WoC

[logan054]

Chaos furies would add far more to the list than forsaken unless they can fly or something equally as silly

To be honest I wouldn't hope for that much! It seems that GW decided that the removal of daemons from the WoC list justifies the exclusion of flying units. I too would like furies to return. But failing that a unit of forsaken that are skirmishers and can be made scouts is a nice alternative.

[NatTreehouse]

Well you'll be seeing these guys sooner than a lot of people think

plastic chariot/warshrine
plastic forsaken
plastic Dragon Ogres
a Large plastic kit (that I'll leave as a surprise )
Finecrap Characters


At the moment WoC are due toward Q4 2012 (after VC, Empire and some random WFB models & waves).

I heard the same as this.
Except
Earlier, but my record on dates ain't all that. Between 40K book and box was my version.
Chosen not Forsaken

Plastic Dragon Ogres kit long been a high-ups dream - now being realised.

[Grimstonefire]

Much as I really love Nurgle in all his vile and disgusting forms, I will only buy back into WoC when they bring out individual units of plastic marked troops/knights.

I'm guessing this is certainly not on the cards for many years.

From the list Hastings put up it looks to me like things we've known have been WIP or finished for years. There were rumours of plastic dragon ogres at least 2 years ago I think (meaning they were sculpted more like 4+ years ago). The chariot/ warshrine I'd be surprised if that hadn't been worked on for several years.

With any luck they will follow this release up with a wave release of stuff they've been working on recently (say 1-2 years ago).

.

Not true. These DO are newly sculpted.

The rumours about DO I remember came from a poster with a less than stellar track record, meaning odds are it was made up.

Dual purpose kit then?
Fingers crossed....

[Morkash]

If it is "Chosen, NOT Forsaken" I'd rather interpret this as a single purpose kit?

But anyways, good to see more people are hearing the same! (not that I didn't believe hastings)

[Harry]

Well you'll be seeing these guys sooner than a lot of people think

So I thought I'd give you a heads up on what to expect and when to expect them.

This is my final rumour post as I'm hanging up my rumouring gloves/boots/other equipment. So please enjoy discussing WoC and the above kits.

This is like when Yoda dies in Star wars.

But you will be back as ghost Yoda in the next movie right?.

More powerful than we can possibly imagine.

You never told me there were special gloves and boots.

Hastings im so sorry you will stop rumors, i had heard that WoC was much much earlier, but thank you for everything.

I also have them a bit sooner.
In have:

July : 40K 6th
August : WoC
September : 40K starter set

[VenomBlood]

Yah, we all know this, GW won't do dual purpose kit for Chosen/Forsaken.
It's just NatTreehouse who gave us a hope about such possibility.
However my gut tells me that Warriors are supposed to be redone soon, because GW usually changes Warriors design/look every 5 years or so (after adding some extra metal bitz, mutation sprues). Just a pure speculation. But lets face it: current warriors are not 10 per box, you have to use metal bits for more weapon options, heh and they were released more than 5 years ago methinks.

GW decided to remove them from chaos marines in 40k yet rumors suggest the new legion codex is getting troop daemons back, I don't think its to much to hope for and even if they don't it doesn't change the fact Forsaken come across as one of those drunk ideas that should have been scrubbed and totally redone when sober in the morning

Thats Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda's the little green guy

July : 40K 6th
August : WoC

I need to hibernate till Aug then...

[_Chimaera]

Thanks for you input over the years Hastings. It's sad to see a credible rumour well dry up but I am sure you have your reasons. Good luck to you.

On another note. You hinted not so long back there may be some sort of Wolves coming in 40K? If you could add any meat to the bones on this rumour before you fully sign off it would be great.

All the best.

But before he goes....

August : WoC

Noooooooooo not after the summer vacation! A May or early June release would've been perfect.

[michaells]

august sweet that when my birthday is i know what im asking for

[Harry]

Thats Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda's the little green guy

I wouldn't do that you'll miss some nice stuff for fantasy
I know the more powerful than you can possibly imagine bit was Obi Wan but Yoda dies too ... then pitches up with Obi Wan and Lukes dad at the end of return of the Jedi when all the teddy bears are dancing around.

I love the notion behind forsaken .... just one or two gifts too many ... a couple of gifts short of spawn. Love it.

[Duc Montcalm]

I love that WoC (rumor) is gonna be due out at the Q4 of 2012! Mabye release date will be 12/21/12? Come on guys let em release at the end of times! I am sure Archaon will be present!

[Demgear]

Ya there would be so many possibilities conversion wise, but they would really need to fix the stats. T5 and the possibility for different gifts might work, but still keep the low armour save and points cost.

[Przemcio251]

I wonder if any one from GW who saw the book or wrote it (i bet they had it ready for print months ago...) is reading this and laughing his head off reading all the wishes, hopes and such

If GW takes my 3 WOC lores of magic i will organize a pitchfork and torches mob and invade their HQ

Well what good is the casper the friendly ghost routine anyways? I mean I bet Vader Anakin was pretty jared off when he found all all he could do was hang around fires with a bunch of carebears.

So by that you mean chaos spawn are also being revamped I assume that chaos gifts are either gone or just like big names now (taken from the magic item allowance).

Do you think us mono khorne players will be happy this time round?
