This week’s White Dwarf’s teaser has a fairly obvious teaser pointing to Tau the week after Skarbrand. Multiple rumormongers are saying to look for a 3 week Tau release schedule probably like this:
Week 1: XV128 Stormsurge
Week 2: XV95 Ghostkeel
Week 3: Codex, Fire Warriors, Commander
Horus Heresy has been said by multiple rumormongers to be arriving in the October-November timeframe. Then this showed up today:
