I went to my local GW shop 2 days ago and mentioned tau and necron releases in March and the shop manager was a bit surprised.

He was told by superiors that there was a HUGE AOS release was uphand. death thing book was coming, the Malign Portents is coming and that the summer campaign was going to be AOS to. (Because last year was 40k)

I hope the rumors are still true that the drop in codex release will be after Necrons (which is in fact what the rumor is telling, a few months no 40k and then Orks!)

Well store managers generally don't get to know months ahead any more than regular customers. Depending on activity of individual customer is more likely to know what's coming up!

As for drop off...This rumour says 2 in march, 2 in april, 1 in may, 1 in june and that covers pretty much all major factions. Not much of a drop IMO if true.

I was reading back after I posted it and did see there are more rumors of codexes in the following months.
He did say he wasn't that sure, but just said not to have too much hope for necrons this soon (as I am a necron player)

I do know shop managers don't get that much info, but just wanted to let you know what he said.
There still is a 0,001% chance is actually knows something. right? :-)

Yeah he could have read this thread and get some idea of future releases!

You have to mind Dakka sadly. No matter what anyone says, Dakka will be there to say you are wrong. While most of us appreciate what you have mentioned, there will always be someone on the internet to say something to put an opposite spin on what someone has said. Thanks for sharing and don't be discouraged to keep sharing.

Sisters of Battle aren't going to get new figures. They already have a range of metal figures, and GW seem to dislike remaking models they already sell.
I think they're going to flesh out Sisters of Silence instead, as the new Sisters army in plastic. Makes sense to me. Means people who already have an army of SoB now have new units to want, and anyone who was interested in SoB now get an alternative who're pretty much the same but plastic.

I think that's what the rumour of, "look to summer," is going to be personally.

A) Making Sisters of Silence to replace Sisters of battle is a lot like making Tau to replace Heretic Astartes(both predominately male armies that wear armor. Practically identical tbh)

B. Again, I must emphasize, Sisters of Silence are NOT an acceptable replacement for SoB. 'Oh hey guys, we know you really love space wolves so we released 40k upgrade sprues for AoS fyreslayers because it was the baller facial hair you wanted right?'

C) Which GW doesn't like remaking figures they already sell? Certainly not the one that owns 40k? Because the one that owns 40k has remade: Rubric marines, Kharn, Typhus, Ahriman, Plague marines, beasts of Nurgle, Bloodthirsters, Great unclean ones, Cypher, AND Celestine.

There are some very valid reasons to think SoB won't be getting new models anytime soon, if ever, but 'SoS instead' alongside 'GW doesn't do remakes even though they do constantly' are idiotic.

Yeah, all major factions...except for like...5-10 of them but w/e chaos gets their unnecessary hairsplitting books so everything's fine right?

Let me know when they redo all those metal guard regiments that they keep saying still hold up
Would GW want to remake a model range they already sell? Or flesh out one they just started first? Just sayin'

Peace

This last year they redid the Tau Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits so yeah - though my hope is on plastic Eldar Aspect warriors moreso than Sisters.

So yeah, this leak seems kinda unreliable, as the moving of custodes to late January means only one codex in February. Which would be an odd call, as that means that even at two a month for every following month we'd still be looking at august before things got totally taken care of. Which is a bit behind their initial estimate I think.

Order might be correct, but honestly that's probably jut guess work, the two codices after tsons are pretty obvious.

Lies, lies and more lies...

This is the real plan because power armor.

March white scars, emperor's children both with primarchs

April salamanders, black templar, more shade spire stuff

May world eaters, aos aelves.

June Sisters of silence, space wolves.

It is the year 2029. There has not been a non-power armoured codex in living memory. Games Workshop drones sweep the streets, destroying any who remember what a "Zeno" was. It is only known that in the year 2018, they began with a codex for every traitor legion: Emperor's Children, World Eaters, Word Bearers, Iron Hands, even Alpha Legion. Then came the Minotaurs codex. Then the Novamarines. Then the Lamenters. Each had only 1 or 2 units, but their hardback codexes cost £40 each.

It is the 3rd millenium, and there is only Power Armour.

preeeeety sure he's kidding

So, new rumors (apparently the 4chan schedule was some compiled leaks and some bullgak - as usual) :

- February : End of Custodes, Thousand Sons - for AOS : 4 Harbingers, Legions Of Nagash battletome.

- March : Codex T'au and Necron (maybe Necromunda, Bloodbowl) - Malign Portents campaign book, reboxed sceneries (maybe in Feb).

- April-may : Codex Harlequin and Drukari, AOS Aleves.

Since June, no data but :

- AOS summer global campaign like Seeds of Hope, Fate of Konor (Maybe a 40k campaign book / big boxset).

- End of August : Codex Space Wolves.

- December : Codex Orks / Speed kult (with new moldels).

- Maybe : end 2018 / start 2019 : Slaanesh 40k and AOS (probably around new Keeper of Secret and daemon Fulgrim).

December?! But new minis?!!!? But December!?!? New minis tho?!

New buggies and bikes maybe?

Well that new one hardly seems more reliable, I thought Orlocks and GW2 in February was already confirmed?

I want an excuse to make a Mad Max chaos force!!! Release the buggies!!!

The 4chan schedule (EDIT : spoilered in the first post, page 1 of this thread) was apparently an amalgamation of :
- Heachi rumors,
- Already known (according to you now, and other posters IIRC) Specialist Games rumors (Shadespire, Necromunda, Bloodbowl) and,
- (as usual) total bullgak.

My post above (i.e. the attachment) was only to add to this the 2 new Heachi rumors : Space Wolves end of August, Orks with Kult of speed new minis (fitting the Rumor engine below) in December.

Those new rumors also mean the 4chan schedule is (most probably) false from June to the end of the year.

T'was just to say. But so far Heachi seems pretty reliable. We'll see with T'au and Necrons Codex.

P.-S. : and I just added Thebiggesthat rumor - who teased the GUO before last year 40k open day - saying Slaanesh (Keeper of Secret) was coming for 40k and AoS end 2018 / start 2019.

I am fine with a December release for the ork codex,
I juts hope they take time to release something better than the
last they did for 7th edition.

Fingers crossed for real Klans rules and looted wagons.

If some models are redone, I just hope tankbustas will be in,
and either give the Kommandos their bombs back or
redo the models without them.

May be by December, Forgeworld staff will be kind enough
to release at last the missing datasheets they promised
us when the index first came out...

Well there are a lot of safe bets in that rumour. Custodes, death Malign portents, Necromunda’s remaining gangs, shadespire and an AOS global campaign have all already been confirmed.

New cult of speed for orks has been rumoured for ages and we have the rumour image of the wheel to add weight to this. The only surprise is seeing them as late As December.
AOS Aelves have also been heavily rumoured for more than a year with several rumour images lending weight to this.

We are of course going to get codexes for Tau, dark Eldar, Harlequins, space wolves and Orks some time this year as they are the major remaining codexes.

We are almost certainly getting a release of Adeptus Titanicus, probably in November to continue the one game a year policy for the specialist studios.

We know that James Hewitt has written one stand alone game for GW. We may well get that this year. It may even be the rumoured warhammer 40k quest game.

We have the next preview event at Lvo on Thursday which will probably reveal the next codex or two, so we should see how reliable these dates are then.
For me the remaining juicy questions for 2018 are:
Slaanesh? New Xenos? New 40k starter? Death models? Next Primarch? Plastic Sisters???

For the safe bets part - that's what I meant, and what people've been saying since the beginning of the thread

The Heachi rumors are just information about the release order.
As you say, the LVO seminar should confirm (or not) this order.
Which will led (or not) credence to the AELVES rumor.

For the Specialist game :
- Good to add to the WHU, Necro and BB rumors the ones about the JH game and Titanicus.

For the AOS rumors :
- From the last Phil Kelly twitch interview, and from other MP stuff : Lord Relictor clampack, models for the 4 Harbingers factions (either Battletome or 1-2 kits).

(Which means less time for Codex with new models range.)

For the juicy part :
- Yeah ! Only thing I find ... silly is the new 40k sarter set, given that Dark Imperium is not even one year old.

What could (should) come after the AOS summer global campaign is an AOS new edition : 3 years since the launch, the GHB 1 and 2, new FAQ system, new Battletome format, new logo : we really could get a new starter set too (also : while keeping the Thunder and Blood boxset).

Bring. It. On.

We are of course going to get codexes for Tau, dark Eldar, Harlequins, space wolves and Orks some time this year as they are the major remaining codexes.

What about Crons?

So that would mean either gw lied or did for some reason delay for codex whose release schedule was already determined.

Not buying

Which codex are you referring to ?

December

The Tau forum guy said Custodes were coming January/February back in November, so quite a bit before it was confirmed or even hinted at.

They remade Rubric Marines, and Plague Marines, and Plaguebearers - not to mention i'm sure they want to be out of the metal business.

Haechi earned a lot of credibility. But I still expect all the codexes will be released by the end of GW's fiscal year.
