Necronspurs2012 Rumors: 2014 Releases, Codices and LotR, FW,WHFB: Fw officialy take over finecast an @ 2014/01/13 19:01:02


Post by: necronspurs2012


All my rumours and news will all now be on this thread.


11/1/14

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

(With new white dwarf format, dark eldar and necrons expected to)

Fantasy in order:
Dwarfs (confirmed)
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 with new named factions for imperium and mini codex's for smaller factions. (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.

12/1/14
The new starter set for warhammer fantasy 9th edition set to be released this summer will contain orcs and goblins and empire. The set will contain mounted riders for empire and gunners. Night goblins and orcs with a river troll for O & G. There is set to be around 50/60 models in this set with more than said here.

Note this is from a good source though the models content is not tor definite.

12/1/14
Quoted from an independant source:

To go with forge world combining web pages with GW, they will release codexes containing their products with all rules, stats and fluff for each army for both 40k and fantasy. These will be similar to supplements with new rules and warlord traits. The prices are said to be similar to 40k hard back codices.

Forge world is being rumoured to start doing hobbit/lotr kits. This has come around with GW not being able to produce a smaug model due to their agreement with new line cinema that all models must be of right likelyness and scale. Other models rumoured to be done are the necromancer, sauron and even terrain.

Note this is just rumours at the moment

13/1/14: Dwarfs

Dwarfs are set to get a heavy release in the first two weeks of february. The first week is the armybook and all redos of metal/finecast kits along with troops units. The second week will bring new kits and the larger ones like warmachines and characters, a new plastic dwarf king clampack.

Dwarf slayers and hammerers will get a new plastic kit and a new siege engine aswell aswell as a war alter will be released aswell

14/1/14
New gw website:

The new gw website will launch in march. The forgeworld, black library and gw sites will merge as one under the name of Games Workshop. How all books and fw products will be arranged is to be seen. whether all books and novels will be under each army they are about or under a black libary tab and FW products under each army or under a FW tab.

19/1/14 

The GW website here in the uk has been down now for a few days, could this be the start of the new look image GW are beinging in this year?

1/3/14

So thought id share some info I had from a gw staff member.Forge world have completely taken over finecast for good aswell as the whole of the hobbit/lotr range. Apparently gw no longer care for it as it does not make them enough profits compared to 40k and famtasy. This also makes the rumours about fw making their oen hobbit kits such as smaug more believable.

Grey Knights before Dark Eldar? Really?!

I don't know off the top of my head when Dark Eldar last were printed, but it seems odd.

He is the source. He's a rumor monger just like Stickmonkey, Natfka, Hastings or Harry. You accept that he is the source and move on. He's not going to tell you that he hangs out with Cruddace and plays poker.

If his predictions turn out to be true, he has a reliable source. If you don't trust his rumours yet, why would you trust his claim his source is reputable?

Well, he listed every codex that hasn't been updated to 6th ed. Except SoB... At this rate they'll have nothing to write in two years and will probably write one to justify their paychecks.

SOB has been updated to 6th.

And that's a tried and true way to give out rumors.

I strongly doubt that Dwarfs will get a Codex in February
An armybook maybe.

They didn't. They're mentioned in the 6E rulebook, amongst other abhumans, IIRC.

I am not sure whether this is of any help when it comes to confirming or denying rumours, but here goes:

I was at Warhammer World on the 27th of December and happened to notice that the entire Space Wolves army was absent from the display museum section (except for Canis Wolfborn) Now, I am not sure, but I can imagine three reasons why the entire army would not be there: They're in a photo-shoot for a new Codex or perhaps for a battle report or for a new book.

If they're there for a battle report - then it's curious to think how almost all (except Orks) armies in need of a 6th Ed. codex are Imperial so who would they be fighting if not a Xenos race thus confirming (perhaps) the idea that it's about a new codex...

I may be getting too excited over this and it could all turn out to be a short photo shoot for another campaign book but at least I thought I'd share it here. There may be someone who's much more well acquainted with the reasons why whole armies are not on display.

There is a new campaign book (planetstrike) set to appear in june but the wolves codex is also rumpured to be this year aswell so there is a fewpossibilties.

I consider the digital codex just an update, like the one BA got a few years ago. I still think they will have an updated 6th ed codex by next year. I'm just skeptical about a guy who lists all of the unupdated codexes as a rumor.

The history of SOB is a series of codexes just like that one so it is entirely in line with what we have seen before.

And I share you skepticism.

That's an entirely different question. Orks are the oldest remaining codex and the only one left from 4th edition.

That was my point, once the Orks get thier 6th edition codex, the others can complain away.

I am just waiting for Guard and Wolves.

Well, Adepta Sororitas got a 6th edition codex and Orks did not, but still Orks have some flyers ( ) and Sisters do not (and let us not even mention multi-part plastic kit, lords of war, and all that). So Sisters' players have every right to complain, and will do so at every opportunity .

@ necronspurs2012:

I'm curious.

You did say that you will not reveal your "sources" (fair enough), but could you elaborate on why you had a number of rumors on the 11th, then another two on the 12th, one yesterday and one today?

How should I picture the respective conversations going?

"Pleeeeaaase, tell me another bit of news!"
"Okay, but just one today. If you want to know more you need to ask me again tomorrow, like you did the last three days!"
"Alright."
"Oh, and don't forget to randomly add that half the stuff I tell you is just a rumor. After all, it's not like I really know what's going on."

Or do you simply know multiple people who are willing to jeopardize their employment just to tell you what's going on behind the scenes?

I don't think grilling him on his sources is productive. He's either being honest or he isn't. The proof will be in the tracking.

Let me rephrase: You are asking to explain his sources in an aggressive fashion by indicating he might not be telling the truth. I don't believe that is helpful.
Three reasons:
One, it is antagonistic to the original poster.
Two, he can just lie.
Three, it is completely irrelevant to the information being provided.

No, because you have twice as many release that you are interested in as someone who only plays one army. Like me. I only play Sisters of Bitter, so I get the force-multiplier for my moaning !
(Well, and trollbloods, but different company, doesn't count !)

Now I wait with baited breath for March.

I'm terrified to see what GW's idea of localized prices for Forgeworld models will be for CAD and AUS players.

God, GW getting its grimy mits further into FW and BL, the last remaining (but quickly withering) reasons to even be involved with 40k at all.

I'm sure this site will be a load of rubbish. Probably charge you to look at stuff.

So if 6E Imperial Guard is set to be released in a few months, where the hell are the rumors?

We were getting steady rumors for 'Nids since the summer. The Guard codex is predicted for March, but even if it were as late as June, we should be hearing more buzz about it.

All the Nid rumours were people just making stuff up, though. Now that IG is universally accepted as being the next release, I'm sure it will get its due attention from Faeit and the trolls.

Why do the DE need a new dex NOW!


I'm not sure we do. On the one hand I'd like mandrakes or even the court to be viable, and I'd like a hardback. On the other the army is pretty solid as is and I'm scared that they will screw it up. Currently there are only a couple of specific builds from other codexes we have problems with. However stronghold assault neatly fixes that problem.

The order I believe they ought to do this in is: guard, orks, wolves, blood angels, gk, de then crons. It would bring everyone in line in a similar order from most to least 6th ed issues. However that puts 3 marine armies in a row. So, given how GW tends to mix things up I think they'll do: guard, wolves, orks, blood angels, de, gk, crons. I wouldn't expect much in the way of new models for any of them.

Does the integration of FW and GW websites mean that they will assign random costs for currencies other than pounds to other countries?

This could mean bad news for a lot of countries where they make up thier own exchange rates!

Its a business decision to cut some fat.

This is done basicly to justify getting a better bang for your pound.( remember the "New executive" they brought on for cost cutting measures.... old whats her name?)


You will honestly be seeing more FW stuff in reg. games very soonish, based on the issues that have sprung up over the past year or so based on the 6th Edition revamp, then to add incentive to keeping players, with the addition of the IA stuff to the mix as the newish supplimentals come out. (This will give you the added incentive to BUY MORE STUFFS!!! from FW at the going rates.)

(Saves them from making new plastic kits, saves you from keeping money in your wallet, thereby keeping it lighter and helping you walk straight, because we all know how GW cares about your money, and counting it to know how well they are doing.)



Of course, I might have to pull out my old IG stuff and see how we can dust them off.
That air assult catachan force that I was musing back in the day is all but here. Now all I need are some velociraptor cavalry and all will be complete.

( Cue ride of the valkries......)

All my rumours and news will all now be on this thread.


11/1/14

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

(With new white dwarf format, dark eldar and necrons 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.

12/1/14
The new starter set for warhammer fantasy 9th edition set to be released this summer will contain orcs and goblins and empire. The set will contain mounted riders for empire and gunners. Night goblins and orcs with a river troll for O & G. There is set to be around 50 models in this set with more than said here.

Note this is from a good source though the models content is not tor definite.

12/1/14
Quoted from an independant source:

To go with forge world combining web pages with GW, they will release codexes containing their products with all rules, stats and fluff for each army for both 40k and fantasy. These will be similar to supplements with new rules and warlord traits. The prices are said to be similar to 40k hard back codices.

Forge world is being rumoured to start doing hobbit/lotr kits. This has come around with GW not being able to produce a smaug model due to their agreement with new line cinema that all models must be of right likelyness and scale. Other models rumoured to be done are the necromancer, sauron and even terrain.

Note this is just rumours at the moment

13/1/14: Dwarfs

Dwarfs are set to get a heavy release in the first two weeks of february. The first week is the armybook and all redos of metal/finecast kits along with troops units. The second week will bring new kits and the larger ones like warmachines and characters, a new plastic dwarf king clampack.

Dwarf slayers and hammerers will get a new plastic kit and a new siege engine aswell aswell as a war alter will be released aswell

14/1/14

19/1/14

I'm curious too, to be honest. But again, we've all been burned before on 'new' White Dwarf. The last time White Dwarf did a successful revamp was just before issue 200 where it became 'Fat Dwarf'. Sure, it was back to regular size by 220-ish, but for that brief period it was chock full of stuff.

He can't name his source, too risky for the person involved. GW is quite zealous in keeping their secrets.

Of course, this doesn't eliminate the possibility of him making everything up, but as he has 1 confirmed and 0 fakes (the last rumor listed about the site down for a few days is speculation NOT a rumor) so far, it's looking reliable.

There is no speculation in "The GW website here in the uk has been down now for a few days,". It is just an obviously false statement you made. And I just pointed out, that this is not a good thing when you try to establish credibility.

Guys, seriously, stop asking rumor mongers to post their sources. If they told us the sources name, the source would likely be fired and no more rumors.

If you believe the guy, cool, if not, cool. But none of us will know until the rumors come to pass or don't. So chill, wait and then you can throw the poor guy under the bus, IF his rumors don't turn out to be correct.

Not naming the source is perfectly reasonable, but most newspapers will at least indicate the nature of the source, ie "a friend" "passer by" etc.
So without any qualification this source could be a redshirt all the way up to Jervis himself.

I question the validity of this info based in two counts, the plausibility of the OP as a rumourmonger based in the info in his user profile, and the fact that nearly all the info in his rumours have already been largely talked about by rumourmongers with established track records, and those details which are specific (new FB starter contents for instance) are qualified as "subject to change" and therefore are already primed with a get out of jail free card.

If I'm wrong, fair enough, I'll hold my hands up, but frankly, there isn't really a lot that isn't likely or already anticipated, so, source or no source, I expect he'll get a number of TRUEs from Pretre regardless.

Agreed.

It's not so much about rumours being possibly wrong. All rumour-mongers get some rumours wrong (if they didn't, it wouldn't be rumours, but a genuine leak).

It's more the fact that it's hard to distinguish here what exactly is genuinely coming from Necronspur's source, and what is just Natfka-reposts, idle speculation and other "noise".

"FTFY" is something that's generally frowned upon here at Dakka.

Just put whatever it was in your own post, and lots of potential arguments, drama, warnings and suspensions can easily be avoided.

I'd even take issue with giving the first one a true, as all I've seen so far is a typical monthly release spread over three weeks instead of one. But I'll concede that you're the arbiter of these things Pretre and whatever you think is fair.

Good call, actually. I think I will go ahead and update that one.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Either way, leaves a lot of doubt on all his other rumors if he couldn't hit the one that was closest to release.

Overall seems like a decent source if not entirely in the loop.
Dates aside, the only thing that seems to be entirely untrue is the siege engine.

There is A plastic slayer, and (I think you mean replace metal and finecast with plastic?) there are now plastic alternatives to the metal /finecast generic characters.

I'm not questioning your ratings, I understand that your system needs to be black and white, I'm just saying that based on the list you posted the source wasn't completely out to lunch.

Well, I kind of see what you're getting at. He didn't have any orc crushers in his list or anything. Off is off though.

Looks like he also rumored a War Alter, so that's another specific item wrong.
So that would be all the vague general stuff sort of right if you squint at it, and all the specifics pretty much wrong.

I return to the shadows.

Shouldn't we wait until the Dwarf release is clearly over, if plastic slayers and a new warmachine come out by the end of the month, he would really only be off in the 2 vs 4 weeks deal. Also, you could count the new version of the gyrocopter as a new war machine.

Gyro was week one with the dual infantry kit and isn't a 'siege engine'. Also, pretty sure we're done with the release now that we have the leaks for week 3/4 already.

I will certainly reverse tracking if we get surprised though.

Gyro is a week 2 release.

Week 1 was the Dwarf Slayer, Hammerers/Longbeards, and Belegar Ironhammer.

Hey pretre, I have a question, he posted a rumour of this; "There and back again kits will be released."

I just wanted to know, what is the point of giving him a true if that is true? That is like me starting a rumour thread and saying 'my source tells me a 40k codex will be updated this year'. Just curious as to how your tracker will handle that.

Welp, necronspurs2012 was online and posting as recently as yesterday, yet hasn't posted in this thread for weeks.

Personally, if I was genuine, I'd be here trying to explain why the disconnects between what I'd reported and what had happened had occurred.

But then, I'd also probably have the balls to post here and hold my hands up to making it up/getting it completely wrong and explain myself too.

That's probably going to get a TOO VAGUE if it ever comes around. That's generally how we handle them. You can check it out by clicking the link in my sig and seeing how we've handled other too vagues.

I think we'll see a bit more in 2 weeks then. Good luck with everything suddenly catching up. I doubt it though.

I think that's a bit harsh. Hastings has been out of it for a while and it isn't necessary to know every other monger to produce good rumors.

But if you want to see how others have done it and keep a low profile, not get your sources burned, and have been up to date with rumors in general, then you read the rumor threads and see the big names. I'm just saying that I personally don't see much true from this person that hasn't been posted by others before, and it makes my thread reading go easier.

Anyone's free to ignore me and my rants as well, Alpharius keeps trying to

I presume it has something to do with Alpharius being a mod, meaning he either can't ignore people, or chooses not to so that he can see what they post to keep an eye on them.

It was partly that, and mostly that I was joking with him because he was slagging off PACIFIC RIM. Though I do have an admitted and well known weakness for Kaiju movies!

Interesting fact - I haven't IGNOREd anyone on Dakka Dakka - ever!

I don't think I ever will either. It is too easy to just not read/not respond to whomever/whatever!

On topic here - I'm thinking N2012 won't be faring to well in the ratings department soon...

thats pretty common with rumor folks, the court of law gives you innocent till proven guilty, the court of rumors gives you false till proven true, i wouldnt take it personally. I hope your stuff turns out to be more true then false as it would be cool to get a rumor posting on dakka

Well, innocent until proven guilty tends to evaporate fairly quickly in the face of a smoking gun and signed confession. As has been pointed out, people have seen the army book and none of the stuff predicted is in there.
