Havent seen one of these threads in a while, was interested in seeing what dakka knows. Anyone have any suspicions, thoughts, hard or soft data even?

Questions marks Grizgrin! Question marks! You've been here long enough to know that.

I think he can get away with this question mark injustice until the 2,000th post.

My grammer on the same scale can be as bad as I want.

Planetary Empires, Skaven, Space Wolves

I want Blood Angels... surely GW needs to shift several tens of thousands of assault troops boxes.

You've got Blood Angels, so I don't expect a new codex anytime soon.

Would have been able to do that if they would have made SM Command Squads take jump packs and Assault Marines as Troops.

Planetary Empires, Space Hulk, Space Wolves with Skaven in November.

There's also some WOTR/LOTR stuff too... but...ummm.... .. I don't really pay that much attention to that.


IF Space Hulk is indeed the retro tastic themed game we believe it will be then I would suggest that either Blood Angels or Tyranids might be good spin offs to come from it in some form or other.

Phil Kelly is writing the Dark Eldar codex currently, Andy Hoare is working on the Beastman ( Beastmen ? ) army book. Don't expect Dark Eldar within a year of this date in my opinion though, I still think late next year.

Oh, I'm not sure but I think that Hulk will be a one time print run when it's gone it is gone affair. I'm not 100% on that...but 70% plus methinks. I'm hoping that what I've heard refers only to a possible limited edition or collectors type edition....but... hmm... that doesn't quite feel right to my GW spider senses.

And now, if you read this months WD, it says in 'news in Brief' that Jeremy Vetock is eating green sweets in the corner of the Studio. This i think means O&G army book. But Skaven have crossed my mind in the last 2 minutes.

and Reds8n, there is no Space hulk coming out. Its going to be an IG 2nd wave.

Really ? Hmm.. we'll see. Because I think you're wrong in the first part of the above quote there. No reason for super code named project at GW HQ just for the 2nd wave of guard stuff I'm afraid. I would suggest we might start hearing more HUlk stuff around mid to end of August.

This would be the guard 2nd wave that we've all already seen would it ?

reds8n wrote:This would be the guard 2nd wave that we've all already seen would it ?

No, they're releasing new models for Straken and a bunch of other characters.

But i doubt that's all coming out in September. It was rather... short.

The leman russ demolisher variant kit along with the hellhound kit (also with variants) comes out august 1st

Ive seen pics of the playtesting Space Hulk table, sooooo yea.....

Im going to buy 2.

WD says that Straken and HARKER will be released later this year, not alongside the tanks.

I think that there was a Blood Angels Codex released as 5th Edition updated Chapter Approved articles that were shown in White Dwarf?

Word on the street is that Marbo's going to re-release himself on 31 July.

Then the big question is, card tiles or plastic?

Skaven tend to eat greens stuff, that's true.

Nice, even though i have no capabilities to update my skaven army in the near future (serious non-buy vow before I "finish" an exising army)

Greets
Schepp himself

Not to disrespect the OP, but would it be a good idea to have a stickied "The Upcoming Release Schedule, As We Know It" topic that updates when we find these things out, so that we don't have to have new release schedule questions every week?

I'm interested to see what a Skaven update would look like.

I'm more interested as to when the Stormtroopers and Lukas Bastonne are set to come out, as that's the biggest thing holding me back from starting my Stormtrooper Assault Force.

I thought that the single question mark I put at the end of the message subject conveyed inquisitiveness as opposed to being declaritive just fine. No offense, but dont look for punctuation upgrades on my part soon, especially when the current state and usage ref: Engrish language are just fine and have been for quite a while.

hammerofulric wrote:You've got Blood Angels, so I don't expect a new codex anytime soon.

I, for one, do not. However, I can hope. And here's a question for the Dakka at Large: I remember reading that they chose to do the BA codex (such as it is) the way they did and how they did because of the excessive number of individual documents that previously were needed (what, 4?). Did the BA dex come in it's proper order in the release schedule? Did it actually take up a release "slot" that could have gone to another dex/army book, or was it just chucked into a WD? I don't remember much lead up to it's release, it seemed kinda outa the blue to me, but to be honest I wasnt (and still dont) following the news on those subjects very well at all. Is it possible that the BA release was a stop-gap measure more to address the number of documents needed, and wasnt considered a full "release" the way IG was? Just a thought. I'm not suggesting that any one codex or AB should be pushed further back, or that marines need ANOTHER update, or that other books are not in more need of update. I know some people get really butt-hurt when this subject comes up, but that's not my goal. I'm just asking some questions.

THanks for wading in with fairly reliable info, red. Always good to see you writing out your "opinions" on what's coming up. Funny how those opinions have an unusually high score in the black.

Yes, and it causes heart ache when mentioned on this forum for BA players and haters alike.

No dis taken as I think it would be a wonderful idea.

This is an excellent idea

Yes and it sucked almost as badly as the Dark Angels codex.

But at least DAs got a proper codex....

Huh? It was FREE, and is among the more playable SM Codies to come out from GW.

I hardly call that "sucking".

Yes and it gave them a lot more character than the DA Codex afforded the Dark Angels.

Blood Angels got Assault Squads as Troops

Dark Angels got accurate teleporting for Deathwing Squads. Very "Hunt the Fallen" that was.

Shouts out to Mr. Scryer in the darkness for the spot and the translation;

Cентябр = September


Большая коробочная игра = Big box game

Ha данный момент нет ничего подобного = At the moment there is nothing like it

Oграниченный тираж = Limited edition

Bы можете только догадываться = You can only guess



17ое Aвгуста = 17th August

So why did the Soviet branch of GW get the scoop first?

GW just likes them better because of their big furry hats

It's make up for not having great coat IG with big furry hats in plastic.
