Heresy 3.0 in Spring/Summer

For me, the one little tidbit that's suggesting there's any truth to it, apart from people having seen the box but not being able to post pics due to security reasons, is the fact that they announced to drop the rules for Lotara and Daemon Angron in pdf form only.

They won't be releasing a book to go along with that, like they did when Fulgrim Transfigures came out.

That's my personal indication there won't be any more book releases for 2.0

But then, that could also be wrong of course.

Interesting point. They did the Fulgrim book with just him, the chaos EC rules and some reprinted PDFs from the downloads section. They easily could have done the same again, but with two models this time instead of one.

I really don't understand why gw still keep so tight lipped.

 

The live Q+A session was largely pointless as most comments were "we can't say anything" or "keep an eye on warcom."

 

Even rough months would be something.

 

Just because I don't know what's coming, doesn't mean I'll spend my disposable income on other stuff. I'll simply hold until stuff I actually want drops ala the EC release. Can't just be me?

 

Its just corporate brain. We do the same in the big games business even though data shows its better to hype people up. They're just terminally scared of having to deliver against dates and rather keep everything secret until the last minute. So it goes.

Yep, that's also true. They don't like to give detailed information like that until just before release, and generally not in full even then, because they want you to buy the book.

 

I assume that an army made up of some marines, tanks and dreadnoughts ought to be fine. It's things like drop assault or angels' wrath I'd be more worried about - both whether they're legal at all or whether they will be any good.

 

So this is arguably a time to paint tactical squads, unless of course you care about the rules the legions will have.

 

I'm currently going through my kill team backlog instead. I'm really enjoying kill team and kind of wish the unofficial heresy version was played more.

Where would one find an unofficial heresy version please?

 

I was going to build some palatines with jump packs using the mkvi assault squad and new EC 40k bits. However, investing time and love into something that may disappear into the ether doesn't inspire. On the flip side, there's plenty of 40k EC and pointless uni courses to tie me over.

I haven't played this at all by the way so can't comment on how good it is. But could be fun.

I'm especially excited for the (rumored) Mk II plastic models!!!!!! Really want a Mk II squad and this is gunna make that much easier!! :D

Valrak's latest video about 40K Primaris Codex (because as a Heresy fan they're not Space Marines  ) has a bit at the end about the Heresy rumours of a reveal.

 

He feels it'll be May time.

I may have missed it earlier but a 'Saturnine Praetor' was mentioned?

With a huge hammer if the whispers are to be believed :)

Hopefully not Warsmith huge. I love that model but the hammer is too big for my taste.

Would love that, but really makes me wonder why they didn't do anything on Adepticon for that, because that's a reasonably small window for the hypetrain.

The lack of a trailer/reveal for adepticon could also be an indication that it isn't an edition meriting such marketing and more of a 2.5, and they might utilise the heresy thursday slot for drip feed marketing.

As worked out by the lovely Soravion on discord, the preview is likely the 22nd May at Dallas?

 

The premium tickets have access to the preview on Thursday then

Which is exciting but so far away!

Mid May reveal for start of June 2 week preorder window for mid June release feels right and lines up with what they did for AoD.

Oh good about Xenith, even if we don't get the three months between trailer and box, that timeline I feel does fit each summer release from the past few years (well from full box reveal in May to proper release in summer).
