I think it's the long-range forecasting angle that made me think of him. Most of the modern fakes are focused on what's coming up next.

Both systems have only three regular rule writer. The writers for 40k are Robin Cruddace & Simon Grant. Fantasy has Phil Kelly & Jeremy Vetock. Jervis Johnson is in both games the senior writer.

Jesus, I really hope Cruddance doesn't write the Necron Codex, he did such a bad job on the CSM codex... If he does the Necron Codex too, I will be running out of Armies to play.

Also, who is Simon Grant?

Phil Kelly did the CSM codex.

Yeah, it's a bit like saying "The next release from GW will have a few plastic kits released at the same time!". It's really easy to "predict" things that happen all the time.

And here we are with a GK codex with no new models

The next CSM codex is in the "pre-production". Adam Troke was commissioned to find out how to represent the legions (cult too) in the new Codex.

OH HOW I WANT THIS TO BE TRUE.

We've had every 'rumour' for CSMs say this since 4th.

Yep, we remember him.

Visions is a product of GW's lack of understanding of their market. there just isn't much intreast in pictures of painted minis. we can get that online. what they should have done is packaged the magazine with fiction as well. I suspect people would have gladly paid to get a magazine that featured short stories set in the warhammer fantasy and 40k universes, with their gorgously painted minis serving as illustrations.

I was a MASSIVE fan of Inferno Magazine, with their great illustrations and fictions, especially of more niche areas of the universe. I even picked up quite a few copies of Warhammer Monthly, which was just comic stories. That was definitely the way to keep me buying GW product.

Pity they stopped doing those.

These are all "Captain Obvios" rumors.
There are only 3 40K paperback codices left to update, so GW could drop to 1 per 3 months and still get them done by next summer.

Yeah, that's the worst rumour I have ever heard.
With the current release-rate I was actually hoping for everything to be updated in the coming months.
September: Dark Eldar
October: Blood Angels
November: Necrons
December: Maybe new/more Battleforces?

Stretching it to next summer would be terrible.

After this, they could restart with CSM, the oldest codex in the new ''format''.

It would make sense to leave the new ''format'' codices for while and restart with Fantasy.

I almost forgot about ghost.. Deep in my memory it was suppressed for a while..
