Y’know, I’ve got similar sources as Tasty, and here’s things they’ve told me…
- Now this Emporor rumour (God there are so many) is very interesting. Here’s the gist: The Emperor does die (physically, anyway). As prophesizeed all the way back in 1st ed (WWWAAAGGGHHH the Orks!!!! supplement), the Waaaggghhh!!! comes sweeping through human space and threatens to engulf Earth. En route, they overrun the Crimson Fists’ homeworld, and the destruction of that oft- destroyed chapter finally becomes canon. In order to save Earth, they Emperor vacates his mortal shell for good and contests directly with Mork and Gork in the warp. One of the Ork Gods is destroyed in the psychic conflict, the Waaaggghhh! is broken, and IG amd marines sweep the demoralized greenskins back to the borders of huma space. Who remains as sole deity of the Orks? The Orks aren’t sure. A religious schism fractures the entire race, dissolving the previous clan allegiances. Instead of clans, all Orks everywhere are either Gorkers or Morkers.
Exciting stuff, eh?
What's next, an Ork Ecclesiarchy?
That one I don't believe.
Either way, at least they're advancing the story. ... Right?

Oh well, time to find something else to do with my time for the next 4 years. Here's hoping 7th edition isn't a pile of crap I guess.
And I'm sure all the Space Marine players out there will be absolutely thrilled that their armies are all supposed to babysit the Tau now.
Yeah, as a Tau player I'm just excited beyond words about the Space Marines protecting my army...I'll believe this noise when I see it.
And hey, for the tournament players, why not just stick using 5th edition or some hybridization between 5th and 6th (if indeed they do this) and work with that? I mean, it's not like GW has any say in tournaments, and enough of you fellas have been playing for...decades so you should be able to compile something...

These rumours are complete fabrications. Nothing major has changed in the 40K universe as we know it via the Black Library books the past few years or the Codex books which have been 'written with 6th edition in mind' from a background perspective. The rulebook isn't even a major source of (new) background material, it just recompiles most of the stuff already written so that each new gamer that picks up the game gets to know the basic storyline. I can more easily believe those ridiculous rules about allies and random charge lengths (which both might ruin the game entirely) but there's no way GW changes the background so drastically. All this talk about the timeline progressing is nonsense. It's been the last decade of the 41st millennium forever now and it will continue to be so.
Besides, I don't understand this talk about 'being closer to 2nd edition'. Have these guys who spin this crap even played 2nd edition? Where's the rumours about the AP system going away, movement value & overwatch & wargear and psychic power decks coming back, sustained fire dice, lascannons etc causing 2D6 wounds, armies consisting of nothing but Space Wolf Terminators with assault cannons, etc? That was 2nd edition to me. How are allies and random charge length in any way a resemblance of 2nd edition?

They have Tyrion Lannister on their team, the sources are already dead...
Edit: Tyrion must have told each source the marines would ally with either: tyranids, tau or dark eldar. I guess he now knows who is getting thrown in the dungeon.

Actually, I've heard the Orks conquer earth in a new Waagghh, steal the Golden Throne--and begin laying waste to the rest of the Imperium with it.
Some interesting stuff--the Tau thing is really strange. Then again, the only fluff I'm used to regarding Tau is their 3 year old-like naivety or comedic backdrop in other codices.

I do love the idea of moving the timeline forward but it just doesn't seem likely. I think the Necron & BA as allies is the equivalent of adding a trollface.jpg to the rumor; I think it's unlikely for GWS to incorporate a sarcastic meme from a roundly-mocked writer as part of their core ruleset.

If anything I could see the 'major discovery' being a STC, if even a partial one. There are some AdMech novels coming out, although from talking to the BL authors it seems that there is not a lot of coordination between BL and GW game design.

Well, to be honest once you read the Necron codex the one-time-non-aggression-pact with the Blood Angels doesn't sound so terrible. There's a lot of stuff about Necrons being concerned that if the Tyranids run rampant through all the primitive species they'll become too strong for even the Necrons to wipe out, so they'll try to fight the Tyranids where they see them. In that particular case the Imperials were already there fighting the same splinter fleet. I think this same type of 'unlikely allies' story has been written multiple times about the Imperials and Tau, and the Imperials and Eldar. Two sides that don't trust eachother or even hate eachother fighting a common enemy. Sometimes they turn on the temporary allies after the battle, sometimes they don't.
That said absolutely nothing in the Necron codex implies that they would ever make an alliance with any other species. They allied with the C'tan once and after the war turned on them too. There's a few lines about some Tomb Worlds having human planets as slave systems but I doubt that's what the BoK spin doctors had in mind when they said Blood Angels and Necrons can ally.

BoK has a good track record. Pretty much everything they post is gak, but that's GW's fault, not theirs.
Wait, what? It's GW's fault BoK is making up obviously bogus rumors? How in the everloving hell can you reach the conclusion GW is responsible for a person posting fake rumors? Have we just thrown logic completely out the window in favor of blind hate towards GW at this point?

If true, it'd be a really poor move on their part... and move more of the competitive gaming scene over to warmahordes than was already migrating there.
As a fantasy player, 8th edition has huge flaws, and replicating those in 40k 6th edition would be a mistake.

40k is the most popular war game in the world by a huge margin why would they make this drastic of changes to the system after such a huge dip in sales with Fantasy. This makes no since to me.

Remember, it's still rumours.
Fantasy was a dying game before 8th. Therefore, it made sense to try something fairly radically "new" to revive the corpse. May not have worked, but I can see that sticking to the "old" Fantasy didn't make sense, as it was on a downhill curve before that.
40K's (as far as I know) not as desperately in trouble, so mucking it all up seems rather unwise. Than again, who knows. Other companies have shot their prize horses before in the attempt to "be different" (e.g. D&D 4th, etc.. )

I agree the BA/Cron team up is proof that this is BS. Yes, they teamed up ONCE, they aren't suddenly super, best friend butt-buddies. Troll rumors with a sprinkling of real thrown in, I'm sure. I don't hold much stock in this. I believed it up until the allies part-allies in fantasy are based in team games, not 1v1. If BoK's rumors were allies in this sense though...it's possible. But no allies within a single list. GW swore they wouldn't do that again.
