* New GK Terminators 3ups (5 poses, 1 HQ/leader)
* New Daemonhunter/Witchhunter concept art
* New DH/WH vehicles/support
* New Ork dreads
* New Marine models for a specific chapter
* New SM concept art
* New DE models (these are sweet, and I'm not a DE lover)
* New DE concept art
* New Guard tanks/artillery
* New Necron MC sized model
* New Necron concept art
* New Ork vehicles
* New 40k concept art and 3ups tied to a future Codex release
* A lot of the Missions book tie in releases

Obviously a lot of this just strengthens rumors that are already out there. And some of it looks very rough, as in 3ups with lots of notes for changes.

I'm struggling to hold back and just dump specifics. There is one model in particular I want to talk about, but am unable, but you all will find that out soon anyhow, it's part of the Missions release, so news will spill out in due course.


His stuff does seem to be relatively on the ball. Some of this has already hit the shelves, as we know. Number 2 made me get all giddy.

Concerning Dark Eldar, My Battalion seem to have confirmed sources, make of it what you will:

'1. They are coming in October / September of this year. - multiple confirmed sources
2. The range has been completely redone and is supposedly epic.
3. Phil Kelly is the author
4. They are going to be tough, a turn one or two army, based on raiding (who would have thought)
5. Fluff has been completely redone / overhauled
6. Pain tokens are in. Not sure if some or all squads will have them...but pain tokens will grant USRs for enemy units destroyed in battle amongst other things possibly.
7. Rumblings of possible resin kits becoming plastic....not sure on this one.


So we are still relatively light on details but we do know they are coming and we have a pretty solid timeline of October from multiple sources...would be a great and spooky halloween release. Behind this info was included a tidbit about the necrons being released in early 2011...soooo any who there ya have it, thats what we know.'


Update - 04/22/2010

From trolling other sources, the word on the street is to expect some kind of codex within a fortnight, thats 2 weeks to you American types :P

Its looking favorite that it could well be Grey Knights, as they seem to be having stuff drop off the website on both GW and FW respectively. Dark *yawn* Eldar would be getting an October release, giving GW time and opportunity to 'hype' an entire new revamped line, presumably at Games Day/Golden Demon. GW have mentioned that this year will be an interesting one. Wtf that means is anyones guess.

Just a little bit more gossip for you ;)

While I don't think they need work on the Codex, they could definitely do with some new plastics, especially those Zerkers. Are Khorne the only ones who don't have a metal box set? and weirdly enough, the reverse is true for the other legions. Metal sets, but no plastic kits... :blink:

Yeah too much of their stuff is metal and old, and I don't want to buy any more metal.

I'm sure they'll get a facelift at some point, but there's plenty else which needs updating first, and new codicies...

Man, wish i had jumped on a couple of the DE armies i saw for sale in the past three months for dirt cheap.

It's probably best to wait for the newer models(Vehicles maybe?)

hmm, 2 weeks for a codex? thats flying under the radar a bit. Don't doubt it, but where's the buildup? Gw loves them some buildup.

I'm actually waiting for the DE dex. I wonder how much old DE stuff will go out for sale/trade cheap for new stuff when they come out? I kinda liked the raiders and the jetbikes.
