I missed some.

Appreciated, I don't know feth-all about Fantasy.

Quite a bit of "well, duh!" here. I'm of the general opinion that "X stays in its current slot" shouldn't count as a rumour.

It didn't help him very much. Natfka has a piss-poor record even with the 'Duh' entries.

Updated everything. Thanks again!

Updated a couple. Adding BoK's Eldar Speculation as speculation in a minute.

If it is speculation, why add it? Educated guesses aren't rumors.

Because it is good to track. I listed it as speculation so it doesn't hurt or help him, but does track if anyone is interested in what he has said.

Big winners and losers today.

Hastings is lovin' it.
Stickmonkey has lost any credibility he had, imo.
Ghost21 is almost done with another batch bad.
Poor Kirby must have been fed a serious line.
Best Pone is looking like a good newcomer.

As an aside, you seem to have docked people "false" for new aspect warriors. Technically, the Crimson Hunter is an aspect warrior.

Yeah, I fought with my self on that one. Ultimately, although the CH is an aspect, it isn't what people think of as an aspect warrior. My feeling is that the intent was that people were saying there were new physical aspect models. I could be convinced otherwise, but right now feel I made the right call.

Added the Frontline rumors.

Aww, we are famous!

In honor, went through and updated a bunch of Eldar and June stuff.

Even further proof this thread should be stickied.

Yeah the current theory is that we get more reads if it isn't stickies and I just bump a lot. Not sure I I buy it but whatever.

Have you considered going back to also listing the number of pending rumours? It could help a bit when looking for rumourmongers with lots of old rumours that haven't been updated in a while.

It was suuuuuch a pain in the butt to keep track of who had pending and how many. I am up for a new idea that doesn't have me counting how many thousand rumors someone has put out though.

By the way, that Earlybird person posted some new rumours,
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?372338-Lizardmen-rumours&p=6792180&viewfull=1#post6792180


So I dug a little and found these old ones:

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?367099-High-Elf-Rumours&p=6729766&viewfull=1#post6729766

In order they are
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE

FALSE
TRUE
TRUE

Turns out he's one of those people who 1) don't have a clue, and 2) is unlucky at guessing. Not having too much hope for that new rumour...

Updated.

This thread seems a good Idea, maybe even a sticky.

These were overlooked.


Lecai - Total rumors: (0 TRUE) / (0 FALSE) / (0 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)
Spoiler:

High Elf - March 2013

GENERAL SPECIAL RULES:
-NO ASF or Valor as we know it today. FALSE
-Elven Dexterity: units with this rule can use parry save when wielding any weapon, even if mounted (some units may use it against shooting or even if mounted). FALSE
-Special rule for rolling an additional dice on chase an remove the lowest result (or four dice removing two lowest dices to swift stride). FALSE
-IaC: more than ******** around, there are chances that the general may somehow help, dependin on region/power chosen it benefits some units. FALSE

SPECIAL RULES ON WEAPONRY:
-Elven Weapons: no penalties on two-handed or moving&shooting (there may exist extra bonus on elite units). (Translator says: in the beginning I thought of SW, but maybe maidens are also here). FALSE
-Ithilmar armor: no penalties when moving, +1AS on heavy armor (only on elite units). FALSE
-Dragon Armor: 3+ armor save against flaming attacks. FALSE
-Lion Pelt: Can also be used in CC. FALSE

MAGIC SPECIAL RULES:
-Elven Mages: +1 to dispel and can repeat channelings. FALSE
-High Magic: More powerful spells and representing the 8 lores of magic. It is said that there is one that gives life back to a dead character and other one specific against Chaos and "Bad" armies. They will be the most powerful sorcerers until Lizards get renewed after summer. Some rules will be shared with them. FALSE

SPECIFIC RULES ON UNITS:
-Martial Prowess: Elves fight and shoot with a extra rank (not specified, but this could be armywide). TRUE
-Spears and LSG: heavy armor and shield option. FALSE
-Archers: Light Armor. FALSE
-SHs: Heavy armor. Cheaper. PARTLY TRUE
-Ellyrian Reavers: Same. TRUE
-T-Chariot: Same, cheaper. TRUE
-SMs: Parry save against shooting, Swords of Hoeth, Paths fighting. PARTLY TRUE
-White Lions: Lumber Axes, Stubborn, Forest Stride. FALSE
-Phoenix Guard: Know their destiny (unbreakable), Magic Resistance, Ward Save. (maybe something about flaming attacks). FALSE
-SWs: Stalkers (?), Night Warriors (?). SPECULATION
-DPs: Caledor Proudness, all the rest remains the same. FALSE
-Lion Chariot: Same, cheaper. FALSE
-Flying Chariot: RBT on top of it, crew with elven weapons. PARTLY TRUE
-RBT: cheaper, better. PARTLY TRUE
-Dragons: Will of the Dragon (mix of 5ed. rule plus communion with rider that makes them share some rules). Super Dragon (Caledor Dragon?) may be wizard too. FALSE
-Phoenix: May be consecrated to Asuryan or another God (Phoenix alone or in a shrine?) PARTLY TRUE
-Fire Dragons (MC): same as dragon princes, beast mounted is better than eagle but worse than a hypogryphe. Fly, 1+AS. Rare. FALSE
-Maiden Guard: Avelorn Mirror (?), Deadly in CC (?) (Translator says: I think no one knows what they'd do. I thought they would not exist, thought this was a wishlist... Maybe it's just a unit upgrade after all...). FALSE
-Warrior-mage (different from dragon-mage): Hoeth disciplines, fighting magic (guy was convinced one of them would be Belannaer). FALSE

Rules Units:
- Fast Losing Asuryan, units receive points down (not known how or where specifically) and new rules (specifically not know unless some) (Whiterabbit) VAGUE

Units losing Speed of Asuryan will receive a points decrease, but it's unknown which units or how much of a decrease. They will also receive new rules to compensate for the loss, but it's not exactly known what the rules will be. FALSE

- Basic units increased to 4-5. Special units are more or less equally unique number and increase of 3-5. (Whiterabbit) PARTLY TRUE

No clue, but hopefully this doesn't mean a variable Point Increase for Core and Special. VAGUE

- Masters of the Sword: still have 2 A. Something missile, attack on the initiative with great weapon and combat forms (roads). - 1 hit, hit +1, Death Strike, Special Salvation. (It reminds me of what I did when I was blind Eltharion) (Whiterabbit) FALSE

Swordmasters have two Attacks, gain something against missile attacks, will hit at Initiative order with great weapons, and also have Mastery Paths: -1 to be Hit, +1 to Hit, Killing Blow, or (perhaps) an Increased Save. FALSE

- White Lions: an attack. Layer usable in melee, six monstrous enemies on impact wound. (Whiterabbit) FALSE

White Lions gain a Special Attack, perhaps an Impact Hit inflicting D6 Wounds. This would mesh well with the old idea of White Lions doing multiple wounds in 5th edition, as well as the Big Stabba impact hit weapon that Savage Orcs have. FALSE

- Apparently the rumored Phoenix kit: Altar / Yunque, could replace the loss of the Speed ??of Asuryan by the following rules based in Phoenix but humbler Mountrous Arcanum: SAP in radio, magic attacks, flaming attacks and a spell against demons . It is not known whether all at once or have to choose. (Whiterabbit) FALSE

The Phoenix functions like an Altar giving a benefit that compensates for losing Speed of Asuryan. Functions similarly to the Monstrous Arcanum rules but more simple. Unknown, Magic Attacks, Flaming Attacks, a Spell against Daemonons. It isn't clear if all these benefits are conferred at once or if you select one. FALSE

Not sure if these should count as rumours since this is all info from WD, but anyways.

- Flying chariot is called the Skycutter Chariot. Doesn't say it they are Special or Rare. TRUE

holy crud. That'll take me a minute to update. I'l try to get to it later today.

Okay, those are updated. Thanks!

A couple of Lecai's are still listed as Pending.

Got 'em.

Massive update and a little change, since Avian asked for it. If someone has no pending rumors they now have a tag at the end of their name. That way we can focus on checking the ones that still are pending.

[Avian likes this]

Yeah, I think that adds a little something.

Posted a few updates from the week I was gone.

Best Pone rumors on Company Masters
Alebelly on Dwarf AB
Faeit on Orks and GW Support

New Theory: Best Pone works for someone in the printing supply chain for White Dwarf. He has high accuracy and all his info seems to match things that come in WD but way early.

We probably shouldn't be trying to identify who/where all these rumor-reporters work...

I'm sorry, does me having a conversation about a rumor monger mean that we are not identifying where all the rumor mongers work?

We aren't adding a 'suspected occupation / real name' field to the tracker, I was just discussing.

That sounds like a reasonable assumption.
Is White Dwarf printed in China now though? Seems like all the early leaks have Chinese characters around the bottom, or is that just where the pictures manage to leak out?

That I am not sure of...

This just in! The Dark General got a rumor right!!!! Of course, he got something wrong right after that so it all balances...
