Tbh even if there was going to be an announcement, GW have probably seen this thread and decided to withhold the info just to mess with us.

**Elessar**

Space Hulk will sell out, BECAUSE it's Limited. Then, surprise surprise, it gets an extension to the release (Laser Range Finder, Resin Basing Kit, anyone?) and we have a semi-permanent addition to the range.

Plastic floor will be new. Slot together, modular, plastic floor.

If they were to include Old Ones, they would have to add them with the Orkz, since Old Ones are just da brain boyz.

**Great Unclean One**

Oooh, I know what it might be. The next codex that GW are going to release is going to be Space Wolves. That might be it is they count it as a new race. Heard it on 40k Radio or D6 Generation, can't remember which but they said it's going to be the next codex that Gw are going to release.

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this.

Actually, Orks weren't even in existence during the age of the Old Ones. The Krork(another Green Skin Race that have been postulated to be the predecessors to both the Kroot and the Orks) were. Read the Necron Codex, it's a bit more informative about the Old Ones.

I am guessing we will know in a few short hours whether it was all BS or not. Just to confirm it I talked to a completely different employee (same store though) and he confirmed it as a "new army" and believed it would be Ad Mech. I literally live in Chicago but unable to make it to Games Day-is anyone out there going? I think I'm going to be following the Bell of Lost Souls coverage.

LOL, it's NOT a 40k race at all.

Guess we can lock this.

**BrookM**

Don't jump on the table too soon.

**JohnHwangDD**

Nope. If CD are getting theirs, then my DoW will be getting mine.

**Jungle0731**

Well I'd be really interested to see some new CD minis but I really was hoping we would get surprised/rewarded with a new alien race in 40K.

**Uriels_Flame**

Nope. Just rewarded with a price increase - but you already got that silly.

**BrookM**

Euphoria will turn to disgust and nerd rage when people see what FW will charge for a block of Chaos Dwarves.

**Flashman**

New plastics for other Imperial Guard regiments! Be prepared for Cadians and Catachans to be dropped like a hot scone if Steel Legion are released in this manner. Personally, I'd like to see some plastic Tallarns

EDIT - Also feeds the rumour that Necrons are coming next year.

**BrookM**

Valhallans most likely, seeing as they are one of the few old pewter regiments to get some new art.

**Cosmic**

I heard about new Imperial Guard regiments on belloflostsouls.net.

"...Imperial Guard will be a full plastic range in time. This WILL include various IG regiments."

That's enough for me to grab a lasgun and charge at a Squiggoth!

**Agamemnon2**

"In time" makes it pretty meaningless, though. We don't know anything we didn't know before, really.

doubt it very much.

Doubt it very much.

I would think there might be some connection between why you are, I think, wrong with regards to those last two points.

**hammerofulric**

11 pages and then there was nothing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

**aflax1**

Arbitorium codex?

**BrookM**

Adeptus Arbiters.

**gorgon**

You...you mean...the redshirt was wrong?!?

**Kungfuhustler**

Not wrong, Gorgon, just not right. You can always trust the redshirts, they work for GW.

**BrookM**

Filthy sock puppets, every one of them!

**person person**

It WAS Chaos dwarves!!!

*taking a deep breath*

Yes...yes of course you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. They probably announced the new 40K army in code somehow, so no one actually noticed. Like a riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma inside a jelly doughnut. You know.

**jab4962**

I don't think that "We're not working on a new army this year" is any sort of code. An interview with a GW official shows that.

**ShadowAngel159**

The heck w/ the Imperium and Chaos updates. What about the xenos? They need love too, GW!

**LunaHound**

Sea of Chaos

**Miguelsan**

Reading this thread makes me wonder if, either we are your pitch and torches mob ready to burn somebody at the cry of blasphemer! or that GW is run by a bunch of monkeys in suits.

M.

PD: Probably both

**person person**

AGREED
