40K Rumors: A Busy Q3 2012

Hold onto your wallets boys and girls.  Its gonna be a wild next couple of months…

Here’s the latest word from the voices in the winds.

July:
6th Edition Hardback (duh)

August:
Flyer wave (three models, Tau, Eldar, Tyranid or Chaos)
Codex Chaos Space Marines – and an inital launch wave of miniatures

September:
40K Boxed Set (Dark Angels vs Chaos)

Q4:
Dark Angels
Hobbit
Holiday bundles

The confusion on that third flyer model is due to folks not knowing if “The Dragon” will be part of the earlier flyer wave, or part of the Chaos Space Marines launch wave.  I would expect August to be split into an early and late month dual release slots.  We should have official word from retailers on the early August releases any day now.

~This seems like a LOT of releases being crammed into the time available before The Hobbit hits.  More conversation in the Lounge here. Have at it.
