[Taliesin]

Dont see a thread on this yet but the warcom article for Monday has Andy Hoare mentioming that:

But this is just the beginning. The Horus Heresy team has been extremely busy writing, playtesting, illustrating, and laying out the next wave of supplements

 

I was positively surprised that finally, a word is mentioned about upcoming campaign books/supplements for the Heresy.

Then even more surprised when Valrak's video stated that he has heard a HH campaign book, very likely set on Chtonia, is close to being announced on Adepticon.

Which btw seems to track back to the Old Faeit rumors from 2 years ago which also mentioned Imperial Fists vs Sons of Horus.

 

Exciting stuff.

I would love it to the campaign book but sitting back now and thinking, it's probably the Daemon book thing

Campaign books would be super exciting. Hopefully more Black Books than Physic Awakening though......

The Titanicus supplements are genuinely really good. Inevitably much, much slimmer than the Black Books, however I can't see them ever returning to one book every year (or longer) costing £80 anymore.

Iirc the Faeit rumours claimed the AoD boxset would be Beta-Gamon and there would be multiple 40k/AoS-esq starter sets, which obviously never panned out. It was also where the $300 price rumour started. I don't think anybody spoke about or guessed Siege of Cthonia until the playtest documents leaked early last year and all the graphic plates referenced it.

There's not gonna be a daemon book though, that army list will be released as a pdf.

So the campaign book about Chtonia you were told about ( which tracks with the older rumors) must be real, I think.

I dug up those old Faeit rumors.

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.

He was not far off here was he, back in 2021.

Natfka/Faiet are a "print everything and anything" situation, to the point that one can look at it as deliberate misinformation - virtually everything that they posted in the run-up to 2E has been thoroughly debunked that wasn't outright lifted from other people, including a frater that was active in the Age of Darkness sub-forum here.

 

I wouldn't put any stock in them consequently.

[Noserenda]

Yeah that set of rumours was completely loaded with nonsense, a Cthonia book might happen but i suspect thats just educated guessing given that the Fists and Sons are the poster children of this edition.

[bushman101]

If the supplement has a bit of something for everyone (new RoWs, Consul options, etc), I'll  be happy

[Misterduch]

It would be grand if the supplements, while focusing on a few factions at a time, would atleast provide generic rules to use aswell

[Xenith]

We know one supplement will be ZM, and the other will be for Apoc/multiplayer battles - WD has said as much. 

[Mr Farson]

Something I was told by a playtester prior to the drop of the new edition 

 

- Supplements and campaign books would add in generic units / Options.

 

-Alternative army lists would be present, the example I was given was an armoured company where units would swap Force Org charts positions, be pointed differently and have limited unit options.

 

-Featured faction specific rows would further enhance the alternative army lists. For example a Sons of horus tank company in a book featuring Soh and the armoured army list

 

- New faction specific rows were to push legions into playstyles they might not use normally. For example, close combat iron warriors or shoots blood angels

Oh so they do intend to do ZM properly at some point beyond the damp parp we already got? That's good to hear, 1.5k ZM is the best way to 30K IMO. Now if only someone in head office would see the wisdom of updating & expanding Tactical Strike/Victory is Vengeance...

I know several serious 30k players who have a hobby of making any and all types of Consuls through neat conversions, even if they have no intent to use that type of consul. This will be welcome!

Maybe Hussar bikers will make a return (along with plastic outrider kit maybe?)

Hehe, ive made about 50 consuls (and while about half predate official models) id be surprised if many were more than 50% the intended model :D The only ones that spring to mind are my blood angel chaplains and both had arm and head swaps.

Well I dont want to defend Natfka as a whole. I just think that there was something to what this particular rumor monger sent them , long before the release of the new edition, he obviously knew something even if some things were changed afterwards ( and indeed some stuff was outright wrong). 

 

Stands to reason there is also a chance his comments about the first Warzone/supplement book being about SoH vs IF will be correct as well.

Yea, they said as much in the WD ZM get-you-by rules, and I recall they said the same when they gave the rules for the multiplayer apoc game they showcased - some basic rules to use until the actual supplement came out. 

[Felix Antipodes]

I don't think we will ever see the like of the Black Books again.  Would be happy for them to follow the standard of the AT books though.  They  haven’t been half bad over all.

[Corswain]

I want to believe...

Anything Heresy is a win for me so if they show off a few new models and a preview like they did at Open Day I'll be happy.

Campaign books would be a solid bonus but I'm always models first.

[Xenith]

Well, looks like it's the Siege of Cthonia, including new SoH and IF rules, more generic units and ZM rules.

Colour me underwhelmed with this one.

 

I was hoping for some of the other factions to be fleshed out: Mechanicum, Sisters of Silence, Daemons, Traitor Auxilia etc.
