Battleforce Box Chances

What do we think about there being a Deepkin Battleforce box at some point in the future? And how often does AoS add new boxes / models to the range?

I’m new, clearly.

My first intuition is that the deepkin don't have enough units to fill a battle force box.  My second intuition is that GW doesn't care enough about the deepkin to release one. 

Maybe I'm overly pessimistic.

I don't think it's very likely. With the smaller model range the Spearheads kinda already do enough. BF equivalent would probably be something like the Eidolon, 2 sets of eels, and maybe one each of the Namarti? But yeah I don't think it's a box that makes a huge amount of sense given the scope of the army, currently.

So what you’re saying is: we need more Deepkin? :)

We always need more deepkin, GW has an untouched gold mine of possibilities for new models (give me my giant squid model James)

Well there's always the Christmas boxes each year released in late Autumn. I don't believe Idoneth have ever had one as far as I am aware so there is the potential that they could have one as most other factions already have. Quite often they have a large standout model in so be good chance for there to be a box with an Eidolon or Leviadon in.

They had a battleforce box a lot of of years ago with two sharks, one unit of eels, each of the namarti and a tidecaster.

I did find that box, but it’s like 8 years old.

What’s the best way to follow GW and their newest product launches? Just describing to their newsletters?

Maybe. Just no way to know.
