Yesterday I got to look at some of the new WIP items for 2010 and beyond. A lot of it is already out there, (Ork Dreads). Some of it has been seen. I got permission to mention some of the items, but not a lot of specifics or specific release details.

* New GK Terminators 3ups (5 poses, 1 HQ/leader)
* New Daemonhunter/Witchhunter concept art
* New DH/WH vehicles/support
* New Ork dreads
* New Marine models for a specific chapter
* New SM concept art
* New DE models (these are sweet, and I'm not a DE lover)
* New DE concept art
* New Guard tanks/artillery
* New Necron MC sized model
* New Necron concept art
* New Ork vehicles
* New 40k concept art and 3ups tied to a future Codex release
* A lot of the Missions book tie in releases

Obviously a lot of this just strengthens rumors that are already out there. And some of it looks very rough, as in 3ups with lots of notes for changes.

I'm struggling to hold back and just dump specifics. There is one model in particular I want to talk about, but am unable, but you all will find that out soon anyhow, it's part of the Missions release, so news will spill out in due course.

I can only imagine the new Marine models refers to Blood Angels. I'd guess the new tanks and artillery for Guard are just the recut Chimera and Basilisk we've already seen, but you never know. New Grey Knights bodes well for the Inquisition to eventually get some love. As for the "3ups tied to a future release" this could mean anything. Given the fact that Dark Eldar are already mentioned on this list makes me think they're probably not Dark Eldar, but something else entirely. Wild speculation here, but maybe Inquisition? Opinions?

Edit for part 2:

I've seen loads of speculation on IG ST, but nothing in this batch. I've heard rumors of them being part of the Missions releases, but honestly it seems like there are more models than could possibly fit in a release with Missions...

To go back to prior rumors this is what I've heard/know about for the Missions release (and no, i cannot point out specifics I know of, to be safe here):

IG:
new style Chimera w/manticore option
new style LR with original+2 of the remaining variants
new style basilisk +medusa and one other variant
stormtroopers

SM:
new predator
t-hawk
ven dread
characters

Orks:
dread
buggy/trakk
copter
flashgitz upgrade for boyz
grot cannon in plastic w all options

Daemon/CSM:
plastic Greater demon
plastic nurgle warriors
plastic tzeetch flyers
plastic horrors
plastic/metal (conflicting rumors) slaanesh riders
characters
plastic csm upgrade sprues - god specific

Tau:
plastic crisis suit redo

eldar:
serpent/prism repack w plastic prism
plastic avatar redo (possible autarch, could be lost in translation)
plastic hvy/support weapons platform
plastic wraithguard

necrons:
plastic tombspider

So obviously not all this can fit in a march release. some of it is probably no more than fan rabidity/wishlisting. I will say not to expect more than about 6 new boxed sets to come out with the missions book. Possibly a few blisters as well.

**warpcrafter**

Thanks for bringing that here, so we don't have to go there. (You know what I mean...)
Secondly, some of it does sound quite wishlisty, but we'll just see.
Third, plastic rules!

**StrixStruma**

Edit: Ohhh okay. Thanks.

If the Rumor on The Plastic Wraithguard and Fire Prisim is true,That will be GREAT.

**Acardia**

if the crisis suit plastics look like the FW ones I will be happy as a pig in gak.

No thunderwolf calv or wolves huh? Too bad, I was kinda looking forward to a second wave SW release.

**Kanluwen**

Thunderwolf Cavalry and Wolves would be coming from Forge World, so...

Trust me, I don't like going there anymore than you do. I suffer for the enjoyment of all you dakkaites

The guy this came from is apparently pretty reputable. Up there with Harry from what I hear.

**Kurgash**

sweet zombie jesus...a plastic tomb spyder! maybe now it will actually be MC size!

**Death Gear**

wait a thunder hawk that's AWESOME I'll buy five

**H.B.M.C.**

T-Hawk? Hmm...

**Hollismason**

Look we need to talk , I know you think that we are going to get back together and Ill look all good and gak and treat you right but I am not going to. Its over between us move on.

Sincerely,

Dark eldar

I wonder why a new Predator would come out unless they just wanted to accomodate the Baal variant. As for plastic Fireprisms and Wraithguard, all I can say is hell yeah, finally. I can't believe it took them this long. Orks have needed new buggies for years.

I refuse to get excited about new DE until I have the new models and book in my hands. I don't care if they come out and show everything with designer notes and a handwritten apology from Tom Kirby, Jervis Johnson and Rick Priestley mailed to my house, I'm not going to acknowledge them as real until I feel the plastic in my hands. GW teases far too much.

I bet you that they pull a Space Hulk with this one..

"No, it's not a Thunder Hawk, we promise!"

"Surprise! LOL

Oh btw we only have a limited #...until we find some in our warehouse.

Actually they tease far to little. If they teased a lot I'd have nothing to complain about...

**Railguns**

In regards to DE they do at least. I'm still a bit cheesed off about Space Hulk, the 3-month release window, and how we knew more about the Space Marine releases in the Tyranid release window then we knew about the dang Tyranids. Weren't pictures of the Lost and Damned released before the Nid dex was official public knowledge?

These rumours about DE suck. We keep hearing scuttlebutt about them, certain community members have come out to reassure us that it's true, but the DE continually get pushed back with such frequency that Duke Nukem Forever is looking absolutely plausible.

With BA being the next SM release, that would make sense.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if it's not actually a 'new' predator, but simply a recut sprue. Fewer parts, ala the Leman Russ, and (hopefully) remodelled, stronger sponson weapon mounts.

Meanwhile, Grey Knight 3-ups mean plastics... which is moderately interesting.

**lords2001**

I would do MUCH for Plastic GK's of all kinds.

MUCH!

That and the rest of the releases means that the comparatively lackluster spell for my 'can't wait for this to come out' love-ins will be over

**devinb1690**

Heck yeah, new Necron stuff, let's also hope they get a new codex. Man though, orks seem to have all the fun lately!

**davidson**

The only thing that bothers me about this list is a lack of 2nd Tyranid wave figures.

**Iron Gryphon**

Maybe it will be worth it to save up some money and see what comes out before I buy anything else for my army

**wuestenfux**

No Killa Kanz, that's a shame.

Thats what I was thinking. The predator is a fine looking kit in itself that's consistent with the rest of the line, so the only reason for a "new" pred would be a recut and accomodating an assault cannon turret.

The Tyranids are going to need models for the Tyrannofex, Tervigon, and Harpy +some of the special characters unless they plan on banking on people using existing kits to make them. Otherwise Tyranids are pretty well covered beyond needing a new dang Biovore.

**Aduro**

I wonder. If this list had Tervigons and Tyrannofexes and whatever else cool new `Nid stuff on it that's not coming out with the book, what would that do to people's buying habits right now? How many less people would not buy the kits to convert their own if they knew/thought an official kit would be coming out in the coming year?

**Kanluwen**

Tervigon is supposed to be able to be constructed from leftover bits of the Trygon and Carnifexes.

**Railguns**

I know, but it's strange for the "official" version of certain models being a kitbash. It's been that way before but GW is usually mute on the subject. This time they came right out and said "buy 2 $50 kits and make this". Does that mean they never intend to make kits for those units?

**Aduro**

It probably just means they want you to buy $100 of kits now to play with it, and then have to buy a new $50 kit a year from now so it's tournament official.

**Mick A**

I was going along with this thinking WOW! there are some great things coming out then I saw 't-hawk'. Now filed under 'fanboy wish list'...

Missions => rapid insertion => t-hawk..... who could resist?

SM:
new predator
t-hawk
ven dread
characters

As above T-hawk

Also a plastic venerable would be fine but somehow interfere with FW...

And why do we see a "new" predator on this list?
More variants? For a specific chapter to be released then?
