Tau are the first 40k release of next year (after the Deamons which release for both at the same time) and before Eldar.
Dark Angels are, after CSM and before Chaos Daemons (Last codex of 2012)
Should look something like… Sep CSM, Oct WoC, Nov DA, beginning Dec Hobbit, busy few months eh and next year looks likely to continue the pace.
I believe CSM will be in the WD after the starter box issue and release end sep/begin oct. then same pattern for WoC, DA & Hobbit. Does seem a lot to cram in before the end of the year but I’m reliably informed this is what’s happening…of course I could be wrong.
White Dwarf
393 starter
394 CSM
395 WoC
396 Hobbit
No SoB for a long time yet
For clarity running order for 40k & wfb =
40k starter
Chaos Space Marines
Warriors of Chaos
Dark Angels
Chaos Daemons/Daemons of Chaos
Tau
High Elves
Eldar
Lizard Men
That little lot should take us to around this time next year or a couple of months after (plus waves of models in between the codex/army book releases… oh and the hobbit stuff).
So this is What 2012 should look like…
Chaos Space Marines: End of September
Warriors of Chaos: End of October
Dark Angels: End of November
Hobbit: Beginning of December
Chaos Daemons: last codex of the year? End of December?
Tau: First Codex of 2013
The first part of this looks similar to what I have heard for White Dwarf. White Dwarf for October is full of Chaos Marines. So with my sources and Hastings (which is very reliable, I have to go with this set. In essence everything seems to line up)
October white dwarf articles are all about chaos
Chaos Marines and Dark Angels before years end.
As an old school Realm/Hordes of chaos collector this is great news, although I am a bit peeved that High Elves, Orcs, WoC, DoC, and Lizards all get two updates before Wood Elves and Brets get even one.
I though Gw learn there lession with the lord of the ring figure flop.
I'm afraid it was a huge success, actualy.
Indeed the plastic LotR range is pretty ugly, but nevertheless, the three games following the three movies, and then the complete game, made GW earn a LOT of money, which was immediatly used in R&D, giving us amazing plastic kits in the years after.
Although LotR killed all the potential parallel games such as Epic, Mordheim etc etc, it did had a great success, even if nowadays the game isn't in very good health..
The Hobbit movies are pretty frightening to me, everything leaking about them seem totally crap in my opinion, so maybe this time it will be a failure, but i sincerely doubt it.
Let's prey for the death of this bad game and rebirth of the great Mordheim :cheers
Vaguely related, there is supposed to be some kind of centauroid gun creature for CSM.
I’m loving the volume of rumours now. I think it’s better even than what I call the golden era for rumours around 2004-2007 time. We haven’t had it this good in many years certainly.
Any updates on the new wood elves and dwarf release this fall
Anyone ????

Yeah dwarfs are way later (end of 2013 or start of 2014) unfortunately which is the reason I stopped playing them. And that most people at Bugmans are a bunch of pansies so you can't trust any information that comes out of that drunken rage hole
