So, I was in my local GW store and the blackshirt there told me that SM would get a new vehicle.

It would be like a Baneblade, only with Assault Cannon sponsons and coaxial Inferno Cannon. He also said that it would have a special rule raising the front armour to 16. Then he pointed out that it would be able to carry up to two seperate units of 15 each and have Assault Launchers. Did I mention it would be a Skimmer but wouldn't be destroyed by Immobilised results?

All of this is ofc a complete fabrication and an outright lie. But given the number of rumours about 5th (most confirmed now), the new SM Codex and IG Codex I started to think of some of the more strange rumours that was presented.

So what is the most insane rumour you have heard about 5th, SM Codex and IG Codex?

The most AMAZING RUMOUR that I heard was that an AMAZING RUMOUR thread would be started on dakkadakka.com that was full of AMAZING RUMOURS.

AMAZING. Isn't it?

What is amazing is that people believe that blackshirts at their local GW store are privy to any secret information.

What's even more amazing is that people think they know nothing about what's coming up

Old one...

In 3rd edition the Imperium has fallen, the nids are everywhere and the only one who can save us are the cyber-warrior squats.

T8 wraithlords with initiative powerfists for 85 points is a close second.

there is a little truth in there, guns and flamers, inferno cannons though? they may look like them but i doubt it! black shirts too, and they no very little unless they're online too!

I've just recently heard a rumour that says, get ready for this:


There will be a 6th Edition.

It will change the way you play 40k. But it will be just the same as 5th.

I heard the models for the new codex are the best ever and blow away the old ones.

I heard all your existing minis can still be used in 5th edition.

I made a rumor where Rackham was relaunching
Confrontation with HEX bases and the models would
become prepainted blind pulls that you could only order
from an Internet station set up at a Convention in select
secret locations throughout the year but only if you had
collected purchase codes found by flipping through Cry
Havoc magazine with a magnifying glass.

Heard. I meant heard.

the best one i heard was GW know's what they are doing.

I heard that GW was going to start selling boxes of 10 plastic, basic troops for $22.


And to introduce the new pricing, the first box to get it would be a squad of plastic Sisters of Battle.

I heard that the new chaos codex would be alot better than the old one because it wouldn't be so darn confusing. And it's ok that there's no daemons in it because they get their own super-killy uber codex of death!

I heard that dresses give Marines super powers.

Or was it Malfred?

Dresses give Malfred super powers?

Yes. Next question.

I Heard from a Black Shirt's third cousin who was a red shirt and knew a white shirt that GW is producing a video called Life After Warhammer which will feature Andy Chambers touring with a Motörhead tribute band, Gav Thorpe's life as a line cook for Hungry Horse, and a Special Blue Ray HD x 8 disk of Paul Sawyer sunbathing on the French Riviera.

i juist heard somting that evry one go pre ordert a limited edition role book gets gifts and that dear will be goedies de 12 at my local ( kuch kuch 1hour on train ) gw shop

I heard they were bringing out plastic Cadians

As if that will ever happen

So....what's the super-secret MODs-and-DCMs-only forum like?

I heard that Fat Bloke might come back to Dakka as long as there are no Penguins running loose.

Stupid fat fingers.

The one I was gah gah for was the whole Starchild rumors. Went along with GeeW advancing the story line. SC is the new God-Emperor incarnate. 'Nids on Terra. Eldar joining up with the D. Eldar and both joining Chaos. Other stuff that was way out there, but had a hard time not believing that GeeW would go that route. Well, GeeW of old, that is.

I heard that if you incorporate a GW-laser pointer in your GW supplied Figs-you do not need to roll to hit. If the 'Dot' is over your enemy, you automatically hit.

Also, lies make Baby Jesus cry.

And best till last.......

If you and your opponent agree on it, you can have a 1 turn, objective based game.

I heard that there was this game where grown men* argue over dollies and the company that makes the dollies should be sued for severe psychological trauma induced on the same grown men by the story book about the dollies.

*Read grown men as loosely as a rental car that's been driven as hard as a career prostitute.

I heard that the new Unit in the IG Codex will be

Quote: Sea Bass with 3 BS. Equipped with the mutation, for 2 extra points you get the "memories of a frying pan," trait. This makes the laser beams Assault 3 for the turn...

God I loved that. Thx goes out to jfrazell!

I heard that back in the old days GW had no black people working there, no one painted black models and they even made 'black skin' a chaos mutation.

(anyone remember the old 'is GW racist' flamewars of usenet and ezboard?)

Visualize hot chicks bringing you beer and queso.

Or inversely Malfred in hotpants bringing you beer and queso

I heard that GW trialed slaneesh demonetes without lionclothes. only gamers didnt like the lady boy look

I heard that Celene Dion and GW had a battle to once and for all claim the title of Anti-Christ. GW got pwned.

I heard GW several times attempted to print money, but no one likeded the idea. So each time they went back to only making 40K and Fantasy, but let Jervis occasionally print money as a side project.
