Battle Bunnies in 2015

So, it's the end of another fantastic year for the Horus Heresy and we have been utterly spoilt with tones of great releases. 
So, just like this time last year, I asked to group a few questions.

What are you most looking forward to in 2015 and why?

What do you hope to complete and by when?

What do you think the limited edition FW minis will be this year?

Who do you think the next force Forge World will introduce?

What predictions do you have for the Legions in Book 6 (we currently don't know what Legion / conflict is involved apart from maybe part 2 of Calth)?

Your Hobby new year resolution?

What are you most looking forward to in 2015 and why?
With the Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum mostly wrapped up now, I am keen to see what will be filling Forge World's time up. As it has mostly been Loyalist secondary forces currently I do believe we will start to see some Dark Mechanicum and Cultist lists in 2015. 

What do you hope to complete and by when? 
The year upcoming I hope to have all the infantry of my Night Lords done by June including Curze. Also I hope to have Perturabo done in April when he surfaces. Before March I hope to have the Mortalis tiles finally finished too. In the second half I want to see if I can wrap up the Tanks of the Iron Warriors, the Seige wall project, Knights and Titans if I have time. 

What do you think the limited edition FW minis will be this year?
I'd like to see Ingathel the Daemon for Horus Heresy and a Rogue Trader for 40k

Who do you think the next force Forge World will introduce?
Dark Mechanicum as it would see the introduction of a new mini range. 

What predictions do you have for the Legions in Book 6 (we currently don't know what Legion / conflict is involved apart from maybe part 2 of Calth)?
I say Night Lords, Dark Angels, Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists

Your Hobby new year resolution?
Get Titans done and spend more time gaming.

What are you most looking forward to in 2015 and why? 
Ultramarines and in particular, Roboute Guilliman! They have always been my favourite legion. I love the Roman vibe! I just hope Guilliman is as good as he is in the novels.

What do you hope to complete and by when?
Emperor's Children, Luna Wolves and Salamanders before Ultramarines come!! I want to finish the rest of my Ghost Warriors and start looking at other Xenos races. Eldar Corsairs and Exodites are projects I really want to start. I would also like to design a Eldar Zone Mortalis (inspired by Butchers Nails).

What do you think the limited edition FW minis will be this year?
Hmmm, a Rogue Trader or Seneschal would be cool. Maybe even a generic black shield model.

Who do you think the next force Forge World will introduce?
Surely it will be the Imperial Army? They said they won't be doing much in way of Dark Mechanicum as it would be minor changes. 

What predictions do you have for the Legions in Book 6 (we currently don't know what Legion / conflict is involved apart from maybe part 2 of Calth)?
I think book 6 will expand on the Thramas and Shadow Crusades in the 500 Worlds. Maybe the introduction of Daemon Angron too.

Spend more time completing projects and become more adventurous. I also want to learn how to use an airbrush properly! Lol.

What are you most looking forward to in 2015 and why? 
Rogal Dorn!!! I am also looking forward to seeing how the Solar Auxilia fair on that battle field 

What do you hope to complete and by when?
I would like to complete the finishing touches to my pre heresy Word Bearers and then make a good dent in my Imperial Fists while adding a squad or two to our Mechanicum force.

What do you think the limited edition FW minis will be this year?
I really do not have a clue, John Grammaticus would be kl though.

Who do you think the next force Forge World will introduce?
Possibly the Dark Mechanicum, but even then, it would only be minor changes. 

What predictions do you have for the Legions in Book 6 (we currently don't know what Legion / conflict is involved apart from maybe part 2 of Calth)?
I really do not have a clue as I am not very far in the Black Library series to know what campaigns would be next.  

Your Hobby new year resolution?
Set myself personal goals and deadlines and I believe this will help me be more productive with my time. I would also like to have much more battles

What are you most looking forward to in 2015 and why?
I am most looking forward to seeing the rest of what is to come for my legions. With Raven Guard and Alpha Legion on the horizon I am eagerly awaiting the specifics but looking to Corax, who should not be too long away, but also wondering about the Alpharius model and what they will do with him.

What do you hope to complete and by when?
With a relatively and seemingly sumple scheme I hope to have most if not all my Raven Guard legion completed within the year and make a headstart on my Alpha Legion. With the Alpha Legion I want to stsrt playtesting a paintscheme soon and I will show my schemes for both legions in seperate posts.

What do you think the limited edition FW minis will be this year?
I am unsure as to the limited minis as I am still working my way through the Horus Heresy stories so still trying to gauge what characters could come out and at what point. I would like to see a John Grammaticus model as that could be a fun ruled model to play with.

Who do you think the next force Forge World will introduce?
I would like to see an alien race be released to add to the campaigns and also to assist with the Great Crusade. Good choices would be the Laer or even the Megarachnids.

What predictions do you have for the Legions in Book 6 (we currently don't know what Legion / conflict is involved apart from maybe part 2 of Calth)?
I would like to see the Dark Angels be introduced but I have a feeling that book 6 may be an expansion book that relate to Calth or even a universe wide book that introduces more characters or units to already released Legions. Examples include Omegon from the Alpha Legion, Fabius from Emperors Children or even Delvarus from the World Eaters. I imagine the book after would include the Prospero campaign.

Your Hobby new year resolution?
My new year hobby resolution is to complete more projects. I'm aiming to complete at minimum 3 projects a month, owing to work and personal commitments but will attempt to keep to this when possible. This way I can crack on nicely and get through legions efficiently.

So there you have it. Please let us know your answers to the questions in the comments below. Also, feel free to ask any additional questions that you would like us bunnies to answer. 

Take care and have a fantastic new year :-)

  1. How long do you guys think it will be before we see Prospero? I know it was originally going to be 4 but they had to push it back. any guesses as to how far?

  2. Book 7 is the general consensus. About 1.5 years out.

    1. I agree. The book will be massive and a lot of work will need to go into it, so I'd prefer if they delay it and make sure it's perfect then rushing it out

    2. True that. Is there some other early Heresy Campaign that either the Sisters of Silence or Custodes could be written in to? I am beginning to doubt they could drop both completely in one book.
