Warhammer 40,000 Summer Campaign this year:

Sororitas and Space marines are the Imperial side

Tzeentch is the focus of the antagonists with multiple new kits:

– Plastic Lord of Change

– New Tzeentch Daemon unit

– New Tzeentch CSM unit (perhaps new plastic Thousand Sons – Rubric Marines)

Quote

via Hastings:

Then separately DA & Tzeentch type stuff. Oh but don't rule out the missing GDs etc. they're all done
Two are due out this year (greater daemons) AFAIK, and we've seen pics of 1

2015 will be the year of supplements and campaigns. Dark angels will almost certainly feature in the next campaign which i heard quite possibly is called DarkStorm

Despite all these wonderful rumor releases it would seem the next 40k campaign has been forgotten.. it will be a summer kick off just like stormclaw/red waaggh was..

via Nightfury, Faeit 212 comments:

I haven't heard or seen anything about plastic HH so i wouldn't expect it before the summer campaign which incidentally i haven't seen anything on yet either but i was specifically told last year that they have a campaign schedule to do one every 6 months which has held true so far with the insinuation that this summers campaign will be imperial vs chaos.The only thing i can confirm is the upcoming Skitarii release within the next few months with a codex/suppliment release. i was specifically told campaigns would be used to tie releases together like we've already seen so expect AdMech to be part of this next campaign. side note: i know for a fact that plastic Sisters are coming and sculpts/moulds are finished and pre productions are underway though a release date is still well off

We’ve been hearing whispers of these for months now, and here is what is on the way for the Ruinous Powers’ followers:

Look for the following kits redone in plastic throughout this year:

Berzerkers (10 man kit)

Plague Marines (10 man kit)

Rubric Marines (10 man kit)

These are completely redone multipose plastic kits. Earlier rumors have placed two of these already – so that adds to the corroborating rumormongers out there. Berzerkers were mentioned last month as being tied into the 40K Khorne release that seems to be right atop us. Rubrics have been mentioned as being released alongside the redone Lord of Change in a Tzeentch wave that is part of the Autumn campaign (along the lines of Stormclaw / Shield of Baal).

That would place the only unknown of the three as the Plague Marine box, but there are going to be TWO 40K campaigns this year.

Details on Eldar, Tzeentch & Dark Angels

“Next 3 releases are still Eldar, DA, Tzeentch.

I’ve now heard the DA Tac. Squad isn’t coming with this release. (Which in no way means the release list has changed, the release dates do NOT change. If isn’t coming it simply isn’t coming.)

The Chaplain I heard about is also apparently going to be released separately rather than in a box set as I thought originally.

It was specifically titled a “Interrogator Chaplain” rather than just DA Chaplain ala the Blood Angel Libarian.

So as far as I know the release will just be a new Chaplain and Codex.

Release date May.”

Similar comments on Faeit. No smoke without fire, but it all seems a bit back-and-forth. Still can't reconcile that this would be the fastest turnaround on a codex ever!

**Nvs**

All this Tzeentch, I can't wait. I hope the new CSM unit isn't demons related. A brotherhood of psykers type unit would be fun. A new spell table would be even better. But even if it's just plastic Rubrics, I'd be ok with that... so long as they take a long hard look at the unit and flesh it out more. Some heavy weapons for example would be nice.

**the_Armyman**

DA Tacs would be nice. I don't need anymore green marines, but if they turn out nice like the BA Tacs, then it'll be good for new players. And if they make the Interrogator-Chaplain as awesome as the Sanguinary Priest, I might actually buy one. Although, again, why do the DAs always come out right before the SM main codex? Almost guarantees they'll bork points costs and wargear all to hell.

**Commander Cain**

I could really use some Rubric Marines for conversion purposes. June/July can't come soon enough!

**Azreal13**

Sadly a lot of this info is from mongers with decidedly shakey track records, and I'm reasonably sure someone with a better record than either nightfury or Larry Vela (but I forget who) has dismissed any idea of a campaign.

That said, if Hastings says new Tzeentch stuff is coming, woot!

**pretre**

Yeah, good news from Hastings. The rest? Meh.

**techsoldaten**

I know it's Hastings, but I will believe it when I see it.

It just can't see GW doing anything good for Rubric Marines. It's been too many years since they were decent.

**jreilly89**

Here's to hoping GW won't gak the bed on a DA codex. Just kidding, because Eldar!

**Flood**

Sooooo, DA before SM? Although at the current rate of releases they could well fit in SM between now and July I suppose.

Want an instant fix for Rubric marines? Give them a couple of Heavy Bolters and make them Relentless.

I really could live with a Rubric-type Terminator unit. Give these guys Heavy bolters and enjoy the carnage with a 2+/4++ Soulblaze twin-linked 36"-ranged action.

**angelofvengeance**

I hear Hastings is pretty much on the nail with N&R stuff so I'm willing to go on a little faith here. Plus as others have said- bling'd up DA tac squads would be awesome! The Blood Angels tacs are brilliant. I suspect they'd get a Plasma Cannon in their kit though since that's kind of their thing.

**Thairne**

I'm scared gak less and still looking forward to the new DA Dex.
Kind of a sado-masochistic relationship, I guess.

I think "beaten wife syndrome" is more common among GW customers, but hey, whatever works for you, man. Not judging.

However, the amount of utterly contradicting rumors is staggering. SoB are coming! Tzeench is coming! 30k in plastic is coming! 30k board game is coming! Was-hammer-fermented-to-bubbleverse is coming! Raven Guard vs Tau starter is coming! Marines are coming! Dark Angels are coming! Two new campaign books are coming! And everyone claiming everything else on the list is wrong.

Honestly, the only thing i am willing to bet on right now is a Tzeench demonkin book at some point with a new Greater Demon for it. Not saying that every other Tzeench-themed unit shouldn't get a complete overhaul - 1k Sons upgrade pack is just making me sad, the demons look fugly and the rules are garbage for both. I just compare it to the Khorne release where we saw only the Bloodthirster variants. That ship is sailed now and I am pretty sure there will be no new Berzerker-kit coming.

The only thing GW is being really good at right now is to completely avoid any form of predictability. Personally, I think a new starter with SM coming shortly before/after sounds plausible, but then again, so does the whole SoB-Mechanicus-Tzeench-Campaign stuff.

This is why we have a rumour tracker!

If you cross reference the sources of rumours with the tracker, it is much easier to separate the wheat from the chaff. In short Harry, Hastings and thus far Sad Panda are solid, Larry Vela and Nightfury are so erratic that the most logical interpretation is they're just guessing and extrapolating.

**Mathieu Raymond**

I have no idea why they threw SoB in there.

Ain't a true rumour thread without SoBs and plastic thunderhawks.

**ashikenshin**

I got excited about SoB then reality sank in. So tzeentch? kinda like the Khorne daemonkin book, nice.

**Desubot**

Tzeentch?

I'm calling shenanigans

its not korn or nurgle so it cant be true.

Lord of Change rumors?:

http://eltallerdeyila.blogspot.co.at/2015/05/rumores-nuevo-senor-de-la-transformacion.html

Google translator that someone on Bolterandchainsword used:

+++++++++++++
"Hi all, I usually read forum MB, but never before I had checked me to post. However, it has come to me something important and I think is worth sharing:

A friend of mine was in Nottingham last week, and told me that he was introduced to someone who works in GW. They were drinking beers and just the GW told him that soon (summer), may afford a new kit lord of change, coinciding with the codex Tzeentch daemonkin 40k. About the rules, he said some other things:
- The most expensive is lord of knowledge (Tzeentch) and has +1 impact and force spells and has an additional +1 for passive knowledge. (Pulls horrors 3 + !!!)
- Another of the lords of the change has a linked spell is as basic but affects all enemies in the area (a little Kroak style). Also it bears a resemblance to the verminlord warpseer world, which gives +1 to launch special and when large template is deformed F1d6 with flames.
- The other appears to be a new version of Kairos, very similar to the current rules.

No longer a rumor, because that guy what was said between beer and beer and we know how are the English ... but if it is really looks good!"
+++++++++++++

So we'll see..

***Please oh please someone who actually speaks Spanish translate this stuff.
