GW Talks Horus Heresy Rules Future

There’s been a lot of confusion on the future of the 30K Rules – so we asked GW what’s happening.

Warhammer 8th Edition on coming soon and EVERYONE is excited about it!

The Question

Except the 30K players who are a bit anxious at the moment.  Just last week folks noticed that there was a mismatch of messaging from official GW channels regarding the future of 30K rules:

Warhammer Digital product pages said: 30k will be getting updated rules to go along with 8th Edition.
Forge World product pages said: 30K will be using the current rules (7th ed.) once 8th Edition arrives.
And that led us to ask GW directly: “What’s up?”  
30K players are a very loyal set of folks who really really love their plastic dudesmen, paid a high price for them, and rightly want to know what the future will hold for their hobby.

The Answer

GW Communications Staff asked BoLS to pass on to the community:
“Horus Heresy will carry on using the current ruleset right now (7th), and this will be the case for a while yet.
We will have confirmed news about the future of the Horus Heresy game and setting at Warhammer Fest at the end of May.”

So there you have it – right from the horse’s mouth.  It’s 7th Edition (“for a while yet”), and everyone sit tight for more word on what’s coming for 30K at Warhammer Fest.
