ah......yeah sounds like a nice way of boosting the GW coffers before christmas. it'll be limited run to make sure it sells out too right?
RE: Horus Heresy Board/Miniatures games - Gareth - 28-10-2015
No I imagine it's a core game system. From what I have heard the concept with GW now is
AoS - intro system simplified rules
40k - standard system, more detailed rules
HH - veteran system, aimed at collectors
The LotR/Hobbit should be getting removed form stores, so GW still maintain a three system catalogue, with HH replacing the Tolkein franchises.

I've also heard that this will be a permanent system for GW. Which is good for me I've been contemplating a heresy force for a while, but have to many unpainted miniatures and other things to spend moolah on to justify jumping in. this boxed set might be a Xmas present to myself and with it can just get a few cool toys from forge world to get a "complete" force.
Will wait and see though before committing myself as I'm sure someone at the club will get the boxed set first 
Just need to decide on a legion. Thinking Raven guard or night lords, as I love the fluff for both and want a change from blood angels!

ah ok, that makes more sense.
RE: Horus Heresy Board/Miniatures games - Gareth - 29-10-2015
Ok I am rather confused. It would appear Bens concerns were correct. Calth is starting to look like a board game. I guess more details will be coming out, maybe it's a board game that can turn into a miniatures game, which would be interesting.

The kit seems to be boad game based but the minis are standard GW/FW 28mm. I will be interested in seeing how the game plays but to be honest I (along with half the internet it seems) will be buying a box just for the extra models and how good a deal it is compared to FW.

The initial release is a board game, which the reliable rumour mongers always said it would be. Then going forward the range will be made into a tabletop release, hence why all the sprues are self contained.
LoWG have said how well the board game sells will determine how much they delve into the plastic releases for it.
The units will be released with a card for the unit with stats etc on.
|I think the main system comes out summer next year but but that is pure speculation going from GW previous release schedule

...shame they aren't Mk3
I'll probably still pick this up to expand my Iron Warriors into the Heresy. Matt's evangelizing about HH is working on me.
