Imperial Guard will release in March 2014 with Steel Legion Plastic Kits and a new Superheavy Tank base on the Baneblade. Baneblade & all other Superheavies will be in the Codex.

(Yeah, obviously those last two contradict each other.)
Anonymous source on faeit212 wrote:GW is planning a "re-release" of the 3rd edition Codex Armageddon! That will be a huge release for 40K "more than half a year away" according to my friend. It will include 5 supplements: Warzone Armageddon (scenarios), Supplement: Salamanders, Supplement: Steel Legion, Supplement: Ghazghull's Horde and Supplement: Orc Kult of Speed. Everything will be released in one wave.

Each supplement will be accompanied by a very limited number of new releases:
Salamanders - Special Terminator Squad combining Thunder Hammer and Storm Bolters (no shields). Has access to a special weapon that's a "pimped out mix of Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta"
Steel Legion - Griffon/Salamander combi kit, new Finecast characters
Ghazghull's Horde - Nobs in Mega Armour (Plastic), Orkimedes (Finecast)
Speed Freaks - War Buggy, Wazdakka Gutsmek (Plastic)

Keep in mind that the following includes examples not meant as rumours (see last sentence):
Anonymous source on faeit212 wrote:There's merit to your rumor. However to poke some holes:

The Salamanders squad is for the pre-heresy book coming christmas. They're modified tartaros pattern terminators. Kind of like ornate "artificer" versions.

Imperial Guards will have access to all their tanks in plastic with the release of their new codex.

Nobz in Mega Armor and new War Buggies and Traks are getting new models with their new codex also.

Supplements will not be providing new model kits until after all of the 6th edition codexes are up to date. Furthermore, if a new unit is introduced, it will be available to the core codex as well.

Example 1) An update of an old kit that is the center of the supplement:a new khorne berserker kit alongside a World Eater's supplement. This kit, while a targeted release, is still available to any Chaos Player.
Example 2) If it introduces an entirely new unit that has previously never had rules, it would specifically say that it's an XYZ option for the parent dex: A new breed of tyranid, with some cool rules in a Hive Fleet supplement. While it may be a troops choice for the supplement army, it is also a Fast Attack (or something) choice for the parent codex.


The Supplements will often introduce new ways to configure units. Either with different wargear, size of squad, force organization position, dedicated transport options, or cool army rules

Example: Supplement: "Hammer of Dorn," not simply Supplement: "Imperial Fists," this supplement could hark back towards the 4th edition Space Marine Codex. Fluff wise this book would talk about Lysander's specific fleet and methodology. Rules wise it would make Assault Terminators Elites, and Shooting Termiantors Heavy Support, while making you roll once for all terminators to enter from deep strike, and would do so with a reduced scatter. This would create a very specialized force, one that would be illegal normally (up to 6 terminator squads), alongside some unique rules (deep strike at once, reduced scatter), and would probably inspire some new armies to be made centered around it, but it's still not giving Imperial Fist only models that make people feel pigeon holed into a specific codex or colour scheme, etc.

The idea here is that people shouldn't feel like they have to get a supplement. Anything that's in a supplement, they have access to (model wise). No one is left out.

I hope that makes sense, it was a bit of a rant.

P.S. while new khorne berserkers are on the menu to be reviewed, there's no new tyranid supplement unit, or a supplement for "Hammer of Dorn," those were just to illustrate my point.

Interesting stuff, superheavies in the Guard Codex seems unlikely however...

Don't really buy these rumors.
Nids in Nov with Hive guard in plastic, OK, possible.

Hobbit in December with holiday stuff? Sure.

January as Orks? Don't see it. That would stack 40K releases with no fantasy in between, That and 2 xenos stacked followed by 2 Imperium stacked seems odd. Plastic Kommandoes seems plausable, but plasticwarboss kit would mean a return to multi-part plastic HQs. And other kits are needed/would sell more- Meganobz, Buggies/Trakks, potentially Squiggoth as a big MC, Deffkoptas.

IG with Steel Legion focus? Why do 3 plastic kits (I would assume infantry, command, heavy weapon box) for a new regiment and a new superheavy when there are still a number of kits that need plastic models period?- Hydra, Griffon, Medusa, Colossus. And a new superheavy on the Baneblade chassis? Only weapon fits left are the Stormsword with plasma blastgun and potentially inferno blastgun. And why add a new kit when they just merged the baneblade and shodowsword kit? And Baneblades and variants in the codex? Will they add Superheavy rules for it in the codex as well? And what about the 10" main gun? Or the D Weapon on the Shadowsword. And what slot(s) would it take up?

The "rerelease of Armageddon" is also odd, as 4 supplements at once, and a warzone that is already contained in the Apoc rulebook.

Only rumor I put weight on is the last one posted. And why won't Faeit give some sort of differentiating pseudonyms to the various anonymous sources so we can tell the real posters from the junk?

Orks in January would be perfect! I think it's a bit far-fetched though. Nice to see Bretonnia finally showing up on the radar too.

A new plastic regiment for Guard would be nice, but I can't see it happeneing until they run out completely of kits to make. 6th edition codices tend to have 4-5 plastic kits, and that alone would eat up over half. They also are adamant about getting everything released in some form, and Guard have more than enough missing to release.

IG need new plastics dreadfully though. Their proportions are pretty bad. I wish they'd make Mordians, but we all know that would never happen.

Ever since the Wraithknight came out, I've been expecting the IG codex to have the Baneblade in it. Knights are already Epic units, the Baneblade isn't much of a stretch after that, and, in all honesty, as long as it doesn't have D weapons, a 525pt tank with a big blast is hardly overpowered at most normal play levels (yeah, the tank is scary, but at 500something points good luck fitting much else in if you want more than one, in which case you're better off just taking 3 LRBT's anyway). I'd rather this not be true, the Baneblade has long been the archetypal IG "Apocalypse" unit, but it would surprise me more at this point if the tank were not in the codex than if it were.

Well, with the Warzones etc, it looks like GW have at least a thought of a plan to support Apocalypse beyond gaking out the book, going "buy it now!" and walking away.

So it stands to reason that a plastic Superheavy doesn't need to feature in the codex to get released, especially as all signs point to the fact that GW are now a one trick pony in essence, and a big push towards Apoc would certainly be one way to try and keep people spending.

Agreed, but neither of those guys have said anything in a fair few months with regard to releases to my knowledge. I believe it has been known for GW to move release dates around, so while I would still trust H+H primarily, there's room for doubt in this instance.

Unless either one is lurking and fancies dropping a hint?

It's the inclusion of the Bretonnians that make me suspicious of these rumors. If they're released before 2015, I'll be stunned and amazed.

Really? I was dubious as soon as I read 'plastic steel legion'. Every upcoming Guard release says there's going to be new plastic infantry, generally Greatcoat. This time it's Greatcoat with Gasmasks. It never happens.

Don't believe because of the Bretonnians. From an associate who talked with upper management at the GW Memphis office, Bretonnians and Wood Elves are not currently being worked on or played in the design studios. The source added though that it was 3 months since he was in the UK and interacting with the studio. They may have been in preliminary development and not seeing any/little test play yet. They also stated it was a two year cycle from a designer picking up an army to it being released.

And just to give you an idea, the design studio still works on the "only choosing armies that interest them" principal.

Yes, obviously. This is the throw everything against the wall so that something is bound to stick approach to posting release rumors. If one says enough things are to be released in a given month one of them will surely turn out to be correct. It seems we're going to have to wait for more leaks from reliable sources before being able to count on any of these release predictions.

Which is really awesome when you're a customer wanting to get into one of GW's games and just happen to pick one of the dozens of armies they produce that no one in the studio cares about anymore. Especially when they're all equally expensive to play.

Oh, I think it could happen eventually. But I'm skeptical about it during a phase characterized by a limited number of new boxes at release, and almost no new boxes for anything with an existing plastic kit. Wouldn't Steel Legion require at least three new kits on its own...infantry box, heavy weapons box, command box? You'd think GW would rather focus on the missing vehicles and Finecast conversions for some of the elites, etc. Heck, have they recut the Catachan kits yet? That would seem to be a higher priority too.

Also, most reliable signs have pointed to Brets being farther away. Natfka probably has some good sources, but it's hard to know which rumors come from the good ones. Note that I don't have a problem with him just posting rumors as he receives them. One of the things that drove me crazy about Warseer was its obsession with "true rumors." Which basically means they ignore or put down anything that doesn't come from the same handful of people, because how do you know?

I would think they would make a 'medium-large' tank between Russ and Baneblade size for regular 40k. Maybe 4 or 5 Hull points, good armour, Land Raider+ points value.

GW generally don't put existing models from Apoc or FW into their codices, though the IG codex was the exception.

That, or an actual Knight Titan (which the Wraithknight is in the class of).

If one of the 'big' kits is going from Apoc to a normal Codex unit, I would probably guess the Stompa rather than the Baneblade, especially as the Baneblade kit now has the parts for the D-Weapon loadouts.

Right. Someone had posted in a thread that I'm forgetting that they are revising Fantasy so quickly because 8th has been regarded as a major failure.

How is it 'so quickly'? Recent history is every 4 years. 8th edition was released in July 2010. That's no rush because of a failed edition; that's standard practice at this point.

New plastic IG does have one thing going for it.

Adding plastic to current range? (Karskin for example) People buy what? A box or two? Maybe?
New troops box? LOTS more sales. Even people already owning armies would be tempted to redo their entire force in modern tooled plastics. Sales sales sales.

Ahem...

Spoiler:
From Big Red's Tracker:
Releases - Oct 2011
Sisters in WD Summer 2011 TRUE

From Tastytaste's tracker:
Sisters - June 2011
Allies gone TRUE
Inquisition gone TRUE
Faith streamlined TRUE
USRs updated to 5th TRUE
Cheaper Unit costs TRUE
It is replaced with every unit has its own unit specific act of faith to call upon. TRUE
So for instance Repentia Act of Faith allows them to always land an attack even if they are killed before they can swing. TRUE
They are little bonuses like re-rolling to wound and hit, no USRs. FALSE
Now this if fine and dandy if you just pop a faith point and bam! power goes off, but not so fast. Acts of Faith require that you roll 5+ to activate . TRUE
In addition every unit that can get faith generates 1d6 faith points per turn. FALSE
This also means that a new faith pool is generated each turn with no storing of past faith. TRUE
As well faith can be activated in multiple phases of the game, so for instance you can re-roll to hit in your shooting phase or in your assault phase. TRUE
All Faith generating units get +6 invul save TRUE
All units that can get transports get Immolators or Rhinos TRUE
Assassins gone (Death Cult still in) TRUE
Wargear with the same names as GK wargear stay and get changed over. (e.g. Psybolt Ammo) TRUE
Karamazov gone TRUE
Priests in, pretty much same as before. TRUE
No change to the general Bolter, Melta, Flame concept of the Sisters TRUE
Sisters have about 5 HQ choices including Special Characters TRUE
St. Celestine: Same price as a Grand Master you get 2+/+4 saves, WS/BS 7 Jump Pack, Fleet, Power Weapons always wounds on 4+ Has the power to come back like GK Thawn if killed. TRUE
Confessor: Takes the slot of the old Inquisitors. Cheap HQ (Warboss). Can create a henchman band using most of the henchman found in the GK codex. What makes the Confessor extra deadly is the ability for it to re-roll hits and wounds for her and the squad. This is the translation of the rumor matrix. So think for one second about her and the Death Cult together? TRUE
Repentia: Cheaper close to SM cost. FNP, Rage, Fearless, 6+ invul, no transports TRUE
Battle Sister Squad: Cheaper 10-20 unit size (no combat squads), but has access to Immolators which begs the question… Immolators either get increased transport capacity or Sisters break the rules concerning model count and buying transports. Multiple acts of faith. TRUE
Exocists: Pretty much same as before. TRUE


Sisters 2 - June 2011
What is not in the Codex
Repressors TRUE
Arbites TRUE
The Units (more information than others)
Canoness: Here is my special shout out to the Canoness: you are terrible. I mean grossly underpowered. Now this is going to sound like a cop-op, but I am not going into details because my hope is that she will be changed before release. It just sounds and looks like she is an unfinished product. She gets her own retinue that cannot do anything; she starts out cheap, but her upgrades are expensive and lame when you compare to everything else. So here is hoping to GW getting her fixed. TRUE
Repentia: Forgot to mention they have fleet TRUE
Celastians: Cheaper than a Marine, but not really anything going for them (that I know of)… extra attack. Re-roll hits for act of faith TRUE
Sister Battle Squad: Can still get a Heavy Flamer TRUE
Shraphim: They are pretty amazing. Cheaper than a Space Marine you get a Jump Packing, Hit and Running, and an act of faith that has them re-rolling wounds. You can also upgrade them to run with double hand flamers and melta pistols. They act both as an extra close combat weapon and become assault 2 instead of being twin-linked. So that means Assault 2 melta weapons. TRUE
Dominion Squads: Still get 4 special weapons. Act of Faith twin-linked. TRUE
Retributor Squads: Pretty fantastic. CHEAP! Talking under Long Fang cheap to fully kit out. Expect the return of the Heavy Bolter with these. Act of Faith is Rending. TRUE
Penitent Engines: Again fantastic. Same statline (Walker). No Scout or Infiltrate. Cheaper and can be a squadron aka 9 Engines. They still get the 1D6 attacks, but any wounds generate additional attacks (don’t know if they work like Blood Talons). 6+ Invul (don’t know if they generate faith)" TRUE

Strange new tanks for the imperial guard. I was hoping for the griffon, medusa etc. The tanks that are in the codex but not in plastic. Just the griffon and the odd choice of a salamander is a bit out of left field. Perhaps the salamander is supposed to be the turretless tank?

Steellegion will become a redesign, the models will wear "M35 Stahlhelms". There will be Boxes with Soldiers, Command and Heavy Weapons. The Turretless Tank Rumour means a Thunderer / Destroyer Kit. There will be vanilla Strom troopers too.

Imperial Guard & Orks could switch they release dates of January / March.

Clearly, as such a release would be extremely profitable, and we all know GW does not, in fact, like money.

Instead I wholly expect DreadSentinel, Finecast Stormtroopers and re-desined Catachans with more muscles.

Nobz in Mega Armor and new War Buggies and Traks are getting new models with their new codex also.



Supplements will not be providing new model kits until after all of the 6th edition codexes are up to date. Furthermore, if a new unit is introduced, it will be available to the core codex as well.

The Supplements will often introduce new ways to configure units. Either with different wargear, size of squad, force organization position, dedicated transport options, or cool army rules

The idea here is that people shouldn't feel like they have to get a supplement. Anything that's in a supplement, they have access to (model wise). No one is left out.



Thats the part of this set of rumors I can believe.
All Units in codices. Different configs and a few pieces of wargear in supplements makes sense. GW sells you "add-ons" ...

Does anyone think GW would run a store without the books to field the minis they plan to sell you? Can't see them dedicating lots of shelf space to supplements. So supplements stay direct only...yes?

Dark Eldar Q1 2015 and Necrons Q2 2015

Plastic Grotesque Kit, and a combined Incubi/new aspect kit.

Necrons get plastic flayed ones, and Royal Court kit.

For a few players, but when troops, command squads, and heavy weapons are the same, Cadians, Catachans, and a new regiment would be effectively interchangeable in sales. If you buy Cadians, you don't need Catachan or Steel Legion models.

And 3 kits is a lot for a release. What else could those 3 kits get us besides a third version of basic troops? Stormtroopers/Carapace vets/kasrkin. Griffon/Salamander. Hydra. Basilisk/Medusa/Colossus. Roughriders. Ogryn.

That said, if they do Steel legion, they could really boost sales by including female guard on the sprue.

The issue is it doesn't fit 6th edition release methods, which tend to be releasing any missing kits from 5th edition, moving a unit or two to plastic, and adding a couple of new units (usually a flyer and/or an oval base walker). Three new basic infantry kits isn't something we've seen since the Dark Eldar/Necron/Grey Knights releases in 5th, and those were complete line overhauls. Guard also still have a decent amount of stuff that needs releasing to fill up a 6th edition codex release wave.

The one thing that lends credence to the rumour is that the Guard infantry are, quite frankly, awful models. Cadians are passable, but Catachans are absolutely horrid. Catachans are also some of the oldest plastixs still in production, are they not? GW did re-release the Tactical kit, redone and spiffy (or rather will), that leaves some room for old kits to theoretically get updated. They may opt to remove the Catachans if the molds are near the end of their life, and make something completely new instead. Guard has had a few different aesthetics, they're nowhere near as fixed as other factions.

I don't think it's probable, or even likely, but it is possible. More likely a second wave once the other codexes are done, however, as Guard is, as you say, lacking a lot of their listed models, probably more than any other at present save perhaps Orks. They certainly have the most metal after Sisters still. A lot will need replacing over the next while.

I definitely understand your points about releases and established players not needing new models. In fact, you guys are also probably right. I was just thinking no matter how many cool new tanks, special characters, or elite units get kits, they are still Catachan or Cadian. I think a new line would create more interest. You have people willing to pay ridiculous sums for the old Mordians, Praetorians, Tallarn, Valhallan, on eBay. I know I am one of them.

Especially praetorians. I can't explain it.

Tactical marines are old (1998 with a recut in 2004) and getting replaced, but are a core choice for the most popular faction that can also be used by 2 other books, potentially by 2 more at least as parts.
Catachans are a single unit for a single army, and if they withdrew them and replaced them, you would have a weird mess with the much newer Catachan HW team and essentially brand new Catachan command squad being out of place without a troop box.
A guard regiment in plastic now is basically made up of 3 linked plastic kits. You end up with odd results if you try to remove one kit of the three, and honestly there are far more things that need new or replaced kits before Catachans.

IG Codex. It would be interesting to see them get the Space Marine Treatment. Characters and rules being Army Dependent.
Catachan Vets get +1WS while Cadian Vets get +1BS. Cadians get Move Through Cover while Catachans get Stealth.
Only a Catachan Army can take Harker, Marbo, etc, while Cadians get Creed, Pask, Bastonne, etc.
If you take the Unique HQs (Straken, Al'Rahem, Yarrick, etc) then you are tied to specific USRs for your Army and can't take any of the Special Sgt characters.
No more Creed 24" orders with Yarrick's Ld10 bubble.
IG Supplements forthcoming with unique characters and units to create themed IG armies from those SCs.
Now is we can only get some effen models for our Dex choices.

I am really excited about the possibility of plastic Steel Legion. While I have my doubts (Reduce sales of DKOK on FW) the time table does make sense.

A Armageddon video game is set to come out Q1 of 2014. Also the Steel Legion metal range more or less disappeared from the GW website. (It is still possible to find via searching through alternative means)

While extremely exciting, I just spent like $400.00 on the metal range under the impression they would be gone forever. If the new mini's look amazing I will Time will tell I guess.

Trust in your doubts. 3 plastic kits would eat massively into the sprue budget which already needs to cover a number of units without GW models so far.

And finding the ASL on the GW site is easy, go to IG _> troops.

Also in defense of plastic Steel Legion is that Guard already have a plastic flyer and super heavy. The remaining tanks could easily be done in combined sprues for the already existing hulls.

What remains unplasticed is practically ignorable. stormtroopers are outclassed by vets. Ogryns, ratings and rough riders are all casual at best. Unless they massively fix the weak units in the codex, new troops would generate more sales then anything. Guard armies need s lot of troops after all.

I think GW missed an opportunity when doing Ogre Kingdoms, some good sculpting and sprues could've had dual use molds for an Ogryn box.

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
there are no Catachans in sight, the Codex will Focus Armageddone and Cadia. The Ork Codex will Focus Armageddon and the Relationship to the Imperium of Mankind.

I think Goffs & Blood Axes will become the first Suppliments.
Codex Orks comes with a Blood Axes Suppliment.
The suppliment allowed Kommadoz as Troop-Choice und Alliance with Imperial Guard.

If by "interesting" you mean "an absolutely horrifying idea that GW should never, ever, ever try", then yes I agree with you. If people want GW to take away our ability to counts-as, then they damn well better make generic HQs worth taking and give generic armies a way to change things up in the same way as the named regiments, because otherwise they're just doing the same thing they have with Marines - stunting people's creativity and options.

Plastic Steel Legion?



Next GW releases according to faeit212 @ 2013/08/20 19:23:45


Post by: MajorStoffer


Don't get me wrong, if there were plastic steel legion, i'd replace all my Cadians in a heartbeat (I've got two squads of the metal ones, but they're kind of a pain in the arse), but there's too many reasons for GW to not do them.

They made the decision not to axe them with the rest of the specialist/collector stuff (along with Cypher and a few other doo-dads), so if they're keeping the metals around for the time being, the only change-over we'd see is Finecast, with all the attendant horror and price jump. Furthermore, they bear a strong aesthetic similarity to the Death Korps, which is one of FW's best selling products (the half a platoon to my left stands as testimony to that). GW is irrationlly paranoid at taking sales away from their own different branches, and while plastic overcoat/gasmask guys are what Guard players have been asking for since the Goodwin sketches appeared back in the 90s, GW doesn't want to kill their subsidiary's chief money maker, especially when FW and BL are currently the divisions driving growth in the company.

I suspect we'll see a new plastic Guard variant after the codexes have been updated, whether that be re-done Catachans or Cadians I couldn't say, but they're old designs which haven't aged well, and there's plenty of aesthetic niches with the Guard that haven't been filled. It's just not sensical to believe that'll happen with the main release when Stormtroopers, Ratlings, Ogryn, Rough Riders, Medusae, Bombards, Griffons, Hydras, Veterans and Penal Legion all still lack models. Precedent says we should expect a plastic Stormtrooper/veteran dual kit, an artillery multi-kit (basilisk remains unavailable for order for independent retailers), Hydra, and then the finecast treatment for the other metals (regimental advisers, ratlings, ogryn, standard commissars), with a plastic character or two, likely a commissar and captain.

Guard need a bit more done with them than most, especially given the prevalence of metal in the line still, so troop re-dos, while doubtlessly needed, are not the priority as of yet, when just getting the army "modernized" in basic kit production will already make it a larger-than-average release.

This thread begs the question: Would current FW sales of any of their models or lines be more than the sales of that model in plastic?

If GW loves money above all else, eventually you would sell what people want in plastic. FW has the freedom to do what they choose. Take one model or line away (especially an older one) and they can move onto something else.

PS
And honestly the whole DKoK argument is invalid before you even get your mouth open. If that was the case, GW would have stopped selling the metal ASL models a long time ago to force more sales towards FW.

Their are plenty of great coat, gas masked, Germanesque aftermarket models that sell for much less than a standard Cadian 10 man box.
If GW releases Steel Legion WITHOUT any troop models to back it up, they will get eaten alive by the aftermarket folks.
And after the ChapterHouse ruling They won't have much of a leg to stand on in regards to telling a company to stop producing their already esablished models because of a Codex they just released.
By the time GW gets their heads out of their butts and puts out a troop model, the market will be saturated and except for a few character models no one wil be paying GWs price.

I can see steel legion getting released to resurect the old Armored Company Armies, only using gray painted Cadians as their trooper models.

It's been a rumor for a while now, and the response I've seen has been "Oh no! Ward! He's going to murder our Grots and amazing kans!" and "Hey, Orks are totally gruesome and awesome, maybe Ward's good for Orks!" So hopefully it's in between those.

I'll go on record now, the only way you'll ever see me playing Fantasy is if they pull a "Dark Eldar" on the Brettonian and Wood Elf ranges.

Not to say there aren't some great models in the range already, but we're talking a total, eye wateringly beautiful overhaul of the whole ranges.

Fingers crossed, but I don't hold out much hope, despite the potential I think are in both armies.

It's orks, so any over the top fluff fits right in. Not that that will stop the Ward haters from complaining.
And I'm happier about Vetock doing Guard, if true. Tau were very well done, with strong elements, nothing completely useless (though some things are situational) and rather good internal balance.

And is much more playable than the WE book. Currently a friend of mine is dominating a local 1000pt fantasy tournament, that includes tabling almost every one of the newest fantasy books. Just because the bret book is older, doesn't mean it's worse, some of the best untis for brets are undercosted (Trebouchets) meanwhile wood elves are paying 12 points per model for basic core choices.

Dark Elf Rumors - July 2013
Look for many new Dark Elf models on launch, focusing on those "that needed it" *hint, hint*

I would assume "that need it" means:
Executioners PENDING
Black Guard PENDING
Witch Elves PENDING
Cauldron of Blood PENDING
Chariot PENDING
Warriors/Crossbowmen PENDING

And I saved the best for last:
Morathi PENDING

Spoiler:
Dark Elf Rumors - July 2013
Sure I can contribute, Exexutioner and Black Guard share same kit, with black guards having alternate caped back piece, head, and halberd. PENDING
The weapons are almost interchangeable without any work done no matter what torso you use for the body yes even if 2 handed. PENDING

My speculation is there will be no new manticore as chaos already received a new plastic one during storm of chaos. SPECULATION

Lastly regarding Cauldron of Blood. It is a hybrid kit with old witch Elf element for 1 build. While the new variation is like Empire War Altar. PENDING
It has a special aura similar to EOTG called ??? blades that is like a whirl wind of magic blades that damage surrounding enemies emitted by khain's hatred. PENDING


Zeipherer says:
Spoiler:

Dark Elf Rumors - July 2013
Dark Elves are due in October 2013, it is said be a complete new book and not just a wave PENDING
New elite infantry kit, possibly witch elves, executioners or black guards.PENDING
(If new witch elves, there will most definitely be a new Cauldron of Blood piece) PENDING

Rumors I've heard:
New large monster type, probably 150x100 base type. Though could be anything, a kit of options to build a hydra, manticore or other monster types.PENDING
Plastic harpy kit with two options, neither of which have been specified except it is harpy related. PENDING

Uh... what? They did give Wood Elves and Bretonnia the "Dark Eldar" treatment, but it was before the Dark Eldar even got it.

Every model the WE have except for the Dragon and the eagles (I think) were brand new when they had their last release. Also, if you don't like how WE look now, then I think you should just never plan on playing them.

Same thing for Bretonnia. Other than a few characters and the yeomen, everything was new for their previous release.

I'd say there's no way in Hell Pit that GW gives Bretonnia and Wood Elves the "Dark Eldar" treatment AGAIN. I think you can safely uncross your figures and give up all hope.

Settle down there sport, don't get so excited.

Firstly, I don't play, as one could infer from my opening statement, so I'm not intimately acquainted with the model ranges, only that I've seen some I like, and some I don't.

Secondly, aren't both of the ranges now approaching the age DE were when they got their massive overhaul? Irrespective of whether they were new when the last update occurred, a lot of the models are still quite old.

But I do agree, I'm not expecting much, as the attitude seems to be "release new, old will do" when it comes to updates these days (new Marine release being somewhat of an exception) I just think its a shame that the two factions that I feel could be amongst the most spectacular that GW make, are just the usual mix of good bad and ugly.

Fair enough. Sorry if I came off aggressively, I think it came out worse than I intended.

It just really surprised me because I remember when those ranges came out, the response was mostly very positive and I think they are two of GWs better ranges still (other than a few stinkers, like treekin/treeman and some didn't like how the new Bretonnian footmen look).

Considering that they got so many updates last time, I think they are extremely unlikely to get them again. GW seems to be in money saving mode. I think the most you can hope for is a big monster and some sort of dual unit kit... which I doubt will entice you into playing.

I agree also as the Bretonnians and Wood elves both have the full range and don't require any "old" models to b released only re-released and both have reasonably small ranges that have been out a while i can see GW pushing new stuff MORE?!?

No problem, I just wish the WE had more of this

But less of this


Or even some of this (concept art, but every sculpt so far has been really faithful)


But that just doesn't seem to be the direction that GW are going, especially with the .fantasy releases.

Technically there isn't that problem with Chaos Daemons either, because they haven't done a proper FAQ update this year. That doesn't mean there won't be pages of it when it does arrive!

But I've not heard many Tau players, locally or here, complaining over much. There is that daft thing where the bomber technically can't ever fire a bomb isn't there? But nothing like a Flaming Chariot that needs to break the rules in order to work like it is apparently meant to.

Ok, I'll explain:

Ward wrote two books in WHFB during 7th edition that were released quite close to each other: Orcs and Goblins and Daemons of Chaos.

The Orcs and Goblins codex was the weakest in the game at the time, and most of the fluff was copy-pasted from older books. He said in an interview that Orcs didn't really interest hum.

Daemons however, he was interested in and the book was so overpowered it single-handedly broke the entire edition.

They do that, but one author still has creative control over it. For example, Ward had input into Codex Eldar and came up with the Battle Focus rule, but it was still Kellys book.

Even in research/engineering papers you only name the 1-4 lead people (while usually anyone beyond the second is ignored anyways), even if you had a team of 100 people working on the result. If you put 100 names on it, no one would care about any of them, just like no one reads all the credits rolling at the end of a movie/game.

B: for over a year I have been seeing various photos of greens, and CAD print outs - so not just concept sketches - for imperial models that are familiar to the inquisition books. I have seen custodes-style models, arco-flaggelants, and ogryn-sized servitors (greens) - as well as a pretty big tank that looks like a cross between a land raider and a leman russ, in the style of the exorcist (CAD).

it seems to have become common knowledge in circles that A) the studio has definite plans for all this, and that B) there will be a 'new' race army book at some point at the end of this edition, similar to Dark Eldar.

'like Dark Eldar' I simply meant that, from the business's perspective, Dark Eldar were a new race when they got their latest codex and models. So 'new race' doesn't necessarily mean something like Tau in 2001, and I'm fully expecting it to be an imperial faction.

A and B may be unrelated. But, based on this, I am guessing that either that this is where sisters of battle will end up, or that their relaunch will be refocused on the weirder parts of the Imperium. I just want to make it clear though, I've never seen a new sisters of battle sculpt

Admech is the biggest unrealized concept they have, but I'm skeptical about them becoming a regular 40K codex army. FW is dabbling in it now, which would make you think GW proper wasn't planning anything. Then again, FW has been concentrating on robots, etc. and haven't produced any skitarii or praetorians. So who knows?

A and B may be unrelated. But, based on this, I am guessing that either that this is where sisters of battle will end up, or that their relaunch will be refocused on the weirder parts of the Imperium. I just want to make it clear though, I've never seen a new sisters of battle sculpt


Re-emergence of Codex: Witch Hunters?

Yeah, that all sounds like stuff that would be in the Inquisition box rather than a whole new faction. Not that I wouldn't mind some Mechanicus or some Custodes.

If this Steel Legion rumor turns out to be true, maybe that new tank they mentioned isn't actually a Baneblade, but rather this Sicarius sounding tank. I'd be fine with that. The Guard really need some proper MBTs that aren't ugly as hell.

Perhaps GW will release a fun Inquisator skirmish game and then one year later have a codex Ecclesiarchy (or some such) that the minis can be used with. We can dream can't we?

Oh, I would be so happy if these steel legion rumours are true. I would start an army of them in a heartbeat.

Careful, GW view your dreams as a form of copyright infringement.

HA! The joke's on you. It IS Bloodbowl. On ships. Flying through space. With Inquisitors.

I find funny that after waiting for IG plastics that were not the old cadian/catachan for years, now that I'm set for my IG with 3rd party figures GW might realease plastic Steel Legion.

I know it's just wishlisting but why now GW?
