kanaellars Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok, so was down at the local GW today and got a few ramblings. Take them with a grain of salt, although some of them sound interesting. 1) November 2009 release date 2) Bjorn is BACK and bada** 3) New Space Wolves to play like a mix of SM and Eldar (ie still power armoured power, but each unit with a specific speciality and use) 4) Long Fangs improved and/or cheaper 5) New IG version of Leman Russ tank included. Again, all caveats apply, this is just rumormill. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163561-newest-unconfirmed-ramblings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfoe Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm sure you'll get smacked for having yet another rumor thread :) I have to say though, it's nice to see SOMETHING posted to indicate we're moving forward. It may not mean anything, but at least we're hearing something. Thanks.

Yeti Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Some good news all round ... hope it's true. IMHO, they're all likely to be true and 1 & 3 practically aren't news anymore. The end of the year has been bandied around a lot and we already play like #3 ... at least I do! As for the Long Fangs, I hope they fixed the unit and not just dropped the price. Otherwise they'll still be a rare thing on the battlefield.

kanaellars Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know it's rumor, and I know all I have to base it on is my local Games Workshop manager and what he says he heard on his last trip up to Nottingham, but its always nice to hear SOMETHING that isnt just "its coming soon" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163561-newest-unconfirmed-ramblings/#findComment-1922492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keercrevlis Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Another LR will be cool.

Rommel44 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 That would be great if they brought Bjorn back and having cheaper long fangs would be nice as well, but being a mix of SM and Eldar.......... interesting but as you said there rumors.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I was browsing through some recent IG rumours on Warseer and was reading about the new systems they use with issueing orders to troops at the begninning of the turn. To me this seems like a new step forward for GW as I dont recall anything like this before in 40K, perhaps were in for a treat with something new and shiny other than adjusted point costs etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163561-newest-unconfirmed-ramblings/#findComment-1922835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanaellars Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 What I have been hearing does point to something "new" and "different", but not in the same way that IG is "new" and "different"... thats what I was told at least. lol. God its gonna be a long wait. =/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163561-newest-unconfirmed-ramblings/#findComment-1922842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've shelved mine until at least the Summer. "The 6 month window" will then open and hopefully the eyedropper from the Great GW Machine will dispense something concrete in the way of: Characters, Force/Unit Structure, Points Cost, Abilities, Wargear, Models/Sprues and such through WD or other official means. Until then we will not know for sure what we can or can't have nor how many of in anything we are trying to build. Best info I've seen has been December release, though it is possible it may come a tad earlier in late Nov. This is fine and all (salt taken), but until the window opens and official statements/pictures are released........it's still a rumor.

kanaellars Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Very true, although remember that GW almost never actually does a codex in December. Its always a second wave, or expansion wave, or something like that. The last codex slot for christmas therefor is normally the November slot. Also, take with generous amounts of salt, but Dan Abnetts "Prospero Burns" is official for a November release, so it would be fitting.

Thorgrim Blackwolf Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 If the 6 month window and the November release date holds true then we should start to hear official statements regarding our new codex sometime during May. Thanks for providing some more up-to-date rumours, Kanellars but I am with the consensus on this one. Untill I start seeing offical statments about whats in our new codex in the stores, WD or on the GW website, I am going to take any new rumours that pop up with a truck load of salt as you suggest.

Yeti Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 If the 6 month window and the November release date holds true then we should start to hear official statements regarding our new codex sometime during May. Weird eh ... that would be just after the IG release ... talk about timing! :) Honestly though ... it'll probably be late June or early July. The "6 month window" has been shrinking of late. Take for example Skaven. They're supposed to be the next Fantasy release for this summer and so far ... didly boop in the rumour mill. A few obvious fixes on overpowered units/spellls, confirmation of who's writting it ... but other than that, little or nothing. Presuming an August release, we're 2+ months into the "6 month window" and we still haven't seen a test model or anything ....
