I've seen people saying that, according to GW at the seminar, the releases are in this order - can someone verify?

One of [Space Wolves/Orks]

The other one of [Space Wolves/Orks]

Completely new 40k faction (apparently they said this, I've not heard any verification yet).

Genestealer Cults

Sisters of Battle

Good. That would fit with what we know so far : Space Wolves (August) / Orks (Septmber)

Before those two, in July, Kill Team, and after, in Autumn, Rogue Trader.

The completely new faction is either Emperor's Children or Wolrd Eaters.

When gw last time released 2 codex in 2 months? I say one of them late july, early august, other soon and within august

Just now? Harlequins and deathwatch?

Not only have they been doing 1 every month, but most months have had 2 codexes released in them. There's not been a single 2 month period since mid 2017 that didnt have 2 codexes released.

Can’t remember the exact wording but they did admit it was a pretty bad army and that the new book would rectify that

Thats great to hear; at least they do understand that just rehashing index will not do, so hopefully they'll put some work into it.

Well hopefully they they put. The book by now is done and in printers if not shipping already

So do we know for sure that wolves are next and then orks or they didnt say anything about the order of the 2 codex releases?

Nighthaunts stuff looks great.

So is there a chance GW will reveal something else/more during weekend?

No. They only had one seminar scheduled.

Loving the abberant- I wonder if they’ll get some ranged weaponry, like the vehicle mounted Mining laser.

Only for about 10 years. I’d be very surprised to see anything to do with Tau auxiliaries.

WAAAAGH!!! ORKS!!!

As far as a new faction goes, I really hope it's something Xenos aligned - and not entirely new as well; we don't need MORE races and factions. We need more XENOS aligned Mercenaries.

Rogue Traders just sound like more Imperial garbage; Kroot Auxiliaries would be great - I love Kroot, and would be glad to see them fleshed out more.

I'd really love to see a Xenos Mercenary codex - GSC infiltrators working with other factions, Kroot working with the highest bidders, Freebooter Orks, Necrons working for trade goods, and other such xenos; so that every Xenos faction essentially got a shared supplement, and could start souping a bit themselves (for better balance and fun).

THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS THOUGH IZ ORKZ BEING THE BESTST! WAAAGH!!! THEYZ NEVA BEATN IN BATTLE!

I hope it’s not a completely new faction; I want it to be Exodites. Just go all-in on elves-on-dinosaurs like they pulled off with the elves-on-fish in AoS…
I really don’t need another Imperium faction. Not with SoS/Inq/IA coming down the pipe and SoB in development again.

You realise that exodites on flying space turtles is more likely as that way you can have another 40k/AoS crossover army

GW knows that that is what all eldar players secretly long for

Ugh, there's enough Eldar factions.

I think a mixed mercenary xeno book would be amazing. It would also appeal to a lot of people.

Ummm those came in may. May as in one month.

Yeah.... I have no idea what kind of point you're trying to make then. 2 in 2 months is much less of a feat than 2 in 1 month.

so is this a reference to russ or not?

Isnt that the picture FW used when they released the Russ model? So an old picture.

Yes it is, and you can see it HERE on Forge World's Facebook page.

I absolutely love this...

Warhammer Community’s Nick is one of the hard-working moderators behind our Facebook pages, and thus is no stranger to the feeling of being endlessly pursued by an icy, crushing wave of death.

Haha


Anyway all great news

It will be so strange to be out of this rapid fire codex release cycle... Can't wait to see what's next once all factions have their codex

Probably a new edition

V2 Codexes with new units, Rulebook update, new factions.... tonnes of universe left to milk mine!

Just as a quick note, for anyone not aware the Games Expo has now become a pretty big event from quite humble beginnings. GW is one company here amongst a number, admittedly a good proportion of them are boardgame related but it's definitely worth the trip for the whole hobby event.

https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/

Beasts of War have rolling coverage of the events and different things on offer, haven't seen it yet but they usually have a good go with Salute in terms of showing what is going on there if you're not able to attend

considering the community page released a quote saying gnecult was the last Xenos codex I doubt any kroot codex is likely planned in the future.

That said I think the quote was referring to Xenos that we currently have within the game with a previous codex and are awaiting an update. It's not stating that no new xeno groups are planned nor that no new xeno sub-groups are planned; just that from what we've had before only the Genestealer Cult (after orks) remains to be done.

I think GW would consider Kroot to be a fully new army concept for Xenos so if that were coming it wouldn't be something we'd be "waiting for" until GW give formal announcement of it.




As gamers we also don't know what GW's actual plans are once the last formal army codex drops. We know there's a lag time before Sisters of Battle, but otherwise we can only speculate on what GW will do from this point on. With a new Age of Sigmar release my impression is that we might see Sigmar releases pick up the pace (esp books) so we might now be approaching a year or so of heavy Sigmar releases; with 40K getting data-slate released new models and updated sculpts in drips and drabs whilst Sigmar takes the limelight (which would be a good thing to help solidify the strength of that range). We've also got Titanicus in August which will likely dominate that month and will add to Necromunda, Bloodbowl and other games.

Or GW could be addicted to new armies (Sigmar certainly shows that they are as they've split several armies into sub-faction armies) and we could see ever more codex released and further splitting of armies (personally I hope we dont - a few new things is good - too many and it get silly )

was it reshared on the GW facebook page just recently or something though?

as for a future post codex set up, I could see GW refining the idea of codex supplements, new models some new rules etc. be a good way to introduce new kits, AND patch some of the worse codices out ther (grey knights loioking at you)

That 2 in 2 months is unlikely release schedule for orks and wolves as was suggested as gw is doing codexes faster than that.

If you are unsure read what i wrote and to what i wrote

Now that thing is so ugly not even a Hivequeen could love it.

The Cawdor models are excellent. All of them seem to have the arms attaching under the upper robes so hopefully will have a flush edge like the Van Saar and Escher models to allow easy magnetising.

So, are there not going to be any more females in Necromunda? They did their one obligatory all-female gang with ladies in and every other gang is going to be a complete sausagefest?

I had such high hopes after DE were released with multi-sex sprues, but they seem to have just reverted to the 'obligatory one off token release' generally and left it there for the most part.

There are a couple in the Van Saar gang. It kind of makes sense if Cawdor are a really misogynistic kind of religious. Delaque might have female members, have to wait and see.

You're right, I didn't spot those two female torsos lurking in the back of the Cawdors. Thanks!
