Oct/Nov release, (speculated), possibly paired together with Blood Angels in a box set (released in between their two books).
--New unit ("a Bane type unit," whatever that means), larger than a Grotesque but smaller than a Talos. Possibly rumored to be a character.
--Plastic Wracks (5 per box, rumored to be a dual kit, although what the other possible build could be is open to speculation.)
--Plastic Grotesques (3 to a box, including all weapon upgrades)
--Clampack Haemonculus in plastic
New info, 15th Sep 2014 :
Wracks get a new ranged weapon called Ossefactor.
"Each Wrack has access to (...) hooked blades and studded claws, (...) power mauls, (...), to (...)hex rifles, liquifiers and ossefactors". Power weapons for Wracks! Acothyst can take ECW, Scissorhand, Mindphase Gauntlet.
5 Wracks in a box, 29 eur. 11 different heads inside. Its not a dual kit.
This one is interesting. There are bits in the box that allow you to replace the crew of Raiders and Venoms for Wrack pilots and gunners!
Plastic Wracks look almost indentical to the Finecast ones.
New Haemy is 20 eur, looks like a cross between Urien (he has a syringe) and the old Haemy.

Probably something Pain related and then tactical objectives
I'm in if true. The only thing stopping me was all the Finecast.

If some of the rumors I've heard about 7th edition are true, then it could be a very good thing. Changes to the Skimmer rules are going to bend the DE over the pickle barrel in a hardcore kind of way.
Up 'til now I've really liked the DE codex, though. I didn't really think it needed a new release.
My main concern is the one units that don't have official models. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect (based on previous trends) one or possibly two of them to get new models, but the ones that don't seem to get axed from the recent 'dexes. Which means Asdrubael Vect, Lady Malys, Baron Sathonyx, Duke Sliscus, and Kheradruakh are all possibly on the chopping block, along with the Voidraven Bomber.
While I agree that Natkfa doesn't have the best track record, if GW is going to a cyclical release schedule, then Dark Eldar's turn in the barrel is coming up sooner rather than later.

My hope is that the Bane-thing is some kind of character. Some kind of uber-wrack, maybe.
I certainly hope so. Orks, too. But if it is indeed a cyclical release schedule, would Dark Eldar then be third in line? Or am I missing one or two?
Who else would be likely for an update soon?
I know Orks were due after 7th drops, but if the rumors that a new starter box including Orks and Blood Angels pan out, wouldn't that mean BA should be getting an update soon after as well? (like DA and Chaos Marines after 6th came out)
I'd say Orks, Blood Angels, Dark Eldar, then Space WOlves personally. Blood Angels need the sales more, while depowering the Wolves will hurt, not help, numbers.

Agreed. A model for Decapitator/Vect/Malys/Sathonyx/Sliscus would be nice. Vect in particular since his model is 5editions behind the rest of 40k.
I learned 3 editions ago that any and all DE rumors are not to be believed unless GW is the source.

I fully expect the Splinter Cannon to drop back to 4 shots.
It's too good on the Venom.

Switch space wolves with blood angels and I think it's correct, based on the folks I've heard things from that have lately been very reliable. Oh yeah, and the wolves will get a flier.
TBH, I think Blood Angels and GK need the update more (after Orks of course).
