RUMORS: WFB/40k Schedules
Selected tidbits courtesy of Warseer’s: Harry
We love to pass on on all the little tidbits we hear and here are some of the latest. We have recieved news that the GW 40k/WFB schedule is shaping up for Q1-Q2 2009 as follows:
JANUARY:
2nd wave Orks
Plastic Gretchin, Stormboys, Nobz, plastic Battlewagon.
FEBRUARY:
Lizardmen
Plastic Stegadon to be availiable as a rare, special and mount option. Up to nine said to fieldable in one list. New kroxigors.
MARCH:
Apocalypse
Stompa and one or more Baneblade variants (Stormlord and/or Shadowsword, possibly others).
APRIL-MAY:
Imperial Guard
Plastic Stormtroopers, Valkyrie, Russ variants, more.
2nd Wave Daemons
Plastic Daemon Prince, new Seekers, rest of the named Daemons, possibly generic daemons and a Battleforce
Q3-Q4:
Necrons
All the stuff reported here.
Dark Eldar
New range by Jes Goodwin, Codex by Phil Kelley. End of the year, possibly bumped even later to make sure the army is done correctly.
And More…
~There is great uncertainty as to the exact timing of these releases as we get into the Q3-Q4 timeframes, and the Apocalypse release slot is still full of uncertainty as to what the Baneblade variant(s) will be. While the 40k codex releases are thin between now and IG (reported to give plenty of time for the marine releases to sink in) the back half of 2009 is said to be stuffed to the gills with releases for both 40k and Fantasy. Standard caveats apply folks, have at it.
