Subject: GW Rumour-Round-up (Release schedule 2011/2012 and links to current news&rumour threads)
After seeing all of the rumors, the only thing I'm sure of is the fact that the 6th edition starter kit will be released after the 6th edition rulebook. That's pretty much it.
DA seem to be the new SMs this year, either that or the Vanilla Marine Codex will incorporate a lot more. Honestly I could see both happening.
The Opposite of the DA in the starter box... well, I guess either Chaos legions or Eldar. Honestly, it could turn out to be Tau. I would laugh, then cry, as I don't have enough money for both school and new Tau. I can handle DE, Necrons, and SMs, but I can't add another army to that list...
As for the rest, all I'm hoping for is May to be awesome. Why? Hopefully Necron 2nd wave, there's a Marvel Marathon at a local theater (all of the Avenger movies all day, then The Avengers at midnight, it's gonna be sweet), then Diablo 3. Between school, Warhammer, and Diablo 3, I won't have time for anything, but then I guess those are the only things I need time for.

Actually we can be fairly certian of a lot more things:
Necron 2nd wave May
6th edition in July, starter set in September with content roughly known.
Next Codex Chaos Legions.
Next army book Warriors of Chaos late 2012.
2013 Eldar and Tau Codex and Dwarf and Dark Elf army book, maybe more.
A lot of things in the works and/or ready to be released, waiting for a release slot, a.o. several fliers (DE bomber, Necron fliers, SM flier, Ork flier, maybe Harpy). Difficult to say when those things are actually released, because it is just a managment decision (e.g. plastic Daemon on the shelf for 2 years).
I think he's just sad that it never happned. The best possable thing to happen would be to have 6th come out tommorow. Then we would never have to worry about any of the codexs comming out being "old"
ok here is the deal. People are saying the way the release will go is
JAN lotr FEB fantasy
MARCH 40k APRIL fantasy
This is a bad way of thinking.
What we see actually is this
JAN lotr/evreyone, 40k, fantasy
FEB everyone, fantasy,40k MAR fantasy, 40k, everyone
APRIL fantasy, 40k, 40k
GW will release something for everyone every month...
in addition yall are about two to three weeks late on every release...
What can I say GW is just two steps ahead of rumors.

Ultramarines have only been in two out of 4 starter boxes. There have been Blood Angels, Black Templars, not forgetting that Crimson Fists where on the 3rd Codex.
Armies | Space Marines (Void Knights - Own Chapter), Space Wolves & Dark Angels | Imperial Guard Cadian and Kasrikin | Grey Knight/Sisters/Inquisitors | Empire - Hochland | Britanan (Relics) | Mordor & Gondor |

At least in the earlier starter sets the marines were very generic. The moulded squad role symbols on the latest boxes rules out certain chapters if you stick with a single style eg: DA using the horizontal double ended arrow symbol for tac squads vs the single ended upwards arrow of smurfs.
I do wonder if it is to push a certain range as they may say think for yourselves but really they want us to do what they tell us
just in Deathwing Destined for the 40K 6th Ed Starter Box, from beasts of war.
Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I got soo many mixed feelings on the Assult before Shooting.
Waaaaaaaaaaaagh! Pass me my Grog!.

I was talking to a disgruntled friend and employee of GW yesterday- they receive their copies of the new rule book in about 2 weeks, which places 6th Ed release about end of July.
All codexes from Blood Angels onwards have been written for 6th Ed.
Most likely first purely 6th Ed codex is Tau.
Most likely to be Dark Eldar and Space Marine starter box.
I did not tell you any of this!
PS. If I can, I'll try and get a copy of the rule book off of him/her.

We know most/all of this to be untrue.

We don't really know what is 'true' or not, but so far reliable rumours have conflicted with most of the above:
- Presumably meant June, rather than July, in which case it's probably accurate.
- Who knows about which Codex has been meant for 6th? I can only imagine GK and Necrons at most.
- Currently expected to be Chaos next and DA after, with no real rumours for Tau...
- Starter is expected to be Chaos vs. DA
"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of." - Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now." - Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ
