It uses not only different models, but by and large models that costed differently, are made differently, and are purchased from a different source than mainline 40K. Horus Heresy is currently very clearly a smaller, spinoff side game. But we also have to consider that the games exist in different forms right now. Sure you could argue that a stagnant HH has lost a lot of players to 40K in recent years, but that’s more due to issues with HH. Both games have been around for years at this point without destroying each other. After all 40K and Horus Heresy DO coexist right now. All this points to Horus Heresy being a major thing going forward. Indeed the large cinematic trailer and new logo are pretty reminiscent of the kick of 9th edition (#new40K) one of the other major GW lines. GW had this to say “The Praetors are some of the first kits moving to plastic, making the game more approachable than ever before.” This very much seems to line up with a large scale move to plastic with aim of a more mainline game. Take the announcement of the Legion Praetor. While we don’t know if this is going to be true yet, the preview does hint at it. In addition, its been described as being a “core game” for GW alongside 40K and AoS.

Talk has centered around this being an edition that moved from Forgeworld Resin to mainline GW and plastic models. In the main those point towards an edition that is more “mainstream” than the last. However, there have been a ton of rumors floating around over the past months. We don’t know too much about the new edition of the Horus Heresy yet. But what does this mean for 40K? Let’s take a look. With it was the announcement of a new big edition of the Horus Heresy. The GW Adepticon Preview has come and gone. Let’s talk about the big new game on the block.
