40k & FANTASY RUMORS: Mid 09 Scuttlebutt
Hi all,
I hope everyone enjoyed thier Thanksgiving weekend, now straight to the Warhammer rumors. We have previously reported on the roughout schedule for the early part of 2009, and more information has been arriving in the interim.
Spring 09
-IG Tidbits
We’ve heard from some whispers on the wind that if you want to get a good feel for the upcoming IG codex, go back and watch some of the opening battle scenes from Enemy at the Gates. The updated IG range is also said to have a noticable lack of metal. There is word of plastic command squads.
Summer 09
-Dark Elves 2nd Wave
This is currently said to be a small selection of expanded Characters/Lords , and the possibility of other models.
-Empire 3rd Wave
Said to include a plastic Steam Tank and plastic Greatswords, and conflicting reports of another kit. These are said to be a further step on the path of getting the metal minis out of the Empire range.
~These two releases (Dark Elves and Empire) may be tied together in some way focussed on the mid-year, but there is nothing solid yet.
-Skaven
There is talk of the chittering of teeth and the stench of matted fur on the move in the deep parts of the Warhammer world. There is conflicting talk placing this Army Book at the tail end of summer.
~Standard caveats apply folks. We have heard nothing past summer except for the standard jockeying between Space Wolves and Necrons that have been making the rounds for months now. More as we get it. Enjoy guys.
