Is a confirmed rumour still a rumour, or is it then fact?
Necron or Dark Eldar were suggested for later in the year (Nov '10/Dec '10/Jan '11) time slot.
I don’t see why Orks would get another wave. There’s been 2 waves already and I can’t think of anything that has yet to be released from the Codex. What was supposed to be in another release?

I forgot about that. GW would probably only show it if it was within 6 months, so that would mean it could be close, maybe whichever of the april/may/june Dark elves are not being done?
‘early 2010’ is as soon as I can find for Daemons wave.
Since the question has been asked, Orks could quite desperately do with a box to put together buggies & trakks TBH. The old kits are currently the oldest plastics still in production, and have NOT aged well. It could be done with a single sprue with all the options.
Then it would be nice to have plastic Meganobz, Killakans & Deffdreads (one sprue to make either, like in 1st ed, would do nicely), and big guns (again, a single sprue will do the trick), though this is more wishlisting than anything.
Daemons and Dark Elves are likley 2nd wave candidates next year, Daemons especially.
Possibly. I have a feeling the orcs may look quite different to the current ones. With any luck they will have progressed beyond monopose, but for the boxed set I guess people just want as many models as possible.
Is 8th edition really confirmed to be Orcs… AGAIN?? how overdone…
My dream would be to see them release a new army via the starter box set… Like what they did with 40k when they released dark eldar for the first time in the starter box.
It’s proving hard to nail down when people expect the other warhammer armies to appear. Some people have said ogres in may, others have said they’re not the next army after beasts (implying something else is). People generally seem to think tomb kings will be end of 2010, or first in 2011.
It is proving frustrating atm, as gaps mysteriously open up for a big warhammer release between say may and 8th ed, but people ‘in the know’ seem to be confused as well.
Hypothetically if they were to release CD as the ‘focus of the month’, it would put them in either april/may/june (whichever month the dark elves and daemons are not), august, or oct/nov/dec (whichever month the last warhammer army of the year and dark eldar/ necrons are not). So basically at any time
If they were only drip feeding some models from forgeworld, not for any particular book it could be in any month.
Although I am not so clear on non-WFB rumours i have seen the following…may not be the most up to date…
March you can also add the 40K scenario book… That means that March is overloaded and i would expect either blood angels or LOTR stuff to overlap into heavily April since GW doesn’t like to have major competing releases
Q1 2010 rumor had O&G for WHFB…This casts into doubt TK in Q1 as well… Also you have to guess where Ogres are going to fall since they have also been hinted…
Also Harry has strongly hinted that VC Dark Knights are coming as well… We also have rumours of new Empire knights and Orc BB. Whether that is just in the new starter box or a possible wave release is up to debate at this point. Butthe 2nd wave releases appear to be touching on several armies makes a better tie in to a the edition release…rather then a standalone month… ie Release new BRB and buy a bunch 2nd wave stuff too…
December: Possibly another wave of orks
January: Tyranids, Legion of the Damned (15 models)
February: Beasts of Chaos
March: Blood Angels, 40K Scenario Book
April -Rohan & Isengard
May -
June -
July - 8th Edition Warhammer Rules - 2nd wave release for DE, DOC, VC
