Has any new info been released on this? I'm keen as a bean to start when they hit but would like to hear something. There seems to be nothing except the Shadow Wars going on at the moment...

That'll be because that's the current release and DG was a future sneak peek. When it's DG's turn to be promoted and there's more to see we'll all see it... until then, no one will know more.

Based on the WarCom / Gama info and Hastings rumors the release schedule may look like this

May - Death Guard and plastic Thunderhawk
June - 8th Edition 40k big rulebook and the new app
July - AoS (maybe Shadowelves, but Hastings said they could be much later)
August - 8th Edition starter set (including Mark X miniatures, we could see a general release earlier though)

Obviously not complete

Someone earlier had mentioned May, but I'm in no rush.

Speaking of May '17...

There will be some 'Eavy Metal demo pods at WarhammerFest on how to paint the gribbly new Death Guard.

Aww, jealous, C'mon mid-May!

Birthday month!

Rejoice!

Oh wait haha, Warhammer Fest is on my birthday.

The REJOICING GROWS STRONGER!

I'll definitely be picking some DG stuff up to use in Shadow War. Marines and Cultists (plague zombies), with Terminators as specialists, with marks of Nurgle.

I have a break from Friday to mid-May. I really want more DG and those plague persons would make a great base for a Scavvy gang now that Necromunda was brought back to my mind. So I hope they're really EARLY May. Urgh. If they release Murgle Marines just after I had six weeks for hobby stuff and from then on never again (semester) breaks or vacations that long...that'd suck

This is shaping up to be the most expensive year yet. And it's only April 2nd!! I think previous winner was 2014 w/8th ed Fantasy dwarf release ($1000 at least on those) And like $4K *cough cough* on GW/FW/BL products that year

Hah, my birthday month as well. I don't think I've asked for anything for my bday in years (I still get a few gifts). I might actually put the word out to my relatives for a few of these kits. Time for a little selfishness.

It's my 40th birthday in June, and I am spending four days at WHW to celebrate.

I just started a new DG army (so am a bit bummed at missing the new marines... but can always add, right?)

So... dear geedubs... I'd love to see Mortarion for my birthday.

Along with 8th edition, but for the love of god please don't make it AoSuck

Well they always say the greatest are born in may. Light the beacons and hand out flyers.

... so by the rumor mill ... this week is the individual terrain pieces and the made to order bloodbowl. The 15th should be duardin, and the 22th shadespire ... that would leave the 29th for possibly DG

15th and 22nd are Duardin. Shadespire is coming later in the year.

All those Dwarf releases over only two weeks?

Our only solace radiates with mortarion and his host of putrid super friends!!! damn GW trolling TH fans

Given how close the release is, surely there should be some new info :( We've known heaps about the Dawi sky pirates for ages

I guess the problem was that it got revealed ... way way early. I think before than April

Yeah, I just think the teasers at the con were just that - teasers. Not ready for mass consumption. I'm sure you'll get a heap of info/WD etc. when it all comes out.

I think people are so used the GW only revealing products a few weeks before release that they don't know how to handle longer teaser times. I know the rest of this month is supposed to be Kharadron Overlords, so I wouldn't expect the Death Guard release until at least the beginning of May. Since we haven't seen any leaks, it'll probably be longer than that.

I've been hyped before, but that's fizzled close to release, this time feels different! I guess in the information age where everything is a few keystrokes away I should learn some patience! I just really want to paint those awesome looking minis from the teaser

Maybe they are gonna be tied into the big June release.

"Death Guard are rotten to the core, just like the current 40K rules. Time for a new edition!"

LoL!

Really though, while the models are super cool for those who like Nurgle (and objectively great quality anyway) Im most interested in the release to see if it has fantasy tie in aspects like tzeentch’s did, because it's going to really set me up for the return of slaanesh. And I can't wait to see what models come out of that.

well we would be only missing noise marines and fulgrim later in the year

Slaangors, Noise Marine Terminators, plastic Fiends, some plastic HQ/Elite unit, bit like the 3-pack of Sorcerers that 1KSons got, plus plastic Lucius and plastic Fulgrim.

That's what we want!

I seriously doubt the exalted sorcerers will be the norm for the other two patrons ... it was just convenient with TS

I'd also like a return to the Diaz daemonette aesthetics. For me, despite only coming into the ho by shortly before they were changed out the change in daemonettes is when GW started slowly circling down the drain. This new golden era of GW should be heralded by plastic custodians, chaos legions, actually cool AoS releases, and plastic boobies.

And indeed plastic Noise Marines in general - where more than one of them gets the signature weapon. That'd be nice.
