Thanks to yakface for making this thread a stickie. Will try to keep the first post updated. Changed the title as well.

BTW Harry thinks Tyranids 2nd wave are either last 40k release this year (instead of Sororitas) or first 40k release next year.

Well as popular as it was, and as they hoped for, it was always meant to be Limited Edition.

More of an acknowledgment to their older systems rather than a full on re-release of old games.

but, if something is going to sell like hotcakes, sell out completely with people demanding more, why wouldn't a company WANT to make more of them? it's not like GW DOESN'T want my money or yours... another baffling "business" move on GW's part...

now if the special secret release for September is a re-release (re-re-release?) of Space Hulk set that we all love, then i'll buy two! providing that GW wants to exchange their goods for my money...

But before that, for several years it was #1 demand on internet polls for what GW should do to increase sales.
When we learned about the project, we thought, that finally GW had listened learnt. Well, they haven't.
We even hoped that the sprues would be sold separately for the Tyranid and Blood Angels releases. Would also have sold like hot cakes and not interfered with the limited run status. Well, they havem't.

I think the problem with GW is they take away the chapter approved from the the white dwarf.With that they used to give you a update of the old codex when they chage the editions.And also kool army list variants.

Ah, this thread rocks. Glad for the links, I'd totally missed the monsters/magic WHFB thread!

Chapter approved was really the only reason I used to actually read WD back in the day. It was the only saving grace the CSM had back then when they gave them that twisted joke called a 3rd ed. codex

Great thread, thanks for compiling and tracking these.

I was really hoping to read Lizardmen in that list..

Are thy something like the most unpopular army?

I dunno, all the codexes released shortly before 5th edition did fine under the new rules (Dark Angels, CSM, Orks & Daemons). It was the older codexes that got hammered by the changes (Tau, Necrons).

It was only the release of newer codexes that did Dark Angels in much more than the new edition of rules.

GW really needs to revise their codex release schedule and do a complete overhaul. Having a codex that is two editions behind is freaking ridiculous.

yes, but why would they do that when they can release a bright, shiny new marines codex? who cares that they released on last month AND the month before, its not like it angers anyone, because as we all know, EVERYONE LOVES MARINES!!!
I KNOW, I KNOW!!! LETS GIVE "SQUAT TREATMENT" TO THE TAU, THE NECRONS, THE ORKS, THE ELDAR, THE DE, CHAOS DEMONS, CHAOS MARINES, IMPERIAL GUARD AND SISTER OF BATTLE, SO THAT WE CAN RELEASE MORE MARINES!!!
oh wait, that would leave only marines...
ah well; MARINES VERSUS MARINES!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!

damn GW and their release schedule!

Feb 2009. May seem like a while but there have only been Beastmen, Skaven, Orcs & Goblins and Tomb Kings re-released since then.

suddenly the ""Summer of Flyers"" came from a UNRELIABLE source

its from the same guy (BoK) that wrote the 6th ED rumors DDD

if people keep reposting other peoples "rumors" (wishes) with their own ideas added. They confirm their own BS

BoK is full of BS... he just says everything until something matches... then people say he was right on this or that. -.-
But he is just speculating. The 6th ED "new" rules are all from warmachine & 2nd ED 40k.

1.) The "Summer of Flyers" rumour started by stickmonkey on Warseer, not BoK. Stickmonkeys rumours often originate from early design stages, so they are early but blurry and might chang.
2.) The "Summer of Flyers" rumour is a complex rumour with different parts. Some parts turned out true, some parts could have changed, some parts seem to turn out not true. True is that several flyers for many fractions are either released or in the works. Changed seems to be that flyers don't get a special supplement, but get integrated to the core rules. Wrong seems that it will be in this summer.
3.) The category you mentioned is not only "unreliable", but also "less confirmed" and "with less sources".

RetributionAngel, you have been a member since 2009, have made 9 posts... one of which is to come on here and be pissy with Kroot?

I hope we can tempt you out for more positive ends in the future. Y'know, so it doesn't make you seem combative.

So, the next 40K edition is going to be a skirmish based game as opposed to a massed combat game? Seems unlike GW, considering that their business model is built around a 14 year old who will probably be into the game for a couple months/years and will spend hundreds of dollars of his parents' money. Some of this stuff also sounds too good to be true like being able to assault and then shoot...that would effectively mean that a SM tactical squad could assault a squad of IG, win the combat, and then gun down another squad. It would also make vehicles/monstrous creatures ALOT less effective.

being a staff member of games workshop i can neither confirm nor deny any of the rumour or speculation that floats around on the web... what i can say though is that nobody will be dissapointed with the next 12 months of releases.
;D

Ah I just want Tau to get an update then I can play them more

Im really curious for info on necron releases.

Should we remove summer of flyers?

It was already proven false right?

Has there been any talk lately of plastic warhound titans? or any other plastic addition to the apocolypse range?

No it's cool. In December they're going to release a new tyranid codex printed with the blood of the guy that wrote the last one, and an FAQ written with his tears.

What's the tenative release date for 6th ed?

Any news or updates on Tyranids?

@theQuanz
I think its serposed to be about may/june?

@JoeyHeadwounds

Hang on, Why would they update nids? They can releace all the missing models but I don't see the point of them getting a new dex, if thats what you ment.

People pretty universally hate the current Tyranid codex, so it really could use an update (though in sixth edition). As for news, there were rumors of new Tyranid models, but I thought they were supposed to come out in August or September, which obviously didn't happen, so there you go.

I was actually more or less asking if Kroothawk had heard any more out of Harry on the rumor of a Tyranid second wave, as the last 40K release of this year or the first of next year.

I wouldn't ask about a out of date rumor, I would simply look it up.

There were rumours about a possible second wave of tyranids around October/November for a long time which turned out to be false. There were then rumours that it was deliberately delayed until GW legal got a clue on how to deal with Chapterhouse doing a Tervigon conversion kit, combined with a rumour that there will be a comb kit Tervigon/X with WD rules sometime soon. The latter was hinted at by the WD editor.

This is all too unconfirmed and unconcrete to be included in the first page list.
