Pretty obvious but ad mech gets a new book in a few weeks.. same release as the skitters 4 kits and a clam. should take us to june and the campaign kickoff which will carry to Fantasy relaunch in July.. so 2 more months of 40k..

one thing of particular note.. i can confirm 3 new models coming.. Nurgle GUO(plastic) Tzeench LoC (plastic) and a new Slaneesh KoS (plastic) release dates TBD

It begins...

**Formosa**

Boll.... i mean, dont believe it at all, not that the deamons are coming, that the rumour is "TBD"

Here is my rumour

Space marines getting primarchs for 40k, release TBD

Its coming but not saying when hahahahahaha, so i cant be wrong !

Cynasism ends

**cincydooley**

Why would you doubt this after they just released a plastic bloodthirster?

**manrogue**

Why i love Pretres rumour tracker-
Nightfury - Total rumors: (7 TRUE) / (9 FALSE) / (0 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)

He also claimed no new Eldar codex this year in March, so..... Yeah

**Warhams-77**

It was all said before and Nightfury is not giving any new information. That's fine but not helping much either

Hastings - Warseer - collected by DrBored

-In No Particular Order-

Adeptus Mechanicus Codex & models (full release)
Genestealer Cult Codex & models (Harelquin sized release)
Deathwatch Codex & models (Harelquin sized release)
Horus Heresy Standalone box game, on sale for a few months, then models become part of 30k range - Mark 4 + Cataphract armors featured.
Assassins Standalone box game,
on sale for a few months, then models become part of the 40k range.

Also of note:
Greater Daemons all complete
Dark Angels later in the year
Tzeentch later in the year

The "starter set" is in fact a standalone game, however I'll accept starter set as it does lead onto the main 30k game. I think it's safe to assume that 30k could/will have a different game mechanic to 40k, or it would be pretty pointless as a standalone game. Hence the reason that some boxes will contain rules for both 30 & 40k (if the rules weren't different they'd only include 1 set of rules.

It's not however a safety net for WFB, it's a replacement for lotr/hobbit on the shelves as AFAIK all of this is going direct only.

All infos were posts by Hastings collected from that thread - see DrBored's post at the bottom of the page

Thank's for posting though @OP Hopefully a plastic Lord of Change isnt that far away

That's kind of the point.

It doesn't take any sort of inside information to postulate that plastics might be coming for the others.

**Formosa**

indeed insaniak, indeed

**pretre**

Yeah, nightfury doesn't have the best record.

**Fayric**

To be fair, we are right now looking at a heap of leaked knight pics and the new IK codex release to turn official this weekend.
I dont see hastings or any other rumor monger preparing us for that.

**Azreal13**

Expecting them to inform us of things they aren't aware of is asking a bit much.

These guys aren't walking around the studio taking notes, they're passing on info that's been passed on to them, I'm sure both Harry and Hastings would be happy to admit they're not aware of everything that's going on all of the time.

**Nvs**

I was under the impression a lot of Hastings stuff was debunked by Sad Panda as well?

Only 1 more GD this year which will be the LoC but that's it for Tzeentch entirely?

I'd like to see a link to that.

I think he's referring to the Tzeentch Daemonkin Codex rumor, new codex is rumored to hit before the holidays this year I think. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it.

Nope, Panda stated that the stuff Hastings posted about will be a lot later than people on rumor sites and forums say it will be. According to Sad Panda a lot of the mentioned products will be 6+ months in the future - many in 2016. That post is already on the tracker.

People like this Birds in the Trees-person read the rumors from reliable sources and keep posting fake release lists again and again hoping they get something right. Like Insaniak pointed out, there is zero valueable information to be found in those posts.

Also Panda specificially debunked the Dark Angels/Sororitas vs Tzeentch campaign rumor which was doing the rounds after Hastings posted this large batch of info in February. The campaign rumor was not from Hastings though. Tzeentch and Dark Angels were

**pretre**

I talked to someone who knows Vela and he says that BitT is a legit source and that Vela just doesn't vet his sources prior to posting. So at least he isn't making it up, someone else is.

**Desubot**

A non korn or nurgle release?

i think i need salt. lots of it.

**Ignatius-Grulgor**

I'll believe it when I see it, though a lot of companies do seem to be picking up on 'not greater daemons' of late, so if we were to assume GW is aware of other companies it might be the push they needed.

**manrogue**

Could be sooner rather than later -

So I have a feeling we are looking at another of the minis first – codex last armies.

Moving on, we get next week’s teaser:

Die Sohne des Nurgle… translates to: The Son of Nurgle

It looks like Grandfather Nurgle is shambling our way!

**Warhams-77**

Just an article in White Dwarf, even the paint splatter teaser is not evidence enough they will take a break with the Cult Mechanicus release. Such a big seller will not be thrown on the market in such a way

BLAM see what i mean

if it isnt korn or nurgle then its probably not happening (for shame really :/ love me some slannesh)

**adamsouza**

Unless there is a CODEX: NURGLE DAEMONKIN to go with it, I can't get excited about it

**ashikenshin**

I kinda hope there is a codex: nurgle daemonkin to go with it. Will make one of my friends very happy.

**Azreal13**

It'll have to go a long way to beat this chap..

**adamsouza**

If memory serves the new plastic Bloodthirster is smaller than the Forge World one, so I think that model may still reign as Big Daddy Nurgle.

**Azreal13**

The new plastic BT is a midget, considering the price. I was genuinely shocked at how small it is, other than a more expansive pose, there's really not much between the new BT and the old plastic DP kit.

(Talking relatively here, not that I think it's the size of a Terminator or anything.)

The FW GUO is smaller than the Glottkin though

**Desubot**

You mean shorter and rounder.

But with bags more character than the Blobkin.

**adamsouza**

I'm amazed they haven't given the Glotkin 40K stats to get rid of those models

Couldn't disagree more. I think the Glottkin is a lot more characterfull than FW GUO, The latter is very genreic and even boring imo
