SALT WARNING: This set of rumor is rated: POSSIBLE, coming from a mixture of known and unknown sources. Caveat Emptor
So now we’re starting to hear conflicting yes/nos from some of the ‘normal’ rumor sources.  Either way it’s clear that something is coming either way as no one is sure whats on deck in April/ May of this year. Look for a BIG release in May as Games Workshop’s fiscal year ends May 31!
