I'd be okay with something that silly. Automatically Appended Next Post: And Hastings just supported the AdMech rumors on Warseer.
It's like spring has come and all the rumor mongers are thawing out and the rumors are flowering because of it.

They better be called the Adeptus Mechanicus and not the Solar Machinicum Profiterolius or some other stupid new name.

2 codices? First thought that comes to mind is that they will do like Daemons, and do two books that share most/all of a model range. Adeptus Mechanicus/ Dark Mechanicum springs to mind. AdMech could have thesay the Techmarine Thunderfire cannon and the Knight as a Lord of War, while Dark Mech could toss in Warsmiths, Forgefiends, Defilers, and the Baledrake.
Just a thought based on the 2 codices line

Well, what other two could it be? Unless it's the Codex and then a Supplement, like they did for Dark Eldar (Dark Eldar and Haemonculus Covens)
It could be 'Adeptus Mechanicus' and then 'Mechanicus of Mars' or something like that.
I'd love to believe they'd do Adeptus Mechanicus and Dark Mechanicum, but that would mean GW actually has to acknowledge something other than the Imperium.

Hastings has been doing rumors a lot longer than they have and has missed only 1. I trust him more.
Plus he posted in response to him, so I'd say he was confirming them not them confirming him.

Hastings is being positively verbose right now:
75hastings69;7385810 wrote:No it doesn't. There's no bad marines codex, I'm specifically referring to the renegades in the HH box set. One guy asked if there would be CSM, I said that technically yes, as the renegades from the HH are technically CSM *even if very early on the road to being CSM)
YAY!!!!! 
AFAIK a kill team type thing, all the types of assassins in plastic. Not sure of any other contents or specifics. Like I say 40k isn't my thing.
Just like the spoof Countdown where the words coming out were like OMETHINGS etc and the guys were declaring words of 4 and 5 Think that's was noel Edmunds gotcha type thing, poor old madeley didn't know what to do with himself.
So from the list we have:-
Admech Codex & models (full release)
**** Codex & models (Harelquin sized release already mentioned on thread)
**** Codex & models (Harelquin sized release already mentioned on thread)
HH Standalone box game, on sale for a few months, then models become part of 30k range.
Assassins Standalone box game, on sale for a few months, then models become part of the 40k range.

A lot of great stuff coming for 40k. I had hoped they would not restart the Codex cycle soon and it looks like GW does smaller factions now and not CSM V7. Good news

Just for the sake of completeness, the others mentioned in that rumour were Genestealer Cults and Deathwatch, both Harlequin-style releases.
I hope all of that is true. Could be a very awesome, very expensive year.

Yeah, and also, Chaos will be split up into 4 books, each dedicated to a god, we will see plastic SoB and probably a plastic tunderhawk (meant for 30k) carrying the missing ork-themed landscape from the last rumored starter kit...
Seriously, there is so much stuff out there right now, that I seriously doubt that even 30% will come true within the year. Fancy new subfactions and expanding the line is nice and good, but I think GW is pretty much set on releasing a new codex every other month or so, and that's enough work as it is, unless they think the 6th and 7th-dexes are good for now and do not require any redo for a good while.
Hm... now that might actually be the case, as the rules are horrible beyond redemption, and they might think that tinkering with them won't make them any profit, so they'll just broaden the range or expand onto FW territory...

it is a brave man that bets against hastings.
There is a lot of nonsense floating about at the moment .... but this is not part of it.

I'd be surprised if they reuse any existing units in a new range's codex as they haven't so far. They seem to be happy to push the allies approach to expand the units on offer to an army rather than expand the codex. There is no reason they couldn't have added some of the Eldar or DE units especially the transports to the new harlequin codex, but didn't.

Since harry and Hasting are pretty the gods of rumourmongering, I think this is pretty much a lock.
I'm ridiculously excited by this assasin self contained games, as it seems it will be the 40k skirmish games ive been waiting for for years. I'm wondering if they'll also put some plastic inquisitor in it, and who will be the vilains in it,
The deathwatch release is a bit weird to me, since deathwatch is pretty much marines from different chapter, I don't see what kind of kit they could make for them,

An Inquisitor, a crazed Priest, crazed Techie, any number of things.

A pretty cool one?
The Deathwatch does have some weaponry unique to them and it would be a brilliant move to release a Deathwatch kit/"faction", since they could be taken by any of the Imperial army lists.

Just to make sure we are level set. Hastings does have a pretty good record, especially since he predicts far out and has worked over a long time:
75hastings69 - Total rumors: (79 TRUE) / (16 FALSE) / (2 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)
Harry is also pretty good:
Harry from Warseer - Total rumors: (39 TRUE) / (7 FALSE) / (2 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)
Lords of Wargaming hasn't been around as long, but has a very good record:
Lords of Wargaming - Total rumors: (21 TRUE) / (0 FALSE) / (1 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE)

But But .... you missed most of the stuff I got right : ... and two of my false rumours are the same rumour about Bloodbowl coming ...and no less than seven of hastings are about Bloodbowl you have each team as a false rumour .... even though he got all 4 teams right.!!!
Bloodbowl was done ..... it is not our fault that Dreadfleet tanked so badly .... it was shelved.
I could do this rumour by rumour but ....
My point is your rumour record does not take into account what was accurate at the time of posting...and sometimes we have posted months or even years ahead with something like this.

If you have a rumor that I haven't posted, please PM me a link. I would love to track them (right or wrong).
I fixed the double Bloodbowl.
Hastings predicted multiple bloodbowl things (the multiple teams) and none of them came true. The reason is not something that I can really judge; all I judge is what happens. If BB ends up getting released later and the facts are all correct, I'll reverse his and yours.
Please do it rumor by rumor in my thread if you disagree with anything I tracked. We can't take into account your reasons or the background behind each rumor because those are impossible to prove. All we can do is track what the rumor was and whether it came true.

Yes! I am so excited. I was about to start making plans to proxy Admech stuff with the Necrons Codex! Now I won't have to haha. Exciting times to be an Admech fan, I already have 6 Thallax cohorts, I do hope they find a way to put something in the codex on a 40mm base so I can use them, they are such excellent models after all.

That stand-alone assassins game can't be the Inquisitor skirmish game that was rumored a year or two back, could it?
Really infuriated hearing that BB was halted due to the terrible sales of Dreadfleet- a child could have figured out that game wouldn't be all that popular. So for GW to have stopped BB because the production of a game that nobody wanted resulted in a huge flop....well, I guess they can add this feather to their "we don't do market research!" cap.

Well, that is true for every rumour that didn't turn out true.
I am sure there're the odd false Natfka- BoLS rumours out there that actually did have a basis in some product mock-up / concept / pre-production thing that simply never made it to a release (granted, most wont, but it's not impossible).
A company like GW, I am sure they throw away at least as many greens and concepts as they actually follow through to release, probably more.
If rumours are "classed" as correct, even though the products were never released, the idea of a "false" rumour ceases to exist unless there is a public release by GW of all things they didn't release that we could cross-reference with genuine rumours.

This would be hilarious. GW doesn't tell us what they are releasing, but does tell us what they are not releasing.
