a welcome but niche primarch release seems highly unlikely.

Joe Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Given the current instability it's entirely possible. There's legitimate concern about how Christmas will shape up in the UK this year due to the haulage and shipping issues - what good is it promoting a major product if you can't feasibly get it to your customers?

Kindly reminder that Squats will come this year and that they could possible drop in October. I want to be wrong about this whole topic, but I don't see a box, a new edition or a plastic Spartan coming. What I do see is plastic MKVI and a new missle launcher for Contemptors.

Corswain Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 What I do see is plastic MKVI and a new missle launcher for Contemptors.Very true. And even that is debatable - I can't tell plastic from resin when painted in grainy potato-cam photos.I do think it's all pretty likely but the hard truth is that everything is speculation until GW makes an announcement. I would actually be ok with next year as I was really trying to make this year the year I beat the grey pile of shame that has been gathering dust on my shelves.

I have to paint 3000 points of Vlka Fenryka until November. And build the miniatures first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
