1 boxset and campaign book per year, apparently?

I have some information again, but this time it seems a lot like the last one.

 

HH will get yearly main releases with two featured Legions focused on (which doesn't mean other legions do not play a role - See SoH and IF, also WS, BA, EC and WE).

 

Every main release will have a box set and a warzone/campaign book. With every main release, the focus will rotate to other Legions and another campaign or operation.

 

Within those months we get regulary releases like for the two other main games but also specific stuff for those Legions.

 

So I assume that later this year we will get the first Warzone book which is apparently:

 

 

First "Warzone" Book

- Featuring the Legions of Imperial Fists and Blood Angels for loyalists 

and SoH and World Eaters for traitors, also Imperial Army

- Includes content before the Traitors entered the sol system

 

So far the rumors have been correct so I guess this will be the path forward.

If hata-gladius is true, why does the art from the leaked core book keep saying Siege of Cthonia?

So we are getting DLC as well.

Damn that sucks moneywise.

On the other hand we get steady input.

Anyone can elaborate how aweful a power treatmill those books are in 40k?

This is an awesome pace for a non-40K/AoS game. I bet that means this year is Mark 6, and the next two years is Mark 2 and 5

Press X to Doubt.

That'd be nice. Edited April 4, 2022 by Gorgoff

Fingers crossed they're campaign books in the vein of FW's old works and not modern GW ones.

I'm happy with this if it is their plan going forwards. A big focus on a conflict between legions guaranteed every year means they are looking long term for Heresy in a serious manner.

[Noserenda]

Honestly this "leak" seemed suspicious before and its gelling less and less with the super credible playtest leaks.

That and one book a year feels very off the other specialist games, let alone the mainline schedule some are hoping for.

[WrathOfTheLion]

I would think it would release at a faster rate, or at an equivalent rate to MESBG or Necromunda.

[Corswain]

I'd like to believe it but if the source is faeit then I am very sceptical.

[MegaVolt87]

Said it before, if HH is going mainline solo area warzone will be in 2-3 part books like 40k.

I can’t see it being one book a year, that seems too slow. You’d be looking at 4-5 years to cover all legions then. I’d have thought 2 would be the minimum or maybe even quarterly like necromunda, blood bowl and kill team. I could see a box a year happening with each year bringing a new armour mark

[Taliesin]

It does seem slow. But then the reason that seems possible to me is that the release of the Black Books the last years has also been at a truly glacial pace.

It's definitely glacial. We had books 1-6 from 2012-2016. Book 7 came out in 2017, on schedule, but book 8 came out 2 years later in 2019, and then book 9 in fall 2020 (as opposed to spring).

 

They definitely cut support while they were working on the new edition.

[BitsHammer]

I wonder if the FW team has to do it this way to balance working on Necromunda, The Old World, Titanicus, Aeronautica in addition to the Horus Heresy.

[Mr Farson]

Extremely sceptical on the one book a year claim. I'd expect two minimum and a kit every quarter

Alan Blight's death in 2017 and the changes in GW clearly screwed up the initial plans.

[Noserenda]

Yeah losing your main writer and then having to write a bunch of Indexes and a new AoD rulebook with minimal notice essentially derailed everything, and then they were i think focused on 2nd Edition in 2020 onwards, if not before, which i think definitely affected the Black books too.

[LameBeard]

The Titanicus campaign books were published at quite a pace: a mix of Legio rules, scenarios etc. I was expecting that to be the model for Heresy 2.0. I realise they’ve had some staff changes, but what has filled the Titanicus gap? Not that one a year bothers me, I like the slow pace!
