Havoc Mystery


I don't normally cover rumors, but...some pics have bubbled up from the web that give me some questions. It looks like a new CSM Havoc squad, including the awesome marine with the rotary cannon-gatling gun that was teased last week. Cool! Also pictures of the sprues.

Extra cool! Great job to whoever pulled these from the depths of the interwebs.
A look at the sprues reveal:
Five Heavy Weapons (Missile Launcher, Lascannon, Hv. Bolter, Autocannon, and Gatling Gun.
Three/Four Special Weapons (Plasma, Melta, Flamer, and something else? Combi maybe?
Two Close Combat Weapons (Chainsword, Power Maul)
Six or Seven heads, Five to seven backpacks with various ammo feed options
Three bodies
Wait..What? Only three bodies?

What does it mean? The sprue with three Hv Weapons only has one body. The sprue with two Heavy Weapons and the Champion bits has two bodies. This does not make sense to me.

Will the Havoc box set only have three guys and a ton of weapons to customize your other squads?
Is there another sprue we haven't seen? (Most likely)
Or is there not a Havoc box set at all, and this is from the Chaos Marines box? Some kind of super set that has all the options for a Marine or Havoc Squad? This seems unlikely, as the Heavy Bolter is different from the pics of the CSM squad.

I suppose we will find out tomorrow.

Nothing To See Here
Unless its Old Man Jenkins!

  1. In my dream world, GW made a two-figure sprue that also comes with an assortment of Legion/ Traitor shoulder pads. Said sprue shows up in the Havoc box and regular box.

    Realistically... who knows.

  2. Okay, this is an interesting alternative-- multiple weapons?!

    The mind boggles!
