2010 Schedule Whispers

Vorlon I heard similar earlier in the year from my local GW about the Storm Troopers appearing sometime in the new year.

The fantasty box set is rumor to be O&G and Empire.


Oh my that's a lot of books for one year...play testing anyone?

[the one]

I want one of everything! Wish I won that prize in the online raffle. Dribbles...

Fall: 40K mystery codex: ~hints regarding it are:
-"Blood Angels are only half of the story"
-"fleet based marines"
-"very nice stuff winging its way in our direction"

Angels of Death is back, w00t!

[Brass Scorpion]

If the new starter set has Empire and Orcs and some of the Empire models are Greatswords that would surely sell a lot of starter sets to existing Empire collectors.

My predictions are that fall will herald in a new Dark Angels codex. I can only hope that Dark Eldar get pushed so far back that GW gives up and cuts their losses on them.

Honestly, I'm not that optimistic about a Dark Angels Codex being on the horizon. The existing book is not that old though it seems like it is compared to every Codex to come after it. The one thing in favor of a quick revision on that one is simply that Dark Angels now have great looking plasitc sets and conversion sprues for the already popular Space Marine range and the DA plastics would certainly sell a lot better if the Codex was as exciting as the current Codex Space Marines.

I'm a dwarf and greenskin player - I had empire once, but didn't really get a good 'feel' for the army - if they placed great swords in there I would be tempted to rebuild my empire army (I still have a small force I didn't want to get rid of) - as is -there is no way I'm paying 42$ for 10 plastic men (nor am I paying 57$ for a plastic steam tank) - I don't care how cool the kit is!

Angels of Death is back, w00t!

I'm pretty sure someone killed this idea when those rumors first came out.

Lots of crazy talk on various forums this weekend. Here is a rundown of what the community hivemind is trying to piece together from the intermittent chatter out there:

January: Tyranids
February: Beastmen
March-May: Blood Angels
June-July: Fantasy 8th Edition Rulebook
September: Fantasy 8th Edition Boxed Set
Fall: 40K mystery codex: ~hints regarding it are:
-"Blood Angels are only half of the story"
-"fleet based marines"
-"very nice stuff winging its way in our direction"

There is talk of 3 codices in 2010 for 40k
General dispositions of various 40k armies awaiting new codices are described as:
-Necrons: Deep in the development cycle
-Dark Eldar: Deep in the development cycle
-Grey Knights: Work started
-Witchhunters: Work Started

I really hope that they get a new Black Templars codex out. I love them but they could use some love. So I'm holding out hope that we'll be in the "fleet based marines"

I am looking forward to a new Necron codex! I can get my shiny metal killers out of the closet!

And Witch hunters, I've wanted to play them for a long time but I'm boycotting the all metal mini range for them.

I'm holding out hope that they will get plastics when the new codex comes out.
