First half of February : Adeptus Custodes.
Second half of February : Thousand Sons.

First half of March : T'au Empire.
Second half of March : Necron.

Between April and May : Drukhari, Harlequinn and two new elven armies for Age of Sigmar.

didn't see a thread on this yet, TS and Custodes coming up soon as we all know. These are rumors for what could come after, if there is a general 40k rumor thread this could be merged into that one.

Here should be the release schedule until June:

Do we finally get the new models everyone has been waiting for?

I feel I don't really have a good grasp on GWs plan going forward.

It is about 30% of releases; 4 out 13 books. With data sheets coming in the box and containing all the rules it is much easier for GW to introduce new units without having to do new codexes. Once gw has all the codexes up to date they will start doing some campaign supplements like the gathering storm, which will be accompanied by new models.

I do hope you are right.
There are so many armies that need some love but aren't getting any.

Hell, if they started by finally just give Sisters a small new model range I think it would garner a lot of good feeling amoung fans. It's the elephant in the room that is never going to go away until they do something.

No, Haechi was partly right. Natfka just reposted it.

I think Verviedi's point may be that the Tau codex is not even the exact same cover as in 7th -- it's photoshopped to reflect the Viorla sept being the featured faction. Repeating cover art is one thing; weak photoshopping almost seems more lazy somehow.

People have called out a Tau and Necron codex since long before that rumor.
GW themselves called out Q1 2018 for the Fyreslayers and Skaven warbands for Shadespire.
And guess what? Thousand Sons and the last Custodes stuff goes up for preorder this Saturday, meaning he's wrong on that front.

Literally all Natfka does is take existing rumors/speculation and repost it as "ANONYMOUS SOURCES!".

As much as I agree about Natfka, he didn't actually start those rumors and I believe he actually attributed this time.
Haechi was pretty accurate for that distance though. I haven't updated the stuff for Feb yet since Feb isn't over, but it is nice to see it all in one spot:

Haechi - Total rumors: (2 TRUE) / (0 FALSE) / (0 PARTIALLY TRUE/VAGUE) - updated 1/25/2018

Haha... They recolored the Tau cover again. Fantastic art, I'm pleased that they're sticking with it (all of the codexes for that matter). It's comical to me that they can't make up their mind on the Tau color scheme.

1st - Ochre suit w/ Fiery sky
2nd - Ochre suit w/ Blue sky
3rd - White suit w/ Fiery sky

As to what after codexes are done? Maybe slight break but new versions are going to come sooner or later. With gw probably sooner. They won't run out of codexes to release

You know, there was a time we were lucky to get 3 codices in a single year. Slow your roll chief.

PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Jan 2018
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).


PENDING Release Schedule Rumors - Nov 2017
Early and throughout January - Double daemons TRUE
End of January is Custodes TRUE
February is unknown but some is custodes
Early mid march is Tau
End of Month is necrons
April and may are Harlequins, Drukharii and the two new aelves for AOS

I wouldn't give him the Harbingers stuff, personally.

The painting competition got announced before his rumors as far as I know, and when they said that "Month 2"(which starts in February) requires you to paint the Harbinger for your faction it's basically a give me.

Considering they would have to drop almost half the index due to massive lack in model support, maybe they need the time to produce new models. And to get a clue about how orks are actually supposed to work.

I'd even wait till December if we get decent codex out of it.

We're coming up in 10 years this year with no plastic Deffkoptas outside the starter (which was also discontinued 6 years ago)...

In previous generations 40k would get about one codex every two months with an accompanying range of minis. What is interesting this time is that despite the codex releases coming much faster, the mini release schedule has been about the same. In the first 7 months after release we will have 4 ranges of minis; primaris, deathguard, nurgle demons and Custodes.

I am curious what the mini releases for the rest of the year will be. Orks are a very strong candidate as has been rumoured. Assuming we get 5 big waves in the next 10 months that leaves 4. Space wolves? Sisters? New xenos? Emperor's Children? If we got those 5, I don't see too many people complaining.

Why the F would Flanderisation Wolves need more models!?

Orks - yep - hell yeah
Sisters - - well duh?
Emperors Children - yep

Space Wolves - ??? Do you really want more Wolfy Wolf WOLFs on Wolves riding Giant Wolves.

Some snowflake female elf army got a new range of models before Sisters did.



This is by far the greatest timeline.

Not going to give him the Harb or the Legions of Nagash, since that second rumor was posted in Jan.

I feel I don't really have a good grasp on GWs plan going forward.

It’s either this, or wait 2/3 years for everything to be updated. Big model releases are about as often as they ever were (Primaris, Death Guard, Daemons and Custodes since July last year) but we have updated codexes in between. We wouldn’t be getting model releases any quicker, and we’d be getting codexes slower.

So someone was asking how many more codexes, here is what we know, dark eldar come out at the end of february, Tau beginning of march, and necrons end of march. They said codexes will be done by july, at 2 a month thats' april, may june and july, so 8 more codexes.

Ones we are pretty sure about
Harlequin, Imperial knights, Orks, genestealer Cults, Ynarri, deathwatch, space wolves

So that leaves us a spot for a mystery codex, which if I were a gambling man I would bet on agents of the imperium. which will be Sisters of battle, sisters of silence, and the various flavors of Inquisition. If they get a kit (and to be fair most codexes have gotten at least one), with those factions it would most likely be Plastic sisters of battle.

I say this as a true sisters of battle skeptic, but it just makes sense to release plastic sisters as part of an agents of the imperium codex. Sisters of silence are already in plastic, much of the inquisition can be done by kits for IG, so sisters is the logical part of the codex to get some love.

Though I wonder what sisters of battle players will do with all of their extra time when they are free of the burden of constant forum posts about how GW hates them.

He had the order wrong, DE are first then Necrons then Tau. But the list of the next three he had correct.

You can still get the plastic Deffkopta in the Battle for Vedros box sets. So, you can buy it on its own.

Not in a GW store you can’t.

And not in many other places either, in the UK at least. Best I've found online is heavily marked-up ebay sellers, otherwise you have to go hunting around physical GAME stores or toy shops to see if they have any left in stock.

Isn't the KFF Big Mek/Big Mek in the Meganobz box? It seems to imply this on the box art.
Lol Nob Bikers can be made easily enough too.

Guys, surely we aren't trying to claim that because releases didn't come out "with codexes" that Xenos players should be happy about having a total of one (1) new model since 8th dropped? I mean really?

Is it time to play "count the models"?

Witch Elves have been around about as long as SoB, haven't they? Besides, these models might actually generate some sales.

Only the mega-armour version of the Big Mek with the KFF is in the Meganobz kit.

I thought this at first but there is a pic, of what I'd consider to be a Mek in Mega Armour but with the power loader instead of Klaw and a the Kustom Blasta gun and it just says "Big Mek".

Maybe they consider the model without the Klaw to be standard Big Mek?

Wasn't there a rumor about a new set coming out too? Sisters vs. Necrons and then later Mechnicus vs Necrons? The latter makes sense with the new mini-knight walkers and cyptek. Maybe it'll be announced at Adepticon in March.

One of the first thing that I saw too, but to me it is not about the color but the sept that they represent. So far the tau codexes have always has the ochre suits of the T'au sept on them. Since the very first codex. But it have been a while now that the poster child Vior'la sept in white and red had been on all the boxes and the website, etc... All the new models that have come out in the recent years were introduced in Vior'la paint...

Just recoloring the same image seems a tad bit lazy, though...

People keep trying to imply it's a tiny thing, but GW's facebook page when they teased "plastic sisters" a ways back tells a different story.

Well there's none of the starter sets up there now, and last time I saw one it had the same ludicrous markup as the ebay ones.
