horus-heresy-faction-iconFor Warhammer 30K to explode into a mighty new product line for GW, it needs a solid plastic foundation.  Here’s the solution!

Rumors say the plan is for GW to produce a small line of Horus Heresy plastics that will form the backbone of a new product line,  Gamers can then move into Forgeworld for the Legion specific and the rare stuff.  There needs to be a small but strong set of iconic models to put on shelves to pull in the new folks like moths to the flame.

Here’s what to build:

Legionnaire Box – Ten models to bulk up your army. Composed of the most common marks of Crusade and Heresy armor. 7xMk.II, 3xMk.IV, bolters.

Alpha_Legion_Mk_VI

Relics of Heresy Box – Five models of the rarer marks to use to “spice up” your army, use for small distinct units, or spread out the bits to give your force some character.  1xMk.III 2xMk.V 2xMk.VI, bolters, pistols, CCWs

Contemptor Dread – THE Iconic dread of the Heresy.  Give it a sprue with all the standard weapons.  Folks can hit up FW for the fiddly rare bits.

IF_Vet_Assault_Termi

Catphractii Terminators – 5 of the Terminators that define the conflict.

RG_Scimitar_Jetbike

Scimitar Jetbike – You want to instantly give the Heresy a different visual feel on the tabletop?  A 2 Jetbike box (think Skyweavers) with a bunch of weapon options for the bikes.  Eat your heart out 40K Ravenwing!

Deimos Rhino – Bring back the old school Rhino – Heresy style.  Plus this kit can form the base kit for all the other Rhino variants down the road.

Land Raider Proteus – It’s time for the old Rogue Trader Land Raider to roll again – in its new sexy updated look. These in plastic would FLY off shelves.

 

You put those ten items on store shelves with cool unique 30K packaging and watch GW’s coffers fill at warp speed.

What did we miss?
