Breaking Chaos Release Date & Units

Blood of Kittens posted up some more Chaos Space Marines rumors recently.

He’s had the Chaos book since well before WarGameCon and shared a lot of it with some of us back then.

Personally I am especially fond of the picture of the Dragon Flyer he has.  I’m sure as the next release date approaches his site may go down again to another suspicious “denial of service” attack like what happened with his 6th rumors…

Those pesky denial of service attacks coming out of the U.K. tisk tisk…. Maybe BoK should get a Facebook page?

++++++ New INFO AS OF TODAY +++++++++

via Faeit 212 (a Must Remain Anonymous Source)

That said, the starter box will not be being released in September at all.

Big Pause…………..

It’s the last Saturday of August along with the White Dwarf previewing CSM. (the 25th).
