Another Massive Warhammer Preview Online is Coming, and it’s Mighty, Fighty, and Green
Cripes, we’re barely done with the launch celebration for Dominion, and now we’re hearing that trouble is brewing in the 41st Millennium? With the Adepta Sororitas preparing to put the Charadon Sector to the torch, you’d be forgiven for thinking things are going to simmer down a little, but as we all know in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. This time it’s the turn of the Octarius Sector.
That’s right, hot on the heels of the Dominion Celebration, we’re plunging headfirst into another Warhammer Preview Online on Saturday, this time giving you an early look at what’s coming up next for Warhammer 40,000. Following the culmination of the War Zone Charadon story in Book II – The Book of Fire, our eyes turn to Ultima Segmentum where a meaner, greener threat brews.
Those of you who know your lore will remember that of all the forces that inhabit the Octarius Sector, the Orks have a particularly large presence. Previously content to bloody themselves against the tendrils of Hive Fleet Leviathan, the local greenskins are beginning to spill out into surrounding systems and the constant conflict within Octarius is just about to reach a boiling point.
You may remember from Warhammer Fest Online that more Ork reveals are yet to come, and it’s going to be quite hard to keep the lid on them once they know we’re off to one of their favourite fighty places.*
Make sure to join us promptly on Saturday 10th July at 5:45pm BST/12:45pm EDT so you don’t miss out on any of the excellent reveals. Check out the image below to find out when the Warhammer Preview Online will be going live in your part of the world.
* After Armageddon, of course. Almost nothing beats Armageddon for a good scrap.

What surprises me is that Black Templars are supposed to come out in September / October.
Says who? GW said yesterday there will be a Chaos AOS armybook in October, plus there's Ork wave 2 and probably other AOS stuff likely to come by then too.

Yeah with the Orks confirmed, lots of rumours about Black Templars and some about Kreig/greatcoat IG. I had assumed GW were getting ready to revisit Armageddon. Maybe Helbrecht is still looking for Gaz and he ends up in the area?

Pretty packed schedule, all things considered. I'm very curious when they're going to touch on the leaked Horus Heresy pics, and when those sets will release as well.
Beast Snaggas box was supposed to be this month in July, wasn't it?

From the article…
The image shows Octarius Orks fighting nids, and they put it to illustrate Orks news incoming. I really want to be surpised by some nids love but there is nothing giving me the hope this time.

Will it be their PA stuff reprinted, Crusade rules, or something else?
With these Krieg rumours I'm now wondering if they & Orks get the new models this time, with Tyranids getting 'codex supplement' style rules for hive fleet Leviathan.
Then later we see a second Octarius book with the Nid codex.

Is the Flashpoint article in the July White Dwarf a coincidence?...
Spoiler:
White Dwarf Issue 466 is on the horizon,* and with it comes a treasure trove of Warhammer goodness including our first foray into a new Flashpoint – the war-torn Octarius sector. The opening salvos of this conflict see the mysterious Dark Krakens Space Marines clash with Hive Fleet Leviathan beneath the waves of the Mirror Sea, complete with Theatre of War rules allowing you to fight your own underwater battles.

Ever since DKoK got hit in the face with a shovel after that Forgeworld Update I've been wondering if GW would make them a plastic faction alongside Cadians. They have been incredibly popular as of late.
Still seems pretty packed with releases if we're seeing new things for Tyranids, Orks and DKOK and possibly Black Templars all at once.
Krieg + Kommandos would be a fun box set, I'd certainly consider it.

And 1 army book for 1 game is all gw can release?

There have been rumours elsewhere that one of the Ork kits would be introduced in a new Kill Team box that would have them against a squad of plastic Krieg.
Edit: Ha, god, should have reloaded the thread first.

No idea where you folk get these rumours but plakky Krieg would be one of the more exciting releases in many, many years for myself and definitely somewhat problematic for my wallet!
