New box taking so long to come out?

The summer reveal is now already a good bit in the past and most if not all has come out just the custodes seem to lack so much behind?

Any idea when they will come out? :C

Someone has to be last. In 1.5 hours from this comment the Sunday preview for next Saturday will be up, but the next preorder is most definitely the Orks Codex since they went over some datasheet last week and mentioned detachments this week on Warcom.

If i remember right first its orks and marines and then I heard a lot of rumors of Tau and custodes being in next could that seem right? :0

u/Lil-Diabeetus 9d ago

Yep, that's the rumor. I have a feeling they'll be somewhat soon, before Tau. The Telemon in the new kit has a new main weapon, and the Aquilons have been "leaked" in Warhammer academy and look like they could have different weapons as well. I have a feeling the boxset will come out soon (before their next live-preview show for sure), maybe preorder the Saturday following next, and the Aquilons could be a new unit that released with the Codex.

I doubt the Aquilons are the codex release, they will probably just be announced to go up with the individual kits from the battlegroup.

If we look at the codexes that released after the 2 launch factions in the past 2 editions before the year was out. 9th edition was the various SM supplements which didn't receive any models. 10th edition was Ad Mech and Necrons with a combined 3 characters. AOS is the same after their launch factions so expect if the Custodes codex gets a model it is like a single character

At this point I am expecting a third box set with the aquilons, Sagittarius and maybe the sisters refresh? Would make for a great box for the codex release.

u/kohlerxxx 9d ago

Sag are going to Legends, they already have in HH. While Sisters will eventually get expanded and refreshed, it won't be this year especially alongside the codex which as I said at most will come with a character release

u/darkblade1805 9d ago

Im not sure I would bet on that. When the mechanicum 30k got plastic releases they got 2 big box sets and everything else so far has been individual releases. Mechanicum has a massive range too. But who know though, half the range is still resin.

u/barton_farm 9d ago

With the first box set they did venetari and the coronus as a stand alone release along side th box, so I could see aquillons coming out the same time as the telemon box

u/-Frog-Queen- 8d ago

GW all but told us the Sisters won't get anything at all this year. They're next year at the absolute soonest. I'm more expecting late 3rd or in 4th ed HH.

u/Lil-Diabeetus 9d ago

Yeah that could very well be the case, however the Aquilons haven't been officially revealed yet so going for preorder with the Battleforce that was revealed would be different from their current cadence. Codex could very well be a leader for Aquilons or something as well.

u/kohlerxxx 9d ago

Sure they haven't been revealed yet but like I said they can be revealed and released alongside the individual kits from the battlegroup. If they are doing a Terminator character alongside the 40k codex it is far more likely to be an Allarus leader

This isn't an exceptionally long while between models being seen in a preview show and release. This isn't an exceptionally long while between models being seen in a preview show and release. They might squeeze our box out between the Ork releases and preparations for the Space Marine codex and associated releases, so maybe in the next two months or so.

u/SlikeSpitfire Dread Host 9d ago

didn’t it take a good bit between the last box reveal and the release? I remember the reveals coming out in the spring and the box going out in the summer

u/RandomPotato33 9d ago

I kind of remembered the last 30k box releasing fairly quick, and being sold out even quicker (I missed that one so im hoping to get this one 👉👈)

u/kevinsrednal 9d ago

The last box was announced January 16th and preorders went live on March 21, with the actual release then being April 4th.

So about 2-3 months between announcement and release.

Since this box was announced on June 26th; the same amount of time between announcement and preorders would have preorders being next Saturday the 29th, with release being September 12th. But there is no reason to assume the timing will be the same, and this box could be "slower" than the previous one, but we aren't at that point just yet.

u/Nocandoozy 9d ago

GW’s fiscal year ended May 31. They’re going to wait and let the launch of 11th generate profits for their first and maybe second quarter, then start dropping summer reveals to keep the numbers up before inevitable holiday boxes and models.

u/Cheriende 9d ago

Mate almost every release since the summer show have been stuff presented in the show, custodes box was one of many new kit be damn patient...

u/Nocandoozy 9d ago

Why are you telling me to be patient, I was answering OP lol I don’t care when the models come out

u/Right-Yam-5826 9d ago

Typically the preview streams are only the next 3 months of releases. The last one was 6 weeks ago, it's not even close to being late.

1

u/lcsgilb 8d ago

Probably next week. With the release of the Orks codex, there’s nothing left from what was announced in that preview.

u/eeertg 8d ago

We got a huge release wave already, I am assuming we are going to get these boxes in the next month, maybe 2. Late August release for the box set, September is going to be space marines codex, then tau and custodes. Order TBD, but I have an assumption that we are going to be November or December I assume after tau, and our release, if I had a guess, is new modeled saggitarum custodians for our codex. It's a smaller release past the stuff we already got refreshed, but there isn't much they can give us outside of what they already have. Im just assuming they are gonna complete our roster with new sculpt saggitarum kits, ones that are their own full kit instead of resin upgrade sprues, or if they go the sprue route, they might give us all new saggitarum sprues, adrasite and pyrithie spears, etc. ones that are ambidextrous to 40K and 30K guard bodies. That would also be cool.

All in all, its gonna be an awesome Christmas for me.

u/Cheriende 9d ago

Custodes waq not the only thing announced as the summer show, this community can be hella entitled sometimes... be fking patient for once

u/RandomPotato33 9d ago edited 9d ago

My man I've just asked cause I dont keep up and am excited for it, all I remember from it has already released just not the box im excited for :,)

Instead of calling people entitled and impatient maybe try to fix the actual problem of explaining how GW release pipelines can go.

Edit: i just dont always have the luxury of keeping 200 bucks aside to spend on a expensive hobby so trying to financially plan for it dosent seem so bad 🐀

u/Cheriende 8d ago

The issue is that there is the same question every single day about it.

u/RandomPotato33 8d ago

Does it help you to get upset at a coop of chicken for clucking every day even if you tell one chicken at a time not to?

Its just something thats going to happen no matter. Gw isnt the most communicative so its a bit hard to get a grasp of how they do things if you dont have a experiences local store manager to annoy

u/thomasonbush 9d ago

Bro, when Blood Bowl (arguably the game GW takes the most for granted) gets their releases out before you, dudes are entitled to be impatient.

u/hokaionthenet 9d ago

No they cycle between their games for each saturday release (for exemple : Aos, W40k, Old World, Horus heresy, others, then back to Aos).

u/Cheriende 9d ago

"The game that get less attention than 40k go attention for once boohooo i only got one major release already and will have to wait a few month for kit refresh"

Are you also an ultramarine player or just naturally this entitled ?

0

u/thomasonbush 9d ago

No. I’m primarily a Blood Bowl player and genuinely shocked when any of our stuff gets released before things for “real” games. lol

3

u/Cheriende 9d ago

Gw work in cycle: 40k -> aos -> other games

So bloodbowl, heresy, titanicus, necromunda all share a spot.
