We’re losing our heads…
We’re losing our heads…
…or someone is, anyway. Found this – cool head! Can anyone confirm if new?? The detailing on the mouthguard doesn’t look familiar…
Shattered Legions incoming?
Rumour has it that the campaign for the edition is gonna focus on the Shattered Legions - some realy cool opportunities for raven guard, salamanders, and iron hands scenarios…
The Emperor protects…
The Emperor protects…
…with cool bits of armour. Clearly new, but what is it? Chest piece? Bit of a turret or a sponson? Those studs aren’t a shape we recognise…
MINDS BLOWN
Well. We didn’t see this coming. How could we? We’re not mind readers. Rumour has it that the psychic phase is making a return, and that there’s a Psychic Lore for EACH INDIVIDUAL LEGION.
Listen up, soldiers!
Rumour has it characters can now issue orders to units, like in Legions Imperialis. If true, could be a really interesting mechanic for adding even more flavour to Legions!
Health & Safety Nightmare
Health & Safety Nightmare
More sprues - looks like there’s even more plasma on the way!!
No idea which unit can take this, but it looks super dangerous to… someone?
2 and 11
So NOW we’re hearing that the d18 is just a d20 with the 2 and the 11 scratched off.
Cool and thematic? Or are d20s cheaper to manufacture? Both?
Buckle Up!
Buckle Up!
Big news for combi-weapon fans - the straps are now adjustable.
Will that change the stats? Maybe!?

Check this out! Battle damaged tank sprue? Looks like a new Rhino to us. Or maybe a predator or whirlwind or Vindicator? One thing we’re pretty sure on is this is definitely not a Razorback.
Big News for Dreadnoughts
We’ve already seen one dreadnought rumour - well guess what? We’re now hearing that dreads can THROW marines as a shooting attack. Which obviously they could in real life so actually quite an interesting rule? All for more realism in the game tbh.
We are shocked
We are shocked
New token type? We’re hearing this marks a unit as “titanshocked” - a new ability superheavies get against smaller units.
MORE DREADNOUGHT NEWS
Hearing dreadnoughts are getting vehicle stats again. Makes us definitely think the throwing marines thing is true - makes a lot of sense.
Too Good to be True?
Is this the new Box Set!?!
We’re skeptical. How come the photos are so bad?
Photographer, the bigfoot guy called - he wants his camera back.
This dreadnought is clearly too big
This dreadnought is clearly too big
Like, look at this thing!? It’s nuts. No way that’s real.
Clearly photoshopped by someone who doesn’t know how big Dreadnoughts are supposed to be.
No dice, photo leak!
No dice, photo leak!
We KNOW there’s a D18 in the new box, but we don’t see one here?
Must be fake.
OVER-Overheat?
OVER-Overheat?
No one needs 2 plasma cannons. How does he scratch his nose?
Looks cool though. Shame it’s not real.
Enhance!
We zoomed in on the text, and it’s total gibberish.
“Small parts?” Really? Have you seen that dreadnought? Those are LARGE parts.
And the next bit looks like it’s in some crazy made-up xenos language we’ve never seen before.
*EDIT: Scratch that last part, it was French. Our bad.
That’s not a bolter
That’s not a bolter
Erm… Did these guys do ANY research? That’s not what a bolter looks like.
You can’t just “make up new guns”, guys. Who are you, Mars?
Why can’t we see INSIDE the box?
Why can’t we see INSIDE the box?
We have a theory.
The box clearly states not suitable for under 3s, but also recommended for age 12+, meaning there is an age range where you can HOLD the box, but not open it.
Therefore, this photo must have been taken by a child aged 4-11. It’s the only explanation.
That might also account for the shoddy camera work.
Bolter Blues?
Apparently botguns are going to S3 in the new edition. Huge boost to survivability of marines on foot.
Another possible bonus to Salamanders playstyle?
Pump the brakes
Now hearing WHITE SCARS in the box. Are we seeing loyalist vs loyalist? Or maybe more than 2 legions in the box?
Flame weapons ftl
Hearing flame templates are HALFING in size. Feels rough on armies like salamanders, but depends what else we see happen to weapons. There’s always melta.
TACTICAL POUCH CONFIRMED
TACTICAL POUCH CONFIRMED
Found a sprue with a pouch on. Don’t recognize it – any one know if new or not? It’s a completely separate piece so must be an option/points costed. Grenades? New extra ammo mechanic?
Flame Weapons FTW
Hearing flame templates are doubling in size. Must be to give the Sallies a big push as poster boys for the new edition. Fire change?
Bring me the HEAVY flamer!
Have you seen this crest?!?
Have you seen this crest?!?
SPOTTED: Anyone know what this is? Looks a bit like a crux terminatus without the skull. Campaign badge or something, maybe? New type of reinforcement stud? Previous big box had a praetor so wonder if we’re seeing a new design.
Do the math
Do the math
Number 2 in a crosshair with 18 as the frame number. 18 known legions, 2 missing - that CAN’T be a coincidence. What does it mean?
HOT news
We’re hearing that Horus Heresy new ed box is definitely coming and features Salamanders as the main faction! Unexpected, but we’re here for it – finally some glory for our guys in green.
Push-fit Heresy???
Push-fit Heresy???
Found this - thinking its green for Salamanders? GW usually use the coloured sprues for push-fit stuff - Underworlds etc.
Thoughts on push-fit minis in the big Heresy box?
Stomp Stomp
Stomp Stomp
Seen this doing the rounds. Looks like a Heresy-era Dreadnought? Don’t recognise it. Looks massive. Maybe Leviathan? Redemptors in 30k? Looks big. What do we reckon?
Rules Overhaul?
Rules Overhaul?
Apparently there’s a d18 in the box - obviously something we’ve never seen in Heresy before.
d18, 18 legions – two theories on this. maybe some new mechanic for choosing legion special rules, or some sort of legion Supremacy roll? Will see if we can find out anything else.
