So will the Orc book be for 9th edition?

10th maybe.

This is not the thread to discuss every rumour in existence.
If it is not in the list, chances are high that there are no reliable rumours.
This thread is just a sticky to give an overview.

Eldar?

This is not a thread to ask "When is X coming out?" questions.

If you don't see anything in the first post, then there isn't any news.

Eldar ARE in the first post. Quite soon actually.

How about Valhallans making a return in 6th? GW added Chenkov to the "Troops" section on the guard page. It might be nothing, but minor changes to GW's site could mean something, like when they removed the Necron Codex before they got updated.

New Tau, Eldar and Ork codexes seem very likely

Ba. We Orksez don't need no new Codex. Give us a better thought out FAQ and let Tankbustas buy Flakk Rokkits fer a point or two each, and we'z Flash.

I suppose you're right, but I wouldn't object if they did something to kommandos to make them better at sneaky Sabotage rather than just being underpowered and overpriced. The models are covered in explosives, some rules for them would. Be nice. Saying that, I'm new to the ways of Waaaa, so I defer to your experience. :-)

Good question, just not in a summary thread for rumours. Why not start a thread in "General Discussion"?

Any news on plastic cult troops for Chaos Space Marines?

Pretty sure he means "cult troops" as in the big 4 CSM.

Don't forget the new Codex Supplement Series of books Iyanden: A Codex Eldar Supplement was only the first there are still the Chaos big 4 that were rumored to come out instead of a unified Chaos Space Marine Codex.

So far this is the predicted release order of the Chaos Space Marine supplement books

Death Guard: A Codex Chaos Space Marine Supplement
World Eaters: A Codex Chaos Space Marine Supplement
Emperors Children: A Codex Chaos Space Marine Supplement
Black Legion: A Codex Chaos Space Marine Supplement
Thousand Sons: A Codex Chaos Space Marine Supplement

I heard a nice little rumor (not from any actual source) that the reason GW is banging out these codices so fast is that they can do just that, release a main codex for each army then release supplements over time that will add to the game. Only scuttlebutt, but I think something like that would be quite interesting. On the other hand, if GW is setting up for a sale or expansion, and the reason for the codices in such rapid releases is to drive up sales and stock prices to increase their worth as a company, then it will be just as interesting to see who would purchase it.

I think that's a fair assessment, the speed with which the last few codexs have been released has been alarming. Given the release schedules pointed to at the start of this article have been spot on then it looks likely that by early 2014 they'll be looking to release the last remaining books, Orcs, IG, maybe even sisters of battle lol. I think this is a really good sign as releasing the codices so close together will hopefully lead to a much more balanced meta game. No more 3rd edition vs 5th edition scenarios.

Makes sense from a business standpoint too, people will buy their armies codex no matter what, it's not like they need to space those out, instead of throwing all their money at huge releases with brand new model lines, just chuck out a few key models and the book, sales will still be high, stagger the remaining models to keep things steady.

Got another "unofficial" confirmation from a GW employee that apoc is indeed due in July

Sorry, OT post...

Well it does have a skull on the new one.. they have to start somewhere!

So, when games geeks are in uproar over legal suits, when fans are angry because they can't buy bits, how do you start a brand new era?

New logo!



And, for those with short memories, the old one:



I have good friends who've done big rebrands; the secret, they say, is to be brave, and clear.

The old one is dated and garish, but is well known and has character. My take is that the new one is merely a watered-down version of the old one. Time will tell.

1.) This is not a new logo, just Apocalypse decoration that will go end of the month.
2.) This thread is a stickie to post the most up to date release schedule rumour, not a general discussion thread.

For those of us who visit this post rarely to see what is possibly up and coming, any chance you can update / clean up the first post would be appreciated. Thanks for the hard work regardless. (tips hat)

Things like:

"Here the list according to 75hastings69 , usually the best rumour source we have:

Sept: CSM
Oct: WoC
Next: Dark Angels
Next (Febr latest): Codex Chaos Daemons, Daemons of Chaos armybook.
Next: High Elves.
Next: Lizardmen armybook.
At least two more, before Wood Elves get their release. "

Well, I think we all know what has already been released, however I think that a future release table would be interesting. We know apoc is July, but next month is ??. I heard that space Marines and tyranids are the next two to be released.

I do my best to update the first post. ATM things are a bit cloudy. The first post always tries to give the best guess though.

From a friend who owns a store, GW os going to relase a new WHF core book. I think the gonna a release it between september or october. All depends of august release..

Are there any rumors regarding "daemons wave 2"?
Was some talk during the new 40k daemons codex release that there would be a wave 2 that would possibly include some of the greater daemons (new models)...

Doubt it, wave 2 releases have been scrapped for the most part.

That blows, I refuse to buy the greater demon models they have now.. they are so outdated and for the amount of money you have to pay its just outrageous.
