There are many out there who disbelieve my rumours and news but I have a good lead noting that gw will completely get rid of one of the 40k races permanently at the end of the year/beginning of next year though the race is not confirmed 2 names have cropped up during the conversations. One of which not alot of people will see coming.

Did any of your last batch turn out to be true?

Not one.

At least nothing that wasn't already in play.

necronspurs2012 - Total rumors: (4 TRUE) / (9 FALSE) / (0 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)

Of those true, they are all to do with army updates that had long since already been predicted.

GW won't be 'axing' an army / race, that'd be a huge race.

At absolute worst they'd just 'abandon' it. No new kits, no new codex, skating along as other races get updated and new models whilst they do not. I.E. what Sisters of Battle went through for ages.

Aren't there rumors for all the lesser known races getting new things this year? SoB being the exception.

They will completely pull them from production as if they werent there due to major decline in sales. Ive been told the race that people wouldnt expect are doing terrible in sales are proven to be worst 40k or fantasy army currently stocked in stores due to sales and gaming popularity.

My money's on Space Marines.

Daemons could be rolled back into Chaos Marines

No dont be funny orstupid.

Agreed. They don't sell.

Sorry, let's get back to the completely sensible discussion of which 40k army is going to be axed this year, prompted by an individual with no good record of providing rumors.

Sisters and necrons are the two. It will happen between november and february.

Sisters I could see as a remote possibility, but GW haven't really been doing anything to drive sales for them so it wouldn't surprise me that their sales aren't good.

They wouldn't axe a relatively new almost completely plastic range.

I'd wager rolling in one of the sub marines books into the space marines dex.

Killing Sisters would be expected.

Maybe Dark Angels because they seem to be "meh"?

Daemons due to demonology.

In other news, I have it from a generally reliable source that some codexes will be updated next year.

Nothing to see here. Moving on.
