Units repackaging and new releases

[Frozenbeast]

Hi guys, I was browsing GW website this mourning and I noticed something maybe you guys have noticed or maybe not but might be topic of speculation.

I notice that all the units that got a repackaging, meaning new package artwork and re-basing, have received a Battletome at some point. Especially I am talking about all those units that, alongside a start collecting box, have received the repackage of the actual unit box. Example: Nurgle Maggotkin, Sylvanet before they came out (but of course without a start collecting box at the time), DoK now, LoN (skellies were still on square bases if I am not mistaken), we know already of a future Slaanesh release due to fluff and the fact they are releasing one Chaos God per year, and indeed they have repackaged everything for the Dark Prince. I am not talking about those factions which have received a start collecting box and have not had a unit repackaging (e.g. Warherd)

So now my question is: can we expect future Battletomes depending on which faction and unit receive a repackage?

let me know if I got something wrong but this is my feeling roaming around GW website. Also if this is an already treated topic just feel free to ignore this

 

Cheers

It's hard to predict, the reboxing occurs when the stock of the packaging runs out not when a battletome is due, though I don't disagree that the more popular models get a tome first
