**shrike**

can everyone tell me what the latest rumours are?

**Elric of Grans**

There was a rumour that this thread will get locked...

**Ozymandias**

Well where to begin?

GW decided that Dark Eldar will be the next big thing so you can expect a new Dark Eldar codex in February of next year.

Also, although Squats are gone, there are plans to release the concept as the Demiurge as a stand alone codex. We saw a preview of the models and they were AWESOME!!!!!!!!

For Fantasy, the error that is the Daemons Army Book has been recognized and we should expect to see an updated book. Lots of nerfs all around.

Brettionia will be released but only in French.

Space Hulk was such a huge success that we should see every Specialist Game getting their own Limited Edition release. Next up is GorkaMorka.

Finally, Chaos Space Marines will get a new codex. But instead of a fluff section there's just a picture of Jervis giving the middle finger to HBMC.

That's all for now!

Sigged

**deitpike**

you forgot
The Pan Fo will be reviled!

**BrassScorpion**

Due to the success of the Overwatch concept in the new Space Hulk and in 2nd edition 40K, it will again appear in the 40K rules when version 6 of 40K is released

On the subject of Games Day UK 2009, GW provided this info today.

I'm more interested in talking about Games Day 2010 events. I've had discussions with a couple different people in GW US about how stripped down and low-budget Games Day events were this year, making them the least spectacular Games Days ever. I've been reassured that the error of turning their premiere product and hobby showcase into an empty shell of its usual self will not happen in 2010. Supposedly, Games Day 2010 will restore Games Day to its usual level of spectacle and excitement.

**JohnHwangDD**

You know, if GW wanted to drive more interest at future Games Days, perhaps GW could sell individual bitz...

That would be a nice, new thing for them to do next year!

I've heard the same and I really hope it's true. Toning things down didn't work for E3, and apparently it didn't work too well for GW. Here's hoping it's back to it's former glory soon.

**Sidstyler**

Hopefully for them people are still willing to go after the crap fests that were 2009 Games Days.

**dienekes96**

BrassScorpion, I'll need a report telling me how awesome GD2010 was before I consider a ticket again.

GD Balt 2009 was the closest thing to theft I've ever seen, in terms of content versus cost. I'm not doing that again.

Seeing a bunch of pre-release stuff for GDUK reminds me of my first GD (when they treated it like something special hobby-wide), and how pathetic 2009 was in comparison.

Beyond that, great thread. Very useful.

**UltraPrime**

Not been to GD for many years, so this may seem a stupid question. Can you buy stuff with a credit card?

**reds8n**

Yes you can.

If you're travelling to the event with your local GW store and the coach they hired then you should receive a free novella entitled "Vulkan's shield" by Nick Kyme which is a taster for his Salamander series of books.

Which is pretty good actually so far, first book starts a little clunkily perhaps but hits its stride quickly and has some cool moments in it.

Thanks. Not doing coach, driving myself.

**Necros**

How could 2009's GD possibly suck? They had a SQUIG CAKE! ya can't beat that...

**reds8n**

By "novella" I in fact mean a folded and printed sheet of A4 in fact. Still it seems the next BL open day is 13.2.10.

**BrookM**

Here's hoping those idiots have got their new site up by then.

**1hadhq**

So no coverage of GD uk at dakka?

**Bleieskiftarbeider**

Tyranid codex has been confirmed for jan 2010. Written by Robin Cruddace.

And the new Lord of Change from FW:

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

Soon the the Imperium faces a new thread, one from a quarter they never saw coming.

Prepare for...

Hive Fleet Arbitrary

**1hadhq**

With special characters? ^^

Had to grab this from whineseer ( cause dakka lacks pics of events on the british islands ):

IA 8:

Elysians and orks should be expected.
Not heard of Raven Guard tough.

Anything about the dropship?

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

Warseer has a few pics. It's very Starship Trooper-esque in that it has a cargo-bay for infantry either side of the cockpit.

And then big Land Speeder wings.

**Bleieskiftarbeider**

Could be this one, but look a little like SM stuff.

Also some Tallern greens:

Demon cavalry:

**1hadhq**

The concept drawings look better than the model.

Flying brick FTW.

**shadowseer92**

OMFG YES! GORKAMORKA! , I STILL PLAY IT AND IT'S GUNNA BE UPDATED !

**BrookM**

A havy lift variant of the Valkyrie and a new fast attack vehicle.

feth. Yes.

**AgeOfEgos**

That looks like a Land Speeder variant to me. The forward wing/spoiler/cockpit. Plus, didn't FW state previously they always wanted to do a proper mid-range flying vehicle for the SM (As the Tempest was considered a failure)? Maybe a 'Scout' Speeder for Tac marines..?

The most exciting thing I've read/seen so far; Tallarn! Finally an excuse to buy those FW rough riders and do an Africa Korp themed IG force;

**Steelmage99**

I am going to laugh my behind to bits if Tallarn plastics are released before a generic great-coat guard.

**BrassScorpion**

How about the news on a 40K movie!?! Check it out at

Tallarn plastics would pretty well guarantee that I start an Imperial Guard army. Great-coat guard wouldn't.

**Necros**

Lots of nice stuff on the way

can't wait till the new nid pics start popping up

FW stuff is great as usual. But I'm most interested in the Ultramarines movie
