    Necrons
    -The Necrons will see the release of a Necron lord.
    -They will recieve a codex in January.

    Tyranids
    -Tyranids will see the release of two large bugs.
    -The rules for their models will be in the box like the Nagash release.
    -This is just a model release for the Tyranids, no codex.
    -Kits coming in 6-7 weeks.
    -Kits "will give the army more punch"

    Blood Angels
    -Lastly the Blood angels will be released at the end of the year.

    End Times: Chaos (3 weeks)
    Week 1: BlightKings / Gutrot Spume
    Week 2: Maggot Lords
    Week 3: Glotkin / End Times:Chaos Book

    Everyone is eagerly awaiting the "big unveiling" of the Glotkin kit, said to be the big "Nagash equivalent" of the End Times Chaos window.

    40k: Blood Angels (1 week)
    There is still some chatter out there regarding Necrons, but Blood Angels is in the majority. In any case this look like a quick 1 week release slot stuffed into the schedule like Grey Knights was. So for the fans, whoever gets the spot will be coming first, but don't look for too many miniatures to be released alongside it.

    Chaos Part 2 (2 weeks)
    Week 1: Unknown
    Week 2: Unknown

    This Chaos wave is not believed to be linked to the End Times series, so is expected to have dual use models for both WFB and 40K. Usual suspects listed in rumor chatter are the Greater Deamons, but there is talk of Nurgle getting much more love from the studio this time around than the other 3 powers. GUO chatter is higher than the others suspects.

    This takes us into mid November with the usual:
    - GW holiday bundles,
    - Terrain special deals,
    - and last (because there aren't any more movies) The Hobbit releases.


    End Times 3 (January 2015)
    Book 3 featuring the Skaven and some "additional Chaos" picks up the trail and kicks off a very big eventful year for Warhammer Fantasy.

    Necrons (Early-mid Q1)
    The last of the hardcover 40K codices arrives. If the order was reversed, this could be Blood Angels. Look for this release to be longer with more kits released than the 40K Codex in late October.

    I keep getting questions about a Tyranids Codex release and here's some info.

    1. This is a model release no Tyranids codex.
    2. A Campaign book will be released and if I remember correctly it's called Leviathan.
    3. Blood Angels are still coming.
    4. There will be a starter set that contains BA and Tyranids. It will be similar to Storm Claw.
    5. Hope to update Blood Angel rumors this week.

    Hope this helps.

    With all the talk and rumors of the new Tyranid stuff, Blood Angels, and the campaign involving the two I am going to clear up some misinformation/misunderstanding. The box coming out containing Tyranids and Blood Angels is NOT a starter set. It is a campaign box like Stormclaw was. Yes there are similarities between a starter set and a campaign box. Both contain models and the small rule book. The main differences being:
    -Campaign box is limited production
    -Campaign box does not have the snap fit models
    Dark Vengeance is your starter set for the foreseeable future. As for the contents of the campaign box, we don't know yet. As soon as we are able to tell you we will. I would not put much stock in the rumors of a plastic Broodlord or Plastic Lictor in there unless perhaps they make one into a character.
    Latest word on starter set 10-30-2014
    Blood Angels
    5 death company

    Tyranids
    3 warriors
    20 gaunts
    3 lictors (this makes no sense, perhaps Hive Guard)
    1 NEW Exclusive Prime

    Campaign is slated to kick off the week after Tyranids

    I don't know if any other german WD readers noticed:

    on page 20 of the current WD, where they talk about the various ways to benefit from the Toxicrene, some note is written in the bottom left corner (I'll translate):

    "Shield of Baal: Leviathan ist ausschließlic in englischer Sprache erhältlich, aber damit du sofort mit dem Spielen loslegen kannst, haben wir hier die Regeln auf Deutsch abgedruckt."

    "Shield of Baal: Leviathan is exclusively available in English, but for the purpose of playing immediatly we printed the rules in German here for you."

    So I think we got a name...

    Ok, this is either going to go down like a lead balloon or I may have just found the holy grail of rumour farming!!!!

    So here goes, the next book being released for the campaign is....
    Shield of Baal:Exterminatus.

    Not only that but the Blood angels codex is coming with this funky little tidbit:
    Codex Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard Edition
    As well as:
    Blood Angels Data Cards(English)

    I know people will throw salt all over this, but I believe it is genuine and I have proof but I just don't want to give it away just yet in case Games Workshop patch that particular hole because it could be a potential gold mine for info.
    via Nightfury

    "The Sanguinary Guard edition will be similar to the wolfguard limited edition SW codex with counters and an artfolio.. should go up for preorders the last week in november if the timetable is correct along with the much anticipated LE boxed set that will almost certainly include the new tyranid broodlord i told you about a few weeks ago"
    So take that with some salt - as it comes from two commenter's on Faeit 212

    Once again I feel like it's the morning after. It was so good, I felt loved, you told me (40k) I was the only one for you, but then that necromancer walked by and now you won't even look at me. I should have learnt last time you stayed and had gone before I woke up. Now I just have a tub of ice cream, some old codex and the edge of reason to keep me company, will I ever learn.

    I can neither confirm nor deny that the bugs are allegedly getting at least 2 new strings to their bow (I don't know if these are big bugs) in the next 5 months, which will add a little more straight up effectiveness to the army, to make up for the lost of biomancy powers. They also sell too well not to; and certain key people at the studio love them.

    With rumours so vague how can I go wrong. Check back 31st March 2015 to throw mud at me.

    If October is the 1 week release and January the longer one, it makes much more sense that Necrons are first then BA. Necrons have a good variety of models so I don't expect a whole lot of new ones.

    That's true, but blood angels then necrons returns GW to the xenos / imperial / xenos / imperial schedule they like to maintain.
