Flaherty Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 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 CL_Mission, brother_b, 307kg and 6 others 3 1 1 4 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 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 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 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 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 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 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 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 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 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 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 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 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.

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.

Yeah I saw that too, apparently it information provided to a flgs owner by a GW rep. The post was in the terminator box thread i believe. Regarding Yarrick, I would put 1 (yarrick) and 1 (new Trazyn rumours) together to form my own bet on how he comes back (trazyn collected him and let him free for some scheme). If I was a full betting man, thats where my money would fall.

I speculated this but, I honestly have no idea, the only thing that makes me thing it may not be is that GW said in the reveal article, 'The Crux Terminatus Battleforce will be coming to pre-orders soon, with individual releases for the new kits arriving shortly afterwards.' Is soon Christmas for them?

Larkhainan Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I think it's akin to the augustus or w/e named box set before, just a solo one and done to showcase new models. Then they can do another space marine box for christmas. And really, ask yourselves brothers, what would gw do? the answer is more space marines. It's always more space marines.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Bah. These are no good. Do an Imperial Fists box GW. Better yet make all the Christmas boxes Imperial Fists. Do a IF gravis box with Tor. Do a Termie one with Lysander. Then do several more with new IF characters. And for pity sake bring back Dorn! That Tyranid box will be nice for people wanting to start a monster themed army. A Rhino in the Chaos box. A rhino in the DG combat patrol. Perhaps they are starting to try and clear out stock for a new Rhino down the line. Even if it is a couple of years away they might as well start drawing stock down. Any word on prices for these boxes? I'm guessing £5/£10 more than last year.

ZeroWolf Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago A reminder that GW actually prints new sprues for these boxes rather than taking stock from elsewhere as its simply easier. They'd likely have to print more sprues anyway to make up the amount needed for the battleforces print run if they did that method, so more hassle than it'd be worth.
