Yeah, I spoilered them to keep them from clogging us up.

Big tease or user error?

User error...

Links are now fixed.

Photos apparently confirm that there is a upright Warg, quite possibly a Warg version of a Werebeast...

Just noticed the Deathwatch metal kit is no longer on GW's site, was there last week.

**pretre**

That's weird, but probably unrelated as the DW stuff under this rumor is not set until after June 2013.

**stinkyjunk**

I too just noticed that the Chaos Greater Daemon of Nurgle, Chaos Greater Daemon Slaanesh, Plaguebearers of Nurgle Command (as expected), Plaguebearers of Nurgle (as expected since old metals ones), and the Pack of Skulls are no longer available to be added to the cart on the US GW site.

Does this mean that these 2 Greater Daemons are actually right around the corner and this list is suddenly in doubt?

They are in Finecast (for the Greater Daemons) and plastic (for the Plaguebearers and pack of skulls) under new releases. Most likely they have not updated the Chaos Space Marine Summoned Daemons page because CSM are probably losing Summoned Daemons in their new codex.

**GiraffeX**

Dark Angel terminators can no longer be added to the basket.

Edit: Also some of the Eldar Jetbikes as well

**pretre**

Also not something that would be part of this list, since this list is post June 2013.

**Lt.Soundwave**

We can hope : /

**Element206**

holy crap! What a list of stuff! Makes me feel better now that I had to sell off half of my unpainted unassembled eldar....

**Kroothawk**

Guess this also belongs here (first posted by Brometheus here):

Faeit 212 wrote:"Those aren't product codes, they're image serials which are later used to print the boxes / blisters.

This gives the model names credibility, but not necessarily the dates.

GW Packaging is produced (graphically, not physically printed) for the most part, well in advance, to make sure that there's always room "last minute" if there are changes to codexes and a new model package is needed.

Bear in mind, that some instances of "produced" mean nothing more than an original photo of a model being photoshoped onto a new background and formatted for one of several standard dimensions. I'm not suggesting custom oil paintings done or anything.

So to summarize:
All of those items are in the pipeline to get Imagery of some kind produced and formatted for the appropriate box/blister it will appear in. Like the Eldar from 2010 though (which still haven't seen the light of day), that in no way means much when it comes to release dates, beyond the vague promise of "sometime in the future."

Talks for the summer campaign are beginning though, so I'll keep you in the loop for those as it unfolds -- and yes, some of the models from that list would make a lot of sense with what's in the works so far."

Explains the odd number code.

**aka_mythos**

Not to draw too much attention to it, but that implicates the source as being someone in packaging production.

They'll call it 'The GC' and people will either love it or hate it.

**H.B.M.C.**

Well the Chibi-Hawk has no body. The Space-Guppy has no wings. I predict the Gale Claw will have no cockpit!

I plan to call it the Dorothy.

As for it being a packaging list, perhaps mf is multi-function, or that that model will be direct only, and use one of the plain white boxes?

**Anvildude**

The Gale Claw shall have no Tail!

**Xeriapt**

I reckon it will be a special stealthing flyer, will be sold as a flight stand and some imagination in a box.

**notprop**

My money's on no engines, just extra skull ports.

If you closely read the previous set of rumors describing the models, you'll find some clues.

**notprop**

On the basis that these shock release leaks tend to get done between 9am and 4pm Monday to Friday, I'd say it's bob from the marketing and promotion department.

**pretre**

Or the fact that a lot of us surf the internet at work.

(Sorry to dredge this back up, but I just got around to reading the back half of this thread.)

Here's the breakdown of armies at the Golden Throne GT from a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.goldenthronegt.com/?page_id=364

Tyranids and Dark Eldar were the two best performing armies (with the exception of that one guy who brought Dark Angels and finished 8th). That Tyranids were the top army at a tourney that was unanimously criticized for not having enough terrain should be fairly strong evidence against your claim. Admittedly, one data point isn't conclusive, but it's better than a raw assertion.

It looks like Tyranids were the best average army (based on Battle Points) at a recent fairly large RTT in Pasadena as well.

**Darklight**

Has the Void Raven Bomber been cancelled? I didn't see it on the list, and thought it was coming out shortly.

**Slinky**

This list supposedly shows things after June next year - please read thread more carefully

**aka_mythos**

That list is all for this time next year... So it means it's either due out sooner or later.

**gingerchris**

I emailed a friend in gw hq regarding the apparent "leaked" document and was rewarded with the following reply,

"Hi Chris,

Yes, we've seen this - unfortunately for all the hobbyists out there that want to know what is coming it isn't real! "

this leads me to beleive that clearly some one is geting fired or was and had sent out a rather sensetive email on their last day in the ofice

**pretre**

Wait, what?

So they denied it and that means that it was clearly an internal leak and someone got fired? Rather big leap there.

No answer you got out of a GW employee would have illuminated you any more than you already were.

**Compel**

They could be telling the truth, from a certain point of view. Like the leaked ruleset.

"This is not the upcoming release list." - True

If it is, as people have been discussing, box size allocations for packaging... Which could mean that it's done a long time before maybe the models are finished. For example, a lot of the hobbit stuff could be for the second and third films....

**pretre**

They could also be lying. The point is that it doesn't help to ask them. No answer they give is going to give any clarity unless they suddenly press release and say 'Yeah, that list is totally true. Here's our copy with official letterhead.'
