Eldar & Orks, Next Xenos Releases?

By Rob Baer | November 10th, 2012 | Categories: Warhammer 40k, Warhammer 40k Rumors

Here is the latest from around the Interwebs on the upcoming Xenos release.

Standard disclaimers apply, however I did a little digging myself and found some stuff from the UK Games Day that supports some of this banter.

It seem a little curious (at least to me) that these mock-up are in greens rather than computer generated.  Does that mean they are dated to the pre-CAD design days?  Where does the time go…?

New Eldar Bomber and Much More

Yesterday in the rumor mill, Stickmonkey is letting go of what models we should expect for 2013 for both Eldar and Orks. In the works there is mention of a couple new units not seen before for 40k, including a new Eldar Tank, New Eldar bomber, and more.

Please remember that these are rumors.
