The new starter set for warhammer fantasy 9th edition set to be released this summer will contain orcs and goblins and empire. The set will contain mounted riders for empire and gunners. Night goblins and orcs with a river troll for O & G. There is set to be around 50 models in this set with more than said here.

Note this is from a good source though the models content is not tor definite.

Quoted from an independant source:

To go with forge world combining web pages with GW, they will release codexes containing their products with all rules, stats and fluff for each army for both 40k and fantasy. These will be similar to supplements with new rules and warlord traits. The prices are said to be similar to 40k hard back codices.

Forge world is being rumoured to start doing hobbit/lotr kits. This has come around with GW not being able to produce a smaug model due to their agreement with new line cinema that all models must be of right likelyness and scale. Other models rumoured to be done are the necromancer, sauron and even terrain.

Note this is just rumours at the moment

13/1/14: Dwarfs

Dwarfs are set to get a heavy release in the first two weeks of february. The first week is the armybook and all redos of metal/finecast kits along with troops units. The second week will bring new kits and the larger ones like warmachines and characters, a new plastic dwarf king clampack.

Dwarf slayers and hammerers will get a new plastic kit and a new siege engine aswell aswell as a war alter will be released aswell

14/1/14
New gw website:

The new gw website will launch in march. The forgeworld, black library and gw sites will merge as one under the name of Games Workshop. How all books and fw products will be arranged is to be seen. whether all books and novels will be under each army they are about or under a black libary tab and FW products under each army or under a FW tab.

2-year old Dakka user, and the rumors range from conservative and safe (the army-codex lists), to fairly salty (the WFB 9th Ed). Worth keeping in mind to check back on.

[eldargal]

Contradicts the Bretonnia, Wood Elf and Beastmen armies being scrapped rumour, which automatically make it more likely.

Anything that contradicts that rumour gets my thumbs up

Anything that contradicts that rumour gets my thumbs up

Which is ironic, as those rumours were the result of someone having their thumb up their unmentionable.

[thegreedyfly]

Alot of the Brets boxes have been removed from the GW website, does this mean they could be next months release

[Mr Mystery]

Out soon I'd imagine.

There was a general rumour a while back that they want to get all the Army Books up to 8th Ed standard in time for 9th Ed (which I still expect to be a spit and polish on 8th, which was a fairly heavy overhaul of the system)

[Wildeybeast]

See that's interesting. I'd assumed we would be after dwarves as that is where most of the rumours had out them, as well as some rumours/wish listing/basic deduction about new kits, where as we've had virtually nothing on Brets. Yet half their kits are gone whilst everything in the wood elf range still seems to be fully stocked.
