Hi guys! Tyrannids have already come out but some other rumours are bouncing around the intranet. Here is what I read on http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130300

JAN: Tyranids {already released}
FEB: Dwarfs
MAR: Imperial Guard

Also based upon current information, the remaining 40k codexes will release in alternating imperial and xenos releases:
Tyranids
imperial guard
orks
blood angels
dark eldar
space wolves
necrons
grey knights

this covers all current outstanding codexes that have not been touchedin 6th edition. (as much as people hate it, everyone will have a new codex).

No independent deathwatch codex mentioned for third arm of the inquisition, may appear as a supplement to space marines around the ork release, maybe.

just as an add to my release schedule post… i’ve had some unconfirmed info that gw is targeting two 40k release months for each non 40k release month. If true, then we could see eight 40k months out of 2014…

Are you the source for these rumors or are you reposting from somewhere else?

Q4-14: Dark Eldar, ???

You should treat each quarter as less reliable than the one preceding it. Q4 would certainly allow 1-2 more releases. Based on this list the following armybooks/codeces would still be left un-updated for both systems:

40K:
Blood Angels
Necrons
Grey Knights

WFB:
Skaven
Beastmen

If you throw in one of those two WFB books leftover into Q4, and it's almost entirely updated by end of 2014!

And no battle sisters.

Sadly this makes the rumor more likely...

Battle Sisters just got a codex. Either way, I think this one can be put to bed as it is an old rumor.

Old rumour you say?

If he had posted that, it wouldn't have been an old rumor, now would it?

Larry Vela wrote:Have no fear, the stunties are on the march - headed your way in February. Here is the rundown of new kits coming down the mountain.

Latest word speaks of:

Dwarfs - February (I'd bet on February 8th)

The Kits:

Plastic Tunneling Vehicle
Plastic infantry heavy armor unit kit (dual-build)
Plastic infantry light armor unit kit (dual-build)

Plastic War Altar
Plastic New VERY large gun/cannon
Plastic Beefier Gyrocopter

Clampack Lord

No finecast was mentioned at all. If you look at what needs plastic kits in the existing Dwarf range, and look to the old-unit/new unit splits in the Dark Elves release for inspiration, it's not too hard to figure out what's coming.

These latest set descriptions dovetail almost exactly with Spanish rumors from early November.

Keep in mind of course that Larry Vela has a pretty miserable track record right now.

I'm interested in getting back into WFB and with Dwarves, but have been out of that scene for a long time.

So, having said that, has someone figured out what's coming?

Isn't the Dorf army book the oldest by far now?

I think Brets or Wood Elves might be older.

Thanks for that - it is appreciated!

I notice that in 40KRadio, you have two rumours that are mutually exclusive. Dwarves can't be released both in February and March, so how would you go about tallying that score?

Obviously it would go to sudden death overtime.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Then they each get at least one chance to score a field goal?

Unless it is a two month release like Dark Elves was. Given the number of old kits/metal kits in the line. It would need a two month release to cover everything.

**Formosa**

Wow stuckmonkey is pretty terrible with his predictions..

All the Dwarf rumors are pending, meaning they haven't been scored at all yet. Once they either are or aren't released, they would be scored appropriately, I think.

**THEDARK1RI5ES**

Wow! Thanks guys for all posting!

Yes they can. Can't remember the faction, (Lizards?) but a Fantasy release a few months ago, got 2 month release. Part I and Part II sort of to speak.

So it has been done before, precedent has been done.

Well, if the release appeared in either of those two months, one would be true and the other false. If the release was spread over both months both would be true and if the army wasn't released in either they would both be false. Not sure why that would be a problem.

It's like "predicting" twelve different release months for Imperial Guard this year - most likely you'd get one true and 11 false, which would give you a fairly appropriate accuracy rating.

Brets is the oldest by a year and some.

Dwarfs January 2006
Wood Elves September 2005
Bretonnia February 2004

Edit: As of next month, the Bretonnia book is a decade old.

Looks like a couple guys covered it for me already.

I also find it very interesting to see that kind of thing in someone's tracking record. It shows that either things change behind the scenes or that they throwing darts blindfolded.

Maybe GW will release a 10th anniversary collectors edition armybook without changing any rules.

Limited Edition, for only $99.99, of course

**RiTides**

Thanks for the compiled rumors, pretre!

**Kroothawk**

The Dakka rumour round-up http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/371300.page has Tyranids in January, Dwarfs in February and IG around March since at least 15th November (last edit). Just saying.

**CommanderRyalis**

Oh great I just got done with Christmas, and GW has come up with a way for met to spend even more of my money

(my two primary armies are Dwarves and IG)

**Mountain-Breaker**

I am very much looking forward to the return of the Dwarfs! And to see all of their new units and potential tactics. I hope though that there isnt much change to the Runes. I also would like to see the Lords and Heroes choices, maybe older choices will be returning?
