HUGE 40k (& Hobbit) release list

[nagash42]

oo and look the warlock has a force staff instead of a witchblade hmmmm.

[WordBearer]

And yeah, I will agree with the folks that are saying the units that don't fit current armies are probably from an Allies expansion.

[daemonicemission]

TYRANIDS?
Cult Hybrid Upgrade Pack
Patriarch Dumas, The Veiled Fiend

I would be willing to bet those are for the new CSM codex; an upgrade for cultists and a cultist SC.

[Rogue Star]

Ain't buying it. GW wouldn't slip up like that and really, Genestealer Cults, Sisters of Battle, Demiurg, Tarrellians? Reads like every wish for 40K, granted.

[Bloodknight]

Cult Hybrids are usually Genestealer hybrids though. Couldn't think of what a Chaos cultist would be a hybrid of.

[-DE-]

I would be willing to bet those are for the new CSM codex; an upgrade for cultists and a cultist SC.

Could be, although I doubt they'd copy their own unique unit names from the Genestealer Cult army list. Cult Hybrids and Patriarchs are existing unit names, I think if this was for Chaos Cultists, the names wouldn't be exactly the same as GC names. Could be a WD extra unit entry or expansion.

[Formerly Wu]

I would be willing to bet those are for the new CSM codex; an upgrade for cultists and a cultist SC.

"Hybrid" cultists and patriarchs are characteristic of Genestealer cults, not Chaos.

This is... wow. The skeptical part of me is raising an eyebrow, since some of this seems a bit too on-the-nose re: previous rumors and fan wishlisting/speculation. But where there is new stuff, it seems to match GW style, and fill the gap between what's needed and what's new.

I don't know. On balance I'm getting a pancake edition vibe from this list. Comprehensive, stylistically accurate, and attractive to fans, but still chaff.

[nosebiter]

Reading some of these ork stuff, it sounds like we are getting an even more whacky ork codex.

Tellyporta nobz
Mega tellyporta
Boarsquigs
Painboy cyborks
Grot nurses

[stonegiant]

If, if this is true what are we going to talk about for the next year?

[BigBarryJazz]

Where are all the fantasy releases? Why would they list just hobbit and 40k stuff together?

[-DE-]

Say what you will, but the rumor drought made me apathetic towards the game, but if this list is accurate, I'm pumped! They might actually pull me back with SoB and Templars! I'm saving cash for these effective now!

[silverstu]

That's pretty amazing- if that is the release list for next year- brilliant stuff GW! Looks really exciting- I'm blown away that eldar release especially.

[Eldorad]

Amazing list and a great find. Super exciting!

[MajorWesJanson]

Welp, this looks like I will be saving $1000-2000 for next year if this is true. Some really cool things on the list. Commentary on various models follows. I hope this is true. Looking at the models, it looks like models for 4 major releases (Codex: Sisters of Battle, Codex: SM, Codex: Eldar, and Codex: Orks) with an expansion (Allied forces) and some waves thrown in: Black Templars (or a book for them if some of the SM models come out alongside BT), Tau, Daemons, IG.

If it is a fake, it is extremely well done, self consistent, and does fit with both GW's behavior for new kits, as well as going along with some of the other longer term rumors. To paraphrase Leia, "The more GW tightens their grasp, the more information slips through their fingers."

I'm guessing heavy dreadnought

200465411540206 Space Marine Bike Squadron / Crusader Bike Squadron PL a15 Len_A 02 cc
Shooty/combat bikes? Hope they do not look too far different from existing ones, I have 3 squads of current bikes.

BT specific scouts

200464511440201 Space Marine Techmarine with Artificer Squad PL a14 Len_A 02 cc
New Techmarine squad nice. Artificer squad like a command squad for tech marines now?

201281911240205 Ork Wartrakk Skorcha / Flakk Trakk PL a12 Len_A 02 cc
Great idea to add the flakk trakk. I was thinking a trukk upgrade, but a wartrakk upgrade is brilliant.

201279011540202 Ork Deff Koptas PL a15 Len_A 02 cc
Makes sense with the starter going away.

201286730140200 Wazzdakka Gutsmek RE c01 Len_A 02 cc

Blah, resin.

202321411411107 Imperial Guard Storm Troopers / Iron Cloak Veterans PL a14 Len_B 11 cc
Iron Cloak is probably a fancy name for carapace armor vets

202342311811101 Imperial Guard Hydra PL a18 Len_B 11 cc
Bout time. Surprised it is not a combi kit, but I guess fliers will make it popular enough to run normally

271074511840390 Bloodthirster PL a18 Len_A 03 186080111840398
Hope it looks more like the FW one or the balrog than the ugly current GW thirster.

201283811440204 Ork Flash Gitz / Tellyporta Nobz PL a14 Len_A 02 cc
Finally a kit for these. Will the Teleporta nobz have the shunt rule from GKs?

201279911440206 Ork Meganobz / Painboy Cyborks PL a14 Len_A 02 cc
Nice idea to combine these kits

201284430940212 Ork Squiggotaur RE b09 Len_A 02 mf

Pulsa Rokkets coming back? Yay!

Recut/redesigned!

200465512010202 Space Marine Land Raider Medusa PL a20 Len_B 02 cc
Maybe a variant of the Ares?

[DarthSte]

The whole thing just screams of a wish list. It is far to big a list, with far too many new things not enough new versions of current models. I don't believe it for a second. (Would totally love to be wrong though!)

[Caiphas Cain]

What had interested me is now gone.

If someone with the hobbit list could post that in the LoTR section, I'd be very appreciative.

(It's a chance to increase your post count!!1!)

[Gertjan]

Could be, although I doubt they'd copy their own unique unit names from the Genestealer Cult army list. Cult Hybrids and Patriarchs are existing unit names, I think if this was for Chaos Cultists, the names wouldn't be exactly the same as GC names. Could be a WD extra unit entry or expansion.

Bah, it would not be genestealer cult kits, I never have that kind of luck . But It could be either I guess, hybrid could maybe also point to the type of kit, I.e. just an upgrade pack you need with a guard kit or something along those lines. Though, in all honesty, I hope it'll be genestealer cult, maybe even a armylist in the style we had in the old black codex book *wanders of looking how many cultists he can find still*

All in all it seems it would be a good year if even half of it is true. Í hope it will be, but I'm prepared to be disappointed...

[Brother Dimetrius]

amazing. someone will be in a huge amount of trouble for this.
...
great find! i do feel for the poor chap that will lose his job over this tho

If we are let to believe what Vovin posted in the Dark Angels thread (blog comment iirc), someone already did...

Incidentally there was a lay off at GW HQ this week because of a leak. Rumour has it that is a leak of monstrous proportions. Speculation: maybe GW is trying to find their whistleblowers with a barrage of contradicting "news".

This is either legit, a troll with far too much free time or the most intricate wishlisting I have ever seen.

I'm going to invoke the GW Uncertainty Principle. Just because this list got out, if it's real, we might see drastic changes in the GW release schedule. They are not going to be happy about it.

[MajorWesJanson]

The whole thing just screams of a wish list. It is far to big a list, with far too many new things not enough new versions of current models. I don't believe it for a second. (Would totally love to be wrong though!)

Quite a few new versions of existing models to me:
SM Tac Squad
SM bikes
SM Epistolary Librarian
Ork Big Gunz
Ork Warp'ead
Ork Buggies
Ork Wartrakks
Ork Meganobz
Plastic Greater Daemons
IG Stormtroopers/Vets
Eldar Jetbikes
Eldar Swooping Hawks
Eldar Avatar of Khaine
Eldar Warp Spiders
Eldar Wraithguard
Bt Sword Brethren

All new versions of existing kits.

[Fluxeor]

So Ultramarines might finally be a getting a model for thier 1st Co Captain (Good, but it really wasn't needed though looks like he might feature in the next SM codex if he gets a model) and ... Another model for thier Chapter Standard Bearer ... Wasn't the model in Calgar's Honour Guard good enough to represent Helveticus (bar the fact the metal one was horribly unbalanced and the finecast repackage is... finecast).
