I'd hope it would be a bit more interesting than that.

**blaktoof**

top secret in the past has often meant a specialist game they re released like space hulk or dreadfleet(was kind of like man o war i guess...)

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Nah,

top secret could mean anything including a data slate for something dull and predictable

everything is top secret up to the WD street date 1 week before preorders go live

Yeah I don't get GW.

They wait and wait and wait and then other companies run rings round them with superior models.

Doesn't make sense.

Makes more sense when you try to find any alternative products in a GW hobbystore. Truth be told, I've never seen any wargaming stuff sold in retail shops anywhere, except GW stores. Sure, anyone with more than two brain cells can look up stuff on the internet now, but lil Timmy out there will probalby still see his firts models in GW storefront, and there won't be any competition for the old uglies there. Chalk it up to another round of "GW slept through the internet age".

That's some really strong invented rumor writing. "SOMETHING" is coming in September!

Obviously the bloggers have learned a thing or two from the "Inquisition game" rumors from 2013.

**Azreal13**

It's utterly ridiculous and out dated thinking.

We don't have "months" anymore, we have weeks, and of course September is a black hole, we don't know what's due in two weeks with any certainty at point of writing.

The "mystery autumn box" rumour gets wheeled out every year around this time, and comes to nothing almost as regularly.

Hey, that's not a bad line of thinking. For my (nonexistent) rumors blog, I think I'll expand it a little and tie it back to the past.

- In September, GW will release Darkside, the long-awaited space combat/boarding action supplement for 40K. Included are rules for breaching starships, fighting in zero-G and vacuums, special equipment for every major faction, and guidelines for tying Darkside games into games of Battlefleet Gothic. Associated miniature kits include a plastic Dreadclaw and new plastic spaceship corridors that can also be used for Space Hulk or Zone Mortalis games.

Is that a winning invented rumor or what?

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Sshh don't tell everyone about "dreadspace" at least you didn't mention the space zombie mutants.

**Azreal13**

Guys! Please!

While I'm aware of the irony of posting this and what it might do to others, every time I see this thread bounce to the top I get hopeful, and if it's not news, but is at least some daemons related discussion, I'm disappointed but I can deal.

But if it's pointless stuff about things that aren't related to daemons, it makes my yellow triangle finger itch...

**l0k1**

I'll reword the title of the thread to accurately display the original rumor. It was originally rumored that the daemon wave would be towards the end of summer, so that's my fault.

Though the newest rumor from Larry Vela at Bols (add tons of salt) is saying the daemon stuff will be out in August.

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/07/gw-rumors-summer-schedule-fasten-your.html?m=1

Guess what's missing from the next 2 month GW schedule that's doing the rounds?

The latest scuttlebutt schedule looks like this taking us into September:

July
Stormclaw Box Set (Orks vs Space Wolves)
Terrain week (remember those new Realm of Battle urban tiles)
Space Wolves (with codex)

August
Chaos (4 week release window, taking up all month)
-Nurgle big kit
-Plastic Plague marines
-More stuff, with no specific word on 40k vs WFb, or even CSM vs Daemons...

September
All rumors fall into the black hole of September. GW has something "big and secret" in there for all their fans.

See what's not listed in there? Here's a hint - it involves the Lady of the Lake...

**Azreal13**

Awww, why'd it have to be fething Vela...

Larry Vela aka Big Red - Total rumors: (125 TRUE) / (239 FALSE) / (14 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)

and falling....

**l0k1**

I know, but we can hope. I figured I'd share the info here so more people don't give bols the hits lol.

**mitch_rifle**

Dont intend on playing 40k in the near future, but a nurgle marine box, giggity, and possibly more plastic chaos marine kits, double giggity

I hope it's a price increase!

Pah, even I have given up on ever getting plastic Cadians!

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, won't be fooled again!

**Hollismason**

I wouldn't be surprised for a Chaos Daemons Formation coming along with new plastic kits for Greater Daemons simply as they probably really want to ram Maledic down peoples throats.

i hope you're right, I'd really love to see some demon love, especially the GDs... hope the formations aren't suckballs awful.

**Hollismason**

If we do get formations I won't be surprised to see there be a dedicated summoning one.

Dreadfleet and Squats.

**zachwho**

when it comes to formations, just give me the bloodcourt or whatever it is. Angron + bloodthirsters then I'll be happy!!

**Quarterdime**

The Daemon Primarchs will never become a unit in 40k.

They're too powerful to be anything shy of a LoW.

Even then, there are how many of them? 6? 7? That's 7 LoW kits for the Chaos Space Marines. That could only ever come from Forgeworld, and even if it does it'll be 30k only.

By the way, what's a plague tower?

**Azreal13**

Actually Angron (at least) used to have 40K rules, but no model. Although admittedly for Apoc at the time, that line has been almost entirely erased now.

The Plague Tower was a war engine from the old Epic days, much like the model that "inspired" that recent Khorne Invalid Carriage Of Death™

Yeah, Warhammer Quest and BFG...

actually, if they wanted to make sure they made 100% sales on their super-secret september surprise, they could do another limited release of Space Hulk....this time with Ultra Marines or Deathwing Terminators.

Necromunda and/or Mordheim would sell almost as well.

Back on topic though, I certainly hope we do get to see some new plastic versions of the Greater Daemons...the beasts are sorely needed in plastic as well (beasts of Nurgle/Slaanesh, Khorne doggies, etc). Finally, plastic furies and harpies (possible combo box opportunity here?) would be very cool.
