More rumors are here mapping out the next month or so of Warhammer 40K and FANTASY releases too. Come see what may be right around the corner!
Darnok is chiming in with what he knows. He’s normally one of the more ‘accurate’ rumor-mongers our there. He’s saying we’re in for a ton of Astartes soon, check it out!
I can confirm that Space Marines are coming, as well as Dark Angels. Three weeks of SM releases, one for DAs. After the AdMech stuff is done there is an Eldar armybox, and then it’s Marines.As for those rumours in the OP: eh, “rules rumours” are usually crap, as are these. I consider the “sprue rumours” to be nothing more than wishlisting too.
Well, it will be right after the SM releases, so late June or early July. And quite a lot of stuff too, should be only WHF for a while.
There is a lot of WHF coming after the SM releases are done. Just not at the beginning of June.
Here’s what the schedule he’s laying out would look like on paper.
May 23 – Cult Mechanicus (final week-3, Eldar Army box in here somewhere)
May 30 – Space Marines (week-1)
June 6 – Space Marines (week-2)
June 13 – Space Marines (week-3)
June 20 – Dark Angels (week-1)
June 27 – WFB 9th Releases begin
We’ve see a ton of late June Fantasy release rumors, and also that the last weekend of May and third weekend of June were ‘red weeks’ where BIG releases were expected at GW stores.
Remember too the GW fiscal year starts on June 1 so it may be that whatever comes out on May 30th is expected to be a BIG seller to close out their sales year.
