It looks like there is still life in those plastic Horus Heresy range rumors.  Here’s the latest info doing the rounds 30K fans!

“HH range should kick off in the spring. April-May time. As you already know the Calth stuff will kickstart the range, with boxes labelled for 30k and 40k.
The plastic Mechanicum stuff was intended to work over as part of the core Heresy too.
So I suspect the Mechanicum stuff will get a repack alongside the Heresy releases, when they’re released this spring. as the Mechanicum range. Rather than Cult Mech. and Skitarri. The Calth kits aren’t exactly a “range” on there own.”

If you recall, as far back as November there were persistent rumors of GW clearing out thier stores of The Hobbit and LotR ranges to make room for Horus Heresy as the “third line” of core GW products.  The obvious first kits in this new reboxed range were obviously expected to the sprues contained in Betrayal at Calth, which would give us:
  • Mk IV Tactical Squad
  • Cataphractii Terminator Squad

There were conflicting rumors of whether the Praetor, Centurion, and Contemptor were one-offs for Betrayal at Calth, but there was a long list of others said to be in the works including:
  • Full featured Contemptor
  • Rhino-chassis vehicle kit (contradictory chatter of exactly what it would include)
  • HQ set of some type

This would of course only be the beginning with continual other kits being added. After 2 months of silence it looks like the rumormill is cranking up at long last.  It may turn out that as we see so often, the rumormongers were right, just not their exact timing. The addition of the Ad-Mech into the Heresy mix is a new one.

We shall see…
