The Lion’s first legion burst into the limelight today. Are the Dark Angels releasing soon?
Faeit collected these rumors earlier today. No word as to their validity, however it does look like the promo item below has been coming in Games Workshop mail order packages this week.
It may signify the Dark Angels as being the 1st legion of Space Marines OR it could just be a generic squad marking over the tactical symbol.

As to the suggestion of Azrael, I’m going to post this here. I heard a little tidbit that contradicts some information I posted earlier.
Next 3 releases are still Eldar, DA, Tzeentch.
I’ve now heard the DA Tac. Squad isn’t coming with this release. (Which in no way means the release list has changed, the release dates do NOT change. If isn’t coming it simply isn’t coming.)
The Chaplain I heard about is also apparently going to be released separately rather than in a box set as I thought originally.
It was specifically titled a “Interrogator Chaplain” rather than just DA Chaplain ala the Blood Angel Libarian.
So as far as I know the release will just be a new Chaplain and Codex.
Release date May.Regarding the Rumored Eldar Codex….
I heard it was a full new dex with a spotlight on the 5 major Craftworlds and some formations to represent some of their battle tactics. Whether the Craftworlds themselves will get anymore rules than that I don’t know.
I heard new DA dex originally, but since this new tidbit I’m not 100%. I’m going to keep digging for new info.via Bloodthirster on Dakka
I’m not entirely sure if this is right, but I think I found a working redirect for a Interrogator.

It changes ala the Skitarri and Eldar ones. Couldn’t find one for a new codex though…
Courts adjourned on this one folks, there is no prescient to draw from here. The Dark Angels are already on the rumored release schedule for 2015, perhaps they’ll fit in the one week window between the end of Ad Mech Releases, and the start of Fantasy 9th?
