Tyranid Rumors - Jan 2014
Battle for Iyanden Warzone FALSE
Poster says that it will be accompanied by three releases:
Hierophant / Viciator Kit (WOW!) FALSE
Zoanthrope / Venomthrope Kit FALSE
Pyrovore / Biovore Kit FALSE

Viciator?s are bio-titans similar in stature to Hierophants. Their carapace is covered in grizzly barbs and hooks and their long legs help them stride across the battlefield. Hanging under their thorax is a large devourer weapon-symbiote, as the Viciator lurches forward thousands upon thousands of worms are coaxed out of the weapon by powerful bio-electric jolts. Viciator?s have a terrifiying fanged maw, with-in resides a symbiote that could be more dangerous than the brainleech worms it harbours. A strange creature is bound inside its mouth, and when opened, the beast will shoot concentrated blasts of acid that can chew through armour with ease. Vehicles that the worms are unable to penetrate are often given an entrance after this weapon symbiote melts a hole through its hull. FALSE

Dark Eldar Rumors - Sept 2014
via a reader on Faeit 212
Just listened to this weeks 40K Radio podcast - and they mention briefly that Dark Eldar are confirmed for pre-release next weekend (20th) and release in two weekends (27th). TRUE

They follow it up with their usual caveat of "this is not a fact", but also joke that "everything that is not designated a fact is, ultimately, a fact".


Ok, it seems a nasty rumor is making its way around the interwebs. Many forums are saying 40k 7th is switching over to % based lists. We are here to 100% confirm that is not happening. TRUE

We have always told you guys the truth about everything in the past 12 months. Our source has been spot on with everything from release schedules to what each army will have.

So please rest easy knowing that force org will still be in the game.

These are facts, not rumors from your trusted source for insider 40k news, not 40krumors.

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
Ok some more news. There was a slight misunderstanding of the new IG name....Astra Militarum. No extra "I" in there. And from our source there will be a mix of Cadian and Catachan releases for Astra Militarum. So tHigh Elf Rumors of Catachans going away would appear to be incorrect. TRUE

IG Rumors / Knight Rumors / Wood Elf Rumors - Jan 2014
via Lion 275 on Warseer
IG will be in April. March will focus soley on the Imperial Knights. Followed by Wood Elves in May... TRUE

It sounds like Imperial Knights will be a Dataslate or a mini codex. I bet you see it in the WD then have it come out in Dataslate/mini dex. From what we were told it will not be in the IG codex and will be able to ally with various armies. DUPLICATE

IG is getting a new name with their new codex a la SoB. According to 40K Radio's source, they'll be renamed to the Astra Militarium. TRUE

Yup a brand new name. The book is called Astra Militarium. DUPLICATE

I am just going by what our source has told us. Could be a legal issue, could be they are incorporating more things into the Codex. Time will tell.

And I want to re-iterate Knight ARE NOT part of Astra Militarium (IG). TRUE

IG Rumors
via Rik on 40k Radio
So some exciting news. A listener of ours was at a GW store today that mistakenly received a shipment of some unreleased items. It was the plastic Ogryn kit. The rename is confirmed as they were called Militarum Auxillia. Boom! Nailed it. PARTIALLY TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - Feb 2014
I prefer GW's made up Latin to what they have now. I can't wait until they re-brand Space Marines as Adeptus Astartes... From what our source told us Space Marines will get a name change in the future. FALSE

Ork Rumors - Jan 2014
Orks are due in June and not September. TRUE

Dark Elf Rumors - Sep 2013
- Warlocks appear to have one hand weapon TRUE
- The new chariot crew is armed with spears and what looks to be a large crossbow or bolt thrower on the chariot. TRUE
- The new Warriors look quite different to me. But then again I am a big geek that notices stuff like that. They have cloaks that come down their back and all the helmets don't cover the eyes any more. TRUE
- The warlocks are bare chested, and the weapons look mundane...aka not glowing. They look like large jagged daggers. They are held in reverse grips which looks pretty slick. The warlock champions eyes are glowing which IMO hints at some magical abilities. md as far as the warriors go I think a big difference will be the size of them. Look at the size difference between Isle of Blood Lothern Sea Guard and the normal High Elves spearman. TRUE
- (Hydra) It looks bigger and beefier. Like we said Dark Elves are setting the bar for the best range of models in WHFB. TRUE
- The cloaks hang down from underneath the shoulder armor and cover the back of the chain mail. It definitely is new for them but it looks really cool. The Druchii warriors also have shoulder armor. It makes them look simply awesome. The skull embossed on their shields looks great too. Yes the Hydra does have 2 handlers. TRUE
- The Warriors, Black Guard, and Dark Riders all have cloaks. None of them appear to have face coverings. The Executioners appear to have skull faced helms. The theme to me appears to be a more sinister version of their High Elf bretheren. The plate armor has very spiked and jagged edges. The style will still fit well with the Shades and Reaper but next to these new models they will look very dated. TRUE
-The Kraken has 5 heads/fanged maws. The have spines and scales with smooth neck and belly flesh. Scales are painted a Dark Grey with the softer flesh painted blue. Looks awesome. TRUE
-The pictures we have of the Witch Elves has them with two hand weapons. TRUE
-Black Guard look very stalwart with large halberds and high helms with 3 spikes on each side with a flowing plume on top. Their armor is black trimmed in gold and they have dark purple cloaks. The unit champion is holding a sword by the hilt with the blade planted in the ground. Musician is a drummer. TRUE
-The executioners have what look like skull helms, and their armor is a brighter silver than the Black Guard. Their tunics are red in color and the Draiches are all held on the left hand side of their bodies (their left our right). They look very cool ranked up. TRUE
- The Dark Riders are very cool looking. Sleek looking horses with only a bit of armor. All of the Riders are hunched over in the saddle to give the illusion of speeding fast cav. The helmets appear to be open faced and they are armed with spears in the picture I have, once again that doesn't mean they wont get crossbows (in the pictures we have they are in the back ground behind the Warlocks). TRUE
- The Kraken doesn't have tentacles, it has four legs with webbed appendages ending in claws and it also has a tail. TRUE
- The Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne look very cool. If you are a fan of the newer larger models GW has been putting out for WHFB you will really dig it. It is a bit toned down compared to the Empire Celestial Hurricanum/Luminark of Hysh and has blades and hooks on it to make it very sinister and Dark Elf. TRUE
- Execs use swords (phew!). TRUE
- Black Guards look "amazing", with bulkier shoulders and tall helmets with plumes, so I guess pretty much like they look now (in that respect at least). TRUE
- The Cauldron has six wheels and two staircases leading up to the platform with the big statue of Khaine. It is not pulled by anything, so maybe (my assumption it will be used like the Screaming Bell? Three Witch Elves on it, lots of spikes and blades. TRUE
- The Witch Elves have loincloths and bras (obviously) and look "vicious". TRUE
- On the Throne, there is something that looks like half-Witch Elf, half Medusa, with snakes as hair. TRUE
- The new Hydra is beefier than the current one. DUPLICATE
- And the WEs on the Throne use spears. TRUE
- Warlocks are bare-chested, with long flowing hair, painted white. They seem to have black eyes (or no eyes), except for the champion, whose eyes are glowing. Dark Riders are cloaked (of course), and hunched over in the saddle, in order to present a low profile. TRUE


Dark Elf Rumors - Sep 2013
NEW RUMORS for Warhammer Fantasy! My "source" has sent me pictures of the new Dark Elf release. The Dark Elves will be out in October with a slew of new models:

1) NEW Plastic Dark Elf Warrior Box(Makes Spearmen, swordsmen, & crossbowmen) TRUE
2) NEW PLastic Dark Riders/Warlocks TRUE
3) NEW Plastic Blackguard/Executioners TRUE
4) NEW Plastic Coldone Chariot/Scroungerunner(Pulled by horses) TRUE
5) NEW Plastic Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne(This model is AMAZING) TRUE
6) NEW Plastic Hydra/Kraken TRUE
7) NEW Plastic Witch Elf box TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - August 2013
"Centurions: The guys are a heavy support choice. They're a marine cased in heavy armor with powerfist with lascannons under slung on one pic and heavy bolters on the other. Think of a heavier terminator armor that a marine straps into. I think this is where Chaos Oblits came from. They look to be on 40mm and I'm really starting to dig these models. TRUE

Plastic Chaplain: Like other plastic HQ's that have come out. He is armed with a Crozius and bolt pistol. He has ornate armor and he is in a dynamic pose. TRUE

Plastic Librarian: Same as above regarding previous HQ releases. He is helmetless and he's armed with a staff. He also has a wicked cherub flying off his pack pack. I really like this model. TRUE

The Hunter: I believe this will be anti-air rhino. Its a cross between Vindicator Heavy Armor and a whirlwind style weapon mounted on the back. It comes with two cannons that have three barrels. TRUE

Vanguard Plastic: I saw two separate pics one armed with TH/SS and one with a pair of Lighting claws, finally. Same Marine bodies just with some new iconography to freshen up the models. TRUE

From what I have seen so far the Marine release is going to be huge for GW. Sorry about no pics but I promised."

PENDING Age of Sigmar Rumors - Sept 2016
Lastly I will say the next 24 months have some very interesting stuff planned out for 40k at least, I don't know about AoS beyond new Skaven minis are due at some point and also the LoC (which will be released alongside the 40k rubric marines but will obviously be for AoS too), and also some great boxed games. I hope the new direction brings GW back into many hobbyists homes as I do believe they are trying and now seem to actually want people to buy, which is good.


PENDING 40k Rumors - Sept 2016
None at all sorry. There are other 40k things too..... new plague army, rubric marines & LoC etc. etc. but I have no idea when any of it is due out. I was expecting the GS Cult codex to hit by end of 2016 but I'm not so sure now.


PENDING 40k Rumors - Sept 2016
Looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing Magnus TRUE , Angron, Mortarion, Russ & Guilliman now

Board Game Release - Mar 2016

Who's ready to enter the great silver tower of Tzeentch? TRUE

Maybe more a hybrid quest/pitfight TRUE


Specialist Game Rumors - Nov 2015
When I said Bram was spot on I was referring to the fact that SG will not be how it used to be. This team will almost be like a FFG within FW producing our old favourites, not everything is a board game, imagine other classic tabletop games getting an update, doesn't mean they have to change into a boardgame format. Specialist Games ARE coming back, only with a slightly different name with an updated product and not under the direct (incompetent) control of GW. TRUE

PENDING Specialist Game Rumors - Nov 2015
AFAIK the scope is pretty big, just don't be expecting things overnight, my understanding is we are still a few months out from seeing anything yet. Def full blown epic armies, not sure about how much will be plastic and how much will be resin. I expect rules to be updated where needed. Do not expect to see old sculpts unless they are classics.


I have not heard warmaster discussed, however do not discount it, this is currently in it's infancy. The HH box seems to be well received and not too bad of a price point when you compare the equivalent cost of the minis and the fact there is also a standalone game in there. I don't expect any of it will be "cheap" but it will be more accessible. As I understand it Epic & BB are quite high up the list of priorities.


Originally Posted by BramGaunt
So I'm guessing it will be different from what we are expecting. What we are expecting is a return to how 'specialist games' were run, but what we are probably getting is a branch akin to Fantasy Flight Games that produces GW License board games that double as miniature games.
Hastings: Indeed, pretty much spot on mate :-)


Horus Heresy Rumors - Oct 2015
via 75hastings69 10-28-2015

The Plan for Horus Heresy
“As I said back in February standalone HH game. Later develops into a main 30k range to replace hobbit on store shelves.

Q: Ok, so this will become an actual miniatures game and not be restricted solely to being a board game? TRUE
A: That’s what I was told yes. Not sure on timeframe, but all so far is going exactly as I was told and posted.

…my source (who gave me the info in January) had already seen boxes with the 30k logo on printed some boxes had 30k & 40k logos on, as I reported in February. I will not go into specifics as to what these kits were, but they are obviously worked on already if the boxes are done TRUE
…The plan is for 30k to replace LotR on the store shelves, that plan and the releases AFTER HH standalone box is already WELL into the production time cycle.”

Horus Heresy Rumors - Oct 2015
I'd disagree with some that

I don't think the timeframe allows for GW to be responsive to sales of HH for the first thing. For the second point my source (who gave me the info in January) had already seen boxes with the 30k logo on printed some boxes had 30k & 40k logos on, as I reported in February. I will not go into specifics as to what these kits were, but they are obviously worked on already if the boxes are done DUPLICATE

Very rare GW change the order of their releases, I've known it happen only twice during my entire time in the hobby.

The plan is for 30k to replace LotR on the store shelves, that plan and the releases AFTER HH standalone box is already WELL into the production time cycle. So I would dispute that anyone else/any other site who DOES know what these printed boxes was IS NOT lying, my source certainly knows...... and so do I. DUPLICATE


PENDING 40k Rumors - July 2015
via Hastings on Warseer
I have said I was told that Codexes (Codices? how the hell do you do the plural of Codex anyway???) would be gone within 2 years. That might mean the rules for each unit are included in the boxes/free on the net/wd etc.

I do think that 40k rules will become more simplified, why? because GW don't want to focus on making games systems/rules anymore, they purely want to sell models. I do not doubt for one second that they (the main 40k rules) "COULD" become like AoS, but that is my personal opinion, and as I openly said that was me jumping to the conclusion based on how easily they destroyed their longest game world in favour of making more money.

I think rather than being of any use at all this thread is purely scaremongering and misleading. The death of the codex doesn't mean the end of 40k, the death of the army book in WFB was because AoS had ALREADY killed WFB, and AoS had no place for army books.



I could send you PMs over 3 years old discussing the demise of WFB would that suit? In fact if you care to look you WILL find discussions on the fantasy threads about the demise of army books and rolling them into smaller groups of armies (i.e. order, Destruction etc.) think they were by Harry though as well as myself.

Having known MANY people at GW for MANY years I can tell you without any shadow of doubt that things two years out are not unknown quantities to some members of GW. When I was right in the thick of the rumour mill some years back the occasional eagle eyed viewer might even have seen unreleased models in the background of pictures on my painting logs MANY MONTHS before they were released. I was sat happily reading the WoC army book 5 months before it was released, almost 6 months before for the O&G one, so please don't figure to assume that no one knows anything and they're just fishing, some people know a great deal, what they chose to share is entirely different.

Seriously GW don't do things on a whim, whatever is going to happen to 40k WILL already be well progressed, just no-one hears about it until the last minute.

Also not to be picky but my original post say WITHIN 2 years.

Horus Heresy Rumors - July 2015
Hastings - Warseer
Posted by Samsonov

Also, the rumoured starter set was two praetors, 40 marines, 10 terminators and 2 contemptors. It looks like the two praetors have been spotted. Still struggle to believe they would include all that in one starter, at least not at the £75 range.

I don't think it was 40 marines, for some reason I thought it was 30. But the other figures look right. FALSE

Makes me wonder will there be a full cataphractii terminator squad kit.

Yes, as per my post 15th Feb FALSE

PENDING Horus Heresy Rumors - July 2015
I don't know TBH, I'll share what I have heard, but this dates back a while as I pay very little interest to GW now.

I heard that 30k HH would be a boxed standalone game (like execution force was) TRUE
and that the plastics contained within it would go on to form part of a larger 30k range and would be released some time later as individual box sets/clampacks, I was told that rules would be in those boxes, but that some boxes would contain rules for 30k AND 40k (and these boxes have BOTH logos on - yes there is a new 30k logo) so I assume it will be using a different ruleset to 40k (as there would be no point having rules for both systems in boxes if they were both the same). TRUE
I was also told the plastic assassins would get clampack releases later and be released as part of the main 40k range..... as the box set is pretty much still quite widely available I don't expect this to be soon, although I never had a timeframe in the first case. TRUE

As for your AoS style rule reboot question - I remember being told to expect 40k codexes (codices?) to be a thing of the past within 2 years, and that the rules would be in the box for each model/unit, but there would still be a core ruleset which the in box rules would obviously add to. I've not bought any AoS releases (nor do I intend to) so I don't know if they have rules in the boxes (seems daft as when rules got FAQ'd (lol) or changed they'd need to repack ALL the boxes - seems even dafter that anything would actually bother with rules for AoS!!) or just online? I am going to leap to the conclusion that 40k probably WILL become more simplified like AoS, mainly because GW no longer see themselves as rules/games writers but just model sellers. How much more simplified I wouldn't hazard a guess at. Whatever they decide to do you can bet it's in the pipeline already, because myself and Harry were privately discussing the changes to WFB almost 3 years ago - I was told it was being canned and whilst we thought that was not the case and that AoS would be a continuation or refresh of it WFB HAS actually been canned and REPLACED by AoS, so these things are planned well ahead.

FW make huge sales from HH, there was no way that GW weren't going to want in on the action! I expect FW to still produce the big kits/characters/customising kits but GW will provide the bulk of the models needed to play 30k. We can only hope that GW let FW handle the 30k rules/books and they just make the models for it. But keep in mind I was told that when the 30k RANGE hits the stores (not the standalone box game but the actual range) it will take over the store space that used to be taken up by LotR/Hobbit, so GW may want to keep tight hold of the reigns even though they are no longer committed to producing games?

That's probably done very little to answer you, but it's the best I can manage and hopefully slightly informative if only a repost of what I wrote in January.

Indeed. Maybe those are the 2 characters from the starter/standalone box that might only be available in that box...... or something

*EDIT.

Having thought about this I think the unit/model rules for 30k & 40k will be online/WD rather than actually inside the box kits (I may have misinterpreted what my source said).

Also I should point out that as I understand it 40k and 30k will be very different games/rulesets, so it may be that 40k becomes like AoS and 30k is handled by FW (although this is just wishful thinking on the behalf of hobbyists the world over!).

Of course I may be completely wrong...... because that happens a lot
Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - June 2015
75hastings69 on Warseer
AFAIK, the box AoS is the first in several weeks worth of releases for fantasy, and the actual BRB comes soon after the AoS box FALSE

And THIS is the reason that WFB as we knew it is gone, because it isn't selling. So they either scrap it completely, or try something new in a fantasy setting. If you for one moment that success of this game means existing WFB players buy it then you are very mistaken, if only all existing WFB players buy it then it has failed already!!!!

Nobody listens to angry vets who form a customer base that isn't perfoming well enough in terms of buying to sustain the current model.

If people see something and it's cool they'll buy it. It's a gamble on GWs behalf to revive a dying fantasy customer base, they could do it better with advertising and reduce the risk of this failing, but hey this is GW...

Fantasy used to do well, back when GW didn't have much in the way of competition, now they do, they have competition that do it better and in most cases cheaper, sure the competition might not be to everyones taste BUT ITS AN ALTERNATIVE, this has been the sole biggest reason for GWs falling sales (well that and their pricing policies are based back in a time when they could pretty much do what they want - but they're all too stupid to see that times and indeed the landscape of tabletop gaming have changed & evolved. I myself have spent my money on other companies since finescat, and I will openly admit I used to be a huge GW fanboy, my eyes have since been opened to the wonderous variety currently available, and truth is I no longer need or even want GW

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - June 2015
No.

As far as I understand AoS is a skirmish level game, FALSE
pretty light on rules, a stand alone entry level game. What comes after is different,TRUE full ruleset for bigger battles with all the fluff, artwork etc.

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - June 2015

The way I understand it AoS is a standalone skirmish game, the 'rules' included with it as my pastry based friend has already said multiple times are minimal. I then understand that the Rulebooks that come later deal with expanding the base game of AoS in every way in which you would imagine a GW product to do, upscale the battles, further the fluff, detail the world(s) & protaganists, lots of artwork etc. DUPLICATE

I think rather than anyone being "wrong" there are 2 separate products here that are being merged into 1 topic.

Of course, the parts I am hearing about could just be rumour reverb from the post on Dakka???

75hastings69 on warseer wrote:

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - May 2015
Harry, Arthurius11 and Hastings have posted several hints that this game called Age of Sigmar is going to be a smaller affair than the mass-battle game WFB used to be in 8th. The rumor tracker has their posts. DUPLICATE

It's basically more of a skirmish (low model count) game. DUPLICATE
The box contains a small rulebook with less pages than usual (at least that's what I understood reading Harry's latest posts regarding the rulebook) and two forces. SPECULATION

It is rumored to be 'human warriors' (a Sigmarite Knightly Order?) vs Chaos Warriors and Daemons of Khorne. TRUE Rules for the units are included in the box. And some scenarios. Calling it an introductory set (for new players but also to the new setting for us veterans) seems to be a fitting description of it. TRUE

The last posts from Hastings on WS mentioned new building kits to be released in the near future. The removal of several WFB buildings like the fortress seems to back this up. And Hastings can be trusted anyway. TRUE

The tracker has lots of good WFB rumors collected - if you focus mostly on these three.

Campaign Rumors - May 2015
All I said was DA & Tzeentch, no idea if there'll be a boxed set but I am pretty certain there are also separate releases for both (as well?). FALSE

... and amongst the other stuff....

G/S Cult Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release) TRUE
Deathwatch Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release) TRUE

..... well, I may have gotten myself a bit confused about what these actually were, it seems we "may" be seeing these two as a combined set in some fashion, whether that's as another standalone game or as a "starter/campaign" set is yet unclear, although I'm going to assume that these would be unusual choices for a starter box. TRUE

As I originally said.....

The box sets are stand alone games, the models will then form part of the main ranges. That's exactly what I said months ago. The replacement for lotr will be 30k not the h/h standalone game. TRUE

There were no grey areas, no hidden gems of info just the facts. its really not that difficult to understand.

Lets ALSO then imagine we then release another standalone game, again limited to so many months, then we make the models from that set available for another range we support.

Obviously I'm just speculating here.... right

Right guys there are several separate rumours that folks are getting mixed up. So I'll at least split it up a little for you. THIS IS NOT RELEASE ORDER, just to help separate the rumours. IT ALSO ISN'T A FULL LIST OF THIS YEARS 40K RELEASES, in fact some of these may be early next year. NONE OF THESE ARE WFB BASED.

Admech Codex & models (full release) DUPLICATE
***** Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release)
***** Codex & Models (Harlequin sized release)
***** Standalone Boxed "historical game" models from which will form part of "a full range" (notice I didn't say existing range ) DUPLICATE
***** Standalone Boxed Game models from which will form part of an existing range

I haven't heard anything about mark 9 armour so don't associate it with any of the above.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. BOTH new standalone games will have their model contents released. The first being HH, will see models released as part of the 30k range. The 2nd boxed game models will be released as part of 40k range, part that is currently only available in finecast and not deathwatch before anyone says it again.

Let's say I know someone...

At the moment I can say that the release will probably be directly after Admech, but I'm careful with schedules. The date of the releases may change at any time.

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - Feb 2015
via 75hastings69 on Warseer
You know I'm not actually sure it is that depressing, as it is WFB doesn't sell well enough to be supported in its current format, that much is proven by the need to change it, so the options are, they keep WFB as is and run it into the ground and it dies, every army is squatted as well as future support/releases etc.

OR we change it in the chance of keeping it alive, even if it's not how people recognise it now, it might work, it might be great, but it buys WFB time, time to turn itself around, perhaps start a new fan base, perhaps grow into something better, but it's a chance. So what if army X or Y doesn't get new models for a while, they might do in the future if things work out. I'm not sure how WFB will pan out, I'm really not, but I truly don't believe it's as bad as everyone thinks.

I'll be honest and tell you I know VERY little about new WFB, but what I've heard is that you'll still be able to play massed battles, TRUE
you'll also be able to play skirmish level games, TRUE
you'll still be able to use your existing models, TRUE
the basing probably wont matter that much, TRUE
you'll also get a load of new models, aTRUE nd probably a bunch of other stuff too, compared to the DEATH of WFB I think it's the best option.

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. WFB is going to have plenty of store presence, and regardless of what many (and indeed I) think I don't think the reboot will be bad for WFB, especially if in it's current format is failing to sell. Hell at one point it was almost totally canned. TRUE

You never know new WFB might just be awesome (not finecast awesome either), however my own feelings are that the background is what makes WFB, dick with this then it isn't WFB any more, and frankly that just isn't for me. I'm going a little O/T here posting about WFB on 40k (or should that be 30k??) boards but I feel it's as good a time as any. I think what's done WFB no good is the high entry cost and investment of time & money to get a decent army, making a game that's playable as a skirmish game AND a massed battle game does make financial sense, start small, minimal initial outlay, get people interested/hooked, build and buy a bigger army, SADLY this is where GW fall down, THIS IS WHAT THEY USED TO DO YEARS AGO, with games like Heroquest, Warhammer Quest, Blood Bowl etc. get people into the Warhammer world and setting and races of that fantasy world.

They lost sight of this and thought that the product was self sustaining, it isn't, there is much more competition now for peoples hard earned cash than ever before, there are many companies that do similar and in some cases better stuff than GW and people know it, because other companies use the internet etc. to their advantage, GW see it as the enemy, and they are wrong.

I guarantee this thread has generated more excitement in a few short hours than crap like warhammer visions ever will, and it won't cost them hardly anything. People including me are now thinking, maybe I'll get some nids really for genestealer cults coming along, or I'll pick up an extra deathstorm box for all the nids, or whatever, that GW is SALES. Hiding away ignoring your fan base is beyond ridiculous, especially in such a niche market. The fact that Whisperer oftruth said "Admech..... proved popular beyond all expectations" shows just how little they know/listen to their fanbase, as this has been one of THE most wishlisted armies for so many years it is ridiculous. Anyway enough rambling.

PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Feb 2015
Question by drbored on Warseer (hastings response is afterwards)
Sad about Sisters, but let's work on the rest of these.
When you say 'Harlequin-sized release' you mean in terms of number of kits?
So it COULD be a main codex (like Space Marines or whatevs) getting about
as many models as the Harlequins got, or are we talking about smaller
forces like the Militarum Tempestus and Harlequin-style releases with new
Codices?

Also I think it's pretty clear that the 'full range' is going to become
GW's plastic 30k stuff, which means the boxed 'historical game' is going to
be Horus Heresy based, or am I just off the mark?

I'm honestly really hoping that Chaos Space Marines gets some attention. Let's get some properly sized Plague Marines, updated Khorne Berzerkers, and Noise Marines and Thousand Sons that aren't half Finecast, kthxbai

Also thanks hastings, this is awesome stuff and makes me pretty excited for the future!
Oh they will

Hastings Response
But not as part of the stuff in this thread, well unless you count the bad SM as CSM? (if you know what I mean)


I have heard that there might be a plastic GD, plastic daemons, and plastic CSM kit for a certain god at some point later this year (and no it's not Khorne!)

Hastings Wrapping things up
So from the list we have:-
Admech Codex & models (full release)
**** Codex & models (Harelquin sized release already mentioned on thread)
**** Codex & models (Harelquin sized release already mentioned on thread)
HH Standalone box game, on sale for a few months, then models become part of 30k range.

Assassins Standalone box game, on sale for a few months, then models become part of the 40k range.

Not Arbites, Not CSM in any form, subtract from those listed. Although I did say that DA might get an update AND that there may be a 40k release of a GD, Deamons and CSM for a god that isn't Khorne at some time later in the year.

Deathwatch
Genestealer Cult

Then separately DA & Tzeentch type stuff. Oh but don't rule out the missing GDs etc. they're all done

Two are due out this year (greater daemons) AFAIK, and we've seen pics of 1

I will just reiterate I DO NOT KNOW THE TIMEFRAME of these releases, I've been out of the loop for some time. I can only assume that Lords of Warg have the Apr/May Admech correct (I'd heard April) but I've no idea of the schedule or indeed order of the other stuff.

I guess Patriarch, Magus, Hybrids, and Limo might just about make that a Harlequin sized release?

Totally (well not totally actually) unrelated I did hear that actual CODEXes? (CODices?) god know s the plural, might soon be a thing of the past. with all rules being in box leaflets. Some might even contain 2 sets of rules, one for 40k and one for 30k But I'm not 100% on this.

Sisters Rumors - July 2014
Please treat this as a rumour, but I may have some info on this.

My info goes like this. As of next year around July 2015 GW will hand over Sisters of Battle to Forge World and they'll be a full multi part resin kit. FALSE

However, this is only for a short as if what I am hearing is true, you see if the info is correct, GW is introducing a new Faction into 40,000 and it will be called "Children of Chaos" FALSE
this new "Chaos" faction will be basically Space Beastmen. However bringing in a new faction means the culling of an established faction and according to what I have been told there is no place for plastic SoB.

This ties in well, as Forge World will bring out a rehash GW Codex for SoB but under "Forge World" title, but they can only be fielded as an auxiliary force and not a stand alone army. As I have said this will be a short time and by the 1st Qtr of 2016 FALSE
Forge World will withdraw SoB from the range, this has been done this way so that GW and Citadel Miniatures can wash their hands of SoB and the squatting of SoB will be Forge Worlds fault.

I hope this is wrong, but I have had it told to me more than once and one of those is a former games developer of GW that shall never be named.

Our little mole at Warhammer World has been whispering:
"In November a new Tyranid army is being launched as 'super psychic' monsters with new psychic monstrous and gigantic creatures being released as a independent army like the mechanicum and cult mechanicum" FALSE

“The Horus Heresy Boxed Game will arrive in Early November. TRUE
Looks like a release (no pre order) on November 7th.” FALSE

And that is the third rumor source pointing out a release date of the first week of November. Our previous schedule laid out a pre-order date date on either October 31, with a November 7th street date, so this fits in perfectly. The new piece of info is the lack of a pre-order, which would be unusual for GW. If true they may want it to come out with a big splash of excitement, or perhaps want to maximize impulse purchases if it is in any way a limited release.

For Aos: 1 for each Grand Alliance:

- Death: not mentionned
- Destruction: not mentionned.

Price would be twice the normal Start Collecting Boxes price (i.e. 100 £ or 130 €), with around twice the minis. But this is not 2x the Start Collecting Box in term of minis . TRUE

It might be released on 19th of November (not sure whether it would be the pre-order day or the final release).

I also heard that beautiful models are on their way, with, for Chaos, especially Tzeench but also Slaanesh were mentionned. Release date not sure, maybe starting still this year but more probably beginning of next. Next year would be as interesting as this one, or even more.

It seems also that GW sells currently more AoS products than 40K ones on a worldwide basis.

Dwarves - Squadrons of Gyros are being considered. FALSE
Dwarves - Latest 'Blackfire Pass' WHFRP supplement specifically mentions 2 new machines available to Engineers - The War Zeppelin and a 'warmachine in the likeness of an ancestor.' Such fluff has to be OK'd by GW HQ, so they're happy for both to be canon, which would suggest that whatever the Dwarfs get, it'll be one if not both of these.... The artwork in numerous recent GW releases picturing both would lend further weight to this rumour. FALSE
Dwarves - Blackfirepass supplement. FALSE

PENDING Chaos Rumors - Oct 2016
via Andross on Dakka
Part 1
Right so at the end of my thread regarding the Infernal Tetrad. I got into a bit of gossip mongering about some up coming Chaos Space Marine and Daemon products.

So this what I know as true. As much as can be expected of an early rumer.

A good friend of mine who works in my local GW store, has let me in on some information. Now he's told me things that are "coming soon" before and he's always been proved right before. So I personally believe what he's told me.

Things he says are coming soon. a new daemonkin style Codex: for the three remaining Chaos powers, A new set of Chaos data cards comprising of the tacticle objective cards (originaly available with with the special edition version of Traitor's Hate) and new Pykic Power cards for Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh, with seven powers for each and conversion kits for the Chaos Powers like those for Blood Angels, Space Wolves etc with 10 shoulder pads champion heads weapons. So yeh if he's done his clearvoyant trick I'll be very very busy through next year. If he gets anything else he lets me in on I'll be sure to share.

Part 2
Not a single crossover Codex: for all three one whole book for each of them.

The Data Cards are the only thing he said had stuff for all three in, the faction spesific psykic powers.

The only thing I don't get is how the updated psykic powers will play into the new Codex:s.

Point. If we're getting new powers there will need to be a printed version of them. Not everyone will be able to afford or want the the cards they're a nice touch and I always get them for any factions I own, but they are for everyone.

Now l lets take what I've heard to be true. If we're getting three new Codex:s it stands to reason that each discipline will be in the appropriate faction Codex:. But I know some people who flat out dislike the Daemonkin thing. should they have to buy three Codex:s they don't really want just so they can have the updated psykic powers for an army and Codex: they already own?

And Azreal13, when I said a daemonkin style Codex: I meant a Codex: each for each chaos power, that do for each of them, what Khorne Daemonkin does for Khorne unit's, but won't necessarily have "Daemonkin" in the title,

And on the subject of scepticism. Any man who is not sceptical about another man's rumour is a fool. Any man who endorses said rumour whithout evidence is a fool among fools.

I am sceptical about everything. The reason that I'm fairly confindent of these rumours is the guy that told me has tipped me off on things before. and everything he's told me about I now own. Like I said in my thread on the Infernal Tetrad "Sorcererof Khorne". His early info has always proved to be correct. I just hope they get the Data Cards before Christmas as I'll need them for the legion Codex: I'm wrighting.

"Please GW, please before Chrimbo,"

Part 3
Right. as I understand it he means. A Codex: for Tzeentch, a Codex: for Nurgle and a Codex: for Slaanesh with new rules, wargear, formations, etc. For armies built around both mortals and daemons dedicated to the aforementioned power/faction. But they probably won't have "Daemonkin" in title.

Yeh I'm pretty sure we'll be getting more campaign books to represent the activities of Abaddon's 13th black crusade. a lot more.

Wood Elf Rumors - August 2012
Not so much a packmaster, but the new Alter Kindred takes on the form of an animal/nature and becomes some form of monstrous beast/infantry, apparently. FALSE
The fluff being they give themselves over to the forest, and take on its aspects, sort of like miniature orions, rather than being a shapeshifter atypical druid. FALSE
Playtested versions have seen "proxied" varghulfs with extremely fast movement, so that may mean that they can take on an aerial aspect that gives them fly. FALSE
As for the monstrous cav, I am lead to believe that wild riders current iteration is still viable in the rules. FALSE
Chariots meanwhile, I have heard absolutely nothing about, other than suggestions of an altar type of unit acting like a mortis engine with its "spirit host", but that has been dismissed by my sources as pure wishlisting. FALSE

Lizardmen Rumors - August 2012
- late summer/early autumn release next year for Lizardmen, TRUE
-"super monstrous cavalry" unit; units of Carnosaur mounted Saurus;FALSE
- new plastic carnosaur (singular);TRUE
- It will also be the first time in 8th Edition (to date) that a character will be able to ride the same monstrous beast as the unit in its army - FALSE

- Slann now becomes a multi-part plastic set - availability for a Relic Priest (Kroak, including Deathmask), a normal Priest, and a special limited edition plastic combination pack (similar to the Exalted Daemon Chariot) that combines a Stegadon and a Slann Priest to recreate Mazdamundi. In addition, they get access to Disciplines, but these may not be taken more than once. Reading into rumours suggests that Slann have Loremaster (see below for reasoning). FALSE
- All Saurus armies become "viable" thanks to the return of Sacred Spawnings - units can purchase Sacred Spawnings like a Mark of Chaos, while characters get access to them off the bat. One will allow them to join Temple Guard units, others will give benefits to specific units, like Magic Resistance or Devastating Charge (Sotek?), while others (like Itzl, or whatever the Cold One Riders are), are already included within their stats. FALSE
- Razordons and Salamanders become a Dual part plastic Monstrous beasts + handler kits, 2 Monsters and 6 Handlers to a set. FALSE
- Couatl model - working like a Terrorgheist in that it can be both a mount (rumours are to be available at sub-200 points to allow 2 to be taken for heroes in 2400 games) and a monster, presuming rare. FALSE
- The Stegadons become special choices as well, with a unit "upgrade" to Ancient stats, and a weapon "upgrade" to didgeridoo blowdarts. Skink Mounts still available IIRC. FALSE
- Skink Priests gain access to Beasts as well as Heavens. In addition, Skink Priests may become "attendants" to a Slann - basically I read it as a Skink Priest option allowing it access to the same Lore the Slann itself knows. Reading into that suggests that Slann have Loremaster as standard. PARTIALLY TRUE
- The return of the Arcanadon - one thing that every non-lizard player is going to hate, a pokemon venusaur/stegadon crossover which takes in solar power to create a blast of magical light, in the form of a cannonball/stone thrower/flame cannon/breath weapon monster. Although nothing concrete about the presumed dual nature of the kit, it could possibly be a much "wanted" Thunder Lizard capable of making thunderstorms. This is eerily reminiscent of the Luminarks/Hurricanums however, so I am EXTREMELY DOUBTFUL and think is little more than wishlisting. Combined with the Couatl which is also a "thunder/weather" monster, this might be crossed wires, OR wishlisting (I believe the latter, though). SPECULATION
- Apparently Nakai will return - an apparently unbreakable "autohealing" monster non-general hero choice. FALSE

Wood Elf Rumors - Aug 13 2012
- Plastic Dragon (Spellweaver/Highborn option) FALSE
- Plastic Set for Eternal Guard equipped with Saearath - presuming 10 to a set like High Elven Elites, including full command. TRUE

- Scouts become their own unit choice TRUE

PENDING Bret Rumors - July 2012
Brets - Trebuchet flaming ammunition would create an area of dangerous terrain.
Brets - Battle Pilgrims are being removed, in favour of the reliquae acting as a potential battle standard bearer and allowing men at arms to take swords and shields, as opposed to spears/halberd limitations.
Brets - They are toying with removal of lance formation and replacing that with monstrous cavalry rules for breton warhorses.
Brets - The fireball throwing trebuchet, being a dual plastic kit, one being a trebuchet and another being developed as launching some form of wine barrel as an explosive, as per a mangonel similar to as seen in medieval 2 total war games.
Brets - The reliquae is a dual kit, becoming more like a screaming bell. The dual part nature of the kit is hazy, but possibilities I have heard from range from a large standard (similar to carroccio standard from medieval 2 total war, to a more 'crazy' design relating to a damsel in distress, where a damsel is held in tribute to some passing monster, causing the bretons to rage when said damsel in distress gets eaten alive by a hungry wyvern.
Brets - Hippogryph with parts to represent louen as well as an unarmoured, uncaparisoned, unmounted version to represent a storm of magic version.
Brets - Dual plastic kit for royal pegasus/unicorn prophetess/paladin/faye enchantress.
Brets - A foot knight hero is to be available to represent a duke of montfort, along with his dismounted knights.

Fyreslayer Vulkite Berserkers (10 miniatures) - 45€ 35£ 60$ TRUE

SURPRISE! The WD shows the models that have yet to be released everywhere. I find the new giant salamander to be absolutely gorgeous. IMO in term of design they take models like the slaughterbrute, break them in half, throw the parts into an incinerator and bury the ashes 3 feet under. TRUE

For those wondering, Fyreslayers use the Ur-Gold to create runes over their own body. I have no time to actually read the WD but I'll come back later if there is anything interesting. I think that army design is a success.

A few more nuggets of info from the WD:
- Fyreslayers are born from the fight between Grimnir and Vulcatrix.
- Fyreslayers believe that in Ur-Gold resides the essence of Grimnir, their shattered God.
- Ur-Gold is magical. There is a funny rule when you play a Runemaster where your opponent chooses one of his units as carrying some gold, and thanks to it said unit can reroll all 1 to wound. But better not let the Runemaster get close enough and realize you are carrying the gold or the Fyreslayers will go all chop chop on you.
- When they insert Ur-Gold runes in their flesh, their God's energy starts flowing through their vein. This lead to things like being surrounded by flames, striking harder, more resilient skin (I suppose that's why they have 5+ save).

This is how each of their chapters is organized: TRUE
- Chapter mast.. no wait what am I saying? I mean Auric Runefather.
- Below that is the Auric Runemaster (the one in the WD)
- Auric Runesmiters
- Grimwrath Berzerkers
- Auric Runesons
- Hearthguard Berzerkers and Auric Hearthguard (the ones in the WD)
- Battlesmiths
- Vulkite Berzerkers (the ones in the WD)

PS- They're not actually called Chapters as you already guessed, but I don't know how to translate the real name in English.

Sorry but there are quite frankly too many things in the WD for me to read everything.


The huge salamander looking monster are 100% new models and are featured heavily in the next WD. They're not simple cavalry, they're large monsters in the same category as a Carnosaur. TRUE

Thought they are not actually slayers at all, they have their traditional look. Normal flesh, orange hair (but they show other models with dark hairs). Flames only appear on a few specific items. One recurring item they carry is the key. In fact one of the weapons carried by a lizard rider looks like what would happen if you were to turn a Keyblade into a halberd. TRUE

PS-
Thought I constantly called them salamanders, I have actually no idea what the big monsters will be called. If it's in the WD I've yet to read it.

They all are helmeted. Usually the part at the top of the helmet where the hairs "burst out" is shaped like a dragon head. Between the helmet and how much they are naked they kind of give a small "300" vibe TRUE

Don’t ask, I think Khorne dudes believe you don’t hit the metal on the anvil, but that you hit the metal WITH the anvil.Big problem I have with him is that he suffer from the same problem that many Aos miniatures already have: despite being a clampack, in the middle of an army he looks so much like the rest you’ll probably lose sight of him. Better make his flames really stand out when you paint him.

– Also Khorne Army Book, same price as the Sigmarines one. TRUE

– They appear to be some repackaging of Khorne miniatures for AoS, but their price was not listed in the WD. There is a new Skullcrushers box that now contains 6 of them instead of 3.

Harry, Arthurius11 and Hastings have posted several hints that this game called Age of Sigmar is going to be a smaller affair than the mass-battle game WFB used to be in 8th. The rumor tracker has their posts. DUPLICATE

It's basically more of a skirmish (low model count) game. The box contains a small rulebook with less pages than usual (at least that's what I understood reading Harry's latest posts regarding the rulebook) and two forces. DUPLICATE

It is rumored to be 'human warriors' (a Sigmarite Knightly Order?) vs Chaos Warriors and Daemons of Khorne. TRUE
Rules for the units are included in the box. And some scenarios. Calling it an introductory set (for new players but also to the new setting for us veterans) seems to be a fitting description of it. DUPLICATE

The last posts from Hastings on WS mentioned new building kits to be released in the near future. The removal of several WFB buildings like the fortress seems to back this up. And Hastings can be trusted anyway. DUPLICATE

The main purpose of this khorne codex is to ride in the slipstream of End Times 5, which will be released earlier in march, with the
"headline"-release of the new Bloodthirster (builds 3 variants).TRUE

...The bloodthirster apparently looks great with various head and weapon options. The Archaon book will bring some more khorne stuff with a new unit as well. TRUE

...I heard there could be an old special character possibly getting a new model, it's possible it could be a dual kit with the bloodthirster. FALSE

...And Skarbrand. Assume he would dual kit with blood thirster but not 100% FALSE

End Times Rumors - Oct 2014
via Arthurius11 on Warseer
As usual this is not 100% but I have heard the elves book is going to be called end times : Khaine. Also that there will be no new dark elf models with it. Take that as you will. I personally hope that is wrong or incorrect as I was hoping for new Malekith or morathi models. But leaves door open for other possible elves models / units. We will see as it is still a while away on those ones. TRUE


Release Schedule Rumors - Sept 2014
via Arthurius11 on Warseer
This is not 100% and could be wrong but I have heard, after space hulk it is dark eldar, TRUE
then the end times chaos book. We shall see TRUE

There will also be new fantasy terrain.

PENDING 40k Rumors - March 2016

While I would love to see Space Pandas or Vampires or Ptera-Squirrel, sadly none of them haha.

Yeah, we will see Exodite Eldar - no ETA yet, and not soon though.

Sisters of Silence and Custodes are done by Forgeworld. Sisters of Battle and Chaos Space Marines need more or less a whole new range ala Dark Eldar/Necrons/Orks (from 2nd to 3rd).


PENDING 40k Rumors - Jan 2017
Howdy Guys and Girls

Some whispers via Perturabo's Raven:

"- Cadia will fall in preperation for 8th edition
- 8th edition WILL NOT AoSify the 40k franchise, they will only gave it rule tweaks, GW isn't crazy to kill their most successful franchise
- From January till Summer, the release schedule wont be full 40k, it will have AoS and Bloodbowl here and there.
- Regarding Roboute being rumored to be released, he said that it is a possibility but no confirmation right now. Since Guilliman is the imperial poster boy so he would probably be released.
- So with Fall of Cadia, GW is optimistic that it will be a huge event across the globe, with the storyline progressing etc.

And I need to repeat that this is not the End Times, like with AoS/Fantasy-reboot."

As usual, take it with a bit of salt, but it sounds quite alright ^^

Regards,
Lady Atia

PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Mar 2016
I don't have an ETA for that stuff.

For Mechanicum: Afaik they have the designs for 2-3 more robots. Afaik they would like to do a combined book.

The deathwatch stuff should get multi part kits down the line. TRUE

More boardgame stuff (surprise surprise).

Specialist Games try to get Bloodbowl out. Earliest targeted release is Q3/4 2016, latest is Q1 '17. TRUE
After that they want to work on Adeptus Titanicus with a new scale.

I also got early snippets about two possible new/old factions who may come "back", but that's pretty early talk (40k/30k).

For Forgeworld, it's the new IA with Tau vs. Adeptus Mechanicus/Titans/Red Scorpions targeted around summer. The book itself is finished afaik, just needs an release slot. Inferno later afaik. After that they wanted to do Signus/Thramas/Diamat.

40k Rumors - Oct 2016
There is nothing major for AoS coming in the next two months afaik. Bloodbowl is November and 1k sons in December. TRUE

PENDING Chaos Rumors - Dec 2016
Martin Jørgensen • I am saving my €€ for a new Lord of Change
Lady Atia - Better save ~ 300-500 euros for the next month(s).

PENDING Sisters Rumors - Oct 2016
Afaik sister capes are seperate pieces all together^^

PENDING Age of Sigmar Rumors - Dec 2016
Howdy Guys and Girls

Perturabos' raven told me today that we will see the former 'Island of Blood' set reprinted for AoS, pre-orders are up at December the 17th.

Who wants to get some skaven or aelfs ?
Sisters Rumors - October 2016
Someguy: Wait, they weren't joking when they talked about Sisters of Battle?
Atia: Nope TRUE

40k Chaos Rumors - Nov 2016
So, take it with a bit of salt, but I just want to add my two cents:

- I heard that both renegades and traitor legions would get love and rules this year, and I heard there will be two books for chaos this year (but no Codex). Now we got Traitors Hate already, so the legions book would make sense with what I know. TRUE
- Physical rules for assassins, sororitas silentium and custodes make sense too. Even more if they can add a teaser for the sisters of battles^^ TRUE

Lady Atia

There is nothing major for AoS coming in the next two months afaik. Bloodbowl is November TRUE and 1k sons in December.

I sadly have no ETA for the arcanists (but they should take the stage as big badies for AoS next afaik) - but they reboxed the heroes (well, they are pretty pricey soooo). So who know's *shrugs*. It's usually one big release per month and filler for the other weeks now - hence it feels rather slow.

I'm pretty sure we will get all four cult armies down the line, but that's not anytime soon. It's the same with the (daemon) primarchs - you won't get all of them next year lol. These are big awesome releases, they won't hit out everything they can do within a few months.

- The whole Slaanesh vs Aelfs storyline is already foreshadowed in the lore. Same with Slaanesh's follower try to find her. Same with Malerion hiding in the Shadowlands. Or the Big Ironjaw emmisary from Gorkamorka doing the Great Waaaaagh!.
- AoS is a storyline, and will continue as that.
- GW's current plastic Slaanesh line is already "kid friendly".

Release Schedule Rumors - Jul 2016
via a friendly raven ^.^

"First monthly white dwarf has the new Khârn in it (leaning forward charging). TRUE

Also a campaign type book with new rules for Chaos Space Marines. It's not a new Codex, but does have cool new rules. TRUE

Also included is the new Deathwatch Codex TRUE
with Artemis Model TRUE and the new flyer for them. Looks like a mix between a tau and imperial flyer." TRUE

As always, take it with a tiny bit of salt but that one is usually pretty spot on =)

Lady Atia

Age of Sigmar Rumors - July 2016
Howdy again

There will also be a new mini starter set this week, with rules, 4 battle plans, 3 Bloodwarriors, 5 Bloodreavers, 2 Retributors and 3 Liberators. TRUE

There will also be some small snap fits sets for 10 pounds each.

Last but not least a new "Getting Started with WH AoS" magazine with a free libarator.

regards,
Lady Atia


PENDING Chaos Rumors - June 2016

Anyone still hyped about Tzeentch? Yes? Great. Here some snippets to avoid all possible confusions:

- Forgeworld will do the Prospero Magnus. In resin. Around Fall, for the Inferno release (as I think Russ may be ready for sale for the next Open Day). There are no "problems", Simon Egan just was afraid of both the horns on his chest and his face. He will be the largest Primarch. And of course FW will continue to produce the 30k Primarchs.

- GW will use the Daemon Primarchs for their ongoing storyline. Because that's the things that "are more interesting". You can use them for both 30k and 40k games, more people buy plastic models than resin. Magnus is finished. TRUE But please don't expect all 5/6 Daemon Primarchs tomorrow lol.

- GW already did them (Angron, Mortarion, Magnus and Fulgrim) in EPIC. They all work as large focus models for their respective Cults.

- I wouldn't expect this stuff before the Summer is over. Relax, enjoy your Sylvaneth and play some games using your Handbook.

- Tzeentch Arcanites, Thousand Sons, Daemons of Tzeentch. #YearOfTzeentch (btw, don't take the year as year but more as ~12 months lol). Also, these aren't next in line, so again, don't expect this tomorrow ... TRUE

Last but not least, a quote from Sad Panda that summs it quite up

"Remember it is still a few months out, especially the 40K stuff.

There are a lot of things in the pipeline before it. Deathwatch for example." DUPLICATE

So, let's chill and enjoy our summer =)

Lady Atia


Horus Heresy - June 2016
"I saw a picture of an exclusive HH Space Marine, which will be available in GW stores the 25th June. It's a World Eater, with a long blade / short Spear, and Terminator armour. The price will be 35€, while stock last... " TRUE

Age of Sigmar Rumors - May 2016
Hello everyone !!

We got this by a friendly raven :

summer campaign

-taking place in realm of life TRUE
-your battle results will be logged at a GW Web Station (the computer you order from when at a GW Store) to prevent skewing results like Eye of Terror did TRUE
-it will shape the setting when they write up future campaign books

general's handbook

-units have a model count cap (max 10 models, or 20 models, etc. depends on the unit)
-you can only add models in "groups" (no points for individual models. example: add 5 liberators to your unit for X points)
-book will contain points for all models, and they'll be included in battletomes going forward (i don't know if it's definitive, i couldn't tell if he assumed that was what's going to happen or if he was told by studio guys)
-army organization is a mix of force org from 40k and the point-tiers from fantasy. for every X points in a game, you can have up to Y heros/wizards/monsters, etc.
-in Match Play, there's the "Rule of 1s", in that 1s always fail, limit named characters to 1 per army, and units you summoned cannot summon other units that turn
-weapon upgrades in units won't cost additional points.
-some missions in the book that are styled like LotR games, where you recreate a major battle with each player bringing an army determined by the rules, and such missions will be included in battletomes.
-narrative will have a lot of cool stuff to add to your games. magic items for your heroes to wield, new Path of Glory for all armies, new missions to run, etc.

future models

-in the general's handbook, there looks to be new sylvaneth models shown. i would take this with a grain of salt, as they could be very well done conversions, but from what i heard, there are models of aelfs whose limbs are turning into branches and plants, and new updated treemen (not treelords, the treemen who are bigger than branchwraiths but smaller than treelords)
-concept art shown of allariel riding what looks to be a giant rhino beetle? sounds interesting, possible future model? only time will tell
-Slaanesh is not dead. Models are supposedly finished and they're waiting to get things ready (box art, artwork for future books, production, finding a time to include in the story, etc.) studios rarely release models the second they are done, there's a lot of prep work behind the scenes.

sales numbers

-. AoS is now roughly 30% of sales. 40k is still outperforming by a large margin, but AoS numbers are healthy. what to take away from this is that AoS will continue forward, it's here to stay, there's no plans to go backwards on it.

Use Salt of course !!

/cheers.
bob.



Age of Sigmar Rumors - Apr 2016

- There will be points TRUE
- There will be unit categories similiar to 40k, Leaders, Battle Line Units, Behemoths and Warmachines (working titles). TRUE

- Basically it's Unbound, Story Mode and Tournament Mode

- Open play is basically Unbound or Apocalypse, including rules for multi player battles

- Narrative Play will give you campaign rules similiar to FW's Imperial Armour/HH Campaigns

What do you think so far?

Edit :
- 5 Campaign in the book with a story arc for each. (path to glory included)
- 22 batte plan (small to very big)
- Must have book
- Rules for multiplayer games
- people from the podcast playtested the game.
- 2000 points = 2.5hours battle.

Ork Rumors - Jun 2014
We’ve been hearing on the grape vine that Looted Vehicles might be going from the upcoming Ork Codex and with that in minds we thought we’d see what you’re favourite vehicles were to bosh together for the glory of your Warboss and the Waaaaaaaagh! TRUE

Of course there were some firm favourites to loot but with Orks your mind can go utterly wild! So, if you don’t see an option below in the poll that you like then fire up your typing fingers and let us know what you loved converting for your green tide of awesomeness!

There’s nothing stopping you from doing this kind of thing in the new edition of course, Orks are resourceful, but if Looted Vehicles really are going to the scrap heap what will you use your looted vehicles as?

Ork Rumors - Jun 2014
Formation - 'ork warband' - warboss, mek, unit of nobs, six boys mobs, one unit of grots. Gives Boss of the Waaagh! Greenskin Hordes and Stampede rules.

Boss of the Waaagh! Lets you re-roll your warlord trait if taken as a primary detachment.

Greenskin Hordes. "Evey unit with ten or more models in the detachment gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule... and in every assault phase in which is successfuly charges an enemy unit the dice rolled for it's charge range in ten or more before modifers..." The wording here is confusing; not sure if it means that Hammer of Wrath only works if you roll ten or more, or if there was another rule which got cut out.

Stampede! If the formation's warboss is your warlord, he can use his Waaagh! special rule each and every turn after the first. This implies that warbosses have a special rule called 'Waaagh!' which usually can't be used every turn.

Detachment 'ork horde'. HQ, three troops, elite, fast attack, heavy support, fortification and Lord of War. Gives Greenskin Hordes and Boss of the Waaagh! Not sure if 'elite, fast attack and heavy support' was meant to mean one of each is compulsory.

40k Expansion Rumors - Nov 2013
I've been hearing talk of a couple of new expansions for 40K due for release next month:

The first is a fortifications expansion, containing new datasheets and missions for use in regular 40k. I'm also under the understanding that some of these datasheets allow you to take several fortifications as a single choice. TRUE

The second expansion brings superheavy vehicles (and gargantuan creatures) to regular 40k. My understanding is that this will be achieved by adding a new super heavy slot to the force org chart, and that you will be limited to the choices detailed within this expansion (I think there's approximately 15 of them). This expansion will also include new missions. TRUE

Sisters of Battle Rumors - Codex - Sep 2013
via Best_Pone on Warseer
Codex: Sisters of Battle
An interesting tidbit I overheard being discussed recently is that Sisters of Battle are getting a digital codex release soon. Unfortunately, I'm still in the dark as to if there will be a physical codex release, or whether this is new material or just a repackaging of the current list. TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - August 2013
Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines. TRUE

- There will be 7 Ltd Ed varients. 6 of these will be covers for First Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover. TRUE

- New weapon family: Grav weapons. I believe these wound against the armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness of 2). TRUE

- First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Ultramarines. This will also show in a rule called Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being played. TRUE

- There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it appears to go over the marine's power armour however. TRUE
- This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. The devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. The assault version has a bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault drills mounted on the gauntlets. TRUE

- There are 2 new AA tanks. One tank veterans will already be familiar with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The other tank mounts 2 tri-barreled turrets instead. TRUE
- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle. TRUE

- A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad. TRUE

- A new plastic Vanguard veteran squad. TRUE

- New plastic characters: a captain, a librarian and a chaplain. TRUE

Chaos Space Marine Rumors - Black Legion - July 2013
So, I've heard from a little birdy that Black Legion will be getting the next supplement. No idea if that will be August or not though, seeing as August is a WFB month. TRUE

Space Marine - Rumors - June 2013
Has anyone mentioned the company masters yet? Marine players are getting some more of the company masters. I believe they're the masters of the reserve companies. TRUE

Apocalypse Rumors
You've already seen the Chaos and Necron superheavies. DUPLICATE
You'll also get some fortifications - giant gun/missile emplacements and the like. These are also designed to hook up with the Wall of Martyrs terrain. TRUE
As well as the Apocalypse rulebook, there's also a collector's edition and a gamer's edition. TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
"To be fair, the flyers and wraithknight are the new shiny things, so they're going to be what grab the most attention. TRUE
You are getting new wraithguard - it's a double pack that also do a close combat version. Both types will also have weapon options. TRUE
The Finecast that I've seen are a spiritseer TRUE
and a ranger TRUE
and your new battleforce replaces the warwalker with a viper." TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
I'm not sure how to break this to you really. The Wraithknight... looks down on your puny flyers? TRUE

Talking of flyers, they do put me in mind of the anime Battle Fairy Yukikaze. I won't try drawing either of them this time though, as that didn't turn out so well last time PARTIALLY TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
The main hull and wings are common across both builds. It's amazing how different tail and fin positioning can alter the look of the aircraft though TRUE

Common features: TRUE
- Downward angling of the primary wings (about 30º I'd estimate)
- Canards are very slightly angled down, but near horizontal
- Engines are mounted in pods in the wings
- One weapon mounted centreline under the hull, and one in a pod in each wing

Hemlock:
- Has a single vertical stabiliser mounted on the centreline of the aircraft TRUE

Nightshade:
- Twin "vertical" stabilisers (they're actually about 30º from horizontal), one mounted on each engine pod. PARTIALLY TRUE

Eldar Rumors - April 2013

The pods on the wings of my drawing are the engines by the way, and yes, this fighter doesn't have a forked nose. Overall, the length of the Hemyock is a little longer than the Wave Serpant chassis, and the cockpit is located in the nose of this particular design. TRUE

Oh, and I think you're all expecting the obligatory mega-walker. From the glance I got, it looks like a wraithlord scaled up to twice the height I guess. DUPLICATE

High Elf Rumors - March 2013
I can confirm the flying chariot. It looks like a tiny boat with wings, and is pulled by a single giant eagle. It looks kind of silly in my opinion, but not much that can be done about that. TRUE

As for the phoenix, it can be made up either as a fire phoenix or an ice phoenix. This one at least look pretty cool (or hot, depending on the option you choose I guess ) TRUE

Both of these will be plastic kits:
- A unit of lasses that look to be using bows formed from water. They're something to do with Avalon? TRUE
- A unit wielding bows and swords, with face-covering helms. I understand these to be called Shadow Soldiers or something to that effect. TRUE

Blood Angel Rumors - Apr 2016
via BigBangA1 on Faeit 212 (thank you)
I am actually really interested in the new Blood Angel Campaign. I was at my the GW store in my area and had a chat with the manager there. He said he knew a Blood Angel update was coming and he was super excited for it. TRUE

He said it featured formations with "assaults from deepstrike everywhere."

Just got told by someone who has seen the next two white dwarves that next weekends preorder, not this weekend is skarbrand, apparently he is a named Bloodthirster, big £80 and is an outcast as he was tricked into attacking Khorne by Tzeentch TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - March 2013
Hmmmm, very interesting, this sounds a lot like something that I've seen play tested at certain events. Might be a coincidence but if it's the same thing then I'd expect this "suit" to essentially be a mini-Contemptor dreadnought similar to the RT-era type, designed for living Marine heroes to wear into battle and then leave afterwards. Walker, WS/BS 5, AV11, 5++ save, two power fists (with alternative weapons) and an optional jump pack. PARTIALLY TRUE

The box is supposed to contain scenery. TRUE

GW General Rumors - Feb 2015
Brass Scorpion over at SpikeyBits Forum says this:

“Some of you astute GW customers out there may have noticed that the Tomb Kings army book has been out of print for a few months. This is because it is moving to paperback! The new price will also be significantly cheaper too. Instead of the $49.50 US hardback Army book price it will be about $37 US and change. Perhaps we can presume this shift to cheaper paperbacks will be seen in other Army and Codex books over time. We’ll just have to wait and see.” TRUE

PTs still shunt, and shunt is unchanged. TRUE

I swear every time I try to leave the PC I refresh the page and feel compelled to answer another question tongue.png



Doomfists are no more, that goes for both the NDK and the Dread. TRUE
Dreads are still psychic pilots, but everything else is just a normal vehicle (and received the appropriate price change). TRUE
The Dread still has Sanctuary and Banishment. TRUE
The higher price from C:SM is likely to accomodate the Aegis and Psychic Pilot (Reinforced Aegis is gone, not that it really did much after the FAQ).



EDIT: Homers are available for all Justicars, Paladins, and HQs that aren't BHCs or Crowe. Teleport Homer is limited to TDA and PT-armed models though. Strikes can't benefit from the homer for some odd reason. TRUE

Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
Psilencer is ranged force weapon.TRUE
And:


~Psycannons became Salvo 2/4 as expected. Heavy Psycannon has a dual profile, area saturation is the same (Heavy 1, large blast) but has a Salvo 3/6 option too. TRUE
~Purifiers inflict Soulblaze on all melee attacks, Incinerators have Soulblaze as well. TRUE
~Librarians are cheeeeeeeeeaaaap. We're talking ML3 (still in TDA) for the price of a current Psyriflemen dread (unfortunately Psybolts really are gone now) TRUE
~Brother-Captains are ML1, can be upgraded to a GM (+1A and ML2) for the same price as the GM's current ML-upgrade. Still under the 200pt mark. TRUE
~Nemesis Force Weapons have a few reworks. No more +1 invuln in melee for swords, halberds are +1S instead of +2I and the warding stave is +2S, AP4 and grants Adamantium Will. TRUE
~Paladin Apothecary is the same price as the current Apothecary upgrade (a solid 55pts less) and becomes a character. As reported, NFWs now cost points to upgrade, the previously spoiled figures are correct. TRUE

~The Titansword is +3S and AP2, all NFW have Daemonbane (successful Force activation grants rerolls to wound and armour pen against Daemons. TRUE

~NDK is a Monstrous Creature (character), same base cost, and all it's options got cheaper. PT is 45 points less than before, and the melee upgrades are dirt-cheap. With how awesome Psylencers are now, you'll be glad to know the Gatling Psylencer dropped 5pts. TRUE

Falchions are bought as a pair, S: user Specialist weapons. Just the one attack still. TRUE
GKT pricing is real, but they do have to pay for melee weapon upgrades, which are one price no matter the model using them. Special weapons are bunkered into PA and TDA price-points though (which BCs and GMs have access to, no more Ballistic Skill tax!) and a GM with Psycannon clocks in at just over 200pts. TRUE

Psycannon/sword GKTs are silly cheap now, slightly less than a Paladin. GKTs are the future, people! TRUE

EDIT: Regular banner is 12" bubble of rerolling failed morale and pinning checks and +1A to GKs in the squad.
TRUE



RELICS!!
~The Soul Glaive is a halberd that lets you reroll failed Force tests, and while Force is in effect, the weilder rerolls to hit, wound and armour pen rolls. Costs as much as a GK Strike. TRUE

~The Bone Shard of Solor gives the weilder a 3++ while within 12" of a Daemon, increasing to a 2++ for Daemons of Khorne within the same distance. Half a GK Strike in points TRUE
~Domina Liber Daemonica grants 1 extra psychic power but has to be rolled on the Sanctic chart. The bearer and all friendly GK units within 6" reroll 1s on psychic tests from Sanctic. Costs as much as a GKT Psycannon TRUE
~Cuirass of Sacrifice is TDA with FnP and IWND, costs 5 points less than a GK Strike TRUE
~The Nemesis Banner is a 12" Fearless bubble for GKs, GKs in the squad get +1A and Daemons treat the fearless bubble as dangerous terrain, but is pretty pricey and only available for Paladins (as is the Brotherhood banner). TRUE

~The Fury of Deimos is an Assault 3, 36" master-crafted Storm Bolter with Precision Shot. Not too bad, same points cost as the Bone Shard. TRUE

Sanctic is repeated in the book (so no new powers), squads have the same psychic powers as they do in the FAQ, except that Purifiers have Banishment, Hammerhand AND Cleansign Flame. BCs, GMs and Librarians have the same power access as before. Draigo has Gate of Infinity! TRUE
No new characters or units as predicted/previously rumoured. TRUE

Still no Psycannon upgrades for vehicles. TRUE



And more:

Another interesting change: Psyk-out grenades changed a fair bit. Work like defensive grenades when charged by Psykers, can be thrown and they inflict Perils on one randomly determined Psyker in the squad that is hit by it (so like Mindstrike missiles but limited to one Perils, doesn't need to hit the Psyker, just his squad which is interesting). TRUE



Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
Few questions;


A )can you write down what NFW do now? (I will miss that +2 I from hellbard, that is quite big hit, but I guess that's the way GW wants to shift meta from CC to shooty)

B ) No more psy-razors?

C ) Mind strikes are in/out?

D ) Draigo is Lord of the War? any buffs?

E) How are paladins priced now ?

F ) Any SM additions into new GK codex to replace missing Inq stuff?

EDIT: BT's questions answered as follows-

a) NFWs all have Daemonbane (while Force is active, they also allow rerolls to wound and armour pen against Daemons) TRUE

B) Unfortunately, no TRUE

c) Replaced with Stormstrike Missiles, S8 AP2 concussion, but we have the throwable Psyk-out grenades which are similar to Mindstrike. Better vs. one Psyker in a squad, worse vs. squads of Psykers. TRUE

d) Yep, LoW treatment for him too. Titan Sword is S+3, AP2 and he's 30pts less. No force org manipulation though. TRUE

e) Same as now, minimum squads of 3. Apothecaries are a whole Paladin cheaper. Land Raiders are dedicated transports (same for GKTs) TRUE

f) Nope, no new units at all which is a bummer. We're expected to ally to get armour-cracking tools now. TRUE



Purifiers can't deepstrike still, neither can Purgs. TRUE
Only change to Psycannons was the Salvo 2/4 profile, s o still 24" range and rending. DUPLICATE

Is there any Army Wide rule to make us better at Deep Striking?



Nope, and the deepstrike bonus is only for the formation that was shown in WD (It is in the codex too). TRUE
There's a biiiig formation though (fittingly called a GK Brotherhood) with a pretty awesome benefit. If you take...

1 Grand Master
1 Brother Captain
3 Strike squads
3 Terminator squads
2 Interceptor squads
2 Purgation squads
1 Dreadnought
1 NDK

...you get Rites of Teleportation (as per the other formation) and Psychic Brotherhood (While the GM is alive, all models in the formation harness Warp Charges on a 3+). It's only something viable in bigger games and the specific nature of the force means you've only got three mastery levels' worth of non-Sanctic powers to benefit from it. TRUE

NDKs will be the big thing for popping vehicles, but our answer for fliers is still going to be fliers of our own.



EDIT: Psylencer is rng24", S3, AP-, Heavy 6, Force. I wasn't joking about that. Funny how just that one word makes such a huuuuge difference to how we look at the weapon, huh. TRUE

Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
Oh, I only just noticed this. Greatsword is a Specialist Weapon that's master-crafted. Looks like it's not worth the upgrade anymore. The vanilla pair of Powerfists (Yes, they retconned Nemesis Doomfists!!) are a better option. TRUE

Only formations are the WD-spoiled one and the Brotherhood I posted earlier (which is strikeforce but better, with restrictions). TRUE

The Aegis is as per the FAQ, all GKs have Purity of Spirit (Which is just the rule that means GKs only Perils by rolling two or more 6's when using Sanctic powers unless otherwise stated (I think this means they'd still Perils if they failed to cast Vortex of Doom). TRUE

TGS is the warlord chart, basically. Warlord traits are: TRUE

1) Daemon-slayer- Warlord gains Hatred: Daemons and when casting Banishment, harnesses Warp Charges on a 2+

2) Hammer of Riteousness- Warlord and unit have Hammer of Wrath

3) Unyielding Anvil- Warlord and GKs within 12" have Stubborn

4) First to the Fray- A nod to poor Mordrak, Warlord and unit automatically arrive first turn when Deep Striking and can reroll the scatter

5) Perfect Timing- Warlord and unit gain Counterattack

6) Lore Master- Warlord knows one more psychic power than normal, must be generated from Sanctic


Bionicman, on 19 Aug 2014 - 3:26 PM, said:
Yeah, thank you Brovius for your efforts.
Psilencer is S3 ???




Sorry, typo. Psylencer is still S4. Storm Raven is still Fast Attack. TRUE




I skipped past this earlier when I was talking about the BHC, but Heroic Sacrifice is back in a lesser form. It's not tied to a psychic test but it's just a single attack, rolling to hit and wound normally. No instagibbing EW models, sadly. Herald of Titan is also gone. I also missed where Crowe has The Perfect Warrior too, so he does have to always issue/accept challenges (he's a challenge king anyway, since he gets AP2 from Smash and rerollable saves from Blade Parry). TRUE

They are the lighter armoured tracked infantry variants that features two types of cannon; a version of the familiar plasma cannon and a newer larger tech-based calibre weapon of mysterious providence. TRUE

 Adeptus Mechanicus Rumors - Apr 2015
Via Captain Citadel

The HQ unit for the New Cult Mechanicus is called a Tech Priest Dominus. This is a larger character model that is similar to the Forge World Magos models, except it is done in plastic. He is similar yet different that a Magos, robed and slightly hunched over from the arcane mechanisms mounted on his back. There are two head options one is crowned with a strange almost papal hat and the other with the normal hooded mechanicus garb. TRUE

There are servo arms that stabilize the figure to the ground and do not have free motion. He walks with an immense staff that is a much larger and more ornate version of a Tech Prist’s weapon, and also sports a cane. TRUE

The model has multiple spidery legs concealed under his robe, and is on a 40mm base. TRUE

“There will be a new combo kit for the Cult Mechanicus that contains their core unit the Electro-Priest. One version features large double handed glaives similar to the old model from the 1990’s and the other is armed with archaic looking wrist mounted shooting weapons. Both versions feature robed legs, and torsos with exposed fleshy chests that contain the bio-electrical details that they are known for. PARTIALLY TRUE

Their heads are both bare, and some are blindfolded as well. The close combat versions are wreathed in cog plate, and the shooting variant (with the wrist mounted weapons) have yet more archaic equipment grafted into their backs and heads. TRUE

They both share the same robed legs which look similar to the zealots of olde, and are topped with a very American wrestling championship styled belt crowned with a large Mechanicus cog. Their bases are smaller than 40mm.” TRUE

Adeptus Mechanicus Rumors - Apr 2015
via Captain Citadel 4-20-2015

Cult Mechanicus is coming. TRUE Their troops will be the Electro-priests that everyone has been raving about for weeks. FALSE

Via Captain Citadel

“Hate to be a bugger, but Fantasy 9th will be round bases. Once you get over the shock, it will make more sense when you see it. Don’t base your new Fantasy minis quite yet, it may be time to wait and see lads!” TRUE

Chaos Daemon Rumors / End Times Rumors - Jan 2015
The Plastic Bloodthirster is real. TRUE

Kit makes three models a normal bloodthirster with whip and Axe of Khorne, one wielding a monstrous two-handed axe, third has a doubleheaded axe and super long chain flail. The wings are really big - the model is almost as big as Nagash, and is extra tall. It is sculpted on top of a flickering flame. There are three different heads with different types of horns and helmets. Large armoured hooves, thigh straps, regular upper body strapps and gladiator kindof armour.

Warhammer fantasy Rumors - May 2014

A rumour from a spanish site (found here: http://www.cargad.com/index.php/2014...aba-warhammer/ )

They were the first to mention a release of Nagash / End Times campaign (May 29th), but did so in a context saying that this End Times campaign would be the lead to a closure of "Warhammer" (presumably WFB, not 40K), followed by a subsequent new skirmish game (presumably fantasy-ish-themed) in 2015 PARTIALLY TRUE

Release Schedule Rumors - Feb 2009

Thanks to a small bird, we give a pile you of the VERY TRUSTWORTHY news exceeds what Games Workshop will send during 2.009. Obvious, surely what it is said safe is nothing, but he is quite safe *
March: the War of Anillo. I supplement so that SdA is a game of battles and not of skirmishes. They will even sell plastic pedestals for “adapting” or “putting in rows” minis of the Gentleman of the Ring. *
April: the Imperial Guard comes. Few new miniatures, but will be something (and great). *
May: Fantasy, second big wave of miniatures of the Empire. To already known Tank Steam they are united (finally) Great the Espaderos to him of plastic. We will also see the new Altar military. *
Julio: Warhammer 40,000 Planet Strike. I supplement for planetary assaults. The stage scene says that it is the best one than it has never been seen.
* August: Elfos for SDA.
* September: You remember that we said to you that for 2,009 was going away to reedit a classic one? Then already we can say that one is SPACE HULK. With new miniatures (impressive) among others of Exterminadores and Genestealers. Without a doubt, the explosion of 2,009 (and now to hope that also they reedit Heroquest). Ah, has said to us that perhaps the price is high, so to buy in England it becomes essential.
* October: It is possible (but it is without confirming) that of Warhammer Fantasy we see the Skavens.
* In November it is highly probable that we see códex of certain chapter of Marin, but not yet is confirmed. And now, the brief news:
* For the 2,010, it almost seems certainly there will be new códex of Tiránidos and Bloody Angeles (taking advantage of the pull of Space Hulk), and says that Necrones or (attention) Tau.
* Of Fantasy the first army that we will see will be the one of Khemri. Without the news of the Beasts of the Chaos.
* There is the good news and the bad news for fans of the Eldar Dark. The good one is that the project is finished, book and miniatures. The bad one is that by low popularity of códex, its launching has discarded.
* A rumor that had appeared envelope that Games Workshop could “leave of side” printed books and to happen to give the pdf free (since already it did in Japan) is denied. That is everything. We give thanks to who has blown the news to us (that she will follow in the anonymity).

PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Oct 2015
Long time lurker/Swap Shop enthusiast here. Normally I follow rumors/leaks without ever putting word in let alone feeding information to the public. Well, over the weekend at the FLGS I spoke with a fellow player who is adamant that 'change' is on the way; and no, that quoted word is not hinting at Tzeentch. He's very confident in his source and let me in on the timeline from now til January. As usual take with your prescribed amount of salt as I relay the supposed information I gathered.

Given the expansive release of the Tau Empire they're likely going to stretch into November as well. TRUE
December shouldn't really see any releases aside from the odd paint set or bundle deals per usual. Once we hit January we're looking at Slaanesh and, unsurprisingly, the Keeper of Secrets kit release along with the Daemonkin Codex. It was not mentioned if any other models would be released alongside it. He hinted that a character KoS would also be included, but whether that's further along the line as they did with Skarbrand or not, I'm not sure.

On top of all this...? The generic Chaos Space Marine Codex WILL NOT be updated and essentially is being split off into the 4 Daemonkin Codexes. I kinda have a hard time believing this bit, but maybe it isn't so far-fetched as it sounds? Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh players supposedly will be pleased as Typhus, Ahriman and Lucius will be included in their Daemonkin Codexes.

Not quite sure what to think of it as GW has been a little radical lately and wouldn't quite put anything seemingly far-fetched past them anymore. Apologies if this has been relayed before, but I follow Chaos Rumors like a Cultist and I don't recall anything other than Tzeentch Daemonkin being predicted after Tau, which obviously conflicts with this. We'll see.

Sisters of Battle Rumors - Jan 2015
From a little Ripper Swarm to me:
Quote:
The Codex is done, the models are in production, and it's nebulously a Q2 release. FALSE
It's the Dark Eldar treatment-- rebuilt the range from the ground up, completely.

7th Edition Rumors - May 2014
Talking to my "source" (or whatever you want to call him) here's what I got:
-No known changes to psychic powers FALSE
-Assault changes where on the table at one point to try and make it more on par with shooting but it's unclear if they made it in or not right now
-Escalation and Stronghold Assault rules are in, TRUE
but profiles are not (and they were added to try and balance the Riptide and Wraithknight, paticulalry for Imperial Armies who don't have a lot of tools to shut them down fast enough) FALSE
EDIT: -Just one book, not three. FALSE
-New Starter isn't Marines and Orks . PARTIALLY TRUE

7th Edition Rumors - Apr 2014
The new rulebook is not a 7th edition of the game, but a re-issue of 6th edition which has the FAQs incorporated in it, and some minor tweaks across the board. FALSE
Some of you may remember when they did something similar during 3rd edition, where they totally overhauled the assault phase, but the edition itself was left alone from that point. Same idea here-- they're folding in the changes in Stronghold Assault into the main rulebook, and quantifying superheavy units and D weapons in the main rules. But that's about it. PARTIALLY TRUE

Blood Angels Rumors - Nov 2014
via e9832a04-6d07-11e4-9637-1fd442c0eb49
or conspiracynutt (was posted under both names)
Ok, this is either going to go down like a lead balloon or I may have just found the holy grail of rumour farming!!!!

So here goes, the next book being released for the campaign is....
Shield of Baal:Exterminatus. TRUE

Not only that but the Blood angels codex is coming with this funky little tidbit:
Codex Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard Edition TRUE
As well as:
Blood Angels Data Cards(English) TRUE

I know people will throw salt all over this, but I believe it is genuine and I have proof but I just don't want to give it away just yet in case Games Workshop patch that particular hole because it could be a potential gold mine for info.

Dark Angel Rumors - August 2012
Mortis Dreadnought TRUE
New Character that can choose allies as troops FALSE
2+ FNP on Deathwing FALSE
New Land Speeders TRUE
Blazing Sword for Ravenwing FALSE
3 banners that will characterize the army and the command team. TRUE
Different Gets Hot! rules FALSE
New Aircraft TRUE
cyclone missile launcher will have an AA if the model remains stationary for that turn. FALSE
new options for the predator. FALSE
WW AA will have the option as an upgrade and 3 different types of missile to choose before the game. FALSE
special character chaplain PARTIALLY TRUE
new psychic powers PARTIALLY TRUE
two basic troops choices and not just one. TRUE
Codex is first after the new year TRUE

Necron Rumors - Jan 2015
via Danboy Jack in the Comment sections
Necron rumors I heard are pretty dire, shop worker who is a close friend of mine got this info while he was up hq for some training purposes last week.

Gauss will now on a roll of a six be double strength against vehicles so rifles str8, the immortal ones str 10 instead of auto glancing. FALSE

the stand back up rule is gone now all necrons have a 5+ invuln save made better by a res orb by +1 on troops and +2 on characters because they have removed the 3+ invuln item res orbs 5pts dearer. FALSE

He also saw a change/notes for both flayed ones and scarabs but didn't have time to read them properly other than scarabs do two things on a 5 and a 6 now. I'm guessing an armour point gone on only a 5 now and maybe a glance on a 6? That's speculation on my part. FALSE

Please i'm just repeating what i was told today he's a bit of a joker my mate but he really was up there last week as some other guy was covering the shop.

PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Aug 2015

Specifically:

----------------------------------------------------------
"AM won't get a release this year. PARTIALLY TRUE
Tzeentch/chaos is after Tau. (TDK i don't know but chaos will be seeing more this year in the november at the very least. possible Xmas release. (or there abouts) but i have not been told anything about AM. i heard whispers of Tyranids, but no IG just yet.

BUT.....but i have been wrong before as have everyone else whom has supplied info's here. (it's all hit and miss until GW releases it- regardless of the source. as we have witnessed recently)

as always take the info any way you like."
----------------------------------------------------------

we will be getting that new sorcerer. i initially thought it was a daemon, it could well be a chaos sorcerer (chaos space marine). regardless what i heard/was told: Tzeentch will see a release (if not rules aka dex, then models) Tau ~ Chaos ~ Tyranid......then maybe AM, then another Imperial dex, possibly a supplement followed by several repacks.for Tau: * new drones* new suits* possibly new kroot and vespids.Chaos:* updated dex/TDK (either or)* Havocs (we have heard this before, but increased price point, increased number of options in kit)* something new and big.* Cultists (idk if 10 or 20 man, just that they are coming)Nids:* expect new dex, or supplement containing last big wave of nids as well as several new strains represented.* re-pack of gaunts (with options for gargoyles- wings)AM:* hardback dex* sentinel repack* rough riders* new tank/terrain feature.Imperial Dex/Supp:* IDK. wasn't listening as i was focused on finding out chaos info's (but did hear to expect something around the end of this year/start of next year, could be a campaign, could be anything at this point)that's more or less i know or can divulge at this moment. now i fully do not expect this to come true nor do i expect anyone to take me serious due in part i never share pictures or verify my info. but take this with salt and know that some or all MIGHT be released (and in the order given above)

Campaign Rumors - May 2015
via Dark Apostle on Faeit 212
daemons is what i was told....i have on excellent authority that what NF says here is 100% correct. a character and a squad (for Dark Angels). daemonkin will release after with campaign with DA v TDK. FALSE

(really if you must, choose to disbelieve me, but don't disbelieve our good pal NF, he is on the money this time)

Chaos Rumors - May 2015
via Dark Apostle on Faeit 212
they will add a new daemon character for the campaign this is one of the objectives for the DA to kill off before a mighty Lord of Change is summoned also it is a great wizard/psyker consider it to be Ahriman but in daemon form, or that is the fluff more or less for that model. not sure on release time. picture i was sent is of a model that is not a kitbash or a conversion, new sculpt. FALSE

it is not the alleged LOC model, this is in addition to the LOC.

only saw daemon character picture. awaiting image for LOC.

disbelieve until it releases you will anyway. (or some will, others will just apply a healthy dose of salt and appreciate the info's nonetheless)

Ork Rumors / Supplement Rumors - Jun 2014
via DarkWarrior1981 on Warseer
I just recieved word from someone who works for GW (higher up, not a red/black shirt), that there will be a codex supplement called Waaagh Ghazgkull. Obviously, themed around the warboss we all know. The book is listed as codex orks supplement, but it is unclear at the moment, if it will be like Clan Raukaan (so you need the codex), or standalone linke Militarum tempestus. It will be released soon, I assume shortly after the codex. It appears, that both books are already in the warehouse waiting for the day of release. TRUE


Flyer Rumors - release - Jan 2013
It contains only rules for fliers still on sale or with a codex entry TRUE
(the Dark Eldar bomber is in), TRUE
some fliers have their rules updated to 6th edition (whatever this means exactly) TRUE
the Stormraven is now available to Codex Space Marines and Black Templars as well TRUE
Also you will find the flier rules from Crusade of Fire and new missions TRUE
The book will be on sale (no pre-order) from 16th of February, TRUE
is direct only (so not from your FLGS) TRUE
english language only and will not be limited stock TRUE

Board Game Rumors - Apr 2016
Via Darnok on Warseer:

According to what I've been told, after next weeks Ghoul reboxing it should be the Silver Tower game the week after. So pre-orders on the 14th of May, release on the 21th. TRUE

Flyer Rumors - Apr 2016
Re: Flyer Game - Summer 2016

The OP is actually right, but there are two more flyers and a supplement coming before the "flyer game". TRUE


Board Game Rumors - Mar 2016
From what I have been told, this WHQ-like game is coming this May. The title seems to be "Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower", and it comes with hero models for multiple races - including human, Stormcast, Aelf, Duardin and Ogor (and I quote: "amongst others". There might even be expansions, if the base game sells well. TRUE

Orc Rumors - Mar 2016

Some kind of late Easter Egg here... According to one of my sources, the former Orcs & Goblins will get their "AoS-ification" at the end of April. TRUE
The first release is set for 30th of April, with advance orders up on the 23. In no particular order, there will be: a monster kit, a new unit of cavalry, a new unit of infantry, plus some clampack characters. Apart from the characters (no details here) the other new kits are about Ironjaws (former Black Orcs). TRUE

Orc Rumors - Feb 2016
Re: AoS - Upcoming releases

From what I've been told about Marchs O&G releases, we'll see a big monster, an infantry unit, a cavalry unit, and several clampack characters. Plus the obvious book of course.

Eh, just got word that my first batch of O&G information was off a month. Sorry everybody, it will be April, not March. It seems like some Skaven repacks, more Stormcasts and something Khorne is coming during March. TRUE

Age of Sigmar Rumors - Jan 2016
Darnok over on Warseer is on the case:

“There will be similar books for the other alliances. New Realm Gate Wars book(s) too. I have no information on the timing, except for “soonish”. TRUE

Expect some WoC repacks soon as well.”

Space Wolf Rumors - Jan 2016
Darnok - Warseer Forum

I've been told the SW will not get a new codex, but an expansion book - I guess similar to the last Tau update. There will be new models, but I have no details about them (yet). TRUE


Chaos Rumors - Nov 2015
via Darnok 11-9-2015

“There is a couple of special Chaos Knights following Archaon, as well as a Tzeentch character. A Battle Tome to go with all of them as well.

And there is more for AoS in January…” TRUE

Tau Rumors - Aug 2015

Tau in September should be about right.FALSE
There are a few more AoS releases coming, but I don't think they will stretch into October.

 CHaos Rumors - Aug 2015
I was told there was a new big kit for Khorne coming. "Exalted Deathbringer" sounds about right.
.........
Ah, okay. In that case this model is not the one I just mentioned. Think Bloodthirster size. TRUE

Chaos Rumors - Aug 2015
Plastic Fleshhounds aren't happening, at least not in the near future. TRUE

Horus Heresy Rumors
Darnok - Warseeer

Re: Horus Heresy Plastics in late 2015

There is still a lot of releases for AoS in line before the HH game is due. TRUE

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - June 2015
Just a few words of warnign about those "Dakka rumours": they sound nothing like what I've been told so far. No overlap with things that I have heard about, but lots of things that where not in that. I can not go into more detail, but to me it sounds like somebody either got a lot of things wrong, or stuff has just been made up. TRUE

Dark Angel Rumors - May 2015
I've been told there would be two more upgrade sets, so UM and DA are only the first half of that.TRUE
Devastators will be the second kit after Assault Marines. TRUE
Add a few clampack characters, and that's the SM release. TRUE
DA will only get a codex and a character (plus this upgrade frame). I don't know whether the older DA upgrade sprue will remain in production - I hope so.
TRUE
No, DA are still on their own.

 Space Marine Rumors /  Eldar Rumors /  Dark Angel Rumors - May 2015
Darnok - Warseer Forum
I can confirm that Space Marines are coming,TRUE
as well as Dark Angels. Three weeks of SM releases, one for DAs. After the AdMech stuff is done there is an Eldar armybox, FALSEand then it’s Marines.As for those rumours in the OP: eh, “rules rumours” are usually crap, as are these. I consider the “sprue rumours” to be nothing more than wishlisting too.
Well, it will be right after the SM releases, so late June or early July. And quite a lot of stuff too, should be only WHF for a while.
There is a lot of WHF coming after the SM releases are done. Just not at the beginning of June. TRUE

Release Schedule Rumors - Mar 2015
The AdMech stuff is already set in motion. On the Eldar: I've been told it's a full codex,TRUE
but only new Jetbikes (could be two boxes for different unit types thoug - interpretation of mine) and a few characters with it. TRUE

Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - Feb 2015
via Darnok on Warseer
My latest information has 9th for summer. TRUE May has something else coming. TRUE

Chaos Space Marine Rumors - Jan 2015
As far as I’m informed, this is 100% correct. New Bloodthirster, yeah! TRUE

So far I only have heard about a CSM supplement in March. Maybe some more details will surface over the next weeks.
The theme is Khorne, as far as I’m told. TRUE
Adding to the confusion now…
One of my very reliable birdies told me to not expect a new CSM codex, but only a supplement. And while it is centered around Khorne (plus at least one new unit and new models in plastic), it is not about a Legion, but a renegade warband. This is a contradiction to the rumour in the OP by S teve the Warboss, and only one set of those rumours can be correct in the end. TRUE
So apply a bit more salt than usual.

Chaos Space Marine Rumors - Jan 2015
Re: Chaos Space Marines in the pipeline

Originally Posted by totgeboren

The theme is Khorne, as far as I'm told.


Warhammer Fantasy Rumors - Jan 2015
Darnok wrote:If you like Warhammer, I suggest you better take a seat.

Over the last few months I got a few glimpses on what WHF could change to in the very near future. I have collected messages, asked questions, and tried to form a somewhat coherent picture. The one thing I believe by now is: Warhammer in its current form will no longer be supported by GW. It will be transformed into something else, with everything built up in background and most of the model range being kicked out of the door.

To give you an insight into some of the messages I got, have a look at the following. Please note that I am paraphrasing at times, and have cut out (hopefully) everything that could lead to the original identities of my friendly birdies.

No more "map of the Old World" - it's now little bubbles of reality, where pockets of civilisation try desperately to eke a living before the next collision with another bubble, which may be full of Chaos. (To address the problem of "how come my Tomb Kings of Khemri are fighting against Wood Elves from Athel Loren?", not that I get the impression that either of those will still exist, but you get the idea) PARTIALLY TRUE

- New faction... heavily armoured, religious, "good" human warriors fighting with the power of the gods. (Warhammer Space Marines, basically). Karl Franz Ascended seems to be the prototype or precursor for this concept, AFAICT. TRUE
Quote Originally Posted by Another Birdy

Model diversity cut in half shelf space. New world and new age so current factions and lore aren't recognizable at all. Each new faction has like 3 core units that will always be on the shelf. Much faster releases of stuff, mainly characters and special units of 2-5 fancy models (like Morghasts) that have their own rules right in the box, so not dependent on a static army book. Many of the these non-core models are only available for a limited time (say 6 months to a year), so they don't take up shelf space forever and ever. Many existing models are not usable in 9th. FALSE

This has caused quite a stir back at GW HQ as there are a lot of people behind the scenes (some of which are very well known to us) who don't like the changes that have been made. I have also been told that the models due to be released are some of the best to date!
Add to that (and by "Birdy Prime" I mean my best source so far): TRUE

As you can see, it will be drastic. It seems like those „Spanish rumours“ might have had some more flesh on them than I thought: I am by now sorry for my sometimes nasty words about them. And despite my remorse about ever mentioning it, I think my statement about a „ragestorm of epic proportions“ could have been correct after all.

This whole thing will turn out to be either correct or not in less than six months. Hopefully we can get over our worst emotions until then.


P.S.: I have sat on most of this since right before Christmas, but decided I didn't want to ruin anybodies holidays. I also had high hopes for somebody relieving me from this stuff... but that hope was lost.

Harlequin Rumors - Dec 2014

"As most of you will know, the next release for 40K will be Codex: Necrons at the end of January. But...

Source #1

After that come.... Harlequins. Multiple plastic kits and clams over several weeks I think including new jetbike riding ones, is there a current or old name for them? These are called sky weavers. TRUE


Apply salt as usual, but this comes from my most trusted source. Unless there is anything big I'm unaware of this should be hitting February, or March at the latest."

Necron Rumors - Dec 2014
Necrons will hit on the 31th of January (so advance orders are up on the previous Friday, the 23rd).TRUE
Codex, TRUE
clampack character,TRUE
and an army box - the latter probably a bit after the book/character. TRUE


High Elf Rumors - Nov 2014
The Elves get their turn with a twist in the upcoming End Times Series for Warhammer Fantasy. Here's the latest:

End Times Rumors 11-9-2014 (Black Library Weekender)
via Warseer's Darnok:
Now what if I tell you that 1.) the Elves ET book will come with no models alongside it TRUE
and 2.) there will be two more ET books after it?
Volume III: The Curse of Khaine (Scheduled for this year) TRUE
Volume IV: Skaven Book TRUE
Volume V: Unknown rumored final volume

The big point of contention out there in rumorland is whether or not End Times: Khaine will come with models, or be a book only release. Based on what we've seen before from the End Times series, Army Bundles to represent the listed battle hosts is a given, and both High Elves and Dark Elves have received substantial new kits in their last updates.

But then again, would a model of Khaine himself count as an "Elf Model"?

Fantasy Rumors - Aug 2014
a "big thing" for WHF at the end of August - sadly no details, but the notion of "the shape of things to come!" ... confirmed as being the return of Nagash TRUE
Nurgle gets some love in October: a book, TRUE 3 plastic kits TRUE and a clampack TRUE - again, sadly no details about this

Chaos Space Marine Rumors - Hellbrute Rumors - Feb 2014
via Darnok on Warseer
As far as I'm informed, the Helbrutes will be available a week after the Knights Codex. TRUE
It won't go up for advance order with the new Warhammer Visions though, as the Knight books have that spot. As far as I know, the Helbrutes release is the 15th (so advance order from 8th).

Eldar Rumors
There will be something in the codex called a wraithknight (almost as big as a phantom titan) TRUE

Wraithguards will be plastic with a HtH option (swords) TRUE
A new Farseer model (finecast iirc) TRUE
a character for Dire Avengers, FALSE
a new entry "something-seer" TRUE

White Dwarf Rumors - Overhaul - August 2012
WD is changing in a fairly big way. They are moving out of the design studio into completely new offices and have brought in an outsider to head up the new format magazine (a former editor of a major successful magazine). The new magazine will have increased content and is being invested in with more money by GW in an attempt to break with the concept amongst many readers that it is little more than a figures advert. They've been working on the new mag since early May (4 WDs have been released since), so I'd expect the first of the new look fairly soon, but it would give us an idea on internal turn around times when it appears... TRUE

WOC Rumors - Kroot's Daemon Thread - July 2012
Plastic Dragon Ogres TRUE
Chaos Knight can mount Dragon Ogres FALSE
Plastic Chaos Ogres FALSE

Chaos Space Marine Rumors - July 2012

WE - The treeman, however was said to be on the new monster base and about as tall as the Ogre Thundertusk's banner, and that it stylewise is more living brushwood-forest thingy than an actual anthromorphic tree. PARTIALLY TRUE

6th Edition Rumors - June 2012
Anyway, Land Speeders have the special rule "Jink", which gives them a 5+ save all the time, this changes to 4+ if they go flat out. (I'm reasonably sure all fast skimmers get this, I'm not sure whether it's a USR or just a quality Fast Skimmers get) TRUE
Also, (and I can't believe I forgot this one) models are taken from the front when they're shot. Or, to put it another way, when a unit gets shot at, models from the part of the unit closest to the firer are removed first. TRUE

6th Edition Rumors - Leaks - June 2012
- Hull Points are in, it is stated that Ghost Arks, Land Raiders, and Defilers each have 4 Hull Points apiece. TRUE
- Necrons have the ability to strip hull points for each roll of a 6 to penetrate/glance vehicles, making rapid-firing gauss weaponry very powerful at removing armour. TRUE
- Speaking of rapid fire, you can indeed move and fire once up to the full range of the weapon (it is explicitly stated that Fire Warriors can fire their weapons up to 30" away), no confirmation on the 3x fire for Relentless at half range though. TRUE
- Assault moves are indeed 2d6", but added together. Units equipped with jump packs can re-roll the dice to see how far they charge. TRUE
- The Rage USR gives you +2 attacks on the charge TRUE]
- All flying monstrous creatures have the ability to fly 24", doing something called a "Vector Strike", which is a certain amount of automatic hits to a unit they fly over, at the base strength of the creature. TRUE
- Monstrous creatures' attacks are explicitly AP 2 TRUE
- Every army must select a "Warlord" or single general to lead the army, this leader gets an ability. They can choose between three different types of abilities, "Personal", "Inspirational" or "Strategic". They then roll on one of those charts to see what ability it is. The two examples given were a Grand Master giving all friendlies within 12" his Ld of 10 (Inspirational), and a Chaos Lord being a scoring unit (Personal, the ability itself was called "Immovable Object" TRUE
- Flyers are a specific type of unit, and it is somewhat unclear as to the rules for shooting at them. Either all units require a 6 to hit them (unless they have a special rule called Skyfire), or this is still the case but only if those flyers move flat-out. Monstrous creatures with the ability to Fly also get this "6-to-hit" rule. TRUE
- You have the ability to buy different terrain (it even has its own slot on the new FOC), e.g, you can buy a Bastion with a Quad-Gun (which has the aforementioned Skyfire USR). There seem to be quite a few options for what terrain you can buy, but naturally most of them are typically represented by terrain kits GW sells. TRUE
- Now we're on the topic of the FOC, the rules for allies weren't laid out specifically, but it is heavily implied that its not the same as in WHFB. They refer to allied units as "Detachments", and there is an example of a player with a Chaos Space Marine force having some detachments of Chaos Daemons in his army. Basically, I was given the impression that it is far more common (and frequent) for a detachment from another 40k army to join a larger one, than it is for a Fantasy army to have Allies. Think more along the lines of the Storm of Magic rules for using TK, VC, or Daemons. TRUE
- Here's a biggie: Units -can- go on Overwatch, giving them the ability to fire upon an enemy unit which charges them, but at BS 1. Eldar (and any other army with access to the Clairvoyance psychic power set) can use a psychic power to give a unit the ability to fire at their usual BS. TRUE
- Monstrous Creatures have access to a special "Smash" attack, allowing them to halve their attacks, but double their strength. It mentions that this gives them the ability to destroy tanks more easily. TRUE
- It's somewhat hinted that AP will have some kind of affect against vehicles. This is because part of the Munitorum dice set includes vehicle damage dice. It specifies that some of the dice are "AP 1, AP 2, and AP 3 Damage dice", or something to that effect. TRUE
- 4 Disciplines of Psychic powers PARTIALLY TRUE
- basically what we were thinking in terms of Clairvoyance, Biomancy, etc etc. There's a chart near the back of the WD detailing which (if any) psychic disciplines a particular army gains access to. It's interesting to see that a large amount of armies don't have access to any at all. TRUE

40k Rule Rumors - Rulebook

40k Rule Rumors - Warrior's Code - Plastic - Nov 2013
Rules
GW yellow staff were being quite tight in areas. There is a new 'Warrior's Code' coming in for 2014, but they seem to apply them from this weekend. FALSE
This included:
All painted Armies. Now, GW state they will not apply a '3 colour standard' because this is open to abuse. They picked up on someone with a very basic paint scheme that was supposed to be white scar bikers that seemed to be a white primer, a wash and some boltgun metal on the bike engines. PARTIALLY TRUE

No proxies. This is subject to interpretation, but they seem to enforce it based on 'if it has a model is must be used' and conversions must be pre-approved if heavy and not blatantly obvious what the mini is. One fellow who fell foul had an immaculately painted army with Dark angel minis, but painted as White Scars. Even though it had conversions like landspeeders with twin lascannons for preds, he was made to re-write the list as a White Scars list. So the big ugly speeder was a LR etc. I thought this was quite harsh. PARTIALLY TRUE

Others included me being asked why my drop pod doors were glued shut - ummm because I don't like them flapping around, I can't be arsed to paint the insides and also because i was not aware the rules said a vehicle's doors must be modelled to open?

Rumours
Firstly, plastic T-Hawk is designed. However it currently takes 7 sprues. Apparently the problem is that the big boy kit machine can only do 6 at a time. So the sprues need rehashing to try and cram it all in to make it economical. (I know, I know...) FALSE
The other is that plastic Sisters are done. The timing of the new codex is an attempt to whittle down some apparently high stocks of current metal. FALSE

IG Rumors - Wyvern Rumor - Mar 2014

Comes with a Stormshard Mortar 48" S4 AP6 heavy 2, barrage, blast, ignores cover, shred TRUE
Armour Value is the same as a Chimera and it costs 10 points less than a Griffon TRUE

The model has a chimera hull and looks a lot like Hydra, but with two large short barrels instead of the Hydra's long Autocannons. TRUE

It is a dual kit: Astra Militarum Hydra/ Astra Militarum Wyvern TRUE

Space Marine Rumors - Feb 2015
Yeah sorry I got the Mk. IX thing wrong guys. I was right with the new armour, but it seems as Harry says, it wasn't going forward, it was going back in time. It'll be interesting to see what this new armour ends up looking like. TRUE


Space Marine Rumors - Feb 2015
via duffybear1988 on Warseer
Ohhhhhh what about MK9 power armour?
Hot off the production line. FALSE

Here's what I know -
I have been told that there is a new mark of power armour coming at some point in the future. This is to help GW protect it's IP, so expect the design to be different from any previous version. It has been suggested that it looks a bit like Ironman's armour, but I haven't seen it so I don't know how close this is to reality. I don't have a time frame for the arrival and I don't know if old kits will be phased out or if they will remain alongside it. I'm guessing/hoping that older kits will remain as they are and all new kits will feature mark IX armour. This makes the most sense to me, but then this is GW we are talking about here.

That's all I know at this stage and Harry probably knows more than me about what's coming because he's hinting at bigger shocks.
Harlequin Rumors - Jan 2015
6 figures included on the sprue (possibly one is a venom crewman). TRUE
No seer or jester on the sprue my source has. TRUE
Masks are separate to heads and there are far more masks than needed. TRUE
Lots of swords/blades for various poses. TRUE
Nearly all are in dynamic leaping/dancing poses on Eldar ruins. TRUE


I don't know about kisses. Right now I'm just passing on the details as I get them. We discussed it a little last night and think that it's possible there may be another sprue that he doesn't have that comes as part of the box. If that's the case then there may be a jester and seer as well as a troupe master included. FALSE
My source has the right contacts at GW and has no reason to make stuff up, but as usual take everything with a pinch of salt.

PENDING 40k Rumors - Dec 2016

Although I hear that 8th is to be around that time too. I can't say anything for the actual rule set, aparantly it brings a new game type. There'll be the current Unbound and the current battle-forged, but also a new tournament style format that's easier to pick up and play (it sounds contradictory to me). Something that does away with formations and the general bloat of stacking special rules upon special rules but should make it easier to balance.

As i said before though, i've got no idea of the accuracy of any of this.

Warhammer 9th Timing

The source is a GW employee in a senior position. Not design team. Very good friend of mine that has for years been trying to get me to play Warhammer and 40K which I started year ago. He let the cat out of the bag when we discussed teeing up a social game. His words were “Let’s organise a game soon and also some time get together with the other guys for a last game of 8th edition triumph and treachery. 9th Edition is locked in for release on 11th July.”TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
Q: Can you give any more indication on the psychic powers? You said that most have powers assigned to them (specifically the brood lord).
A: A number of them, some, but I doubt it is most. Tyrants for example have to roll. TRUE

I know too little about the whole set of powers. Dominion seems to be the Primaris. TRUE
Biomorphs are accessible by many creatures. Hive Tyrant is definetely on the top of the list so... TRUE

Harpy: It does have very, very interesting weapon. Cannot say which untill images start showing. TOO VAGUE
I believe that when it comes to the background description of it this is the first time ever the Tyranids get access to this kind of weapon class. TRUE
I know, cryptic and some people will say that the guy knows nothing so talks nonsense to cover the fact, but in this case just one word I would have to use would say almost everything.
Honestly I cannot find a way to describe it without making it all too obvious.

The range of wargear, the pricing of the box, the space on the sprues and wealth of options available suggests there is nothing left for such large pieces like wings.
An educated guess, the process of deduction + absolutely no confirmation there are wings = no Shrikes. FALSE

Psychic Deck - Seven cards. TRUE

Hormagaunts - I cannot say how many points - against Warseer policy isn't it? - definetely not beasts. Slaanesh fast, but not that fast. PARTIALLY TRUE
Plus fleet and move through cover. The second seems an army-wide rule (not sure about winged Tyraninds). FALSE

Carnifex - Got a re-pack. Nothing I can say about their rules. TRUE

Biomorphs are accessible by many, many models and Carnifex definetely is described as one of them. TRUE

2 Twin Linked brainleech devourer? The weapon stays. Not sure if it is as good as it was. TRUE

The Doom of Malan' tai is dead and gone. TRUE
Both big, ground beasts are from the Epic 40k, also the shooting one. TRUE
Warrior box is half-dual as I said without confirming it is this particular one. TRUE

Old One Eye and Swarmlord still here TRUE
Blind Venom stays. TRUE
Venomthrope definetely confers cover saves, but don't know if it is a cover save which can be combined with stealth/shrouded or confering stealth/shrouded to models close to it. TRUE

Still more than a full month from today. (12/8) TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
All those sets allow construction of another unit, also the Haruspex which can be assembled as... another creature from Epic 40k. TRUE

Hive Guards got another weapon option which can be seen on the leaked image.
The weapon is electricity based. No doubt inspired by Teslas, but I have no idea if it works in a similar way. TRUE

Tyrant Guards are very lovely. My most favourite models in the release combining what is the best in the 3rd and 4th metal models.
Several weapon options just like with the warriors. TRUE


I think that they got those new 50 mm bases. I was mistaken in the past with the SM Centurions so forgive me if I make commit another once again. TRUE

Haruspex is damn ugly so you will recognise it immediatelly, but its 'twin' is actually really nice looking MC. TRUE

Harpy's 'brother' is not called Eridne/however it was called in those rumours. TRUE

Hormagaunts: Cheaper and faster. Think of Slaaneshi Daemons. TRUE
Rippers: If I see it right got more expensive, but are no longer suicidal. TRUE
Hive Guard Anti Air?: I doubt it is judging from the description, but cannot disprove that entirely. PARTIALLY TRUE
Genestealers: Seem the same, but Broodlord has a fixed psychic power (no rolls) and full access to biomorphs - there is a list of those much like with wargear for other armies in other books. TRUE
Spores: No trace of them so far. FALSE
No clamshells. Perhaps a second wave, wouldn't be that weird, but mind their production capacity when it comes to plastic models is limited. Jes Goodwin said something about it when was asked about Jetbikes. TRUE
The are some repackages, though. More models in some boxes (so no Dire Avenger rip off), but don't remember how the prices will change in comp TRUE

There are definetely those four sets named in the phone call in Germany. TRUE
Dual sets (one, lets say, is half-dual), so four MCs including three new beasties. TRUE

There are also other boxes, but re-packs/army sets. TRUE

No clamshell. DUPLICATE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
The poster below was spot on. The Warriors are a new set, the last one was from 2001 so it is as with the Tacticals who got reinvented, multi-optional new sprues. Cool, useful, but they are not super-killy. Can easily be made the core of the army and have access to very many weapon options so good value for money too. DUPLICATE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
Warriors.

In my opinion definetely the centerpiece of the release. Much like the Tactical squad for the Marine codex they are something every Tyranid player - new or veteran - will have to buy. FALSE
The box includes all or almost all weapon options the Warrior entry in the current (still the current) codex has + something really nice. Still don't expect all your wishes to come true. Remember it is no more than three infantry sprues in the box. TRUE

The unit's cost.
It depends on the cost of wargear and what special rules give them - namely what Synapse Creature gives them in the new codex. Right now I can see no meaningful point decrease. Still troops though. TRUE

Tervigon.
Still troops, but comes with 'the Gaunt tax' to occupy the slot. Gaunts are cheaper so it helps a little. TRUE

Much depends on the new psychic powers the Tyranids get because it remains a psycher with randomly generated powers so unlike some psychers in the new tyranid codex. TRUE

The Big Bug.
It is big, but not that big. Remember that the Wraithknight and Eldar models in general are smooth and do not have so many limbs, vents, horns, bio-guns etc so making something as large as the Eldar fellow would create something really, really expensive - definetely in titan price range. The big bug is thankfully cheaper. TRUE

The creature is taken from the Epic 40k, but the difference in size is not so ridiculously... pronounced, but it is large enough. TRUE

Ohh and the instinctive behaviour list is expanded - with entirely new modes some creatures will take when separated from the Hive Mind.

Tyrant Guard too got something new, a weapon upgrade they will find really useful. TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
Warrior entry options seem covered, but Shrikes are a diffrent entry... cannot say for sure but with so many options in the set I doubt there is any space left... TRUE

Instinctive behaviour - clarification

As I was afraid it was misunderstood (yes I see you H.B.M.C.).
Modes stay, so if something lurks it doesn't feed. TRUE

But there are more modes than just those two. TRUE

Psychic powers
One set of 7 powers, but some creatures do not roll, but get something specific and it doesn't have to be the Primaris. TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
RE: Tyranid Prime, It is not a clamshell plastic pack. DUPLICATE

Expansion Rumors - Nov 2013
All GW produced superheavies (as in the ones already in plastic) will be in the book. TRUE

40k Expansions - Nov 2013
I can confirm both expansions.

Hardbacks, c. 100 pages long. PARTIALLY TRUE
Escalation provides rules for super heavies, gargantuans and D-weapons + 16 unit sheets providing options for all armies. TRUE
For example Revenant titan for Eldar and Dark Eldar ( I guess Tantalus was not good enough?). TRUE
I'd expect all models released in plastic + 1-2 per army. Thunderhawks are mentioned as one of those vehicles. TRUE



Basically mini-Apocalypse with about 50% superheavies which are described. PARTIALLY TRUE
The fortification supplement gives datasheets for released fortification sets, how to combine some of them and field as larger constructs + various rules for buildings, ruins etc. TRUE

Both books include missions and background sections, but fluff is not too important contrary to codex supplements. Treat them as Planetstrike, Spearhead and similar sets of rules we've seen in the past. TRUE
