So Tasty Taste has posted that he will start releaseing a number of rumors he has saved up about 6th Edition and Chaos tommorow.
This is what he had to say so far.

June-July 6th Edition

Sept-Oct Chaos Space Marines

Sprinkle in some flyers, buildings, and that is all you will see from the 40k front for the year.

He also seems to agree with Stickmonkey about no new DA until after January at least.

Here is his Original posting.

If true im glad that Chaos isnt going to be the last Codex of 5th but the first of 6th. Guess we will just have to see what he has to say tommorow.

Her is the Full post for the work blocked.... Since I was asked to post it.

The last six months have been how can we say…

interesting when it has come to rumors concerning our beloved Warhammer 40k.

With the so call “Hobbit” rumor lock down, reliable rumors have been hard to come by. Well finally, I am about to bring you a ray of light in the otherwise dark age of rumors, but before we get to any rumors let me start off by saying that I was wrong.

I was partially wrong about a certain rumor I’ve been repeating for the last year or so.

The main reason for the error is that I assumed Games Workshop would never have only one 40k codex for an entire calender year. Sadly, GW has a habit of disappointing…

So I want start by adding my voice to the venerable rumor monger Stickmonkey when he recently made mention, that Dark Angels weren’t coming till at least early next year.

40k players will only get one codex this year and that is Chaos Space Marines– along with 6th edition of course.

So the time-table has changed and looks like this:

June-July 6th Edition

Sept-Oct Chaos Space Marines

Sprinkle in some flyers, buildings, and that is all you will see from the 40k front for the year.

Now what about 6th edition and Chaos Space Marine rumors you might ask?

Well I got them and it is time for the other rumor mongers to join in.

I am pretty sure a few people have been siting on rumors for quite some time.

Like the pieces to a puzzle, if only everyone shows there pieces, then we will create a clear 6th edition picture.

So with the “gauntlet” thrown, I won’t be posting anything about 6th and the CSM codex today.

Instead I am going to wait one day to see if we can get others to shake that rumor tree first.

**deejaybainbridge**

So what he's saying is If you show me yours I'll show you mine.

Come on just a quick look while no ones looking

Should he be lifting the lid today, or tomorrow?

Edit: that would be disappointing if it was only 1 codex for the whole year, what a way to celebrate Warhammer 40k's 25th anniversary.

**Kirasu**

If thats true with only 1 more 40k book this year then that's pretty crazy how slow they're releasing codices for their flagship game

**Chowderhead**

Tastytaste is not someone I particularly trust, after he slammed the DCMs for supposedly doing something that we don't actually do (protecting a certain dakkanaut wherever he goes).

I don't believe his "Rumors" (He probably got them from fething Ghost or something).

**RiTides**

The rumors sound quite plausible to me. And this:

Kirasu wrote:If thats true with only 1 more 40k book this year then that's pretty crazy how slow they're releasing codices for their flagship game

Was true for fantasy the year they released 8th edition, so...

**Kirasu**

Yeah but Fantasy sells less than space marines.. so it's not really critically important to GW as a company. Without 40k there is no GW so that's why I'm surprised they aren't pushing more out for it

**Medium of Death**

Sounds like utter gak.

Probably just wants more blog views.

When was the last time Stickmonkey was correct?

**Vampirate of Sartosa**

Yaaaaawn.

**SickSix**

This isn't in the existing thread because___________?

**aka_mythos**

...it was closed.

**unmercifulconker**

aka_mythos wrote:...it was closed.

Case closed

**Alpharius**

...because there was no more 'news' or even 'rumors' to discuss, and what was being discussed could have been done in 40K General.

From the looks of it, there's not much new here either, so this thread's already on the clock.

Maybe?

**Medium of Death**

EDIT: Nicorex, shove this in the OP will you? Help the work blocked... and deny blog views.

WARNING to everyone expect the unexpected when it comes to GW– 6th edition is not going to be the 5th edition quick fix many people were hoping for.

This is hilarious, he wants people to post rumours first. What an arsepiece.

Got any figures to back that up?

I think we'd all be fine with it.

There's only a request for Rumors in his "so-called" rumor post. And that's against the News/Rumors policies.

Sink it, Alphy!

**Nicorex**

A) I did lable it as a Runor Tease...
B) There is actually rumors....
C) Yes Tasty does do a bit of "Ohh you have to keep coming back to read the rest" stuff.. I assume its to increase blog traffic....
D) Actually with 6th in June/July, and Chaos in Sept/Oct.. Plus the hint at new terrain.. These are newer rumors that I had not seen. So mabye not everyone else has either...
E) I was just trying to pass some info along.. Close if you feel you must...

**Puscifer**

This has me interested, but I'll keep an eye on it.

**ShumaGorath**

I hate announcements of announcements.

**bhsman**

People can hate on Tasty for being all showy about his rumors, maybe even rightfully so, but he gets away with it because he's usually right. See: Grey Knights, Necrons.

**Puscifer**

My head is Assploding with all these rumors.

FFS - Can we get a definite answer with no build up!!!

**Kroothawk**

First exclusive news for subscribers of BoK:
The next Codex will be accompaiend by new plastic kits

While his tone may be annoying and his current rumours are less than what we already know, we should keep an eye on future tidbits. Sometimes he has rumours that turn out true (like Sororitas getting a WD Codex only).

**Insurgency Walker**

Still more talk of flyers. The flyer rumors talk of SM and Ork flyers, while the Codex missing flyers for Necrons and Nids are no where to be seen. Something is off.

**Breotan**

The guestimating going on an the Seattle Bunker is July for the RULEBOOK. Sep for the starter set. Oct/Nov for Chaos.

Mind you there's nobody with an actual "in" at GW, just a few of us trying to work out how 6th would actually be trickled out based on previous experience.

**unmercifulconker**

I think all the flyers are supposed to be released, not just the ork an sm ones.

**Insurgency Walker**

unmercifulconker wrote:I think all the flyers are supposed to be released, not just the ork an sm ones.

So that would be 4 kits, 5 if they did an Eldar flyer, based on the various rumors. 5 kits sounds like more than a sprinkle when combined with buildings. Perhaps flyers will be the new meta for 6th Ed

. I see your transport spam, and counter with flying transport spam

**unmercifulconker**

Oh yeah, eldar need a flyer too don't they.

Oh wait and so do Tau, and what about demons?

Now I am confused

**SickSix**

Wow, this guy is a D-bag. He wants others to show their hand first and a blatant attempt to increase his 'follower' count on social media sites.

**Khornate25**

Chaos in september/october ? Hell, hoped to see them in summer. Anyway, would probably have been disapointing, knowing GW tendancy to screw anything which isn't Loyalist SM. Maybe DA will at least be good.

I ask you to release a rumor.
You give me said rumor.
I say "yep, that's what I heard too!"
I now appear credible.

Tastytaste's rumors are hit and miss, but when they hit they're pretty dead on. I wouldn't count Stickmonkey as a source of anything though; I can't recall much he was right about aside from "Necrons will get stuff at some point" which was vague enough to be true.

Khornate25 wrote:Chaos in september/october ? Hell, hoped to see them in summer. Anyway, would probably have been disapointing, knowing GW tendancy to screw anything which isn't Loyalist SM. Maybe DA will at least be good.

Yes, because Dark Eldar, Necrons, IG and pretty much every codex that isn't Tyranids was "screwed over" by GW.
