From Lords of War Gaming:

Now that Wolves have hit, The next 40k army will be Grey Knights. This release will be codex and data cards only. There will be zero kits for this release.

Should be soon. BA and DE could be down the road, but my source says GK. He's been right so many times.

No new models sounds weird for a codex release this important. But so far everything he predicted was right on.

Though they could release new different bundles without having actual new models. Or they could do a new Stormclaw like boxset with the rumored new daemons/csm units as the opposing faction.

Weird, thought DE and BA were next

Not that I would complain

Maybe lack of kids means they'll be opening more vanilla SM gear up to GKs

They definitely seem to be dialed in on the rumor front so far.

A Grey Knights vs Daemons campaign set like Stormclaw would be really cool.

All of my money for that

At least the GK parts

GK always need some good daemons to kill

No new models? Hmmmmm that sounds fishy. Though the digital books didn't get models, so it's not out of the question. While there might not be new models, they could just stuff the codex with stuff like Whirlwinds, Thunderfire Cannons, Storm Talons, and other things vanilla mariners get.

Regardless, I'm interested, but not hopeful.

Blood Angels are gonna be mad....

Why no new models though? I'm not huge on what GK need or want but surely they're lacking a couple bits and pieces?

As a new player (I've read a few codices, but I haven't bought any models), GK interest me. I think smaller "elite" armies would be better starters since they cost less.

Given what the update for their FAQ put in profiles for Whirlwinds and Predators, I won't be surprised if they did that. It would round out the army's inventory, if you don't count having troop termies as a replacement for a lack of MBTs.

Grey knights are missing Grand Master Mordra and his Ghost knights and a named inquisitor (which wasnt in the inquisition dex). Everything else technically has an official model. Most of the inquisitional henchmen are in blisters of 1 or 2 per box.

While it sucks that GK players wouldn't get new models, it does save GW money since kits for those tanks already exist, and it boosts sales on those existing kits.

@ace While it sucks that GK players wouldn't get new models, it does save GW money since kits for those tanks already exist, and it boost a sales.

It could be a way to promote the rumored Daemon release while selling some of the SM units that GK can now (theoretically) take. A couple Strike Squads and a Whirlwind plus Character etc.

The GM model will probably be in the Box if they do a Sanctus type box for it.

As for models, they just need more of the SM options really

A new codex with no new models? I doubt it.

So maybe there's no new codex at all, just a Sanctus Reach style box with GK and er, someone else (Daemons would be the most logical choice). Given how fast Sanctus sold out, more of the same would surely appeal to GW's bean counters, and such boxes are minimal effort to produce (especially if they don't even bother including a couple of new Sanctus-style commander models).

Tweek the rules, bring psychic powers up to 7th edition.....and done. They don't really need anything new as they are supposed to be anti demon, but I could see them bring the other tanks and jets in as limited qty models. Plus they probably still want to get their stuff out now before dreamforge games gets the rest of their overdue kickstarter completed so they sell the GW kits to the impatient players before nicer kits come out.

Exactly. This "rumour" is nonsense.

Seriously. Could we get a fantasy release please??

The score stands at 2-5 in favor of 40k...and growing...

I'm not asking this to be cute, I honestly can't remember, but:

When was the last Fantasy release? Dwarves in Feb right? It's seriously been 5 months without another Fantasy release with that number looking like it's just going to go up?

I know 40K is their money maker, but seriously.

It's specialist games all over again, they do nothing to excite the community, generate interest or drive sales, then, when it gets flushed, turn around and say "well, nobody was playing it!"

Ah, thank you. The past 6 months have kinda all run together(whoo, baby prep).

I hope it is false. I like my GK codex just fine and don't feel like being taxed another $50 to play the game a few times a year. And predators and whirlwinds are the last thing that fits the GK theme.

The could release a multi-part plastic kit to make assassins and henchmen.

Maybe roll the SoB in the codex too, while they're at it...

Pretre, that was a joke, don't add me to the rumour tracker.

The only thing I would really add to the GK codex is possibly more deep strike options (give it to everyone) and orbital bombardment support.

But seriously, I'm very ready for a new fantasy release. We still have armies playing their 7th edition books for crying out loud!

They need a Deathknight for the Dreadknight to pilot.

So the (plastic) SOB will be a part of the GK release?

Please say that this is reliable! I'm in the process of painting my 1500 pt pure gk army!

lol - someone needs to make a photoshop of this, with the Dreadknight's leg dangling from the baby carrier seat of a much larger Dreadknight.

I'd be surprised if we see two back to back Imperial Releases, when was the last time that happened?

I could see a mini Daemon wave followed up with a Daemon vs. Grey Knight campaign box with the Grey Knight codex following. Depending on the contents I'd be buying many boxes of the campaign box.

GK could do with a dual plastic kit for henchmen and servitors, not sure they would sell well enough to justify the cost and I'd expect all the Inquisition options to be removed but still.

With the current focus around unbound it doesn't make sense to me to remove options from codexes for units that already have models elsewhere; wouldn't they sell more Guard if you could take them as troops in the GK codex? Likewise with Leman Russes in the Space Wolves Codex?

I hope they release more dreadnoughts with gks. .need an entire wall filled with nothing but slightly different space marine dreadnought boxes
