Warhammer Expansion this Summer

[Ender Shadowkin]

All still just wishlisting. Why isn't this in General?

well it's not nearly as bad as that Brettonian thread. There have been a few little birdy chirps in this thread, and hopefully some more can be drawn out. Although I bet we'll have to clear through the O&G release first.

[Fingol23]

Partly because the first post contains a quote from Harry I would expect (and Bram Gaunt while I'm at it)

[scarletsquig]

It'll only be a couple of weeks before we get the Incoming! newsletter for June, and then we'll know for sure about this. It'll either be this or dark eldar wave 2... but that second wave seems to be piggybacking on top of other releases at this point.

[Grimstonefire]

If it is a 'summer' release, which it's not yet certain this is, would it not be released in August?

If the rumors in this thread and the "Summer of Flyers" 40K thread are correct I would expect something like:

June - Dark Eldar 2nd wave (Venom, Wracks, etc.)
July/August - 40K Flyer thing and Warhammer expansion in whatever order
September - 40K Xeno Codex (Necrons or Tau)
October - Fantasy Codex (OK or Brets seem most likely at this point)
November - 40K Marine/Imperium Codex (likely Black Templars or SoB)

All pure speculation mind you, and assuming that they keep up the same release pace in the second half of the year that they have so far.

Our shops in Russia got removed nearly all blisters range - it now mainly contains heroes, mages and librarians-commanders, bosses etc for 40k - for example now we get only 5 blisters for marines from 15 or so we got previously.
I ve asked our bosses how are we going to sell warhammer with no heroes models, they told me not to worry that in summer GW is going to make things much better. They do not know what GW meant, maybe we get an expansion with loads of plastic characters kits for different armies?

oh, maybe a seven knights style on steroids, with characters on monsters and such?

[Lakomasoi]

Maybe a character customization// Upgrade kit for each army?

Just to be clear Tancred, can you take a look at this thread:

This may not have anything to do with the summer releases. It may be worth asking if that is what he meant.

Could be. I noticed yesterday that all but two of the beastmen characters have been moved to "GW online only" status. Pretty strange way to sell an army, if you can't buy a simple general...

I know what they meant ...
... and it is nothing to do with the summer release.
It is something different.

[VenomBlood]

It is something different.

Unless it's a free shipping worldwide, I don't get it.

Harry always teasing us with snippets of information... Interesting. I wonder if we're looking at a nearly full move to plastic, or perhaps something else.

[Tancred II von Quenelles]

Grim - I ve seen this thread long ago, it seems we got removed quite more things considering words of my bosses-it ll be more clear when I get the new price list.

[Grimstonefire]

Are they removing any plastic sets from the list, or all metal?

[Tancred II von Quenelles]

they are mainly removing blisters. some metal boxes as well

[Underway]

Does "Summer of Flyers" have any crossover to fantasy? Like "Summer of Chaos" did? Therefore I see plastic harpies, jabberslythe, doom divers, manticore, chimera, carrion, etc... being released this summer.

Just another random thought for what it could be. Though I'm still thinking that its a magic supplement.

[Captain Ventris]

I've heard it will be Warhammer: Fortifications with a whole expanded ruleset for the use of Castles, walls and the means to take them down (monsters, cannons, etc.)

[Korraz]

We've been over this a couple of times. No Siege.

I totally forgot to post this before with my other post here...

But it comes from the same person and the same occasion...

He saw in production a Dark Elf Lord on a Dragon at the Manufacturing stage...

That fits with the characters/monsters theme thats been going on in this thread...
