Added whitehat's ipad rumor.

Whitehat wrote:Confirmations are confidential

June 30 is 6th Ed
August is Daemons wave (plastic troops, last two boxes)
DA Early next year
Apart from CSM, no more codexes/Armybooks this year

These are actually good news: rulebook, Daemons, and CSM. This will give me some work during the 2nd half of the year.

Yeah, looks like mr White Hat may get some TRUEs on his list.

Added BoW, Darnok and Warseer rumors for 6th.

I had a thought... Should we separate leaks and rumors for tracking purposes?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Added Chipstar leak

IMO, I don't even know if the leaks are worth tracking. It's probably more effort than it's worth.

Yeah, although it looks like we just got a lot of good juicy confirmations today. I will be busy.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Updated for the WD leak. I did not give BoK credit for C&P the rumors from yesterday.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Looks like the rest at this point are just people with the rulebook in hand, so we'll forgo any more 6th specific rumors.

I made a mistake with the random charge; you dont drop the lowest (so 2D6 for foot; 3D6 for Jump infantry dropping the )

As a consololation; precision strike. On a 6 to hit with shooting from ICs or Snipers; on a roll of a 6 you can allocate who the wound goes to.

Also noted that you said Hardback for the rulebook (thought that was a given) Hardback was intended to refer to codexes from now on.

FAQs are scheduled to go up on release day.

I will add those when I get into work tomorrow.

Added BoK's FOC prediction

This is the "He's a lier and he's not" thread. Lol.

I'm just fascinated by the fascination we have with rumors.

i mean this and other forums have trillions of 0's and 1's dedicated to this subject and really... None of it matters. In a vacuum any one rumor will sort of just be that: a thing in a vacuum.

gamers are such wierdos.

Umm. Yeah...

Anyways, massive updates from the white dwarf info that I received.

Did anyone ever include the supposed Bretonnian rumors?

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/367267.page

I added them. Got 2 falses and 3 pendings.

Fixed that one so it wasn't attributed to harry

Hi Guys,

I've been on a break from 40k for about 6-8 months. I've come back to find 6th edition about to land. I'd like to mention a rumour post that I made in 2011 about the contents of the 6th edition starter. I feel I should be given full credit for being the first to break that rumour. I'm not a regular rumour source, but the rudeness that my post was greeted with left a very bad taste in my mouth. If I ever post another rumour, I would like to point to a history of accuracy to silence the trolls, naysayers, and wishlisters.

Added that rumor, which puts you at 1, 1 and 3.

More updates

Updated all the 6th ed rumors except the 'Imperium protect the Tau' rumor since I haven't read the fluff section of the B3 yet.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Found the Tau thing on another thread. I think you can really get an idea now of who knows what they are talking about and who's just throwing gak against the wall and hoping some of it will stick.

I think a couple folks (whitehat) must have had leaked copies of WD, books, since they put out prolific lists late in the game and got a lot correct.

Interesting stuff. I'll keep it up, although it will slow down for a while until Chaos pops out.

I am not adding the starter set rumors from N&R, unless someone can translate or give me a rumor monger.

Nice to see all the updates, pretre.

For all the flak Beasts of War got for being "unreliable" the sure have a nice batting average for the 6th edition videos they made.

Can you believe White Dwarfs are more locked down than the books?

I can believe anything of GW. That is pretty crazy though. lol

Thanks Pretre! That must have taken a while to update all those...

Great work here Pretre. It's amazing you took this much time to track all of this.

A lot of people thought Whitehat was just some dude who knew nothing. Seems he had a pretty good indication of what was going on after all.

This is amazing, great work putting these all together and keeping them updated!

Yeah, I suspect Whitehat had a copy of the book or WD early.

A couple posts up he kinda hints that he had the book or access to it.

Added the necron vs sm starter set rumor.

Hey, Kroot!

Thanks for the G21 one. Got a link?

I actually had Harry's AI rumor but hadn't updated it, so thanks!

Warseer is a category for anything that no one has gotten me a real name for. It could probably be parsed out. I'll take a look again this week if I have a chance.

I saw that Fantasy one, but it was just Harry rehashing other people's rumors so didn't count it, since I didn't have links to the originals. You think we should just use his post and count it for all the people he listed?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Yeah, I checked the Warseer rumor. It is from a dakka poster who just wrote 'Leaks from Warseer'. Ugh.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Massive update for the Harry Fantasy rumors. Yikes.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Got a massive set of updates from KH for Darnok, Jared van Kell and TheDarkGeneral. Added 72 rumors for TDG alone.

Added Bramgaunt dates and TDG's flyer predictions for 2 weeks hence.

Neko from Warseer updated.

I haven't checked this out in a while, but you've done some good work here!

I re-itterate my support for this getting stickied, and put in the News & Rumors section!

Have you covered this...

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/06/40k-allies-are-for-what.html

BOLS had it down that named ICs couldn't be taken for allies. Turned out to be false.

...just a minor annoyance of mine as it actually had me fooled until somebody pointed out it wasn't the case a few days ago.
