Now Khârn needs to lose his VotLW, gaining Eternal Warrior instead so i can play him in my Crimson Slaughter - he looks.. well, actually only OK. I like the Blood Warriors of AoS more. But still.. f*ing awesome to see a plastic Khârn!
I can't wait to get my grubby hands on that Ahriman, he looks to be really well sculpted and very true to the art. If he comes with a set of MK III armoured marines my wallet with shrivel up because I'll end up buying three of the things...
I wonder how long before he is released? I'm guessing the end of next month if Khârn is at the start. Man, I really love what GW have been doing lately.

I fully expect the new prospero boxed game to come out in the same time frame as betrayal at Calth which was early November. If I was a betting man I would think that September will be mostly AOS, either Tzeentch or duardin alongside gorechosen. October will be the second half of the Fenris campaign with 40k Tzeentch November will be the prospero game. December may be a Lord of change or the rumoured primarch. That would be a lot of Tzeentch in a short time but it broadly aligns with Sad Panda's hints.
As an aside the latest rumours from bolter and chainsword suggest that Kharn will come with a campaign book called traitor's Hate.

Just so we're clear, when Sad Panda stated that there was quite a bit of Tzeentch stuff done? He specified that the Lord of Change was not one of those things. At least in December of 2015 he did.
Although, going over the rumor tracker we have these from Sad Panda:
Spoiler:
PENDING Chaos Rumors - Dec 2015 via Sad Panda in response to this.. "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)"
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.
We then got these two in June of this year:
PENDING Chaos Rumors - June 2016 Question: What IF we aren't getting 40K Thousand Sons, but we are getting 30K Thousand Sons? Sad Panda: Both.
PENDING 40k Rumors - June 2016 Myth no more.
A lot of people over the years claimed the GDs were all finished and claimed they saw them (talking about myths).
All of them curiously missed this particular vintage-epic-inspired-villain next to the only recently finished LoC his design portfolio.
Remember the Warhammer Fest comment about things changing, but not quite as drastic as End Times/AoS? 40K is on the move.

My assumption was that this was for a SM v. Tau Boxed set that was rumored to be coming out since the message was from Kavyaan Shrike and the RG were last seen fighting tau.

Yea pretty sure this is kill team related. I haven't seen anything since panda and atia talked about a possible release in septemberish timeframe. Anyone else got anything?
10k CSM
1.5k Thousand Sons
2k Death Guard
3k Tau
3k Daemons(Tzeentch and Nurgle)
BOLS just posted some HOT NEW BREAKING RUMOR L@@K NOW about how Khorne is going to get more love in 40k in 2017, and how they are going to focus on "what makes Chaos unique" i.e. the 4 Chaos Gods, and a move away from Chaos Undivided a la AoS.
As a primarily Undivided fan, I find that to mean they don't really get what the appeal of CSM are; it's always been to play an Evil Space Marine, not the 4 Chaos Gods. I am a bit disheartened by this seeming return to RT-era Slaves to Darkness/Lost and the Damned.
Tzeentch and Khorne will front the CSM revamp.
The release pattern for CSM should be similar to that of Age of Sigmar, a move away from Chaos Undivided and focusing on what really makes Chaos distinct. Ie; The 4 Gods.
The Cults will be expanded to the point they can form their own mini codexes with the Traitor Primarchs at their head.
“We heard you liked your Rubics with guns, so we gave them swords instead.”
Magnus and Angron will be the first Traitor Primarch releases.
That doesn’t mean you won’t see some Undivided releases. You will, it is a full revamp of the range afterall. Just that releases will be themed ala Age of Sigmar stuff has.
2017 will be good for 40k Khorne players.
Infact alot of what the 2nd 40k End Times book is about, is Abbadon unleashing Kharn on the Imperium.
Chill your beans, you’re getting new Rubics of several different varieties soon.

I suppose they'll give Space Hulk (and maybe Execution Force) the rules for the cult models from Overkill - and Overkill Artemis and/or rules for generic Kill Team members that could use the new equipment from the codex.
I remember when the original Kharn was advertised in white dwarf 200. I thought he would be the free model in the next issue but it was a regular monopose bezerker. Guessing he will not be free in white dwarf this time either.

I feel like this couldn't be more wrong given the constant pining for cult terminators and the like.

there tkes all of my money. primarchs (human form hopefully), custodes and mkIII marines (my favorite). I don't even play HH or have a CSM army
Essentially when a product gets repackaged to the new style packaging, the SKU changes, hence it technically isn't available anymore.

Yep, and as of right now both kits are available on the UK website.

What you mean, of course, is that you don't think they get what the appeal of CSM is to YOU. There are a whole lot of cult players who would love to see this, if it's done right. Yes, there should still be room for Undivided, and if those rumors are to be believed (mountains of salt, it is BOLS, after all), then there will still be undivided aplenty.

Praise the Changer of Ways (Rountree).
Indeed his rulership has been great so far. I'm not much of a CSM fan but I can appreciate how important they are to the setting and I kinda admire Tzeentch just because of his crazy plots. Still I can't wait to see what comes next. I can't wait to see CSM fans enjoying their new releases.
This is the part of the thread where I somewhat pedantically point out that there is no such thing as 'Chaos Undivided', and there hasn't been for some some time. Chaos unaligned, however (lower case 'u') sure, but 'Undivided', no.
Chaos 40k has been such a missed opportunity for gw. More than any other faction, chaos is very much Gw's thing but the lack of support for it is very surprising. The minis that have come have been of very variable quality (obliterators) and also extremely sporadic. A plague marine box with the kind of detail seen in the blight kings, would sell like hot cakes. It seems we will finally be getting Rubric Marines, but still nothing at all for Slaanesh. The bloodthirster sold well by all accounts so why are they holding back the other greater deamons. Renegade Knights were an after thought. Where is choas imperial guard?
I hope they get it right this time. (the silver tower stuff is a good sign)

Independent units for each god with killer details and oodles of options would be nice. I think they're coming. We've gotten so much product every week over the past two years it's easy to expect anything and everything coming Plague Marines would be nice but after Rubric Marines I want to see Slaanesh stuff like the Heresy models. I know they won't be the same but I need that Slaanesh fix to start playing Chaos again.
