Confirmed in WD
February: Haradrim and Corsairs -apparently this is the last time LOTR will get a month all to itself on the release schedule. In future it will have to share with 40k or Fantasy.
March: Vampire Counts
Safe Bet
April/May: Demons for fantasy & 40k Not sure if they're being released in the same month. Jervis Johnson has said in WD that the 40k codex is on its way, so this seems like a safe bet.
Rumours
Summer:
Planet Strike 40k Expansion - All kinds of rumours surround this; I think it probably is the next 40k expansion and it will deal with planetry landings (obviously). I 'm sure the release date is open to change.. As for rumours of plastic Valkyries and Thunderhawks.. I'm skeptical.
Autumn:
5th Edition 40k: Well this has its own thread, so all I'll say is that I think autumn is the very earliest e're likely to see it.
October/November:
Dark Eldar and Dark Elves are being re-done
Christmas: Space Marines
Would make sense if 5th Edition has recently come out.
Pure Personal Speculation
I think Space Wolves will get the Blood Angel treatment and have a new codex published in White Dwarf. They're the last of the big four chapters and they're long over due for an update, but I can't quite imagine them getting a new codex this year. | | Back to top | |

| planet strike sounds fun!
But i doubt plastic thunderhawks,
and all that,
but it would be cool!
And new dark eldar would be very cool,
they have great fluff,
but bad minis.

My local GW staff have been giving tons of hints about a Plastic Thunder Hawk however if asked directly they say and quote "I can't say"... I think someones been reading to much of the Horus Heresy novels

| I expect they have the technology to make a plastic Thunderhawk - it can't be that much harder than the Baneblade. Of course that doesn't mean they will do it. | | Back to top | |

If the Baneblade was or is looking to be a fanacial success I can see them doing a Thunder Hawk :> as TBH there are more space marine armys than Guard (although everyone can practically use the Bane Blade ), however Chaos and Orks and the Inqusition could probabbly get away with using Thunder Hawks. | | Back to top | |

| I'd love a new Tau Codex to match the 5th Ed Codex because lots of our current stuff don't mesh that well with the new rules especially the one about defensive weapons, Str4 weapons just don't exist in the Tau Army (except Kroot)
Ahhhhh...nothing like the sound of 1000 railguns in the morning | | Back to top | |
