You all can pick through these and try to figure out what you think GW’s best release schedule week to week might be.

Any Specialist Game Release (I would be shocked if they had any ready in time, but you never know)
And of course this weeks BIG rumor:
Now the big thing we can take away from the roadmap release above is, no one is perfect. There was no mention of Orks, Tau or even the new Tactical Supremecy cards. So is Games Workshop option selecting releases out on the fly, or are these rumored releases already “stale”?
Keep it locked right here for more information on the twin Ork and Tau releases, new 40k Tactical Supremacy, and more!
