Yes, I know how stupid it is to list 4chan as a monger... But it should be funny.

Genestealer Rumors - Feb 2014
via 4chan: *
I gave you Chaos Marines, Dark Angels and SM. Now I give you this. You've been wishing for it for a long time, but hope everyone's ready to be disappointed.

>Dataslate: Shadow Within FALSE
>24.99$
>September
>Contains two seperate sections: Formations & missions for Codex: Astra Militarum, and similar for Codex: Tyranids. Plus the usual fluff garbage.
>Cannot be used to make a stand-alone army like Inquisition, you need either of the two codices.
>No new models released alongside this, everything uses pre-existing kits.
>If you take a formation then you cannot bring in any kind of ally.

>AM-side formations: Special HQ Broodlord with "Patriarch's Will" rule; Genestealer Brood with mandatory Broodlord & additional deployment options, Troop Hormagaunts with "Dormant Eggs" rule. FALSE

>T-side formations: Elite Psyker Battle Squad with "Hive Conduit", Elite Stormtroopers, Troop Penal Legion. No transport options, every formation has to footslog. FALSE

>More missions than in any other dataslate. some seem very similar to Planet Strike (one in particular: "defender" starts with only troops on the board, everything else must roll on reserves to enter (5+, only three units can arrive per turn), attacker must capture objectives held by defender.) FALSE

Tyranid Rumors - Jan 2014
Battle for Iyanden Warzone FALSE
Poster says that it will be accompanied by three releases:
Hierophant / Viciator Kit (WOW!) FALSE
Zoanthrope / Venomthrope Kit FALSE
Pyrovore / Biovore Kit FALSE

Viciator’s are bio-titans similar in stature to Hierophants. Their carapace is covered in grizzly barbs and hooks and their long legs help them stride across the battlefield. Hanging under their thorax is a large devourer weapon-symbiote, as the Viciator lurches forward thousands upon thousands of worms are coaxed out of the weapon by powerful bio-electric jolts. Viciator’s have a terrifiying fanged maw, with-in resides a symbiote that could be more dangerous than the brainleech worms it harbours. A strange creature is bound inside its mouth, and when opened, the beast will shoot concentrated blasts of acid that can chew through armour with ease. Vehicles that the worms are unable to penetrate are often given an entrance after this weapon symbiote melts a hole through its hull. FALSE

Dark Eldar Rumors - Sept 2014
via a reader on Faeit 212
Just listened to this weeks 40K Radio podcast - and they mention briefly that Dark Eldar are confirmed for pre-release next weekend (20th) and release in two weekends (27th). TRUE

They follow it up with their usual caveat of "this is not a fact", but also joke that "everything that is not designated a fact is, ultimately, a fact".


Ok, it seems a nasty rumor is making its way around the interwebs. Many forums are saying 40k 7th is switching over to % based lists. We are here to 100% confirm that is not happening. TRUE

We have always told you guys the truth about everything in the past 12 months. Our source has been spot on with everything from release schedules to what each army will have.

So please rest easy knowing that force org will still be in the game.

These are facts, not rumors from your trusted source for insider 40k news, not 40krumors.

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
Ok some more news. There was a slight misunderstanding of the new IG name....Astra Militarum. No extra "I" in there. And from our source there will be a mix of Cadian and Catachan releases for Astra Militarum. So tHigh Elf Rumors of Catachans going away would appear to be incorrect. TRUE

IG Rumors / Knight Rumors / Wood Elf Rumors - Jan 2014
via Lion 275 on Warseer
IG will be in April. March will focus soley on the Imperial Knights. Followed by Wood Elves in May... TRUE

It sounds like Imperial Knights will be a Dataslate or a mini codex. I bet you see it in the WD then have it come out in Dataslate/mini dex. From what we were told it will not be in the IG codex and will be able to ally with various armies. DUPLICATE

IG is getting a new name with their new codex a la SoB. According to 40K Radio's source, they'll be renamed to the Astra Militarium. TRUE

Yup a brand new name. The book is called Astra Militarium. DUPLICATE

I am just going by what our source has told us. Could be a legal issue, could be they are incorporating more things into the Codex. Time will tell.

And I want to re-iterate Knight ARE NOT part of Astra Militarium (IG). TRUE

IG Rumors / Knight Rumors - Feb 2014
Imperial Knight Titan: 1 kit will make all the versions. TRUE

Imperial Knight Titan Codex: Three armies in this book.
1st Army: Imperial Knights Army TRUE
2nd Army: Mechanicum Army FALSE
3rd Army: Freeblades Army (Mercs that can ally) PARTIALLY TRUE

Warhammer 40k 7th Edition (Yes it is called 7th ed) in May.

Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard):
Stormtroopers (plastic) TRUE
Bullgryns (old Ogryns) DUPLICATE
Commissar Squads FALSE
New Larger Transport TRUE

Stormtroopers, Commissar Squads, and Bullgryns are Astra Auxilary. These units may be taken as "plug-ins" to other Imperial armies. FALSE

Catachans and Cadians are covered in the new codex. Catachans are not going to direct only. TRUE

Orks are in June. DUPLICATE

IG Rumors
via Rik on 40k Radio
So some exciting news. A listener of ours was at a GW store today that mistakenly received a shipment of some unreleased items. It was the plastic Ogryn kit. The rename is confirmed as they were called Militarum Auxillia. Boom! Nailed it. PARTIALLY TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - Feb 2014
I prefer GW's made up Latin to what they have now. I can't wait until they re-brand Space Marines as Adeptus Astartes... From what our source told us Space Marines will get a name change in the future. FALSE

Ork Rumors - Jan 2014
Orks are due in June and not September. TRUE

7th edition Rumors - Jan 2014
Some updates on 7th edition: 1) It will napurely be a book release. TRUE
2) It could be released as early as May. TRUE

On the Chaos Space Marine Releases. 1) Look for the stuff to be released beginning of summer. TRUE
2) Crimson Slaughter(CSM in the DV starter) might receive a Supplement as well. TRUE

Knight Rumors - Jan 2014
As you may have seen on other sites Febraury is all about the Dwarfs. So for you fans of the short and bearded get pumped. March will see the release of Imperial Knights. This year is shaping up to be a good one. DUPLICATE
We believe it will be release through the new WD format. The week of the Release, you will get the rules in the WD. TRUE
they said it was for ALL imperial armies. TRUE

7th Edition Rumors - Dec 2013
The big 40k rumor is: This summer GW will release 7th edition 40k , TRUE
and 9th edition Fantasy has been shelved, for now. TRUE
They way it was explained to us is that 7th Edition will be made to include the new Escalation and Stronghold rules. I would also not be surprised to see the Dataslates added to the main rule book. TRUE

First 5 months of releases for 2014

Dark Elf Rumors - Sep 2013
- Warlocks appear to have one hand weapon TRUE
- The new chariot crew is armed with spears and what looks to be a large crossbow or bolt thrower on the chariot. TRUE
- The new Warriors look quite different to me. But then again I am a big geek that notices stuff like that. They have cloaks that come down their back and all the helmets don't cover the eyes any more. TRUE
- The warlocks are bare chested, and the weapons look mundane...aka not glowing. They look like large jagged daggers. They are held in reverse grips which looks pretty slick. The warlock champions eyes are glowing which IMO hints at some magical abilities. md as far as the warriors go I think a big difference will be the size of them. Look at the size difference between Isle of Blood Lothern Sea Guard and the normal High Elves spearman. TRUE
- (Hydra) It looks bigger and beefier. Like we said Dark Elves are setting the bar for the best range of models in WHFB. TRUE
- The cloaks hang down from underneath the shoulder armor and cover the back of the chain mail. It definitely is new for them but it looks really cool. The Druchii warriors also have shoulder armor. It makes them look simply awesome. The skull embossed on their shields looks great too. Yes the Hydra does have 2 handlers. TRUE
- The Warriors, Black Guard, and Dark Riders all have cloaks. None of them appear to have face coverings. The Executioners appear to have skull faced helms. The theme to me appears to be a more sinister version of their High Elf bretheren. The plate armor has very spiked and jagged edges. The style will still fit well with the Shades and Reaper but next to these new models they will look very dated. TRUE
-The Kraken has 5 heads/fanged maws. The have spines and scales with smooth neck and belly flesh. Scales are painted a Dark Grey with the softer flesh painted blue. Looks awesome. TRUE
-The pictures we have of the Witch Elves has them with two hand weapons. TRUE
-Black Guard look very stalwart with large halberds and high helms with 3 spikes on each side with a flowing plume on top. Their armor is black trimmed in gold and they have dark purple cloaks. The unit champion is holding a sword by the hilt with the blade planted in the ground. Musician is a drummer. TRUE
-The executioners have what look like skull helms, and their armor is a brighter silver than the Black Guard. Their tunics are red in color and the Draiches are all held on the left hand side of their bodies (their left our right). They look very cool ranked up. TRUE
- The Dark Riders are very cool looking. Sleek looking horses with only a bit of armor. All of the Riders are hunched over in the saddle to give the illusion of speeding fast cav. The helmets appear to be open faced and they are armed with spears in the picture I have, once again that doesn't mean they wont get crossbows (in the pictures we have they are in the back ground behind the Warlocks). TRUE
- The Kraken doesn't have tentacles, it has four legs with webbed appendages ending in claws and it also has a tail. TRUE
- The Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne look very cool. If you are a fan of the newer larger models GW has been putting out for WHFB you will really dig it. It is a bit toned down compared to the Empire Celestial Hurricanum/Luminark of Hysh and has blades and hooks on it to make it very sinister and Dark Elf. TRUE
- Execs use swords (phew!). TRUE
- Black Guards look "amazing", with bulkier shoulders and tall helmets with plumes, so I guess pretty much like they look now (in that respect at least). TRUE
- The Cauldron has six wheels and two staircases leading up to the platform with the big statue of Khaine. It is not pulled by anything, so maybe (my assumption it will be used like the Screaming Bell? Three Witch Elves on it, lots of spikes and blades. TRUE
- The Witch Elves have loincloths and bras (obviously) and look "vicious". TRUE
- On the Throne, there is something that looks like half-Witch Elf, half Medusa, with snakes as hair. TRUE
- The new Hydra is beefier than the current one. DUPLICATE
- And the WEs on the Throne use spears. TRUE
- Warlocks are bare-chested, with long flowing hair, painted white. They seem to have black eyes (or no eyes), except for the champion, whose eyes are glowing. Dark Riders are cloaked (of course), and hunched over in the saddle, in order to present a low profile. TRUE


Dark Elf Rumors - Sep 2013
NEW RUMORS for Warhammer Fantasy! My "source" has sent me pictures of the new Dark Elf release. The Dark Elves will be out in October with a slew of new models:

1) NEW Plastic Dark Elf Warrior Box(Makes Spearmen, swordsmen, & crossbowmen) TRUE
2) NEW PLastic Dark Riders/Warlocks TRUE
3) NEW Plastic Blackguard/Executioners TRUE
4) NEW Plastic Coldone Chariot/Scroungerunner(Pulled by horses) TRUE
5) NEW Plastic Cauldron of Blood/Blood Throne(This model is AMAZING) TRUE
6) NEW Plastic Hydra/Kraken TRUE
7) NEW Plastic Witch Elf box TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - August 2013
"Centurions: The guys are a heavy support choice. They're a marine cased in heavy armor with powerfist with lascannons under slung on one pic and heavy bolters on the other. Think of a heavier terminator armor that a marine straps into. I think this is where Chaos Oblits came from. They look to be on 40mm and I'm really starting to dig these models. TRUE

Plastic Chaplain: Like other plastic HQ's that have come out. He is armed with a Crozius and bolt pistol. He has ornate armor and he is in a dynamic pose. TRUE

Plastic Librarian: Same as above regarding previous HQ releases. He is helmetless and he's armed with a staff. He also has a wicked cherub flying off his pack pack. I really like this model. TRUE

The Hunter: I believe this will be anti-air rhino. Its a cross between Vindicator Heavy Armor and a whirlwind style weapon mounted on the back. It comes with two cannons that have three barrels. TRUE

Vanguard Plastic: I saw two separate pics one armed with TH/SS and one with a pair of Lighting claws, finally. Same Marine bodies just with some new iconography to freshen up the models. TRUE

From what I have seen so far the Marine release is going to be huge for GW. Sorry about no pics but I promised."

via 75hastings69
Plastic vermin lord, other Skaven stuff.
Also it's been a long while but iirc there's still some as yet unreleased big kits, a big dwarf Warmachine with smashy fists and a large angry looking statue type thing, possibly of elvish design?

Tau are next, then Eldar. Sisters, Templars, Orks, and probably Nids need books before IG does.

75hastings69 response
Not quite, remove sisters & Templars...... replace with SM & IG....... Although the order of them might be mixed up a bit

Oops my mistake, I thought you were listing the order, then I realised you were listing codex that need updating before IG ....... still a little further look ahead in the future of 40k never did any harm did it?

Sisters Rumors
Please treat this as a rumour, but I may have some info on this.

My info goes like this. As of next year around July 2015 GW will hand over Sisters of Battle to Forge World and they'll be a full multi part resin kit.

However, this is only for a short as if what I am hearing is true, you see if the info is correct, GW is introducing a new Faction into 40,000 and it will be called "Children of Chaos"
this new "Chaos" faction will be basically Space Beastmen. However bringing in a new faction means the culling of an established faction and according to what I have been told there is no place for plastic SoB.

This ties in well, as Forge World will bring out a rehash GW Codex for SoB but under "Forge World" title, but they can only be fielded as an auxiliary force and not a stand alone army. As I have said this will be a short time and by the 1st Qtr of 2016
Forge World will withdraw SoB from the range, this has been done this way so that GW and Citadel Miniatures can wash their hands of SoB and the squatting of SoB will be Forge Worlds fault.

I hope this is wrong, but I have had it told to me more than once and one of those is a former games developer of GW that shall never be named.

High Elf Rumors - July 2012
HE - Imrik making a return, his inclusion possibly acting like Skrag but for True Dragon Princes. (This ties in with the popularity of the Caledor novels depicting mass dragon combat, the Storm of Magic novella, AND the Graham McNeil 2 part novel.) FALSE

I heard whispers that Vetock was going to do/has done the Dwarf AB. Not confirmed, but likely. SPECULATION

Dwarf Rumors - July 2012
Dwarves - Squadrons of Gyros are being considered. FALSE
Dwarves - Latest 'Blackfire Pass' WHFRP supplement specifically mentions 2 new machines available to Engineers - The War Zeppelin and a 'warmachine in the likeness of an ancestor.' Such fluff has to be OK'd by GW HQ, so they're happy for both to be canon, which would suggest that whatever the Dwarfs get, it'll be one if not both of these.... The artwork in numerous recent GW releases picturing both would lend further weight to this rumour. FALSE
Dwarves - Blackfirepass supplement. FALSE
Dwarves - Forgeworld have also confirmed they will be releasing a Zep kit, just not when. FALSE
Dwarves - They are also releasing their own Dwarfs in much the same way as their CDs. FALSE
Dwarves - Concentrating on named character models. FALSE

Ork Rumors - Jun 2014
I don't have any websites or anything to prove this but my local store owner hinted to when the new Ork codex is coming out, I was in the store and I brought it up and he asked if I was saving my money for it and I replied yes then he said "see you next Friday" (today is Tuesday 17th) so that is the only way I know when it is coming out he doesn't often give hints to when a product is scheduled to release but I trust him FALSE

Tau Rumors - Oct 2012
the old trackers (elite cavalry with sniper rifles) FALSE
vultures (fast attack jump infantry) FALSE
ridden kroot monsters previously from fw FALSE

Wood Elf Rumors - August 2012
Not so much a packmaster, but the new Alter Kindred takes on the form of an animal/nature and becomes some form of monstrous beast/infantry, apparently. FALSE
The fluff being they give themselves over to the forest, and take on its aspects, sort of like miniature orions, rather than being a shapeshifter atypical druid. FALSE
Playtested versions have seen "proxied" varghulfs with extremely fast movement, so that may mean that they can take on an aerial aspect that gives them fly. FALSE
As for the monstrous cav, I am lead to believe that wild riders current iteration is still viable in the rules. FALSE
Chariots meanwhile, I have heard absolutely nothing about, other than suggestions of an altar type of unit acting like a mortis engine with its "spirit host", but that has been dismissed by my sources as pure wishlisting. FALSE

Lizardmen Rumors - August 2012
- late summer/early autumn release next year for Lizardmen, TRUE
-"super monstrous cavalry" unit; units of Carnosaur mounted Saurus;FALSE
- new plastic carnosaur (singular);TRUE
- It will also be the first time in 8th Edition (to date) that a character will be able to ride the same monstrous beast as the unit in its army - FALSE

- Slann now becomes a multi-part plastic set - availability for a Relic Priest (Kroak, including Deathmask), a normal Priest, and a special limited edition plastic combination pack (similar to the Exalted Daemon Chariot) that combines a Stegadon and a Slann Priest to recreate Mazdamundi. In addition, they get access to Disciplines, but these may not be taken more than once. Reading into rumours suggests that Slann have Loremaster (see below for reasoning). FALSE
- All Saurus armies become "viable" thanks to the return of Sacred Spawnings - units can purchase Sacred Spawnings like a Mark of Chaos, while characters get access to them off the bat. One will allow them to join Temple Guard units, others will give benefits to specific units, like Magic Resistance or Devastating Charge (Sotek?), while others (like Itzl, or whatever the Cold One Riders are), are already included within their stats. FALSE
- Razordons and Salamanders become a Dual part plastic Monstrous beasts + handler kits, 2 Monsters and 6 Handlers to a set. FALSE
- Couatl model - working like a Terrorgheist in that it can be both a mount (rumours are to be available at sub-200 points to allow 2 to be taken for heroes in 2400 games) and a monster, presuming rare. FALSE
- The Stegadons become special choices as well, with a unit "upgrade" to Ancient stats, and a weapon "upgrade" to didgeridoo blowdarts. Skink Mounts still available IIRC. FALSE
- Skink Priests gain access to Beasts as well as Heavens. In addition, Skink Priests may become "attendants" to a Slann - basically I read it as a Skink Priest option allowing it access to the same Lore the Slann itself knows. Reading into that suggests that Slann have Loremaster as standard. PARTIALLY TRUE
- The return of the Arcanadon - one thing that every non-lizard player is going to hate, a pokemon venusaur/stegadon crossover which takes in solar power to create a blast of magical light, in the form of a cannonball/stone thrower/flame cannon/breath weapon monster. Although nothing concrete about the presumed dual nature of the kit, it could possibly be a much "wanted" Thunder Lizard capable of making thunderstorms. This is eerily reminiscent of the Luminarks/Hurricanums however, so I am EXTREMELY DOUBTFUL and think is little more than wishlisting. Combined with the Couatl which is also a "thunder/weather" monster, this might be crossed wires, OR wishlisting (I believe the latter, though). SPECULATION
- Apparently Nakai will return - an apparently unbreakable "autohealing" monster non-general hero choice. FALSE

Wood Elf Rumors - Aug 13 2012
- Plastic Dragon (Spellweaver/Highborn option) FALSE
- Plastic Set for Eternal Guard equipped with Saearath - presuming 10 to a set like High Elven Elites, including full command. TRUE
- Wild Riders, they're becoming "larger" and "much deadlier", including vine/ivy wreathed horns and "immense mounts" - matching the Orion, Vaults of Winter novel description FALSE
- Scouts become their own unit choice TRUE

Bret Rumors - July 2012
Brets - Trebuchet flaming ammunition would create an area of dangerous terrain. PENDING
Brets - Battle Pilgrims are being removed, in favour of the reliquae acting as a potential battle standard bearer and allowing men at arms to take swords and shields, as opposed to spears/halberd limitations. PENDING
Brets - They are toying with removal of lance formation and replacing that with monstrous cavalry rules for breton warhorses. PENDING
Brets - The fireball throwing trebuchet, being a dual plastic kit, one being a trebuchet and another being developed as launching some form of wine barrel as an explosive, as per a mangonel similar to as seen in medieval 2 total war games. PENDING
Brets - The reliquae is a dual kit, becoming more like a screaming bell. The dual part nature of the kit is hazy, but possibilities I have heard from range from a large standard (similar to carroccio standard from medieval 2 total war, to a more 'crazy' design relating to a damsel in distress, where a damsel is held in tribute to some passing monster, causing the bretons to rage when said damsel in distress gets eaten alive by a hungry wyvern. PENDING
Brets - Hippogryph with parts to represent louen as well as an unarmoured, uncaparisoned, unmounted version to represent a storm of magic version. PENDING
Brets - Dual plastic kit for royal pegasus/unicorn prophetess/paladin/faye enchantress. PENDING
Brets - A foot knight hero is to be available to represent a duke of montfort, along with his dismounted knights. PENDING

End Times Rumors - Oct 2014
via Arthurius11 on Warseer
As usual this is not 100% but I have heard the elves book is going to be called end times : Khaine. Also that there will be no new dark elf models with it. Take that as you will. I personally hope that is wrong or incorrect as I was hoping for new Malekith or morathi models. But leaves door open for other possible elves models / units. We will see as it is still a while away on those ones.

Ork Rumors - Jun 2014
We’ve been hearing on the grape vine that Looted Vehicles might be going from the upcoming Ork Codex and with that in minds we thought we’d see what you’re favourite vehicles were to bosh together for the glory of your Warboss and the Waaaaaaaagh! TRUE

Of course there were some firm favourites to loot but with Orks your mind can go utterly wild! So, if you don’t see an option below in the poll that you like then fire up your typing fingers and let us know what you loved converting for your green tide of awesomeness!

There’s nothing stopping you from doing this kind of thing in the new edition of course, Orks are resourceful, but if Looted Vehicles really are going to the scrap heap what will you use your looted vehicles as?

Ork Rumors - Jun 2014
Formation - 'ork warband' - warboss, mek, unit of nobs, six boys mobs, one unit of grots. Gives Boss of the Waaagh! Greenskin Hordes and Stampede rules.

Boss of the Waaagh! Lets you re-roll your warlord trait if taken as a primary detachment.

Greenskin Hordes. "Evey unit with ten or more models in the detachment gains the Hammer of Wrath special rule... and in every assault phase in which is successfuly charges an enemy unit the dice rolled for it's charge range in ten or more before modifers..." The wording here is confusing; not sure if it means that Hammer of Wrath only works if you roll ten or more, or if there was another rule which got cut out.

Stampede! If the formation's warboss is your warlord, he can use his Waaagh! special rule each and every turn after the first. This implies that warbosses have a special rule called 'Waaagh!' which usually can't be used every turn.

Detachment 'ork horde'. HQ, three troops, elite, fast attack, heavy support, fortification and Lord of War. Gives Greenskin Hordes and Boss of the Waaagh! Not sure if 'elite, fast attack and heavy support' was meant to mean one of each is compulsory.

40k Expansion Rumors - Nov 2013
I've been hearing talk of a couple of new expansions for 40K due for release next month:

The first is a fortifications expansion, containing new datasheets and missions for use in regular 40k. I'm also under the understanding that some of these datasheets allow you to take several fortifications as a single choice. TRUE

The second expansion brings superheavy vehicles (and gargantuan creatures) to regular 40k. My understanding is that this will be achieved by adding a new super heavy slot to the force org chart, and that you will be limited to the choices detailed within this expansion (I think there's approximately 15 of them). This expansion will also include new missions. TRUE

Sisters of Battle Rumors - Codex - Sep 2013
via Best_Pone on Warseer
Codex: Sisters of Battle
An interesting tidbit I overheard being discussed recently is that Sisters of Battle are getting a digital codex release soon. Unfortunately, I'm still in the dark as to if there will be a physical codex release, or whether this is new material or just a repackaging of the current list. TRUE

Space Marines Rumors - August 2013
Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines. TRUE

- There will be 7 Ltd Ed varients. 6 of these will be covers for First Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover. TRUE

- New weapon family: Grav weapons. I believe these wound against the armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness of 2). TRUE

- First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Ultramarines. This will also show in a rule called Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being played. TRUE

- There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it appears to go over the marine's power armour however. TRUE
- This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. The devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. The assault version has a bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault drills mounted on the gauntlets. TRUE

- There are 2 new AA tanks. One tank veterans will already be familiar with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The other tank mounts 2 tri-barreled turrets instead. TRUE
- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle. TRUE

- A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad. TRUE

- A new plastic Vanguard veteran squad. TRUE

- New plastic characters: a captain, a librarian and a chaplain. TRUE

Chaos Marine Rumors - Black Legion - July 2013
So, I've heard from a little birdy that Black Legion will be getting the next supplement. No idea if that will be August or not though, seeing as August is a WFB month. TRUE

Space Marine - Rumors - June 2013
Has anyone mentioned the company masters yet? Marine players are getting some more of the company masters. I believe they're the masters of the reserve companies. TRUE

Apocalypse Rumors
You've already seen the Chaos and Necron superheavies. DUPLICATE
You'll also get some fortifications - giant gun/missile emplacements and the like. These are also designed to hook up with the Wall of Martyrs terrain. TRUE
As well as the Apocalypse rulebook, there's also a collector's edition and a gamer's edition. TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
"To be fair, the flyers and wraithknight are the new shiny things, so they're going to be what grab the most attention. TRUE
You are getting new wraithguard - it's a double pack that also do a close combat version. Both types will also have weapon options. TRUE
The Finecast that I've seen are a spiritseer TRUE
and a ranger TRUE
and your new battleforce replaces the warwalker with a viper." TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
I'm not sure how to break this to you really. The Wraithknight... looks down on your puny flyers? TRUE

Talking of flyers, they do put me in mind of the anime Battle Fairy Yukikaze. I won't try drawing either of them this time though, as that didn't turn out so well last time PARTIALLY TRUE

Eldar Rumors - May 2013
The main hull and wings are common across both builds. It's amazing how different tail and fin positioning can alter the look of the aircraft though TRUE

Common features: TRUE
- Downward angling of the primary wings (about 30º I'd estimate)
- Canards are very slightly angled down, but near horizontal
- Engines are mounted in pods in the wings
- One weapon mounted centreline under the hull, and one in a pod in each wing

Hemlock:
- Has a single vertical stabiliser mounted on the centreline of the aircraft TRUE

Nightshade:
- Twin "vertical" stabilisers (they're actually about 30º from horizontal), one mounted on each engine pod. PARTIALLY TRUE

Eldar Rumors - April 2013

The pods on the wings of my drawing are the engines by the way, and yes, this fighter doesn't have a forked nose. Overall, the length of the Hemyock is a little longer than the Wave Serpant chassis, and the cockpit is located in the nose of this particular design. TRUE

Oh, and I think you're all expecting the obligatory mega-walker. From the glance I got, it looks like a wraithlord scaled up to twice the height I guess. DUPLICATE

High Elf Rumors - March 2013
I can confirm the flying chariot. It looks like a tiny boat with wings, and is pulled by a single giant eagle. It looks kind of silly in my opinion, but not much that can be done about that. TRUE

As for the phoenix, it can be made up either as a fire phoenix or an ice phoenix. This one at least look pretty cool (or hot, depending on the option you choose I guess ) TRUE

Both of these will be plastic kits:
- A unit of lasses that look to be using bows formed from water. They're something to do with Avalon? TRUE
- A unit wielding bows and swords, with face-covering helms. I understand these to be called Shadow Soldiers or something to that effect. TRUE

Release Schedule Rumors - Dec 2012
March/April - Wood Elves FALSE

Space Marines Rumors - March 2013
Hmmmm, very interesting, this sounds a lot like something that I've seen play tested at certain events. Might be a coincidence but if it's the same thing then I'd expect this "suit" to essentially be a mini-Contemptor dreadnought similar to the RT-era type, designed for living Marine heroes to wear into battle and then leave afterwards.

Falchions are bought as a pair, S: user Specialist weapons. Just the one attack still. TRUE
GKT pricing is real, but they do have to pay for melee weapon upgrades, which are one price no matter the model using them. Special weapons are bunkered into PA and TDA price-points though (which BCs and GMs have access to, no more Ballistic Skill tax!) and a GM with Psycannon clocks in at just over 200pts. TRUE

Psycannon/sword GKTs are silly cheap now, slightly less than a Paladin. GKTs are the future, people! TRUE

EDIT: Regular banner is 12" bubble of rerolling failed morale and pinning checks and +1A to GKs in the squad.
TRUE



RELICS!!
~The Soul Glaive is a halberd that lets you reroll failed Force tests, and while Force is in effect, the weilder rerolls to hit, wound and armour pen rolls. Costs as much as a GK Strike. TRUE

~The Bone Shard of Solor gives the weilder a 3++ while within 12" of a Daemon, increasing to a 2++ for Daemons of Khorne within the same distance. Half a GK Strike in points TRUE
~Domina Liber Daemonica grants 1 extra psychic power but has to be rolled on the Sanctic chart. The bearer and all friendly GK units within 6" reroll 1s on psychic tests from Sanctic. Costs as much as a GKT Psycannon TRUE
~Cuirass of Sacrifice is TDA with FnP and IWND, costs 5 points less than a GK Strike TRUE
~The Nemesis Banner is a 12" Fearless bubble for GKs, GKs in the squad get +1A and Daemons treat the fearless bubble as dangerous terrain, but is pretty pricey and only available for Paladins (as is the Brotherhood banner). TRUE

~The Fury of Deimos is an Assault 3, 36" master-crafted Storm Bolter with Precision Shot. Not too bad, same points cost as the Bone Shard. TRUE

Sanctic is repeated in the book (so no new powers), squads have the same psychic powers as they do in the FAQ, except that Purifiers have Banishment, Hammerhand AND Cleansign Flame. BCs, GMs and Librarians have the same power access as before. Draigo has Gate of Infinity! TRUE
No new characters or units as predicted/previously rumoured. TRUE

Still no Psycannon upgrades for vehicles. TRUE



And more:

Another interesting change: Psyk-out grenades changed a fair bit. Work like defensive grenades when charged by Psykers, can be thrown and they inflict Perils on one randomly determined Psyker in the squad that is hit by it (so like Mindstrike missiles but limited to one Perils, doesn't need to hit the Psyker, just his squad which is interesting). TRUE



Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
Few questions;


A )can you write down what NFW do now? (I will miss that +2 I from hellbard, that is quite big hit, but I guess that's the way GW wants to shift meta from CC to shooty)

B ) No more psy-razors?

C ) Mind strikes are in/out?

D ) Draigo is Lord of the War? any buffs?

E) How are paladins priced now ?

F ) Any SM additions into new GK codex to replace missing Inq stuff?

EDIT: BT's questions answered as follows-

a) NFWs all have Daemonbane (while Force is active, they also allow rerolls to wound and armour pen against Daemons) TRUE

B) Unfortunately, no TRUE

c) Replaced with Stormstrike Missiles, S8 AP2 concussion, but we have the throwable Psyk-out grenades which are similar to Mindstrike. Better vs. one Psyker in a squad, worse vs. squads of Psykers. TRUE

d) Yep, LoW treatment for him too. Titan Sword is S+3, AP2 and he's 30pts less. No force org manipulation though. TRUE

e) Same as now, minimum squads of 3. Apothecaries are a whole Paladin cheaper. Land Raiders are dedicated transports (same for GKTs) TRUE

f) Nope, no new units at all which is a bummer. We're expected to ally to get armour-cracking tools now. TRUE



Purifiers can't deepstrike still, neither can Purgs. TRUE
Only change to Psycannons was the Salvo 2/4 profile, s o still 24" range and rending. DUPLICATE

Is there any Army Wide rule to make us better at Deep Striking?



Nope, and the deepstrike bonus is only for the formation that was shown in WD (It is in the codex too). TRUE
There's a biiiig formation though (fittingly called a GK Brotherhood) with a pretty awesome benefit. If you take...

1 Grand Master
1 Brother Captain
3 Strike squads
3 Terminator squads
2 Interceptor squads
2 Purgation squads
1 Dreadnought
1 NDK

...you get Rites of Teleportation (as per the other formation) and Psychic Brotherhood (While the GM is alive, all models in the formation harness Warp Charges on a 3+). It's only something viable in bigger games and the specific nature of the force means you've only got three mastery levels' worth of non-Sanctic powers to benefit from it. TRUE

NDKs will be the big thing for popping vehicles, but our answer for fliers is still going to be fliers of our own.



EDIT: Psylencer is rng24", S3, AP-, Heavy 6, Force. I wasn't joking about that. Funny how just that one word makes such a huuuuge difference to how we look at the weapon, huh. TRUE

Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
Oh, I only just noticed this. Greatsword is a Specialist Weapon that's master-crafted. Looks like it's not worth the upgrade anymore. The vanilla pair of Powerfists (Yes, they retconned Nemesis Doomfists!!) are a better option. TRUE

Only formations are the WD-spoiled one and the Brotherhood I posted earlier (which is strikeforce but better, with restrictions). TRUE

The Aegis is as per the FAQ, all GKs have Purity of Spirit (Which is just the rule that means GKs only Perils by rolling two or more 6's when using Sanctic powers unless otherwise stated (I think this means they'd still Perils if they failed to cast Vortex of Doom). TRUE

TGS is the warlord chart, basically. Warlord traits are: TRUE

1) Daemon-slayer- Warlord gains Hatred: Daemons and when casting Banishment, harnesses Warp Charges on a 2+

2) Hammer of Riteousness- Warlord and unit have Hammer of Wrath

3) Unyielding Anvil- Warlord and GKs within 12" have Stubborn

4) First to the Fray- A nod to poor Mordrak, Warlord and unit automatically arrive first turn when Deep Striking and can reroll the scatter

5) Perfect Timing- Warlord and unit gain Counterattack

6) Lore Master- Warlord knows one more psychic power than normal, must be generated from Sanctic


Bionicman, on 19 Aug 2014 - 3:26 PM, said:
Yeah, thank you Brovius for your efforts.
Psilencer is S3 ???




Sorry, typo. Psylencer is still S4. Storm Raven is still Fast Attack. TRUE




I skipped past this earlier when I was talking about the BHC, but Heroic Sacrifice is back in a lesser form. It's not tied to a psychic test but it's just a single attack, rolling to hit and wound normally. No instagibbing EW models, sadly. Herald of Titan is also gone. I also missed where Crowe has The Perfect Warrior too, so he does have to always issue/accept challenges (he's a challenge king anyway, since he gets AP2 from Smash and rerollable saves from Blade Parry). TRUE

Talking to my "source" (or whatever you want to call him) here's what I got:
-No known changes to psychic powers FALSE
-Assault changes where on the table at one point to try and make it more on par with shooting but it's unclear if they made it in or not right now
-Escalation and Stronghold Assault rules are in, TRUE
but profiles are not (and they were added to try and balance the Riptide and Wraithknight, paticulalry for Imperial Armies who don't have a lot of tools to shut them down fast enough) FALSE
EDIT: -Just one book, not three. FALSE
-New Starter isn't Marines and Orks . PARTIALLY TRUE

7th Edition Rumors - Apr 2014
The new rulebook is not a 7th edition of the game, but a re-issue of 6th edition which has the FAQs incorporated in it, and some minor tweaks across the board. FALSE
Some of you may remember when they did something similar during 3rd edition, where they totally overhauled the assault phase, but the edition itself was left alone from that point. Same idea here-- they're folding in the changes in Stronghold Assault into the main rulebook, and quantifying superheavy units and D weapons in the main rules. But that's about it. PARTIALLY TRUE

Ok, this is either going to go down like a lead balloon or I may have just found the holy grail of rumour farming!!!!

So here goes, the next book being released for the campaign is....
Shield of Baal:Exterminatus.

Not only that but the Blood angels codex is coming with this funky little tidbit:
Codex Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard Edition
As well as:
Blood Angels Data Cards(English)

I know people will throw salt all over this, but I believe it is genuine and I have proof but I just don't want to give it away just yet in case Games Workshop patch that particular hole because it could be a potential gold mine for info.

Ork Rumors / Supplement Rumors - Jun 2014
via DarkWarrior1981 on Warseer
I just recieved word from someone who works for GW (higher up, not a red/black shirt), that there will be a codex supplement called Waaagh Ghazgkull. Obviously, themed around the warboss we all know. The book is listed as codex orks supplement, but it is unclear at the moment, if it will be like Clan Raukaan (so you need the codex), or standalone linke Militarum tempestus. It will be released soon, I assume shortly after the codex. It appears, that both books are already in the warehouse waiting for the day of release. TRUE


Flyer Rumors - release - Jan 2013
It contains only rules for fliers still on sale or with a codex entry TRUE
(the Dark Eldar bomber is in), TRUE
some fliers have their rules updated to 6th edition (whatever this means exactly) TRUE
the Stormraven is now available to Codex Space Marines and Black Templars as well TRUE
Also you will find the flier rules from Crusade of Fire and new missions TRUE
The book will be on sale (no pre-order) from 16th of February, TRUE
is direct only (so not from your FLGS) TRUE
english language only and will not be limited stock TRUE

High Elf Rumors - Nov 2014
The Elves get their turn with a twist in the upcoming End Times Series for Warhammer Fantasy. Here's the latest:

End Times Rumors 11-9-2014 (Black Library Weekender)
via Warseer's Darnok:
Now what if I tell you that 1.) the Elves ET book will come with no models alongside it and 2.) there will be two more ET books after it?
Volume III: The Curse of Khaine (Scheduled for this year)
Volume IV: Skaven Book
Volume V: Unknown rumored final volume

The big point of contention out there in rumorland is whether or not End Times: Khaine will come with models, or be a book only release. Based on what we've seen before from the End Times series, Army Bundles to represent the listed battle hosts is a given, and both High Elves and Dark Elves have received substantial new kits in their last updates.

But then again, would a model of Khaine himself count as an "Elf Model"?

Fantasy Rumors - Aug 2014
a "big thing" for WHF at the end of August - sadly no details, but the notion of "the shape of things to come!" ... confirmed as being the return of Nagash
Nurgle gets some love in October: a book, 3 plastic kits and a clampack - again, sadly no details about this

Chaos Marine Rumors - Hellbrute Rumors - Feb 2014
via Darnok on Warseer
As far as I'm informed, the Helbrutes will be available a week after the Knights Codex. TRUE
It won't go up for advance order with the new Warhammer Visions though, as the Knight books have that spot. As far as I know, the Helbrutes release is the 15th (so advance order from 8th).

Eldar Rumors
There will be something in the codex called a wraithknight (almost as big as a phantom titan) TRUE
and a psyker flyer. TRUE
Striking Scopion will be a must have! TRUE

Tau Rumors - March 2013

Chaos Daemon Rumors
Greater Daemons in plastic (maybe only 2, maybe 4) PILE ON
Nurgle Flies ridden by Plaguebearers PILE ON
a Khorne chariot/cannon double-kit TRUE
Of course there will be the usual mix of characters in plastic and Finecast. TRUE

Eldar Rumors - Nov 2012
the translation of the next eldar codex has started (or so it seems).. TOO VAGUE

All plastic minis stay the same for the moment including jetbikes TRUE
Wraithguards will be plastic with a HtH option (swords) TRUE
A new Farseer model (finecast iirc) TRUE
a character for Dire Avengers, FALSE
a new entry "something-seer" TRUE

White Dwarf Rumors - Overhaul - August 2012
WD is changing in a fairly big way. They are moving out of the design studio into completely new offices and have brought in an outsider to head up the new format magazine (a former editor of a major successful magazine). The new magazine will have increased content and is being invested in with more money by GW in an attempt to break with the concept amongst many readers that it is little more than a figures advert. They've been working on the new mag since early May (4 WDs have been released since), so I'd expect the first of the new look fairly soon, but it would give us an idea on internal turn around times when it appears... TRUE

WOC Rumors - Kroot's Daemon Thread - July 2012
Plastic Dragon Ogres TRUE
Chaos Knight can mount Dragon Ogres FALSE
Plastic Chaos Ogres FALSE

Chaos Marine Rumors - July 2012
the book is done and almost at the printers TOO VAGUE?
an Iron Warriors character (?) has been seen, with a huge servo harness TRUE
possible new Obliterators (plastic or Finecast?) TRUE
painted versions of all 4 cult terminators have been sighted - could be conversions though TOO VAGUE
plastic Plaguebearers on round bases have been sighted TRUE

Dark Elf Rumors / Dwarf Rumors / Wood Elf Rumors
DE - Expected before WE TRUE
Dwarves - Expected before WE TRUE
WE - The treeman, however was said to be on the new monster base and about as tall as the Ogre Thundertusk's banner, and that it stylewise is more living brushwood-forest thingy than an actual anthromorphic tree. PARTIALLY TRUE

6th Edition Rumors - June 2012
Anyway, Land Speeders have the special rule "Jink", which gives them a 5+ save all the time, this changes to 4+ if they go flat out. (I'm reasonably sure all fast skimmers get this, I'm not sure whether it's a USR or just a quality Fast Skimmers get) TRUE
Also, (and I can't believe I forgot this one) models are taken from the front when they're shot. Or, to put it another way, when a unit gets shot at, models from the part of the unit closest to the firer are removed first. TRUE

6th Edition Rumors - Leaks - June 2012
- Hull Points are in, it is stated that Ghost Arks, Land Raiders, and Defilers each have 4 Hull Points apiece. TRUE
- Necrons have the ability to strip hull points for each roll of a 6 to penetrate/glance vehicles, making rapid-firing gauss weaponry very powerful at removing armour. TRUE
- Speaking of rapid fire, you can indeed move and fire once up to the full range of the weapon (it is explicitly stated that Fire Warriors can fire their weapons up to 30" away), no confirmation on the 3x fire for Relentless at half range though. TRUE
- Assault moves are indeed 2d6", but added together. Units equipped with jump packs can re-roll the dice to see how far they charge. TRUE
- The Rage USR gives you +2 attacks on the charge TRUE]
- All flying monstrous creatures have the ability to fly 24", doing something called a "Vector Strike", which is a certain amount of automatic hits to a unit they fly over, at the base strength of the creature. TRUE
- Monstrous creatures' attacks are explicitly AP 2 TRUE
- Every army must select a "Warlord" or single general to lead the army, this leader gets an ability. They can choose between three different types of abilities, "Personal", "Inspirational" or "Strategic". They then roll on one of those charts to see what ability it is. The two examples given were a Grand Master giving all friendlies within 12" his Ld of 10 (Inspirational), and a Chaos Lord being a scoring unit (Personal, the ability itself was called "Immovable Object" TRUE
- Flyers are a specific type of unit, and it is somewhat unclear as to the rules for shooting at them. Either all units require a 6 to hit them (unless they have a special rule called Skyfire), or this is still the case but only if those flyers move flat-out. Monstrous creatures with the ability to Fly also get this "6-to-hit" rule. TRUE
- You have the ability to buy different terrain (it even has its own slot on the new FOC), e.g, you can buy a Bastion with a Quad-Gun (which has the aforementioned Skyfire USR). There seem to be quite a few options for what terrain you can buy, but naturally most of them are typically represented by terrain kits GW sells. TRUE
- Now we're on the topic of the FOC, the rules for allies weren't laid out specifically, but it is heavily implied that its not the same as in WHFB. They refer to allied units as "Detachments", and there is an example of a player with a Chaos Space Marine force having some detachments of Chaos Daemons in his army. Basically, I was given the impression that it is far more common (and frequent) for a detachment from another 40k army to join a larger one, than it is for a Fantasy army to have Allies. Think more along the lines of the Storm of Magic rules for using TK, VC, or Daemons. TRUE
- Here's a biggie: Units -can- go on Overwatch, giving them the ability to fire upon an enemy unit which charges them, but at BS 1. Eldar (and any other army with access to the Clairvoyance psychic power set) can use a psychic power to give a unit the ability to fire at their usual BS. TRUE
- Monstrous Creatures have access to a special "Smash" attack, allowing them to halve their attacks, but double their strength. It mentions that this gives them the ability to destroy tanks more easily. TRUE
- It's somewhat hinted that AP will have some kind of affect against vehicles. This is because part of the Munitorum dice set includes vehicle damage dice. It specifies that some of the dice are "AP 1, AP 2, and AP 3 Damage dice", or something to that effect. TRUE
- 4 Disciplines of Psychic powers PARTIALLY TRUE
- basically what we were thinking in terms of Clairvoyance, Biomancy, etc etc. There's a chart near the back of the WD detailing which (if any) psychic disciplines a particular army gains access to. It's interesting to see that a large amount of armies don't have access to any at all. TRUE










40k Rule Rumors - Rulebook
440 Page Rulebook Blurb TRUE
Psychic Power handout. 7 Disciplines with aquila case and cards PARTIALLY TRUE
There are also "Munitorum Templates" (£12, designed with a metal effect look), "Munitorum Tape Measure" (£10, looking like a Servoskull) and "Munitorum Dice" (£10, while stocks last). TRUE

There's new kinds of instance death. If your say strengh 8 vs a space marine captain toughness 4 you only do 2 wounds! Strengh (9?) or more would do 3 wounds & kill him. FALSE
In kill point missions you get kill points based on what the units points cost, so for example a landraider would be worth 5 kill points & a unit of marines 3pts. FALSE

3) Maybe a new unit from Har Ganeth or a modification for Executioners? FALSE
4) Improved Assassins - could be a Save or improved Hidden rules. FALSE
5) I think rumours of City Guard, Slaves etc are probably hopeful speculation. Dark Magic and Black Horror will probably remain as do all the present units but following latest trends there are bound to be new units. SPECULATION

40k Rule Rumors - Warrior's Code - Plastic - Nov 2013
Rules
GW yellow staff were being quite tight in areas. There is a new 'Warrior's Code' coming in for 2014, but they seem to apply them from this weekend. FALSE
This included:
All painted Armies. Now, GW state they will not apply a '3 colour standard' because this is open to abuse. They picked up on someone with a very basic paint scheme that was supposed to be white scar bikers that seemed to be a white primer, a wash and some boltgun metal on the bike engines. PARTIALLY TRUE

No proxies. This is subject to interpretation, but they seem to enforce it based on 'if it has a model is must be used' and conversions must be pre-approved if heavy and not blatantly obvious what the mini is. One fellow who fell foul had an immaculately painted army with Dark angel minis, but painted as White Scars. Even though it had conversions like landspeeders with twin lascannons for preds, he was made to re-write the list as a White Scars list. So the big ugly speeder was a LR etc. I thought this was quite harsh. PARTIALLY TRUE

Others included me being asked why my drop pod doors were glued shut - ummm because I don't like them flapping around, I can't be arsed to paint the insides and also because i was not aware the rules said a vehicle's doors must be modelled to open?

Rumours
Firstly, plastic T-Hawk is designed. However it currently takes 7 sprues. Apparently the problem is that the big boy kit machine can only do 6 at a time. So the sprues need rehashing to try and cram it all in to make it economical. (I know, I know...) FALSE
The other is that plastic Sisters are done. The timing of the new codex is an attempt to whittle down some apparently high stocks of current metal. FALSE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
Q: Can you give any more indication on the psychic powers? You said that most have powers assigned to them (specifically the brood lord).
A: A number of them, some, but I doubt it is most. Tyrants for example have to roll. TRUE

I know too little about the whole set of powers. Dominion seems to be the Primaris. TRUE
Biomorphs are accessible by many creatures. Hive Tyrant is definetely on the top of the list so... TRUE

Harpy: It does have very, very interesting weapon. Cannot say which untill images start showing. TOO VAGUE
I believe that when it comes to the background description of it this is the first time ever the Tyranids get access to this kind of weapon class. TRUE
I know, cryptic and some people will say that the guy knows nothing so talks nonsense to cover the fact, but in this case just one word I would have to use would say almost everything.
Honestly I cannot find a way to describe it without making it all too obvious.

The range of wargear, the pricing of the box, the space on the sprues and wealth of options available suggests there is nothing left for such large pieces like wings.
An educated guess, the process of deduction + absolutely no confirmation there are wings = no Shrikes. FALSE

Psychic Deck - Seven cards. TRUE

Hormagaunts - I cannot say how many points - against Warseer policy isn't it? - definetely not beasts. Slaanesh fast, but not that fast. PARTIALLY TRUE
Plus fleet and move through cover. The second seems an army-wide rule (not sure about winged Tyraninds). FALSE

Carnifex - Got a re-pack. Nothing I can say about their rules. TRUE

Biomorphs are accessible by many, many models and Carnifex definetely is described as one of them. TRUE

2 Twin Linked brainleech devourer? The weapon stays. Not sure if it is as good as it was. TRUE

The Doom of Malan' tai is dead and gone. TRUE
Both big, ground beasts are from the Epic 40k, also the shooting one. TRUE
Warrior box is half-dual as I said without confirming it is this particular one. TRUE

Old One Eye and Swarmlord still here TRUE
Blind Venom stays. TRUE
Venomthrope definetely confers cover saves, but don't know if it is a cover save which can be combined with stealth/shrouded or confering stealth/shrouded to models close to it. TRUE

Still more than a full month from today. (12/8) TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
All those sets allow construction of another unit, also the Haruspex which can be assembled as... another creature from Epic 40k. TRUE

Hive Guards got another weapon option which can be seen on the leaked image.
The weapon is electricity based. No doubt inspired by Teslas, but I have no idea if it works in a similar way. TRUE

Tyrant Guards are very lovely. My most favourite models in the release combining what is the best in the 3rd and 4th metal models.
Several weapon options just like with the warriors. TRUE


I think that they got those new 50 mm bases. I was mistaken in the past with the SM Centurions so forgive me if I make commit another once again. TRUE

Haruspex is damn ugly so you will recognise it immediatelly, but its 'twin' is actually really nice looking MC. TRUE

Harpy's 'brother' is not called Eridne/however it was called in those rumours. TRUE

Hormagaunts: Cheaper and faster. Think of Slaaneshi Daemons. TRUE
Rippers: If I see it right got more expensive, but are no longer suicidal. TRUE
Hive Guard Anti Air?: I doubt it is judging from the description, but cannot disprove that entirely. PARTIALLY TRUE
Genestealers: Seem the same, but Broodlord has a fixed psychic power (no rolls) and full access to biomorphs - there is a list of those much like with wargear for other armies in other books. TRUE
Spores: No trace of them so far. FALSE
No clamshells. Perhaps a second wave, wouldn't be that weird, but mind their production capacity when it comes to plastic models is limited. Jes Goodwin said something about it when was asked about Jetbikes. TRUE
The are some repackages, though. More models in some boxes (so no Dire Avenger rip off), but don't remember how the prices will change in comp TRUE

There are definetely those four sets named in the phone call in Germany. TRUE
Dual sets (one, lets say, is half-dual), so four MCs including three new beasties. TRUE

There are also other boxes, but re-packs/army sets. TRUE

No clamshell. DUPLICATE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
The poster below was spot on. The Warriors are a new set, the last one was from 2001 so it is as with the Tacticals who got reinvented, multi-optional new sprues. Cool, useful, but they are not super-killy. Can easily be made the core of the army and have access to very many weapon options so good value for money too. DUPLICATE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
Warriors.

In my opinion definetely the centerpiece of the release. Much like the Tactical squad for the Marine codex they are something every Tyranid player - new or veteran - will have to buy. FALSE
The box includes all or almost all weapon options the Warrior entry in the current (still the current) codex has + something really nice. Still don't expect all your wishes to come true. Remember it is no more than three infantry sprues in the box. TRUE

The unit's cost.
It depends on the cost of wargear and what special rules give them - namely what Synapse Creature gives them in the new codex. Right now I can see no meaningful point decrease. Still troops though. TRUE

Tervigon.
Still troops, but comes with 'the Gaunt tax' to occupy the slot. Gaunts are cheaper so it helps a little. TRUE

Much depends on the new psychic powers the Tyranids get because it remains a psycher with randomly generated powers so unlike some psychers in the new tyranid codex. TRUE

The Big Bug.
It is big, but not that big. Remember that the Wraithknight and Eldar models in general are smooth and do not have so many limbs, vents, horns, bio-guns etc so making something as large as the Eldar fellow would create something really, really expensive - definetely in titan price range. The big bug is thankfully cheaper. TRUE

The creature is taken from the Epic 40k, but the difference in size is not so ridiculously... pronounced, but it is large enough. TRUE

Ohh and the instinctive behaviour list is expanded - with entirely new modes some creatures will take when separated from the Hive Mind. PENDING

Tyrant Guard too got something new, a weapon upgrade they will find really useful. TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Release - Dec 2013
Warrior entry options seem covered, but Shrikes are a diffrent entry... cannot say for sure but with so many options in the set I doubt there is any space left... TRUE

Instinctive behaviour - clarification

As I was afraid it was misunderstood (yes I see you H.B.M.C.).
Modes stay, so if something lurks it doesn't feed. TRUE

But there are more modes than just those two. TRUE

Psychic powers
One set of 7 powers, but some creatures do not roll, but get something specific and it doesn't have to be the Primaris. TRUE

Tyranid Rumors - Dec 2013
RE: Tyranid Prime, It is not a clamshell plastic pack. DUPLICATE

Expansion Rumors - Nov 2013
All GW produced superheavies (as in the ones already in plastic) will be in the book. TRUE

40k Expansions - Nov 2013
I can confirm both expansions.

Hardbacks, c. 100 pages long. PARTIALLY TRUE
Escalation provides rules for super heavies, gargantuans and D-weapons + 16 unit sheets providing options for all armies. TRUE
For example Revenant titan for Eldar and Dark Eldar ( I guess Tantalus was not good enough?). TRUE
I'd expect all models released in plastic + 1-2 per army. Thunderhawks are mentioned as one of those vehicles. TRUE



Basically mini-Apocalypse with about 50% superheavies which are described. PARTIALLY TRUE
The fortification supplement gives datasheets for released fortification sets, how to combine some of them and field as larger constructs + various rules for buildings, ruins etc. TRUE

Both books include missions and background sections, but fluff is not too important contrary to codex supplements. Treat them as Planetstrike, Spearhead and similar sets of rules we've seen in the past. TRUE

Chaos Marine Rumors
new Chaos Marine plastic kit that had blank pads with little slots in them in which legion icons would be glued FALSE

Chaos Marine Rumors - Sept 2012
Well I have heard that the Forgefiend box does come with an alternate build. TRUE
The Helldrake may come with an alternate build too but I'm not getting my hopes up on that one. TOO VAGUE

End Times Rumors - Nov 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
A quick look at next weeks white dwarf and am a little disappointed, basically a load of single hobbit miniatures, but also the end times book khaine. I could be wrong but it did not look like a novel. It also said book one on it so maybe it's a 2 part release.

The teasers for next week weren't giving away much except it mentioned about the shield worlds so I imagine it will be going back to the Baal campaign.

The box kit for tyranids coming out next weekend is a Venomthrope-Zoanthrope dual kit that will come with 3 models. TRUE
The exciting part is that there is a new zoanthrope character upgrade called a Neurothrope, which very much sounds like the old Doom of Malanti.TRUE
it comes with a spirit leech -warp charge 1, that targets an enemy unit within 18". Leadership check on 3d6 or suffer a wound by each point the test was failed with no armour or cover saves. Each wound also adds 1 to your dice pool for Warp Blasts. TRUE

BA are indeed pegged for a mid-november release but there will be little or even no model releases at all.

Bretonnians are not coming in the near future as their own separate release. That said I have heard they are being squashed as a separate army, and will indeed be coming to us in book 4 as part of an alliance.


Release Schedule Rumors - Sept 2014

Next few week releases are:
- Dark Eldar FALSE

And then: Space Hulk limited edition. FALSE

Eldar Rumors / Supplement Rumors - Sept 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
An Ulthwé Strikeforce supplement for Codex Eldar is on the horizon with new plastic Warlocks. GW realizes that Eldar players can and do field many Warlocks as part of the HQ Council, so they are giving this the dedicated plastic multi-part infantry kit treatment rather than offering only one or two single plastic character clam-pack models (which would put a limit on posing options, etc.)

As you know the current Warlock models are very dated, a few of them being Jes Goodwin's "evergreen" sculpts which have stood the test of time since the early 90's. Jes has wanted these classic models to be redone for a long time. The Ulthwé supplement will be the perfect opportunity to release the new kit (which of course will be usable by all Eldar warhosts, not just Ulthwé).

The supplement itself is largely based on Phil Kelly's brilliant Ulthwé Strike Force army list from Codex: Eye of Terror way back in 3rd edition. We can expect the usual background section which will greatly expand on what we know about Ulthwé along with Warlord Traits, wargear, Cities of Death / Stronghold Assault strategems, etc.

I have seen the Voidraven bomber in the list of products on a GW Store computer. Its 81 bucks, I make a bet on it.

Dark Eldar Rumors - Sept 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
I saw two new interesting things. The Dark Eldar Archon and Urien Rakarth seem to be getting a price reduction. Not much, but some. If I had to guess, I'd say that it was a plastic transition. Also, there is another entry titled, "Artrax: Dark Eldar." I don't know what that is, but it's listed as the same price as a 7th ed Codex. FALSE

Additionally, I looked into BA and Necrons. I didn't see anything new, but I did see that their Codex's prices are increased to 7th ed levels, leading me to believe that they are on their way.

However, based on my previous information on the possible DE supplements, "Dark Eldar: Wyches" and "Dark Eldar: Covens" I would assume that Dark Eldar are next up. That is simply a deduction of mine with no hard evidence, so take it how you wish. FALSE

Dark Eldar Rumors - Aug 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ****
A reduced price Incubi box(which is drastic, it seems, becoming cheaper than Wracks are now). FALSE

Two items named "Dark Eldar: Covens" and "Dark Eldar: Wyches" for the same price as a 7th Ed Codex. Now I can't say with much certainty what these are, but based on their price and title, I think they might be supplements. FALSE

In addition to that, I have seen the normal 7th Ed priced 'Codex: Dark Eldar" TRUE
and the "Codex: Dark Eldar Limited Edition" that is a bit cheaper than others. PARTIALLY TRUE

Also of interest is the "Dark Eldar Tantalus" that I found that is four dollars cheaper than three Terminator boxes. If this Tantalus entry pans out, I would assume it is our version of the Imperial Knight/Baneblade/Stompa. FALSE

Dark Eldar Rumors - Aug 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
He gave me some insight into what he had seen in early drafts of the book from the design team. I would consider these 1-2 star rumors, more of logical speculation on his end based on what he had seen:

- Eldar special rules were being thrown around as an idea, Ancient Doom and a form of Battle Focus that let warriors run/shoot in the same phase and Wyches run/assault in the same turn. FALSE

- Points decreases for the elites and troops sections, by about 1-2 ppm, but increases to raiders, ravagers, and venoms by about 5 points. The net result was units in transports costing about the same. FALSE

- Obviously the model-less characters were taken out - Vect is a lord of war, but baron, duke, malys, and the decapitator are gone. FALSE

- No new unit entries that he had seen, but repackaged models. I asked him about plastic incubi, mandrakes, grotesques and wracks, clampacks or the voidraven, and he said he honestly hadn't seen anything concrete on them, so couldn't say one way or the other but wouldn't be surprised since finecast had been removed from most new books that still had any.

- No info on warlord traits unfortunately, but said that the drug chart was being refined to mesh with 7th ed special rules (specifically, the drug that gives 3d6 run pick the highest is removed, since that is essentially fleet, which many units have already). FALSE

- Confirmed that, as we all knew, the wargear section for haemies was being shortened, possibly turned into relics. Hallmarks like venom blades, huskblades, soul traps, shadow fields, agonisers should still be there in the generic wargear section. In his words, "shocked if they took those out". TRUE

Overall, more of a streamlining similar to the GK dex, but without removing much other than the named characters. Should still play the same, but have more continuity with the current rules, and with the warlord traits and new FOC (didn't elaborate on what it might look like) will have much more added than lost, unlike GK. TRUE

Said he wouldn't be shocked if we also get plastic kits for some of the finecast options, to make the release similar to Orks. Certainly didn't feel like a nerf in his opinion, but did go a long way to limit the viability of things like jetseer lists that relied on the 2++ of the baron.

Fantasy Supplement Rumors - Aug 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Nagash army will be first of many alliance armies - there will be other in 9th ed - so there won't be free choice alliances, but ready army lists mixing two armies. TRUE

Dark Eldar Rumors - Aug 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Fantasy 3-Week-Releases. After this Dark Eldar. TRUE

Grey Knight Rumors - Aug 2014
So... They're out there now, people know they're coming so I can talk about them.

It's true that the Inquisition and assassins were cut. Assassins are getting their own update (similar to 4E) which will let them end up in any Imperial Army without necessarily taking an Inquisitor and have some cool narrative missions/kill team missions. TRUE

But we're not here to talk about Assassins.

Grey Knights are definitely getting "stripped" of a lot of the bloat they had before, not necessarily the stuff they had. TRUE

What I mean by that is this codex is C:Grey Knights, and NOT Ordo Malleus.

The focus is on the marines and only the marines. If you want to recreate existing armies, its not difficult you just use the inquisitor codex alongside it. TRUE

The special characters as rumored at gone, BUT the relics section lets you effectively portray them (functionally) on the table. This lets people convert to their heart's content without conflict as to what is/is not the right way to represent one character or another. TRUE

Unlike space wolves and Orks there is no follow up supplement for Grey Knights. It's all in the book already. TRUE

Draigo makes paladins troops, but they have to be 4 or more models or else remain elites. FALSE

Things got a little bit cheaper to bring them in line with the new base marine costs.

Librarians still require terminator armor. TRUE

Land raiders are dedicated transports for strike squads as well. FALSE

Deep striking via teleport got more precise. FALSE

Grand strategies are warlord traits. FALSE

There are 2 new kits only one of which is a vehicle FALSE

Have some very unique rules for when playing against daemons primary. /Both/ armies get buffs (fluff wise because GKs only show up when the situation is super dire) FALSE

So to reiterate: book is about the grey knights and nothing else cluttering it.

If you want the old book, just grab codex: inquisition to go with it.



It's not GWs fault that TOs are limiting people to two sources. The design process was that the book was too bloated with choices that had nothing to do with grey knights, thus didn't need to be there.

Does it mean less options? Sort of, if you only have one book, but in return you get a more balanced army that isn't being weighed against the strength of inquisitorial henchmen when considering the potency of "GK troops," allowing for a much stronger book if you wanted to play just knights.

Crowe doesn't make purifiers troops in the traditional way, but he has a formation that's him with 2-6 units of purifiers in transports. FALSE

In this formation he gets a bodyguard of the new unit that are based roughly on his "story" per se and is the only way to give him a retinue as he is not normally an independent character. FALSE

More will hit the internet soon I'm sure but that's all I can say for now

They can have one model upgraded to a Wolf Guard, for +10 points, who gets +1Ld/attack and access to wargear. (Same as veteran sergeants, except that if not taken, there isn't a "character" in the unit the way normal sergeants are). TRUE

They can take 1 special weapon, or 2 at 10 man. They are limited only to special weapons and not heavy as per normal. They pay the same points as space marines now, not a discount and not a free one at 10. TRUE

They can also take plasma pistols at 1 per 5 in addition to special weapons. FALSE

They can swap their bolter for a chainsword at no cost, on a model-by-model basis, and it specifies that it must also be represented on the model. FALSE

Wolf banners are still in, but aren't as good and cost 15 points not 10. PARTIALLY TRUE

Bloodclaws are 13 points per model, FALSE
minimum 5 up to 20. FALSE Similar as above for upgrades. Unlike what's in stormclaw, if you upgrade a Bloodclaw to a Wolf Guard he gets +1 WS and BS (to take him to 4/4). They have rage now instead of their former +d3 attacks on the charge.TRUE

Wolf Guard terminators are now an entry, as are Wolf Guard non terminators, so no mixing and matching. No more pack leader separating of Wolf Guard to join other squads. Just upgrades in unit.TRUE

While I'm sure that a lot of people will be flipping over the loss of certain iconic character elements for space wolves, the new stuff in the book isn't just "Wolf This" "Wolf That" and they still remain sufficiently divergent from normal marines, with points costs that are now in line with them. Though I won't deny that they definitely were toned down in a lot of ways (that they weren't really overpowered in by any real means) they have been compensated for by gaining access to things like space marine AA tanks, a new flyer and some really nifty formations.

Logan Grimnar and Bjorn are Lords of War FALSE

Supplement Rumors - July 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
We talked about this months ago
We will be seeing lots more. Campaigns will be a big part of 7th to keep the narrative flowing.

Every other codex will have a campaign bridge with the next.
Like Orks - campaign - Space Wolves
for Example Dark Eldar - campaign - Blood Angels. FALSE

Each campaign is 3 parts.
1. before the box that sets the stage. Roughly alongside the first codex.
2. inside the box for the bulk of the fighting
3. after the box that concludes the campaign. Roughly alongside the second codex.

DV wont be pulled from each release, that's just happening now to make ensure that they all have 7th edition rule books (I don't know if old sets are being opened and then repackaged, but they just don't want 6th being sold). Anyone who bought DV recently btw can get a 7th mini rule book for free if they have their receipt showing the purchase date within a month of 7ths release.

I don't know for sure, but it was mentioned that all narrative boxes (like storm claw) will come with the mini rule book as added incentive, but DV will remain on the shelves as the starter product.

6 months per is roughly accurate. Their life cycles are directly tied to codex releases.

All will have special edition models like Krom and the Ork. That wont be later released separately. They will be box exclusive.

Release Schedule Rumors - May 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212

There may be a supplement this fall dedicated to organized play. With 7th edition Foc really dedicated to the narrative style of play in the new rulebook, this new supplement will cater to pick up games and organize game play. In that regards, previous rumors of percentages and side boards are in as an alternate way to play the game.
The timeline for such a supplement would be this fall before November. Also coming are more regular FAQ's once the new rulebook is released, but with very little interest in Erratas where rules or information are changed. It is felt that once the new rulebook is out, that more effort for FAQs is needed. FALSE

the Haemonculi will be a big focus of the new book as the Wraiths were with the Eldar. There is a possibility of the models being a WD release initially. The Wrack kit doubles as a entirely new unit that focuses on chemical weapons. FALSE

The following new Haemonculi will be unleashed upon us all:

1) "Bane" type unit. Bigger than a Grotesque but smaller than a Talos. FALSE
May be a new character.
2) New Plastic Wracks (5 per box, dual kit). Includes all weapon upgrades. TRUE

7th Edition Rumors - May 201na4
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I was today in my GW Store, the "black shirt" manager told me the cover showing Blood Angels. FALSE

7th Edition Rumors - Apr 2014
FoC removed, percentages added. FALSE

Players have a "sideboard" of up to X number of selections (2-5, bracketed on points, so 1k or less games you have 2 sideboards, at 3k+ you have 5). FALSE

Sideboards can't be more than 25% of the total, or can be none at all. FALSE

They are referred to as "Secondary Detachments." FALSE

They are used for anything from allies to just additional things from your own codex.

If they are allies, then they require an HQ and a troop, and are still bound by the 25% of total. FALSE

Both players are expected to have sideboards.

Sideboarding is now a part of the game, done before deployment but in order of turn priority. So the person going first, picks their sideboard first after learning what race their opponent is playing, and seeing 75% of their army (and the available sideboards). FALSE

The person going second then picks their sideboard, after their opponent has selected, but before either side deploys.
----------------------------
Other tweeks include assaulting as a form of sweeping advance/consolidation. FALSE

The option to flee, in response to being charged (after overwatching) but there is the potential to be swept and the unit charging can (if they have the movement and sweep you) just hit a different unit provided it's in the same rough direction as the unit they swept. FALSE

The main thing I wanted to touch on is sideboards, % based army building, battle brothers being removed and units being able to lock themselves into combat to combat, but simultaneously enemy generals having another tool to avoid combat to counter act this. FALSE

New item has come up in inventory, in a black box: imperial guard vs eldar. Not all stores got it, but it is there. Systems were updated last year on inventory, so this is new. I would say no to blood angels and orks with this later in the year. FALSE

Epic Rumors - Apr 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Epic:
The Armageddon War is on its way. The starter box contains Blood Angels vs Orks and probably some plastic scenery. Armies will be released in single, fairly large boxes (probably around £50) with fully playable forces straight out of the box. Think half a company of Space Marines + tanks + thunderhawk, or a titan legions box set with an Imperator titan, Warlord titan, and accompanying reavers, warhounds and knights. The initial release will be just Space Marines, Orks, Titan Legions and Imperial Guard.

The kicker: it will be 10mm scale rather than 6mm. Infantry is currently being tested at 4 guys on a round base but it has been tested at both 5 man and 3 man bases.

Ork Rumors - Apr 2014
This is a large release with five plastic kits and
two codices - the main codex and one supplement for blood axe freebooterz. FALSE

- a warboss in mega-armour with a "chainblade cleaver" FALSE

- a box that makes 3 behemorks, giant orks, as large as a killa-kan. They are stitched-up painboy experiments with giant chainaxes and a cannon that shoots buzz saw-blades. There is a heavily armoured variant with power drills and some sort of shoulder-mounted beam weapon with a tesla coil muzzle. FALSE

- a tankbusta combokit for the specialist ork squads FALSE

- buggy kit that also makes defflaunchas, halftrakk multiple-rocket-launchers. There is pirate nob either on foot or on the buggy. He was described as a mix of pirate and mercenary. A giant grappling hook replaces his forearm, a custom energy pistol, a bandana and two crossed belts on his breast with trophy fangs. The nob is a new HQ choice called 'ead'unter. FALSE


- The last kit is a battle fortress larger than a baneblade. It has a maritime vibe to it. It is basically a huge platform on three tracks with a round gun turret in the middle and several outer gun emplacements. The gun emplacement are not automated or armoured turrets, but open WW2 flak guns operated by orks and gretchins. FALSE

The platform has the shape of a star like renaissance-era fortresses with corrugated metal rails. There is an engine section at the rear end under the platform with exaggerated exhaust-chimneys and a crane that puts scrabs into a tank mouth. The main turret superstructure looks like an igloo. It has either a cannon with three barrels, each with a different size and length or a command bridge. On the platform there is either a landing platform including a killa kopta, a missile silo or two double-barreled armoured turrets.

The last options allegedly makes the fortress look like a battleship. There are galley-like trenches in the platform where ork passengers huddle. They are either empty or covered by canvas, so you can only see the bulges made by their heads. FALSE

The model has lots of humorous touches. The gretchins all wear spiked bismarck-like helmets. There is an ork bouncer standing at the bulkhead of the command tower. FALSE

7th Edition Rumors - Apr 2014

- vector strikes allow armour saves, but deal one to six hits

category FALSE

just like chariots, but can attacked back

Starter Set Rumors - Apr 2014

40k 7th edition and the new starter kit Beachhead Stygia. FALSE
It is small kit, with only five scouts, five blood angels, a commander with jump pack, five meganobs, 10 armoured ork shootas including a nob with two-handed axe and 10 gretchins. FALSE
There are some destroyed columns, destroyed gothic stone walls and a three-piece stone bridge carried by gargoyles. FALSE
It has a 96 page book, but only about the half is used for rules including three scenarios. FALSE
Expert rules like all vehicle-related stuff are omitted completely. FALSE
There are a handful of dice, a ruler, but no blast markers.FALSE

At the same time, there will be a new starter painting kit with 10 snapfit miniatures that will bring the tactical marines from the starter box to a full squad size and gives the ork player 5 additional boyz. It has a 48 page booklet with additional scenarios and hobby guides, brushes, basing sand and glue. FALSE

Wood Elf Rumors - Apr 2014
Wood Elves are out in May. DUPLICATE
They get only a two week release - armybook, magic cards and three plastic kits. It is not a total overhaul and their finecast kits - even the cavalry plastic-finecast-kits - stay valid.
The only exception is the eternal guard. They are dropped completely. The models can be used as war dancers. FALSE

One of the new kits is special because it can be used for several different units. You can build either three hawk riders, which are one hawk and two surfers now, or three giant owl-like monsters called stonefeathers and six waywatchers. On top of that you can build a hero on hawk or on foot. FALSE

The second kit is a war dancer combokit. The second unit wears varying animal masks and shields made of pelt on wooden frames. They have animal claws as weapons. FALSE

The last kit is tree ancient and meadow hag. The former is a giant-sized tree man with a huge beard made of bark. The latter has a crown of leaves and she has a skirt of roots instead of legs. Her hands grow into a web of thorns. FALSE

The rest of the range stays as it is, the finecast kits probably mail order only. FALSE

The wood elves have very dynamic poses because almost all their units are skirmishers again and the sculptors didn't have to worry about spacing. FALSE
Skirmishers work seamlessly with other regiments in 9th edition, so there will be no problem with this play style. FALSE

Tyranid Rumors - Feb 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I have seen the next issue of White Dwarf, and in it is the announcement for the next dataslate for Tyranids, Leviathan Rising II, Tyranid Invasion. There is not much mentioned except that the story of the world Satys invasion continues, and it also contains new rules and scenarios. TRUE

I am imagining since no date is listed, and it says available in its various formats, that the release date will be on Saturday when the magazine is released, or at least available for pre-orders on that date.

Forgeworld Rumors - Feb 2014
via a reader here on Faeit 212
We were chatting about the merger of FW, BL et al and he stated that forge
world would soon be purchasable in GW shops. As in, go into a shop and
order FW stuff then have it delivered to store for collection. He didn't
think they would be getting much / any physical forge world stock. FALSE

Interestingly, the main reason in-store orders of forge world were not done
before was, apparently, a capacity issue. In that forge world don't have
enough resin moulding machines to fulfil the amount of orders they could
potentially get if it was promoted in stores.


However, with GW getting out of resin and moving to all plastics (his
words) the resin moulding machines can be given over to forge world to
increase their capacity to produce. We've already seen the start of this
with forge world taking over fine cast production. They obviously want the
machines to ramp up production of Forgeworld stuff ready for the increased
availability. FALSE

They have armoured looking torsos and loin cloth type things made out

they could also be built as traditional Ogryns, which retain there

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I just want to chime in with a bit concerning the newest rumors of Catachans not going away.

Ever thought about why Marbo, Straken and Harker are still metal and not Finecast? Because this is still the initial production run. There wasn't any need to move them to Finecast because nobody is buying them. Ever thought why the special weapon blister contains 2nd edition miniatures? Those sculpts are old enough to buy a drink in most countries!

Of course GW will tell you that Catachans are not going away. Because you can still play them with the new codex, but just as much as you can still play Vostroyan First Born or Praetorian Guard if you want to.
I wouldn't even be surprised to see them as a supplement in the future.

As far as I know, there won't be any new products or production runs, and Catachans will be moved to "MO only/while stocks last" in the near future. FALSE

Ork Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
boyz will become 2 pts cheaper, but must pay for wargear. FALSE
Choppas being 1pt and shootas being 2pts. Choppas now give +1 strength in FALSE
close combat but only give AP4 on a furious charge. FALSE

40k Rule Rumors / Fantasy Rule Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
GW is going to reveal some big new project internally soon.

He said he and his co-workers speculated that we might actually see both new editions for 40K and WHFB this year FALSE
with rules altered in a way to get both systems as closely together as possible to make transition for players as easy and attractive as possible. FALSE
They also speculated that the recent campaign running in the US stores is a test for a similar campaign run with the *new* starter set. FALSE

Ork Rumors - Playtest? - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I have been handed these play test rules for the new ork codex that is meant for a release around the August period.
I must put a HUGE pinch of salt with these as I have never been sent any information before from this person but others I chat to have declared him as trustworthy.

The Orks are due for a August release. FALSE
these rules are meant to be undergoing testing at the start of February.

Ork boyz: 7pts per model FALSE
WS BS S T A I LD SV
4 2 4 4 2 2 7 6+

Special rules: war gear: squad size:
mob rule FALSE (unchanged) slugga 10-30
furious charge (brb) choppa
Waaagh! (to undergo re-balancing)

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):

swamp them: FALSE
if the ork squad is bigger than the enemy it is fighting in close combat then it gain additional attacks. FALSE
if the squad out does the enemy by 10 more models then it gains an extra d3 attacks to their combat FALSE
if the squad out does the enemy by 20 more models then it gains an extra 2d3 attacks to their combat. FALSE

the extra attacks strike at the majority strength of the squad and count as AP -


deff dread: 50pts per model
WS BS S I A front side rear unit composition:
4 2 6 2 4 11 11 10 1 deff dread

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):



stomp & squish: FALSE
gain an additional d3 attacks when declaring a charge.

faulty technology: FALSE
if the deff dread fails a charge it must roll on the following table:

d6 roll: FALSE
1: kaboom - the deff dread malfunctions and is counted as a explode result
2-4: zog it - the deff dread cannot move or charge in the next turn but can shoot
5-6: gotz it - the deff dread is unaffected and may act normal on the next turn.


Killa kans: 30pts per model
WS BS S I A Front Side Rear
2 2 5 2 3 10 10 10

new rule additions (can be changed/removed at any time):

stomp & squish: FALSE
gain an additional 1 attack when declaring a charge.
faulty technology: FALSE
if the deff dread fails a charge it must roll on the following table:

d6 roll: FALSE
1: kaboom - the deff dread malfunctions and is counted as a explode result
2-4: zog it - the deff dread cannot move or charge in the next turn but can shoot
5-6: gotz it - the deff dread is unaffected and may act normal on the next turn.



this just in: storm boyz might get moved to the troops section! FALSE

& a new unit called bomber boyz that can send a single model into a tank/monstrous creature for a instant strength 8 armour piercing hit! FALSE

again all are to be tested.

Chaos Marine Rumors - Long War Supplement - Jan 2014
QnA Session
Thanks for the excellent rumours! 1) is the new vet skill permanent to the squad, unlike a banner?
2) Any idea if it can be used with the BL supplement, or just the codex?

1.Skills are permament. PENDING
2. The supplement can be used with ANY chaos supplement not just the BL supplement. Future supplements may have restrictions on what skills may be taken however PENDING

Is FNP purchasable?
FNP is not purchasable I'm afraid PENDING

Do you know if all of the skills will be available to all units with VotLW, or if each unit will have a separate selection of skills to choose from? On a related note, will it be a flat cost to upgrade or unit or will different units have to pay different amounts for each skill?
Basically each skill has a list of units underneath it . Any unit on the list may take the skill. Certain units are not on the list due to whatever reason. The example I was given was havoc can't take the fleet skill. PENDING
All skills cost the same no matter what unit takes them. PENDING

Are the different legions mentioned in the supplement, or is this just a way to expand upon the Chaos Marine codex? Can you take more than one upgrade?
Yup, there's a limit of three skills I think per squad however. To answer your original question the legions are mentioned in fluff only. The supplement is really just Codex chaos space marines +1. PENDING

if it unlocks Stubborn at a decent unit price.... Man I'll be bringing some big ol CSM blobs to the party.
Stubborn was one of the cheaper skills I think, at around 8 or ten points. I'm not sure if that's a decent price as I don't play sixth ed PENDING


8 or 10 for the whole squad right??
All prices are for the whole unit. Hq's skills are 5pts each PENDING

Can you still take mark upgrades while also taking these vet upgrades?
Marks can still be taken by the squad along with banners. PENDING

what's the projected release date for this mini-supplement?
This is a bit of a mystery to me, it's a week 4 release in the new weekly white dwarf, all I really know is its coming soon. I'm expecting it to be out within 3 months at max PENDING

Can Plague marines take infiltrate? Can Terminators take infiltrate? Does shred apply to all weapons, or just melee weapons? Thanks!
Terminator's can't take infiltrate, plague marines can I believe. Shred is for melee weapons only PENDING
I'm not sure about the infiltrate on the thousand sons. Fearless is a skill that pretty much every unit can take, terminator included PENDING

can mutilators get fleet?
I don't think oblits or mutilators can take any skills at all, I will have to double check in a few days time to confirm for certain PENDING

Can HQ's with VotLW take any of the USR upgrades?
Yep, hq's can take the skills, they have access to every skill I think PENDING

If I can put Stuborn on my CSMs and not have it be shot out like the fearless banner, then assuming it's no more then 25 points, I think that will solve the biggest problem for CSMs as a unit, leadership.
Stubborn was around 10 points as far as I can remember PENDING

Will the Rumored models (New CSMs, Lord, Etc.) be released alongside this supplement?
Yesh. PENDING

Is there anything else in this supplement, let's say FOC modification?
Is Infiltration really costy?
Nope its nothing but skills I'm afraid. I'm no too sure if it's a full supplement or a big dataslate. I wasn't paying that much attention to begin with. PENDING
Infiltration is 20pts a unit PENDING
HQ skills are 5pts each PENDING
All other units share the same skill price PENDING

Future?
Future digital products WILL include free stuff for units of a comparable quality to chapter tactics. PENDING

i just want something to give my noise marine rending so i can pretend that they are palatine blades
Rending may be on the skill lists. I can't confirm for a few days PENDING

Does the unit ~have~ to take the VotLW upgrade in order to qualify to be able to take an available USR upgrade on the unit?
For now yes, future downloadable content is likely to change this or make the Votlw upgrade free PENDING

I also suspect that none of the Walkers can benefit from this?
Walkers can benefit from a few skills, tank hunter being one which I can remember currently PENDING

from your perspective is the pairing between the unit and what the skills offer at least viable?
Most units can take the majority of the skill sets. There are essentially pointless upgrade skills but you can still take them for whatever reason. It's very much a choose whatever you want kinda thing PENDING

All I play is Thousand Sons. Not really interested in what happens with Mark of Tzeentch CSMs but I am interested if you could describe what you know about the plastic god-specific bits (if anything)?
Tzeentch heads are similar to the current thousand son heads, on head is also a very nice bird mask helmet. PENDING
Nurgle heads include a mixture of gasmasky heads and a head with its brain exposed. PENDING
Khorne heads are horney, spikey helmetty heads. PENDING
Slaanesh heads include a hellraiser Esq pinhead. Helmets heads have stretched skin, tounges and big speaker grills PENDING

Now, it is a 10man kit? Are there any "sorcerer" looking things, or a tabard? Maybe a nice force staff?
It is a ten man kit, there are a few tabardy things that go in between legs. The spear could be possibly converted to a staff without too much trouble I think PENDING

o Walkers can also get these skills!? All our Walkers? How does this work, as they can't take Veterans of the Long War - They have just access to these skills by default? Will they get further upgrades like Marks/Dedications so they something god-specific?
Just dreadnoughts, predators and land raiders to my knowledge. I'm not sure how it works with vehicles tbh, I will find out and include it hopefully in my next info batch. PENDING
Marks/dedications are not present CURRENTLY PENDING


Chaos Marine Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
New Supplement
There is a supplement due for release.
The long war/long crusade PENDING
The name itself is a bit of an unknown to me but that's the general gist of it.

Contains fluff on what the legions have been doing for the last 10,000 years. PENDING

Rulewise any model with the veteran of the long war rule may purchase additional specialist skills represented by the universal rules. The skills vary in price with fear being one of the cheapest skills. Certain units may not take certain skills I.e havocs may not take fleet. PENDING

New Box Sets
I had a much more detailed look at the new kits today. The lord is armed with a bolt pistol and mace\maul\club thingy. PENDING

The plastic autocannon on the standard squad sprue is suitable long and dangerous looking. It has the option of being belt or box mag fed. One of the chaos torso is basically a giant mutated demonic face with a piece that glues in in between the torso and legs to represent a big ole mouth. PENDING

The chosen/ regular marine kit has 4 sprues. Two core marine sprues that build 5 complete marines each with either bolter of ccw and bolt pistol. It should be noted that not all ccw are chainblades. The arms are the new style wrist and hand on the gun. There's then the command/ chosen sprue which contains power, special, heavy and combi weapons. This sprue also includes torso and head options along with lots of add on pieces. The final sprue contains all your god bits and icons and is smaller than the other sprues PENDING

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
We have heard rumors about GW streamlining their range, and one of the things to go are the Catachans. They have sold very poorly in the last couple of years and GW will drop them for good. I already said that the new IG codex will be completely Cadia-centered, and it seems that GW is going to change the background of the IG in a away that portraits Cadia-pattern equipment being widespread throughout the galaxy and being kind of the standard equipment for all "normal" regiments. Emphasis on regional "exotic" regiments will be largely toned down . FALSE

In contrast to that there will be supplements for both Death Korps of Krieg and Elysian Drop Troops soon after the codex release. GW is not going to invest the extra money needed to produce an additional regiment, and the IG release will already need a lot of new sprues if we expect a new veteran infantry set, new artillery tanks and a new flyer or walker. FALSE

For the same reasons Rough Riders will be dropped from the army list (much like most entries without models got cut from the tyranid codex). FALSE

Chaos Marine Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
gw have identified a number of issues with the chaos line with the main 3 being 1. The dated look of a number of models. 2. The hybrid nature of many kits 3. The lack of a generic non God marked lord outside of dark vengeance FALSE

There is to be a plastic clampack lord released in suitably ornate armour. The lord is mono posed and comprised of 5 pieces. This model has supposedly been designed as to be easy to kit bash/convert to allow chaos players to use the new updated power armour bits on. FALSE

Regarding the chosen. All power weapon variants are in the box with the lance and axe sharing the same body but with a separate head piece. Icons are included as is a number of God specific pads and heads. The kit has an "outrageous" number of head options. FALSE


Regarding the havoc. The havoc and new chosen/ standard marine kit share a core sprue containing 5 complete marine's. The havoc then has a number of unique sprues containing weaponry, backpacks and torso options. The havoc also boast an impressive number of heads with many appearing as mk2/3 heads with optical upgrades. FALSE

Tyranid Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Mycetic spores and some other choice tyranid units will see a return via Forgeworld alongside downloadable rules intended for use in standard 40k games. FALSE

Dark Angel Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
GW wants to release an update for the Dark Angels.
This update would be to allow the Dark Angels players to use the tactica unlocked by Unique Independant Character during tournament. Due to some tournament not allowing to use Unique Characters, like Samael, Belial and Azrael, the Dark Angels could only play as marines without much possibilities. And with the 6th Space Marines Codex, the Astartes are now allowed to play Bikes Armies in Tournament, and the Dark Angels aren't. It would probably be special rule for captains or new non-unique captains for Death Wing and Raven Wing. PENDING

Chaos Marine Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
One of the new kits would be a plastic havoc boxset. With lots of bits to add to the models. DUPLICATE

On the release date it's implied that the kits would be released in the 4th week of the month in the new weekly white dwarf. FALSE

* Forge World products will be available over the redesigned Games Workshop webpage FALSE
* no more Fincecast products FALSE
* Wood Elves, Bretonnia, Beastmen and Khemri products will no longer be produced, updated or supported FALSE

Chaos Marine Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Got a bit of a news item for you. I've seen a few pictures of a sprue with a number of finished models. The sprue and models in question are for a new chaos space marine infantry kit. They are supposedly intended to be a replacement for the standard chaos infantry kit but also have options for chaos chosen within the kit ala the space wolves packs' wolf guard. FALSE

Design wise the models seemed to be a mix of ornate and non ornate armour pieces. There were a number of power weapons, combi weapons and what looked to be an autocannon in plastic. I was told that hopefully their release would not be far off and would be released with a few other chaos kits. FALSE


GW General Rumors - Hasbro Rumor - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I have had news to report for a few months now and I just can't hold it in any longer.

Ok so here is the news, about a few months ago I was in my local hobby shop when I saw an old friend. He had said that GW had just been bought out by the same corporation that owns Hasbro Toys a few months ago. I thought I would share seeing as all the changes GW is going through. FALSE

He informed me that the new weekly white dwarf would be here for sale on the 31st. The new weekly dwarf will have rules again (a big deal for my customers) TRUE
will have a retail cost of $4 US, TRUE
GW will buy back unsold issues so we can get a bunch and not worry about how many are going to sell.

The new release schedule will break up the model and codex release for each month with the codex being in the second week.

week 1 Model, TRUE

week 3 model,TRUE

Bret Rumors - Jan 2014
via another reader on Faeit 212
According to one rumor, Bretonnia is going to be squatted as an independant army. They are going to instead pull a Black Templars with the Empire, calling the book "Kingdoms of Men" or something like that. PENDING

Now, I am not sure how valid this is, given word of mouth is not a reliable source of rumor - so I suggest you check with your sources first. However, this would explain why various options are being pulled. PENDING

As for the doom and gloom, there's a bit of a silver lining. Old Empire players might remember a time where more exotic units like Kislevite Lancers and Dwarfs were kicking around with the Empire. The newer book probably isn't going to be like that, but it might be possible one could use the new book (if true) to represent Araby, Nippon, Cathay, Kislev etc, etc as well as Bretonnia. PENDING

Dwarf Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I can confirm that Dwarves are indeed due within the next few weeks.
Models Rumours:
Core Troopers won't get a new box. TRUE

Light Armor Infantry Box is Slayers and a second build I couldn't
recognize. They look indeed weird, however the Slayers are more dynamic
than I'd expected them to be. FALSE

Heavy Armor Infantry Box is Hammerers/Ironbreakers dual build. They look
just so much better than their older versions, quite some variation
considering their former lack of such. FALSE

The "War Altar" is a dual build of Throne and Anvil I believe. It wasn't
quite clear, but it seems to be possible to give a "regular" Dwarf King a
toned done version of the Throne. FALSE

The plastic clampack character looks amazing. Simply. Amazing. TOO VAGUE

The Gyrocopter is quite a lot better than the previous one, but not quite
as good as it could have been. But it is a lot bigger, the dwarf isn't
really that much sticking out It blends in nicely with the rest of the army. FALSE

The Tunneling Vehicle looks pretty awkward considering the awesomeness of
the rest of this release. I think the rumoured "big cannon" could be a dual
build with this one, it looks pretty much twice as good as the Tunneling
Machine, especially considering how much potential there was. FALSE

Rules Rumours:
Pretty few that I know about, but here it is:
Playing Style: The playing style will be quite similar to the previous one,
but with a wider variation of possibilities. Ironbreakers will be even
harder to crack open while Hammerers are No-brainers (Dwarves are slow,
but those can hit like a meteorite if they get you!). TOO VAGUE
Cannons are a bit toned down but are still as accurate as always. I think
there's a decent chance of not having a single misfired shot within
multiple games. FALSE

White Dwarf Rumors - Jan 2014

There will be an announcement this Saturday. The monthly White Dwarf magazine is history. There will be a small weekly white dwarf magazine and a new monthly magazine, called "warhammer: visions", 230 pages strong(!!!). This will start in February. DUPLICATE

Also there is a meeting in February for every European "black shirt" in England. Maybe for the new GW website, including FW.

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source from the Faeit 212 inbox.
Regarding the Leman Russ:
Vehicles & Ordnance Weapons: Unlike other units, vehicles can move and fire with Ordnance weapons, but can only make Snap Shots with its other weapons that turn. FALSE
A vehicle that remained Stationary can fire all of its weapons, including Ordnance weapons. FALSE

An interesting note:
Ignore cover USR: the target receives -2 on it's cover save. Template weapons ignore all cover saves. FALSE
Vehicles ignore the "Gets hot" USR. [FALSE

IG Rumors - Jan 2014
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Maybe next edition it'll be good again, but it looks like no changes to the Lemon Russ this time around. FALSE
Still front armor 14, still rear 10 or 11, and still 3 hull points as a heavy vehicle. TRUE

The only change we might be seeing is new rules on how they squadron, forcing them to deploy within 6" (or enter from reserve together) but otherwise operate independently from then on. FALSE

This could see a return of the Russ since it'd be 1 heavy support slot but get potentially 3 into the army freeing room for other heavies... but it's still very pricy and very .. er.. crummy. FALSE

Forgeworld Rumors - Jan 2014

1) Forge World/Games Workshop Ltd is in Texas looking for a distribution warehouse. There was talk about limited production capacity as well.
2) Forge World/Black Library/Games Workshop merger is still "in the works" as you have mentioned or been kept up on. PENDING
3) Look for some plastic kits being pulled from shelves in GW retail stores starting February. I dont think any are scheduled for discontinue, they are just being moved to direct sales only. Likely starting with Tyranids, as February they go into the shelf proper from New Release section. Looks like the various 'gaunts boxes will be first to be pulled. TRUE

via a must remain anonymous source on Faeit 212
The team really likes hull points as they are right now

As for Hull Points and the differences between vehicles, the Russ is getting an update to make it more durable (not just a 4th hull point but it's very hard to hurt from the front in more than just having a higher AV). FALSE

via an anonymous source from the Faeit 212 inbox
There will be no 7th edition or 6,5 edition of Warhammer 40k during the summer of 2014. FALSE
The Games Workshop team isn't interested in compiling the existing rulestets yet, since the edition is not over yet. In fact, our distributor (the main distributor ) received news that the WHFB 9ed is indeed coming this year - he didn't mention when exactly. So 40k fans don't keep your hopes up. FALSE

7th Edition Rumors - 40k Edition Release - Dec 2013
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 (solid source)
The next edition of 40k will be called 7th, not 6.5 when it drops,TRUE
but as far as rules go it will be less of a jump than 5th to 6th. TOO VAGUE

The key areas being updated:
Interceptor, sky fire, fortifications, lords of war, allies and data slates. TRUE

As for its release it'll probably be September not "the summer." FALSE

It's not finished yet, still being tested so anything can happen. FALSE


The thought behind this edition is to make the game less alpha strike explosive and more "competitive" at all points values (even when including Lords of War), but D weapons outside of apocalypse may see alternate rules. TRUE

ps
Pistols in close combat in 7th PENDING

3. Virus spore barrage (Ordnance, Poisoned 3+, unlimited range, one-shot,

the template remains on the board until the end of the game). FALSE

Expansion Rumors - Escalation / Stronghold - Sep 2013
via an anonymous source that has the book from the Faeit 212 inbox
1.a. Void Shields are provided by Void Shield Generators, a completely separate structure that has a datasheet without a picture (It's Forbidden by Inquisitorial Decree) so making the structure is pretty much up to you at this point. The Projected Void Shields special rule project a 12" area of effect (measured from any point of the building) that can overlap, anything inside that is shot hits the AV12 shield. When the shield is hit it rolls as normal for against a vehicle, and if the shield is Glanced, Penetrated or ANY SINGLE HIT from a Strength D weapon, the Void Shield collapses. At the end of the turn of the player who controls a collapsed void shield, they can roll to restore it on a 5+. TRUE
1.b. You can also purchase void shields (25 points) as a building upgrade for the following: TRUE
- Bastion
- Wall of Martyrs Imperial Bunker
- Wall of Martyrs Firestorm Redoubt
- Fortress of Redemption
- Aquila Strongpoint
They all follow the rules as stated above, but do not project the void shield past anywhere except the building itself.

2. I am afraid that Xenos get the shaft here again, however the Void Shield Generator and the new Promethium Relay Pipes (Explained momentarily) have no picture, so those who enjoy the conversion aspect are free to create their own designs to represent these pieces. TRUE
There are, however, a number of upgrades that are catagorized under either:
- Building Upgrades (Void Shields, Booby Traps, Searchlights, etc.) TRUE
- Obstacles (Tanglewire, Barricades and Tank Traps) TRUE
- Battlements &; Battlefield Upgrades (Ammo Dump, Comms Relays and Gun Emplacements Icarus Lascannon/Quad-Gun) TRUE
Every building has the option to take some of these upgrades, including the Aegis Line (Which can take Obstacles only.)

The Promethium Relay Pipes (40 Points) can be taken as 3 long and 4 short pieces (A la Aegis Line) and must be placed together, they grant a 4+ cover but on the roll of a 6 cover save you must roll a further D6 and should you roll a 1 a small explosion occurs and the unit being shot at takes D6 S4 AP5 hits which ignore cover and are randomly allocated. Vehicles are hit on the nearest Armour Facing. However, the special rule: Fuel Siphon allows any flamer weapon fired by a non-vehicle unit within 2" of the Relay Pipes to change its type to Heavy from Assault or Pistol. Doing so will allow the Flamer weapon to gain the Torrent special rule. TRUE

3. There are 3 Fortification combination which allow for anywhere from "budget" Strongpoint combos to be made to all out impregnable Fortresses. These are:
- Imperial Strongpoint (1-3 Imperial Bastions, 1-5 Aegis Defence Lines, 0-1 Skyshield Landing Pad, 0-1 Honoured Imperium (<--yep gets="" it="" its="" own="" p="" rules.="">- Void Relay Network (1-3 Promethium Relay Pipes, 1-3 Void Shield Generators, 0-1 Honoured Imperium) TRUE
- Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defence Network (1-3 WoM Imperial Bunker, 1-4 WoM Imperial Defence Lines, 1-3 Imperial Defence Emplacements, 0-2 WoM Firestorm Redoubts, 0-2 WoM Vengeance Weapons Batteries) TRUE
All of these cost no extra points other than the point cost of the models themselves and the upgrades you give them. TRUE
The Tempestus Firebase cannot be made as the Aquila Strongpoint does not figure into any of these Fortification Combinations. TRUE

4. I haven't gone over in fine detail yet, the artwork is absolutely fantastic though some brand new pieces depicting the Howling Griffons Fortress Monastery, an intense assault by Tyranids on the Imperial Guard frontlines with macrocannons belching warheads in the background and more Tyranids assaulting the Ultramarine held positions in a fantastic 2-page spread. (At no point do you see Tyranids holding the line, which would've amused me to no end.) TRUE
The book also contains updated rules for buildings which I've not been over yet (went to dinner) but will have a look at soon enough.


Assorted tid-bits:
- Jump infantry and Jet Pack infantry are allowed to embark inside fortifications that are buildings. TRUE
- Jump, Jet, Jetbike and Skimmer units do not take dangerous terrain if they start or end their movement on battlements. TRUE
- Buildings with units hit by a template weapon also take a hit as well. TRUE
- There is an updated Building Damage Chart that reaches 7 (Detonation) TRUE
- I have not yet run into any instances of the Escalation Expansion being referenced in the book, but I can't see anywhere in the book where it wouldn't be compatible. (Although I don't have Escalation, so what the heck do I know? :p) TRUE

FAQ Rumors - Nov 2013
via an anonymous source from the Faeit 212 inbox
There is some talk about GW still working on a new App. It is supposed to launch with the new website next year. FALSE

It will be a full-fledged App allowing online purchases and, maybe more interesting, allowing GW to better enforce DRM for their digital books (i.e. the purchase of an ebook from GW will be linked to the account and can only be used through this account). The bright side is that it is supposed to include an army builder (this might be build into a new format of digitial codex), the downside is that it might be the end of the regular printed codex book. Collector's editions are selling so well that GW is considering to only offer the limited edition printed book "while stocks last" and the ebook version. FALSE

Orcs, supposed to be released after the launch of the new website, will be a kind of trial run offering all three versions of the codex (Collector's edition, new style digital codex and "normal" codex) with a big campaign to persuade customers of the advantages of the digital product. FALSE

In this regard, actual army lists might disappear from the Collector's editions. Instead they will include a version of the digital codex. This is considered to get rid of the FAQ/Erratas, those will be entirely solved through database updates on the App. FALSE

I have some infos for you about the recent Stormtrooper sighting:

A lot of the bits described (respirators, plants, NVGs, some of the heads, some of the CC weapons, etc) were actually looted from other plastic kits (Command Squad and the like) and won't be on the sprue for the new box. They were used to create some kit-bash conversions to show what can be done with the new set and a bit box. FALSE

The described "Inquisitor" with a greatcoat over carapace armor is an option for the Sergeant for people who want to build their miniatures "Arbites-Style". Arbites won't be an option in codex, but you'll still be able to get Veterans in carapace with combat shotguns yelling "I AM THE LAW!". FALSE

All in all the new set is supposed to be more like modern "Hollywood"-SpecOps (think The Expendables). FALSE

With Nids closing in fast we can still expect IG in Q1 2014. DUPLICATE

Escalation gives each army access to at least one Lord of War that are for 'regular' 40k games. There appears to be a difference from Apocalypse and regular 40k games, but the exact rules for them I do not know. Any Lords of War though are expensive in points, and I have been told that the Khorne Lord of Skulls matches the point value found in apocalypse, sitting at 888pts. TRUE

There are only certain units that are in escalation, so no others are allowed for regular 40k games. There are only 16 listed in the new book. As to the point level of the games, there is mention of 1500 or 2000pt games. Here are the known models that can be used for regular games in Escalation.

Inquisition Rumors - Codex - Oct 2013
"via an anonymous source on Faeit 212

Codex inquisition still uses your allies slot. FALSE

They were written as "battle brother allies" in witch hunters and grey knights before the allies rules were actually implemented an edition later. Now they'll play that way, requiring a troop etc FALSE

The difference now though is that the troop choice can be the retinue, full of fun stuff, or the retinue can be an HQ choice without taking a slot so that you can take storm troopers. FALSE

It's not a full codex in a sense, you'll find fast attack and heavy support a little light on options. TRUE

It's the first of what will be ally intended codexes which as I explained about a year ago can stand alone, but not with the same breadth as other armies. PENDING

Also, immediately afterward we'll be seeing the Forgeworld forces of the space marines and inquisition to update all those rules as well. " TRUE

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
there's a supplement that's divided by race with new fortifications and also new racial upgrades to specific fortifications. zionFALSE

Currently it's being playtested as requiring a detachment of the race to upgrade the fortification, but that might change (everyone's been using imperial stuff for a long time now). FALSE

Just to be clear, the base of the fortification such as bastion, aegis, fortress, etc will all be the same, just the upgrades/guns that will be racially specific. FALSE

In so far as models, expect only imperial versions, and a modeling section on converting building racially inspired fortifications. FALSE

The book will have the rules for all the currently released fortifications plus a couple new ones (with models) and then as mentioned rules for racial upgrades. FALSE

A standard upgrade is also being added to the choices for characters, which is a 1+ to FnP, something about robotic limbs. FALSE

via an anonymous source
Codexes aren't slowing down, but supplements are ramping up and will see model releases coinciding with them. FALSE

Either redoes of old kits (Khorne Berserkers for example), and then new kits entirely. FALSE

Rules in the boxes are a very likely reality for these new kits to make the supplement not a required purchase. I realize that this goes against the Internets opinion of GW, but they are not trying to make supplements mandatory purchases, but exactly what they are: supplements. FALSE

- NO Mystery-Box TRUE
- Dark Elves will be spread over 2 months (October + November) because all but 3 boxes will be remade. It’s going to be the largest release this year and will be followed by some events in the GW Games Stores. TRUE
- Tyranids are delayed till January (It was mentioned that they always were to be released in January but i’m not able to proof that)
- Supplements will not be released more than one per month but will see a regularly release every month next year like the codices were this year and will indeed have new model waves. TRUE
- the boxes for the Christmas packs will include just valuable units. It’s questionable what this means but I guess they want to sell them this time and therefore go with common units/-combinations TRUE

Forgeworld Rumors - Sep 2013
*via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
I have good news.

Good news is, it does look like it's FW will make it's way onto the new GW site, which will be a lot better than just a giant shopping cart. FALSE

If this goes through it means that people will be able to pay for Forgeworld items through Games Workshop Hobby Center's. FALSE

unlike GW items Forgeworld purchases won't be able to "ship to Hobby Center." They'll need to go to a customer's home address, as they will still be subject to duty if outside the UK. FALSE

This will hopefully be resolved either before launch or soon after, where Forgeworld orders will be compiled into large volumes sent out bi/tri-weekly to local shipping centers for North American/North Asia/ SE Asia/Australia and then redistributed to Hobby centers, and bypass duty costs. FALSE

Warzones however we're going to start seeing a lot more of, which will coincide with codex launches or between them to bridge codexes together (expect one for Tyranids and Ultramarines). FALSE

Plastic Adeptus Mechanicus Rumors - August 2013
via An Anonmyous Source on Faeit 212
Some insights into models that are coming down the track.

A:I have seen a plastic adeptus mechanicus sprue with servitors and human sized (i.e. not space marine) adepts. This definitely exists because I have seen it, so don't confuse it with my second point, although I don't know where it fits in with the release schedule. PENDING

B: for over a year I have been seeing various photos of greens, and CAD print outs - so not just concept sketches - for imperial models that are familiar to the inquisition books. I have seen custodes-style models, arco-flaggelants, and ogryn-sized servitors (greens) - as well as a pretty big tank that looks like a cross between a land raider and a leman russ, in the style of the exorcist (CAD). PENDING

it seems to have become common knowledge in circles that A) the studio has definite plans for all this, and that B) there will be a 'new' race army book at some point at the end of this edition, similar to Dark Eldar. PENDING

'like Dark Eldar' I simply meant that, from the business's perspective, Dark Eldar were a new race when they got their latest codex and models. So 'new race' doesn't necessarily mean something like Tau in 2001, and I'm fully expecting it to be an imperial faction. PENDING


A and B may be unrelated. But, based on this, I am guessing that either that this is where sisters of battle will end up, or that their relaunch will be refocused on the weirder parts of the Imperium. I just want to make it clear though, I've never seen a new sisters of battle sculpt PENDING

Tyranid Rumors - August 2013


via a strong source here on Faeit 212
Tyranids, at least at current can ally with themselves essentially. FALSE
They have the standard:
2 HQ 6 Troops 3 Elites 3 Fast Attack 3 Heavy Support

And can take an optional

1 HQ 2 Troops (not minimum 1, up to 2, but instead MUST take 2 and then...) FALSE

And if they do, it unlocks
1 Elite 1 Fast Attack 1 Heavy Support.

Only an HQ from the core can be warlord. ALREADY TRUE


Then the diversity comes into play.

Hive Fleets now have different rules (think chapter tactics). Your secondary brood can be from a different hive fleet. Not representing two fleets working together, just similar evolutionary strains. FALSE

There are also army wide FoC changes based on your Hive Tyrant. Wings give you the option to take Gargoyles as your compulsory troops (so max 2) for instance. Bonded carapace let's you take Carnifex's as elites as well as heavy support (but can't be more than a certain number of points, so they end up kinda baby). FALSE

They have some really cool adaptations for skyfire. FALSE

Warriors can be purchased as sergeant style upgrades for gaunts and gargoyles. They get the biomorphs of the brood and are not attached like wolf guard. FALSE

Tyrannofex will see a points decrease. TRUE

Pyrovore will see torrent. FALSE

Ranged biomorphs contribute to a model's close combat. FALSE
Melée biomorphs enhance a model's ranges attacks. FALSE
You take some biomorphs that affect both, like +1 str to both. FALSE
But having a gun makes melée better and having melée weapons improves your guns. There's some new synergy there. Mostly for big bugs. FALSE



Psychic ability is a lot worse than what it is now, but it'd be difficult to explain and just upset people who don't have the whole picture. TRUE

Imperial Guards will have access to all their tanks in plastic with the release of their new codex. TRUE

Just over half the space marine chapters of the first founding will receive a supplement. FALSE[/b]

The mono-god legions will NOT be getting a supplement. It's felt they are well enough reflected in the codex. Iron Warriors, Night Lords, Word Bearers were given as Examples of Chaos Legion Supplements FALSE[/b]

Out of the four remaining craftworlds, there's only plans to turn three of them into supplements. FALSE[/b]

Tau are not scheduled to get a single additional supplement, but instead there's going to be three!!! FALSE[/b]

another Tau Supplement is in the works, it lines up with a few other rumours I've heard about the Tau before it was released to the world. Vespid and Kroot HQ choices, and the ability to play a non "Tau" Lists. FALSE

Black Templar Rumors - July 2013
Neophytes:
Scout Stat line. TRUE
They do not take up a force organization slot, but count as troops for all intents and purposes (Scoring etc). FALSE

They do not have infiltrate, or move through cover. They also are not subject to rage after taking a casualty. TRUE
The number of Neophyte Squads you can take equals the number of Initiate, Assault, Bike and Sword Brethren squads total you have in the army. FALSE

Sword Brethren Terminators do not increase this limit. FALSE

Once purchased, as a 5-10 unit choice they are their own selection. FALSE

When deploying Squads with the Crusade keyword (Initiates, Assault, Bikes) you can attach a Neophyte squad to it. This then becomes one unit for all intents and purposes for the remainder of the game and cannot be split. FALSE

If the squad numbers 5 models, Neophytes can buy Bikes. They cannot buy jump packs. They come with bolt pistol and CCW and they cannot take special weapons. Those on bikes can upgrade to grenade launchers though. Neophytes can take shotguns FALSE

If you don't want to attach them, you can just deploy them as their own unit. FALSE

From what it seems, you can put Neophytes with bikes into squads without bikes, and vice versa. FALSE


Initiates:
Initiates have the stats of a basic marine, except their BS which is 3. It's +1 point per model (and the whole squad has to buy it), to get up to BS 4. For 1 more point, you swap their chainsword for a bolter. They are 10-20. Only assault special weapons (meltaguns, plasmaguns or flamers) can be taken. No heavy weapons. Instead of assault weapons they can take power weapons. They can replace both their BP and CCW for a Heavy Chainsword. They do not have sergeants, and are leadership 8. FALSE

Yes it's possible to take 20 Initiates and 10 Neophytes it seems. FALSE

Castellans:
Castellans are a 0-3 per slot elites choice. They are independent characters and take on vows that are reminiscent of oaths of moment from the books. Things like taking objectives, or defending them till the end and confer that benefit to initiates (or better) that are in the same squad as them. They can't take more than one vow and vows have different point costs. They get access to all sorts of interesting wargear, and unique wargear. They do not have to take wargear or vows, and are more expensive than a wolf guard, despite having the same stats. They are leadership 9. FALSE


Black Templar Rumors - July 2013
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
Neophytes get their own unit entry, 5-10 unit size, they're 0-X max, where X = squads with the crusader keyword (crusader squad, sword brethren, assault squads, bike squads). It seems like the terminators either don't take squires anymore or they fall under sword brethren. FALSE

They get attached to squads with the crusade keyword at the start of the game when the main squad is deployed or they can be deployed independently. FALSE

They're troops, but if they are attached to a unit they take on whatever squad type the parent squad is. Otherwise though they take up no force org. FALSE

Initiates come with bp/ccw and grenades, one in 5 can take an assault gun, and their squad size is 1-20. 11 points each. They can replace their weapons with blotters for a price. They're bs3, and can buy bs4 for a price. FALSE

Can take land raiders as dedicated transports at a really decent price reduction. FALSE

All power armoured models roll 3D6, pick the two highest to charge. Casualties they take from overwatch are done after initiative 1 attacks are resolved and before combat resolution using the new "closest models." (basically distributed as CC) FALSE

1-3 per choice elite champion-like model who takes vows. Vows are a lot like dark angel banners and revolve around objectives (defending or taking), but only apply to the unit they've joined and are a bit more toned down. Reminiscent of space wolf oaths. FALSE

HQs get access to better vows, and are different for chaplains and Captains. Emperor's champion is only required in games over 1500 points, does not take up an HQ slot and does not have macro-vows anymore, instead... FALSE

The army buys a vow for 0-40 points for every 1,000 or more points the army is. You can only buy one vow and it basically stacks in cost the bigger the army is. FALSE

Some vows are cheaper than others. FALSE

Vows have either an anti- psyker or xenos feel. FALSE

Wargear is significantly cheaper for BT characters. FALSE

Squads that have taken casualties are subject to rage for the remainder of the game.FALSE

Black Templar Rumors - July 2013
via a good anonymous source on Faeit 212
In so far as Black Templar: They are getting a full book not a supplement. FALSE
The direction of the book is on "crusades," and differentiating the Black Templar when they persecute Xenos as opposed to when they put the Witch to the sword. FALSE

They are seeing a lot of changes from their previous incarnation, and are no longer a shooting army (despite the intention of the previous book, they were received as a shooting army). FALSE

The army will have a "knights in space" kind of feel with wargear being a very big importance for the characters, and vows similar to old bretonians. The struggle there is with book keeping, but it is a pretty cool concept. FALSE

Crusade squads with their hybrid neophyte and space marine combinations are gone. Which will probably anger a lot of people without pleasing any (since in the past you could just take 0 neophytes so in essence this is just removing choices), but take it for what it's worth. FALSE

The whole "move after taking casualties" thing is gone and has been replaced with something more similar to battle trance (but less swift, and more assault oriented). FALSE

Templar point costs are down even from those of dark angels, and are designed to be balanced by their point cost, but also deliver the feeling that this is a "crusade army" that has never really felt the yoke of the codex astartes, and thus has huge companies of marines. FALSE

Release Schedule Rumors - Jul 2013
via an anonymous (and solid) source on Faeit 212
As currently planned, the Ravenguard supplement will be after the 6th edition space marine book (which will be soon) and will coincide with forgeworld's HH Book 3, Massacre pt 2. FALSE

In the coming months though we are going to be smothered (pleasantly) in space marine goodies, with every other or every third month releasing a space marine supplement, after the main book comes out. PARTIALLY TRUE


These releases will be paired with alongside a Xenos they were famous for fighting.
i.e. Tyranids book month A, Ultramarine Supplement month B. Ork codex month C, Crimson Fist supplement month D, etc. (this is not an accurate release schedule, just to illustrate my point) FALSE

Space marines will be getting 2 supplement codexes though by the end of 2013, so again... chances are white scars will be one of them. FALSE

For the Blood Angels and Space Wolves players, fear not you will be getting full codex support and not just supplements. Read between those lines. PENDING

the Space Marine special character changes to Combat Tactics still exist, but are also now available for purchase as an upgrade to a generic HQ allowing you to play Ravenguard without Shrike, or Salamanders without Vulkan. PARTIALLY TRUE

Space marines will be getting 2 supplement codexes though by the end of 2013 DUPLICATE

Lastly, Ultramarines are not the focus of the Space Marine book any more. Instead the pages describe the book representing any of the second founding chapters, and many of the founding as well who converted to following the Codex Astartes. Outside of the over-abundance of Ultramarine special characters it's not "their book" anymore, which means it leaves things open for them getting a dedicated supplement as well. TRUE

*For those of you wondering; yes the blast is better than the multi-shots. TRUE

Tau Rumors
*Broadsides are Slow and Purposeful, 2+ and T4 now. TRUE
*They are twin linked str8 ap1 railguns and can take plasma or missiles as well. TRUE
*They have a suit upgrade that let's them at the start of a shooting phase have skyfire. TRUE
*They don't have interceptor, nor do they snap fire ground targets. TRUE
*The only thing I notice is that the unit chooses to skyfire or not. So if you use split fire, you can't mix firing at ground targets and flyers easily. TRUE
*Semi mobile and very durable. They're the only non interceptor skyfire unit in the game that can survive flyer alpha strike. TRUE

Tau Rumors - March 2013
They're not 85 points base, that's including their Skyfire upgrade. TRUE

They are indeed STR 8 AP 1 however on the broadside suits, then pay to add skyfire, but not interceptor. DUPLICATE

Tyranid Rumors - March 2013
via a strong anonymous source
Some more specifics on tyranid playtest.

Carnifexes are in the elite and heavy support sections (but have different options) FALSE

While broods are the same base cost as the current dex, additional gaunts are dirt cheap. So if you want to horde it up, you can. FALSE

Rippers are cheaper. FALSE

Ability to build around "free" units coming in from reserve throughout the game (from different sources, but it's the same special rule), but they do not score. FALSE

Can go the other route and bugzilla it up and have all (including scoring) monstrous creatures. FALSE

The goal is to go mass or massive or anything in between. TOO VAGUE

The big text on the design board (figuratively speaking) is "Every Unit Viable. Every unit desirable." TOO VAGUE

And on the topic of evolutions - these are just upgrades and options that can make a bug very finite in it's role, but awesome at it. Not mid game changes. Only one special creature can do that. FALSE

Tyranid Rumors - March 2013
FoC manipulation and "new" deployment options are based on the various stages and methods of a Tyranid invasion. FALSE

- A lot of flexibility in the form of army composition. As opposed to the very mutable stats of units and weapons of the old codex, which caused a lot of headaches for opponents. FALSE
- Hive Tyrants are the main source of FOC manipulation. The idea is that they can specialize the scoring elements of the army.... but you have to pay for it. FALSE
- Reserve manipulation is a very strong theme in the codex. These options are more numerous and reliable than in the current codex. And that's because. FALSE
- Mycetic Spores have expanded rules for ease of use. This includes MC broods. FALSE
- Trygon tunnels are also greatly expanded. Raveners have additional synergy with the tunnels. Even Monstrous Creatures can use them but with a penalty. FALSE
- More outflanking options. Various ideas are being thrown around on the topic of protecting Genestealers and especially Lictors from being shot to pieces when they appear. FALSE

And the most important rule that is being tested...
Synapse offering protection from Instant Death in a brand new way. Right now this is being tested only on creatures that have the Synapse rule (not within the aura): Wounds that trigger ID can instead be rolled to either cause 1 Wound, 2 Wounds, or ID. FALSE

Apocalypse Rumors - March 2013

The Kroot hq replaces the 1+ requirement on fire warriors with a Kroot unit. FALSE

Eldar Rumors - March 2013
- Autarchs take Paths. These represent completed paths they have walked and are tied to the various aspects. By taking a path you make the respective aspect warrior a troop choice (the exception are reapers who just become scoring) DUPLICATE
- Overall point cost reduction (guardians see it the most, aspect warriors see it the least, but are instead a fair margin better with only a minor cost decrease for two of the schools). DUPLICATE
- new special rule that influence how howling banshees interact in combat. It's current iteration really makes them feel like glass cannons that are amazing at what they're designed to do. DUPLICATE

- also terminators will be given a chaos version of a space marine storm shield. FALSE
- And if you now take chosen terminators they will have 2 wounds each. FALSE

- you may not move in the previous turn to do this ! you shoot ( large blast strength 10 AP 1 shot ) but cannot use your ballistic skill and always scatters 2d6 inches. after doing this then the rules for daemonic possession on the tank is lost for the rest of the game and you must only fire the normal melta shot.

- 2 butcher cannons, bs3, immune to shaken/stunned, can be locked velocity as normal. Flyer only, no hover/skimmer mode. Can vector strike at strength 10. strafing run. FALSE
- Because this might be misinterpreted I'm going to be really clear: It does not have "two firing profiles." It has 2 butcher cannons, and that's it. It does not have blasts of any kind. It is "BS4" against ground targets because of strafing run (go read it, it's a USR for details). FALSE
- Terminators can be upgraded to chosen, getting +1 WS (5) and +1 wound (2), and fearless. They can take marks on top of that. It gets expensive. FALSE
- Interestingly enough, when upgraded they are troops if you take Abbadon, yet normal Terminators are Elites. TRUE
- There are no "chaos storm shields," TRUE
- The best you can get is Mark of Tzeench to upgrade your 5+ invulnerable from Terminator armour to a 4+. TRUE
- There is a piece of chaos wargear that gives a 4+ invulnerable, but it is not a storm shield it can just be added for characters. Yes it upgrades via mark of tzeench to 3+. No it's not available for sorcerers. TRUE
- Vindicator is unchanged, but can take daemonic possession (as all chaos vehicles can). No melta of any kind on it except the potential to buy a pintle-mounted combi-melta as an upgrade. TRUE
- As for the essentially indirect fire mechanism? That's made up. As for the daemonic possession changing the weapon profile for 1 shot that then expends the daemonic possession? That's made up. TRUE
