This makes no sense at all. If true how come we keep getting Space Marines updated? Especially the Primaris marines? No your statement is completely wrong. Please explain why GW dislike to remaking models they already sell since Space Marines are the biggest sellers.

Well, the only good thing I can think of is for waiting for December is to start saving NOW.

I just question if this is going to be a big/huge release, why just before Christmas when lots of us need Christmas money instead of hobby money at the time.

They remade Plague Marines
They remade most Greater Daemons (e.g. GUO)
They remade Tau Firewarriors & Crisis Suits
They remade Harlequins and Eldar Wraithbone stuff
They remade Tac Marines even before Primaris came out
They remade Celestine
Etc...

Primaris were completely new units though

As I remember it, the last time Jes Goodwin was asked about this subject on Warhammer TV, he said some along the lines of there being many things that the designers were not interested in remaking because they felt they were already as good as they could be.

It seems to the case that GW will remake some things because they think they can do them better (Primaris marines, Plague Marines, Greater Daemons perhaps), and some things they may never touch because the design and minis are already good despite them being resin (Aspect Warriors perhaps).

It's still rumor, maybe Orks are "end of year" instead of pure "December". And you can be sure that 8th edition does NOT end in December 2018 !

I'd bet we'll also see new factions (like World Eater, Adeptus Ministorum or Emperor's Children - if they didn't come sooner) in second half 2018 and in 2019, 2020, etc.

Don't panic just yet

Sure. It is entirely possible that some things will not get new miniatures. But the statement GW never revisits old miniatures is evidently wrong. And for the specific context of Sisters, GW did feel Celestine needed a new model and didn't just package the old one with that first Triumvirate Box. So IF (!) Sisters were to get an update, it's not implausible they'd get new miniatures at the same time (though it is likewise not impossible they will simply not be updated).

Same thing ruleswise.

New buggies and bikes maybe?

Bike kit is pretty much good for now. Need buggies, trakks, and deffkoptas. And a boss on bike would be appreciated. Plus tank bustas and kommandos need plastic kits, as do wyrdboys.

So I just looked through the GW store and saw that the broadside battlesuit kit is, "no longer available." Anyone else hear anything about what this is heading for? Other then the possible chance we are getting a new kit for it with some extra goodies maybe?

Also, sorry if this seems odd to just drop here. Not 100% sure where I should have dropped this

UK has fire warriors out of stock as well ... initially I thought of it too but is just one of those times when online stock runs out for a period of time

I noticed that the other night too, but it's probably nothing. Apparently that happens with kits from time to time and they just pop back up in the store later.

It's weird that they list it as "no longer available" instead of just "out of stock" like that, but I highly doubt it means there's a new kit coming since that one is barely 5 years old (came out during the mid-2013 Tau update back in 6th edition). I don't see it being a simple repackaging either since they just did that with the late 2015 update, too (it got the new transfer sheet and the box with the minimalist black background). If anything I could see them coming up with a new broadside variant and throwing an extra sprue in the box but that would probably be a waste, because then they'd "have" to jack the price up to like $75-80+ and no one's going to pay that much for a broadside.

Well I wasn't sure, but it it says, "No longer available", not "currently out of stock", like some of the other kits in the US store. That's what sent up a red flag for me. Are they the same thing?

"No longer available" tends to mean they're changing something significant (contents, box, bases, instructions etc) ie if it comes back it's not the same kit

A bigger Ork release, which I suspected they would get (them and the Woofs), would be the perfect time to redo Buggies, Trakks and actually release a Deffkopta kit.

A plastic combined Tankbusta/Kommando kit would be nice, but I just don't see them doing it. We might get some more plastic clampack characters with dumb names though.

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on the ork codex December 2018, given they seem to be on track to releasing everything by August/September, which is the original timeframe they told us. An ork codex that late either means codices start coming out at half the current rate or there are multiple months where we get none. Neither seems likely, at least as a planned choice, and it's too early for a delay to be that noticeable and push things back that far.

And what you mean "again"? Seeing orks have yet to be last major codex in any edition yet.

And anyway not buying. As said this would mean GW lied about putting all (major) faction codexes in a year at a time they already knew what products would be released within year. Don't see why they would bother with such a lie.

Also, who says there IS going to be a 9th edition? They could literally just pack new rules for cover (which is the big glaring flaw of 8th) and w/e they decide needs changing, into CA and call it a day.

"Who says there is going to be 9th ed?".

That's like saying "does GW hate money"? There will be 9th ed. GW's whole business plan is shifting meta randomly around so people are buying new armies and new models. They don't settle for edition. Why would they? Changing rules helps shifting models. It's not coincidence they get nice spikes in sales around the time new editions are released...

Speaking of unreliable Natfka rumors...

Damn, it's really hard to believe this but I really WANT to believe it. Imagine if the Necron side was Maynarkh, with a Xun'bakyr model and updated flayed ones... *drool*

That's the last thing I want. My wallet couldn't handle it.

Why has the rumour got a picture of Crons VS Eldar?

I assume it would be like the boxes we got in 7th with existing models and a new character on each side.

It's not loyalist Space Marines as one half of the box, therefore we can safely dismiss this.

Hmm, it's been pointed out that the AdMech codex's timeline actually has a LOT of Necron activity detailed within; apparently the Necrons are trying to resecure deposits of the material that the Cadian pylons are made of in an effort to contain the Chaos threat, which is a problem for the Mechanicum because many of the Forge Worlds were built on deposits of the stuff. Compared to, say, the timeline in the Space Marines codex, Necrons are only mentioned once.
