Okay were getting dark eldar whats the order for things that are coming from GW this year? and next? both for fantasy and 40k? Any help is appreciated thanks.

**filbert**

Who knows? Seriously, beyond one or two educated guesses, everything else you hear is likely to be either false rumour or wishlisting.

**Zatsuku**

Orcs and Goblins get an army book next year, as do Grey Knights. There you go.

**ruminator**

Dark Eldar a sop to 40k fans. Fantasy heavy for the next year to build on new rules. Tombkings and ogre kingdoms the likeliest contenders before Orcs and Goblins.

40k maybe a grey knights/inquisition type army codex at some point next year.

**Lokirfellheart**

I heard about Necrons february, grey knights soon after and then Tomb kings and Ogre kingdoms. Never heard about Orcs and Goblins though.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Sorry forgot to mention, I also heard about Tau. i thought there were going to be lots of Outdated 40k releases, but I guess having new rules, fantasy armies make more sense.

**daedalus**

The only thing I've heard enough rumors on to make me believe that it's actually coming is Grey Knights. Granted, quantity is not quality, so who knows?

**Phloop**

From my lurking on Rumour boards and blogs the general feeling is that its Grey Knights, (Necron/Tau), Inquisition, (Necron/Tau). That's the most common pattern for 40k I've seen. Fantasy wise, it's all over the place: but Woodelves, Ogers and Tomb Kings are thrown about the most. But it's mostly all wishlisting, educated guesses and praying to the miniwar gods.

Orcs and Goblins have very strong rumors over on Warseer (and probably here but I can't be arsed to look):

Warseer, Fantasy News and Rumors board, Thread Title: Orcs and Goblins Rumours Mark II, by user Ney:

Book seems slated for a Feb/March release, written by Jeremy Vetock and apparently already done! (strongly hinted at by hastings and harry, and also seems in line with the known release schedule)

We keep all current SC(that includes Grom in his chariot!) and get Wurzzag and two goblin characters both heroes one of which is a forrest gobling for a totalt of 15 lord choices and 11 hero choices!

We get a new model, the Arachnarok spider. It can be takes as a mount for a common gobling great shaman, or it can be a rare choice. As a rare choice it will have options for some warmachine thingie or other special rule in that regard.

Common goblins will get some sort of a unit upgrade. hastings hinted at something that has two handweapons but is not an assasin. (I am still a bit unclear whether the upgrade is the new Special Char or a seperate upgrade like the DE assasin)

(Common) Goblin characters will be able to ride Giant and Gigantic spiders, so an all spider army should be viable (hastings).

Also we are getting another new unit besides the Arachnarok, though it is unclear what it is at the moment.

We get some new plastics, so far people agree on we get 5 sets:
Besides the spider, the best bets so far are Savage Orcs incl boars, with the remaining two to be named. One which could be the new as of yet missing unit.

Harry has posted some strong indications of a change to Army book format with this release (also in that same thread).

Orcs and Goblins, Tomb Kings, Grey Knights and Necrons are the next four. They may do another SM codex somewhere in there but I doubt it.

"Grey Knights" *are* another SM Codex.

**Retrias**

shouldn't it be a mixed codex?
being
"Daemonhunter"
having the forces of inquisition with them?

i believe next year would be my GW spending year

No, GK are being released seperately (no inquisition, Daemonhosts or anything that was actually fun in the DH codex) from the Inquisition codex which is also floating around the rumor mill. Also, thanks for pointing out they are another SM codex. I didn't even realise. The GK will be boring as hell, at any rate.

Sounds right to me.

Orcs and Goblins are the next WFB book, this being the beginning of the bold new direction for these tomes.

What do you mean by bold new direction?
