40k in order:
Tyranids (done)
Imperial Guard
Orks
Space Wolves
Grey knights
Blood Angels

(With new white dwarf format, dark eldar amd necroms expected to)

Fantasy in order:
Dwarfs
Wood Elves
Bretonnia
Beastmen

The hobbit will also have most kits from the desolation of smaug, and in There and back again kits will be released.

40k will also have an expansion released (planet strike), and 40k fortifications for indepent armies, starting with aegis defense lines.

Also the GW site will changed allow the purchase of forgeworld products from online which can also be done in stores. The new site will also feature more hobby tips ans paint schemes. Games Workshop are changing their current look and will have their site, magazinws and stores looking different by the end of the year.

Is this stuff you've heard locally, or collected elsewhere, out of interest?

That sounds really busy, taking the info at face value, although it would be kinda where I thought they might be heading. Someone at GW must have picked up on the sales boosts new releases are getting them, the limited book releases would tie into it as well.

The web redesign rumour has been floating around for a while, but I would like to see if it removes the crazy FW P&P charge. Could see me getting more if it does.

"Can't say why I know this" is not a credible source.

Orks are integral to the setting. They've been around since the beginning, and it makes no sense for GW to drop them.

Must have interpreted it another way.

Right, but again:
You don't out your sources when dealing with GW. They are very...zealous when it comes to plugging leaks.

If this is right this year just got expensive.

Tyranids codex ordered just about to start a force.
Imerial Guard.....check
Space Wolves...check
Orks.....check

Bretonnia

Nothing else matters. Hope this is true.

This is all provided by independant sources who I cant just reveal, as most people who announce rumours and leaks involving GW also dont reveal their sources.

Sarcasm on the Internets is lost.

I am super pumped for dwarfs, my high elves are getting a little stale, finally getting my plastic ironbreakers and hammerers.

I havent had anything on an update for 6th edition. Honestly I dont see GW being so stupid to release newer versions of 40k rules just two years after 6th edition.

OK, but first it was "an independent source who I trust", and now it's "provided by independent sources", so right there, that's a pretty strange thing to say.

So basicly, they are going for a new corporate design or something? If the White Dwarf will be replaced/changed, new site and new store stuff.
So it might be a whole lot of boohooing over nothing much? Well appart from the White Dwarf stuff. I hope it will become something like the White Dwarf of old.

Yes from what I have been told, they are changing their look and stores will also change how they are run.

Fair enough. It is very possible that you have the same source as him or got to the same information independently. Really, it doesn't matter though. The proof is in the rumors, so to speak.

It's sad that the people who make up rumors don't even bother making up rumors about Sisters anymore.

Well, 'plastic sisters' is up there with 'plastic thunderhawk' for complete BS level in a rumor post.

And we did just get a book, so there is that. Not that I'm still not hoping for a real, honest-to-goodness hardcover. But we haven't had a real codex since 2nd, so I never get my hopes up too far.

I really don't see Necrons going before Orks. Matter of fact, Necrons will most likely be last, as their codex is really 6th ed (2 Flyers and a Chariot).

I don't think they mean it invalidates the AS codex. More than likely it is about availability that makes it not as accessible. I really would prefer a paper codex so as long as it is digital I really don't have a new codex (at least until it is printed). However if someone showed up for a game using the digital codex on a ipad, I wouldn't have any qualms with it. No invalidation at all.

Yeah it's perfectly valid. And every other army gets a physical book accompanied by models.

I think it's bull what they've done with the Sister of Battle codex. Print the damn thing already.

 Manchu wrote:

You're not wrong, Manchu, but this is the same state of affairs that we are always in. So for us, a digidex is business as usual.

To be fair, we haven't had a full printed codex since 2nd edition. If you count C:WH, then it's been 10 years since we had a new printed book (I don't really count that as a full SOB dex, but it does count as a dex).

I'd say that it's very accessible. Moreso than a physical book, even, since you don't have to go anywhere or wait for it to come in the post to acquire it. But it is less visible for not being in GW shops, so new players might not know about it at first.

 kronk wrote:

Apparently Cruddace said that they were probably going to do a physical release if it sold well, so hopefully that'll happen at some point. Because it did indeed sell well.

More less accessible due to personal preference then. I know i am a loser for saying it, but i prefer physical books. My buddies give me a hard time for sticking to physical game discs as well.

I prefer physical books for play and pdfs / digital for research (since I can use them at work). You're not a loser or weird for preferring physical. Heck, the first thing I did with the digidex is figure out how to print it.

As for physical game discs, I hate those.

For sure. In your defense I don't think i was very clear originally though. Digital codexes are way more accessible. My preference just gets in the way. I don't think i am unreasonable either. Who else loves a worn book that with just a flip of the pages you can turn to the page you were looking for? I just cant go through a digital codex like that. Of course when siri can take a voice command "termagant page now!" And can bring it up in a milla section then maybe i will bend...after all she already calls me master....

 pretre wrote:

Sure it does. If we define army by what meets the FOC requirements, all we need is a Genestealer HQ option. That's the only sense in which "the Inquisistion" is an army.

Except the Inquisition exists and allows you to field an army using the rules in the Inquisition Codex. (They get their own FOC and can meet normal FOC with Coteaz anyways.)

The Genestealer book doesn't exist and doesn't allow you to field a Genestealer cult army. Even if there was one HQ choice in the Tyranid book for them, it still wouldn't be a Genestealer cult army.

 pretre wrote:
Except the Inquisition exists

Oh yeah I totally forgot that exists. Because there was no book or model releases.

Also, you can have a genestealer cult army made of nothing but genestealers. It's just the earliest or latest stages of the cult.

Which reminds me, rumors in OP say nothing about wave releases. People who make up rumors should at least try to account for wave releases.

I thought we were done with Wave releases?

You can always edit it down and print it off, though I've heard that that's still a bit of a pain.

When Pretre said that the Sisters just got a book, your response appeared to me like it was implying that the update was somehow invalid for being digital. But if that's all you meant, then okay. Nobody is disagreeing with that.

Nah, it's obviously "valid" as rules. But we all know what a "real" release is like.

I am still not discounting this rumor along with the one regarding the platic lord of war for nids.

Well no other supplement or campaign book saw a model release, right?

Would be a good strategy, though.

Really? You're holding out hope for a Plastic Harridan? Yikes.

Don't lecture me! We're both holding out for plastic Soritas!

So much i could quote there with you all...

But yeah...holding out for plastic sistas, thunderhawk, harridan, wazdakka, and a lot more.

The only thing that has me being otimistic about the harridan though is the khornemower, necron tesseract vault, and escalation. One would only hope that they would "escalate" this more by making thunderhawk and harridan...

I think a Dominatrix stirs my blood more than a Harridan.. although saying that I'm optimistically terrified about the redesign.

True, if they made all that horse gak why not a plastic Harridan, too?

That's exactly why there will never be a model called a Dominatrix.. they may redesign it, but that name won't stay and it's because people call it a "she" when it's a Tyranid! That kind of association is why that name is an awful name heh. GW has serious issues with nipples let alone a name ascribed to those working in the bdsm/sex industry.

The time of the Dwarves is now!!!

Also I have a feeling like Bretts are done for. I dont like it but, it has been a decade with no word of a new book, very few viable tactics, and dwindling supply of model, I think sadly their time has come.

Aye to be fair I'd dig a plastic Harridan, Aura owned the FW one back in the day but we sold it when we moved due to space. We never saw it together sadly, but damn the wings where impressive.

According to a rumour just posted on Natfka, Brets are either getting squared or rolled into a kingdom's of men army book. http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/01/bretonnians-getting-rolled-into-empire.html?m=1

Right, and on the other side they have no problem with "crone", "harpy", "harridan" or "termagant".

I doubt that these rumours are credible because FW simply cannot support the level of production that would be required if its kits were made available to order from the main website and from the stores.

I also do not believe that GW would slate only the poorest performing fantasy armies for release in 2014.

The best way to handle suspect or potentially disreputable sources of rumors is to not comment on them so that they can drop off the front page into Oblivion.

The "Sling Crap To Wall, Observe What Sticks" approach isn't really much fun.

Or useful.

Plastic Harridan, Plastic sister, plastic thunderhawk ?

That's nothing, I'm still hoping that this inquisitor skirmish game will release soon. And since 40k radio hasn't scheduled anything for Febreuary, I convinced myself that February will be "le grand soir".

Now that's delusional

After the disasterous rumor turnout for nids, I hesitate to believe much of anything. With bretonnia on this list it's a direct contradiction of another 'good source'

And if they are dumb enough to continue to ignore orks, well it's their loss i suppose.

Bit disapointed by the new Tryanid models really and a bit worried what we might get actually for Orks...

The Necron codex will just be a "special edition" hardcover release to bring the codex in line to the other 6E codex, with a digital supplement covering the Sautekh Dynasty.

Are you speculating or providing rumors?

Not speculation. Based on a conversation w/ two folks "in the know". According to them, there is no playtesting or new models underway for Necrons, and the book is "just a reprint with color and hardcover". No word on the digital contents other than "will probably have a couple of scenarios and a special warlord trait"

I have feeling IG, is the next 40K army to be updated; I recently ordered some Basilisks and instead of coming in the standard colour box, the sprue was packed in a plain brown box (no design).

Welcome to the world of rumor tracking.

That's been ongoing for a few months - I'd say at least 6.

After what seems to have happened with Tyranids, I'm not so sure I want IG updated - they'll be hit with the nerf bat for sure.

The vendetta is long over-due for a nerf-bat hit as it was originally priced as a skimmer and now has all of the perks of a flier.

However, I am looking forward to some new goodies for IG. Especially new models!

Hopefully GW will change that ancient logo of theirs. None more 80s!

BTW, my source on IG:

"If your looking for a reboxed, Baskilisk - don't. IG has enough vehicle kits and management doesn't want a combined baskilisk/griffon/medusae kit (too easy to switch parts, apparently). New vehicle kits are expensive to design and with 6E focus on air/anti-air, expect new vehicle kits in that area. Expect the one(s) without GW models to get axed next release."

Also, "Look for plastic veterans."

And apparently on Orcs:

"Orcs have been hard. GW doesn't like how easy it is to kitbash equipment for them. Look for a focus on figure models and mobs."

In every bad rumor there has to be some believable element. Nids lost a few units that there were no model for. This includes spores and doom. So It is not hard to believe that the IG would have the same thing happen to them. 6th focusing on air and anti air is nice and all yet the nids did not get one anti air kit. All in all i think that this is a very general rumor and will be partly true.

As for orks... What does that even mean? look for focus on figure models and mobs? does this mean this person thinks they are going to axe every vehicle model that does not have a kit already? no more deff koptas, buggies, looted wagon? If so I am royally screwed because I rely on all these models.

But...That's the entire point of orks.

I guess it makes sense, just seems odd how they are shipping the Baskilisks now. A new Hydra box would be nice, all they would have to do is swing over what FW has.

Just checked out FW, and they have dropped their artillerty conversion kits. :(
