Your "insiders" are trolls, nothing more ...
Just curious, but is there any possibility GW main try to "help" with the primarchs for a possible HH game expansion?
Thanks to that thread I googled Pan Fo, found their holy books, opened one of them and the first thing my eyes landed upon was a "pyichic" weapon called Raze the Dead... I REGRET NOTHING! Now I can't wait for GW to release some models with High Frequency Infrared Beams!
Well, a little bird told me that GW will be releasing a new AM Attila regiment in plastic. It will be four new kits:
-Plastic RR. About damn time.
-Kamir on his mount.
-Infantry kits that include options to make command squads. This will be a single, multi use kit, so you need a ten man box to make a 5 man command squad.
-New Great(er) commander of the Attilan regiment: Lo Pan. He actually requires two models: he starts play decrepit in a hover chair, and has weak stats but is a strong psyker (probably ML2+). If he kills an enemy character, you replace him with the other model, which has higher close combat stats. Kinda neat, but a little gimmicky.
Edited for spellings and such.

Plastic infantry for a Regiment known exclusively for their Rough Riders.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeahh...I'm going to need to find a salt mine for this rumor.

Automatically Appended Next Post: All of you think that GW has a definite planning for next year - that's an incorrect assumption. What GW does (like many other companies) is that they only have a preliminary plan- Release of product A, B, C will occur this year. If I am correct, their preliminary plan only stretches out from 2 to 4 years. Every year they take the preliminary plan and modify it right before another release. E.g.
(The example below is purely an example)
HH didn't sell as much as we expected - Maybe we should hold HH products for a few more years. Thus, though they have "new kits" ready to be released, they won't be released for the next few years.
Sanguinus is a good example. Model ready and confirmed. Release is probable- but will GW sell it next year is what you're arguing about. Only GW knows.
So GW and FW will be releasing a primarch with zero rules right. Why?
Despite what you may hear, AoS shouldn't have existed. When 8th ed was released, GW planned to have 9th released in 5 or 6 years. Once they realised, 8th was dying and sales declined dramatically, they rebooted the whole game into AoS. Sales rose with the event of the End Times. When people showed interest into the Nagash kit, they released other "big kits" which were ready since a few years back.
Apart from where studios guys and some others have been wanting to do this kind of game for years and have had it planned for a while.
This applies to all releases in GW. High sales? Great - let's take this to a whole new level. Either release of same limited kit in a few years or keep on going with the big kits. Low Sales? Either ignore it or give it the AoS treatment.
LOL
Right now, GW has a ton of new kits awaiting for their release. LOC and dwarves ARE confirmed. LOC was developed at the same time around the Bloodthirster kit, only question was when GW would release it. The Glottkin was supposed to be a GUO model, but with the end times it became a character model. Plastic plague marines - development in process, but with the success of HH, it could easily be pushed back to 2017 or even 18. Discontinuation of Brettonian and the Beastmen models doesn't necessarily indicate that GW will give it the Slaneesh or Squat treatment. Bretonnia could receive new models which they haven't got in decades. Only question is if people are willing to buy the new version of Bretonnia.
Slaanesh hasnt been squatted. GW wont be destroying slaanesh. Ya know the whole horus heresy thing and a certain legion dedicated to oh slaanesh.......
CSM confirmation was promised ever since the start of 2015- GW knows the current codex might need a few tweaks. Only reason they haven't done it is because of End Times and the development of HH.
CSM rumours all shot down
Overall, future releases are dependant on how many people will buy and what they want. Right now, old games e.g. Necromunda etc. are said to be underway. If this is true, expect another delay. All I'm giving you is the basic preliminary plan told by the GW and FW insiders. Whether or not if you decide it to be gak, that's your choice.

lol, there is no "if" ... and no, there will be no "delay" with GW stuff 'cause of this, because the Specialist Games Studio is intependend from the Citadel team and has nothing to do with it - if something gets slowed down, it's (and that won't be the case) FW stuff ...
I'm willing to bet that we won't see a CSM release in 2016. In fact, I'm willing to be wearing a Maple Leafs jersey for an entire week! (and I say this as a die hard Habs fan)
I'm just hoping that we might see something Daemon related to tie Chaos over.

If you think of a full new CSM Codex 7th Ed. with a full overhaul of rules and/or models, you're probably right.
If you mean absolutely nothing for Chaos Marines, you'll be wrong.
It is true that 2016 will have (among other things) a (mostly AoS) Tzeentch-theme running through it, similar to how 2015 had Khorne.
The reason there likely won't be a Tzeentch Daemonkin, is because GW is doing possible cross-overs a bit more deliberately than the written-over-a-weekend KDK.
That said, just about the only thing in a fairly impressive pipeline of (mostly AoS) Tzeentch that is NOT ready or even sculpted yet, is the LoC. If he comes, he'll be the tail end, possibly as late as 2017, not the kick-off to Tzeentch the way the Bloodthirster was for Khorne.

Spoiler:
Age of Sigmar is coming out soon, and with false rumours of a "bubbled reality" and etc. I have decided to share some confirmed info. If anyone else knows anything about the upcoming Age of Sigmar, you are more than welcome to share your info (with substantial evidence).
Right. First off is that the upcoming Age of Sigmar bases. According to Rhellion via twitter, Age of Sigmar is both for veterans and new players. It is confirmed that there will be round bases (as already seen in warhammer fantasy e.g. fanatics and mangler squigs) for some units. However, the majority of the models will continue to have their regular bases with the exception of certain heroes and special characters.
According to Deathwing897 on BOLS/Warseer, he has confirmed that some armies will be entirely erased from the game. Though it is unclear which armies will be available in the next edition, there is a large rumour that unpopular armies e.g. beastmen and wood elves will just be pushed into a larger faction, which we all have seen in the End times. The ongoing rumour is that GW will retain their armies in the end-times-ish way: Legions of chaos, Elves, Dwarves, Skaven, Realm of men (confirmed. Basically brettonia + empire) etc. There has been very little info regarding the Lizardmen. But it is likely that GW will retain the army as the latest lizard update has proved to have been a success.
Regarding the new boxed edition set, it has been confirmed by Joshmarine98 on BOLS that one army is the realm of men. The other army has not been confirmed. There is confirmation however that the realm of men will include a unit of knights, 2 units of infantry (similar to brettonian peasants), a war machine, and 2 heroes (captain and wizard or engineer).
The background will be in the New World, the only remaining area left in the Warhammer World. The Chaos gods will return but as a more united front e.g. bloodletters with blessings of Nurgle etc. The Realm of men will also be united under a new emperor and god. The Undead will inhabit in old ruins of the lizard men temples as well as elves, and the skaven. Dwarves will establish new forts in mountainous areas. Though there has been a large question regarding the return of chaos dwarves, it is highly unlikely. But there is still an ongoing rumour that chaos dwarves will return as some dwarves were sucked into the void/warp in the final battle.
New confirmed rules include a major change in the alliances. It will work similarly to the 40k alliance chart in 6th ed. Other major changes include a new rule, Death to the Gods, which is supposed to be given for any human character opposing the chaos gods. This gives them stupidity, hatred or frenzy, and a ward save.
This is all I know. If you know anything else about the upcoming age of sigmar, feel free to post... again, with substantial evidence.
40k Release Schedule Rumors - Feb 2015
All right guys. I just heard from a GW staff member in Stockholm, who said that the Emperor might make a cameo in the last End Times. I didn't believe him, but he showed me the pages where it seemed that characters from the 40k universe were making cameos in the Fantasy universe. PARTIALLY TRUE
He said that the beastmen might come back into the 40k universe along with squats models (does anyone remember them anymore?) and cyber boars (Cheers for my Snakebites tribe!).

Thanks for the info Sad Panda!
Really depressing to hear about the LoC pretty much being a pipe dream at this point.
If the only thing on tap for Chaos Marines though is Tzeentch related, (*cough*thousandsons*cough*), it may as well count as nothing, considering how horrible they've been since about forever now! At least the models will (hopefully) keep to their older style, and not go the hyper blinged-out, daemonically mutated man-beast look GW has been putting on all things Chaos as of late.
Mind you, from a Chaos perspective, at this point I doubt Chaos Marines will get an actual release ever again. 2017 better damn well be an entire ing YEAR of Chaos Marine goodness, because Gods know, we desperately need it!
I take a lot of stock in what Sad Panda said, but didn't someone on Warseer with a good record say that the LOC is done? Sorry, that ALL 4 demons are done?
Also, thanks again Sad Panda. We know that you don't have to post anything at all.
I could do without Tzeentch Daemonkin but I am praying for some sort of 40kTS goodness as I am sure plenty other people are.

Is it just me or is the fact that codices are released so haphazardly and so far apart kind of absurd? Of course, it clearly fits into the GW mantra of giving no feths about the "game" side of their business, but it would be easy in a normal, competent business for at least half of the codices to be written, edited, and layout finalized within a few months.
I dunno, for a while there we got a codex every month and they were of little to no value aside from staying current - anything interesting was removed, there might be a little balance change to pimp whatever they'd just done a new model for, that was it. I'd rather sporadic releases of content that actually has value than monthly releases of completely gak books.

To be fair to Sad Panda, the models and molds could be done but they just haven't started producing the actual stock.

Releasing them over a period of time doesn't require writing them over a period of time. If, as we know they do not, GW were taking the rules side of their business remotely seriously they would be laying down -at the very least- the broad strokes of all the factions at the same time as they were writing the core rules of each edition(and nobody can tell me that's impossible or somehow unreasonable/"entitled" to ask for, because they've done it multiple times just not recently). Instead, as well all know, they have a nebulous "team" working on each book in series that changes membership seemingly on a whim and apparently write each in near-total isolation from the rest of the game with playtesting limited to a few games between the studio staff where they consider something to be finished and balanced if they can "gentlemen's agreement" their way through all the obvious flaws.

Just a possible explanation.
Generally they are 1-2 years ahead. So stuff coming out was 100% done 1-2 years ago. I even found one when the last warriors of chaos book was released the Throgg model had a 2010 date on the sprue for the copyright info

No, I understand that.
But what I'm saying is that the masters and molds? They could be finished. They might simply not have produced the actual stock yet that they would then start shipping to stores.
It's also worth noting that they seem to be doing a lot more with CAD now. Nobody had any real clue about the two new clamshells that just got released, or the two character models for the Tau campaign stuff.
They very well could have started and finished the design process in a manner of months.
ing YEAR of Chaos Marine goodness, because Gods know, we desperately need it!
