Chaos allying with the IoM is just... wrong. After all these years, they give us this...

(7th edition: Chaos: HUG KISS PET! HUG KISS PET!
IoM: For the glory of the carebears! Use your water guns!)

Wouldn't it more likely be the Orcs teaming up with the space marines, I was told the Old ones created the Orks to combat the Necrons?

or am i wrong?

Back on topic:
I would love Necrons to play a bigger role, and I'm hoping Matt Ward does a nice job with them, but to believe he is going to finish his 40k run with Necrons? I'm calling BS on that.

All I know is that if orks get guass weaponry, we are all doomed.

That's actually Warmachine's equivalent of the WHFB Fishmen running gag.

I was being quite serious, but if Warmachine is getting My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I'm jumping ship to privateer press now. sorry GW, shoulda had more ponies.

I think that this thread will soon become a Wishlisting Thread, and the soon after that it will find its way to "40K General Discussions" and then, soon after that, it will drop into oblivion...

Another rumor I heard was that Necrons will no longer engage in combat with other races, but will instead harness the power of expressive dance.

Take it with a pinch of salt though.

Since I just started CSM I'll be happy if new stuff comes, but only if they keep all the old models.

NEW YORK (Wall Street Journal) - A surprising string of announcements have wrecked havoc on Wall Street today.

It all started with an announcement by Games Workshop Group (GAW). They stated, in a press release, that they are going to throw out their traditional business plan and simply cave into whatever the internet wanted. When asked for comment, Games Workshop CEO, Mark Wells, had this to say:

"We at Games Workshop have spent the last 35 years employing a large number of business experts who would research market conditions to determine the direction our company should go. They've helped guide our company to dominate our industry for many years. However, doing things like employing experienced personnel and conducting market research requires significant resources. So, to cut back on costs, we've fired everyone in the company with a business major and are simply using random fan websites to shape our business model."

After this press release, Games Workshop stock took a heavy nosedive. But, a few hours later, Goldman Sachs (GS) made a similar announcement. They were firing all of their analysts and traders, and simply relying on Google's trending topics to decide what to invest in. This immediately caused both Games Workshop and Goldman Sachs stock prices to rise dramatically, each more than tripling in price in only half an hour. Some experts argue that this was due to Goldman Sachs's new policy and the internet talking about the press releases so heavily, rather than an actual increase in the value of these companies.

But, the trend to let the internet decide how to run your business has been spreading rapidly. Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) recently announced that they would fix the RROD problem, and would make their XBox Live service free. This was followed by Newscorp (NWS) announcing that they were bringing back Firefly. The Recording Industry Association of America is expected to announce later today that they will no longer prosecute anyone for music piracy.

You win!

What a load of twaddle.

Yeah, unless Jervis Johnson died and I missed the memo there is no way that they are advancing the timeline. Official view in the studio is that 40k is a historical setting not something that can advance.

Suffice to say, if any of this is actually true, then clearly Elvis is hiding behind my left testicle, and Lord Lucan behind the right.

Orks actually team up when they are Deathskulls or mercenaries, but they werent created by the Old Ones, unless the Old Ones are noe Snotlings.
No, Orks are created by the Brainboyz.

@Orion_44 Luckily, Lord Jervis Johnson is alive, being summoned to write a column in the WD.

Sigging that.

Yeah, time to move this out of NEWS & RUMORS...

Anyway, back on point...

Apologies for apparent offence - my point was that regardless of the quality of WFB 8th rules and/or Storm of Magic rules the whole project smacks of being written to sell more stuff - whether the rules are good or not is irrelevant to the GW suits.

GW Exec: We need to sell more - make it so people need more stuff to play
Designer: Hey, I've created some great terrain pieces
GW Exec: give them rules, people will be more likely to buy them!
Designer: err, ok. I've also made these cool new monsters
GW Exec: make sure every army can have them, then. We must sell loads!!!

etc...

Eh, fair point. You're absolutely right in that they're just trying to push models, but the rules aren't necessarily utter crap, and I've seen such nonsense coming from people who haven't even played the game...




I feel sure whatever people's ideas are for 40k 6th a similar conversation will be held in an office in Nottingham

According to the Necron codex the Orks (Krork back then) were created by the Old Ones, along with just about every other sentient race in the Galaxy. I'd assume that the Old Ones also created the Brainboyz to lead them I miss Snotling swarmbases :(

That said, I remember the days when Squigs were a tyranid vanguard creature and Nid armies could take Squig Swarms

So many pinches of salt, I've desiccated like a raisin.

Privateer Press actually published a playtest list for them at one time. Their warlock's main attack was Sparklepocalypse.

Uh.......

Chaos and IoM together?
The galaxy is doomed....
