Orange Knight Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The only "dead" character I want to see crawl back into the setting is Commissar Yarrick.

Flaherty Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Last year, they were announced on October 5th so we may not have long to wait. GW is really trying to make Tau collections happen! Will be disappointed if there isn't an Eldar option – an avatar with a range of aspects would be amazing. Or the Chaos Knight equivalent of the Imperial box. Fingers crossed! 5: - Tau: 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2024 4: - Adeptus Mechanicus: 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022 - Marines: 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023 - Necrons: 2018, 2020, 2021, 2024 3: - Death Guard: 2018, 2021, 2022 - Tyranids: 2019, 2020, 2023 - Astra Militarum: 2017, 2020, 2023 - Orks: 2017, 2021, 2023 - Adepta Sororitas: 2021, 2022, 2024 2: - Space Wolves: 2016, 2019 - Imperial Fists: 2018, 2022 - CSM: 2019, 2020 - Imperial Knights: 2022, 2024 1: - DeathWatch: 2016 - GSC: 2017 - Craftworlds: 2018 - Drukhari: 2019 - Blood Angels: 2019 - Adeptus Custodes: 2022 - Ravenguard: 2022 - Iron Hands: 2022 - White Scars: 2022 - Salamanders: 2022 - Ultramarines: 2022 - Thousand Sons: 2022 - World Eaters: 2023 - Leagues of Votann: 2023 - Dark Angels: 2024As for when we can expect them announced, here's the historical trend: 2016 – November 15th 2017 – November 19th 2018 – November 5th (Two were teased on Warcom on Oct 28) 2019 – November 15th 2020 – November 16th 2021 – November 18th 2022 – November 7th (Four additional boxes announced on Dec 26) 2023 – October 23rd 2024 – October 5th redmapa, HolyPestilience, 307kg and 3 others 2 1 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386763-40k-christmas-boxsets/#findComment-6133662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Crossing my fingers for a Black Templar boxset, we didn't get one with our release and it seems every other chapter has gotten one Christmas box, about time BT gets some Xmas love!

Kyari Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Pretty disappointing array of boxes for me personally if that's what they are. Oh well, some years you win, some years you lose.

lhg033 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Pleased to say none of those rumored boxes do much for me. Nids Big bugs is a nice idea but I don't want another screamerkiller and neurotyrant so the value of this drops immediately for me.

Another screamer killer might be fun (be better as a multipart kit) but as its still on the neurotryant sprue, that has to tag along and I certainly don't want another one of them.

CL_Mission Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Surprised not to see a Craftworlds box, they've got a lot of great models that could be included and by a similar token Votann now have a nice line up you could make a compelling Christmas box from. There's still time for them to show I guess, this might not be all of it. Nothing really for me though but hey ho.

Alby the Slayer Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) One cannot be a fan of the current end of Yarrick but If they will make it reapper I hope is only to give him a proper hero death. "The blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Imperium" they say. I think the Imperium well is pretty dry now.

AvePicante Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Wouldn't be surprised to see an Eldar and Votann box set announced, both had big releases and no battleforce box to accompany them. It makes sense; release a big range, let the early adopters swarm over the new models for the full price, then release a discount box with the new models to get a second wave of adopters.

I kinda doubt he should be out there swinging a klaw from his zimmer.

There are things like rejuvination in 40k but even those has limits and if you don't want to retcon him as a hero of the second(943.41) and third war(998.41) on Armageddon when he was already old, I don't see why he is still around... If he comes back again, at least most people will be happy it seems, so that's a positive thing.

Karhedron Posted just now Share Posted just now (edited) 44 minutes ago, Orange Knight said: Also.. Orks believe in him so that's all the reason you need for him to be imortal lol Beware of ZOMBIE YARRICK! Back to the Christmas boxes, I agree Eldar are a possibility. I am guessing that Marines will not be getting one this year as we have just had a bunch of Chapter-themed Combat Patrols as well as the new Terminator FOMO box. Although when have GW ever missed an opportunity to sell more Marines?
