Autumn of Dark Elves!?
I almost can’t believe it, but all the rumormongers are saying the same thing about Dark Elves. You won’t believe this!
Now normally even among our GW rumorsphere, we get a certain amount of cross signals. You will usually have half of the folks saying look for A and half saying look for B. But when you have all of the folks hearing the same thing its time to pay attention.
The latest word reported to 40K Radio, Faeit, and BoLS are all independently saying that Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves is shaping up to be a big fancy 2-Month release window with all of those plastic kits listed here coming out. They will be the stars and main attraction at Gamesday UK.
This is almost unheard of.
We have a Warhammer Fantasy army reported to be taking up two months leading up to the holidays. Apparently Games Workshop is prepping for a giant “Dark Eldar” style update to the Dark Elves range and wants to give it some breathing room.
Dark Elves October
Advanced order/White Dwarf: Sat 28th Sept. (so the studio can talk about them at UK GD)
Ships Sat 5th Oct.
-most of the plastics already mentioned-Dark Elves November
Advanced order/White Dwarf: Sat 26th Oct.
Ships Sat 2nd Nov.
-even more plastic crack – including Shadowblade plastic clampack
Now everyone is still hearing that Tyranids are still the next 40K codex, so no change there, but these reports place them in January (December is holiday bundles and Hobbit this year), to kick off the year in the same slot Dark Angels were in 2013.
So hold on, and get ready because the Murderous Lords of Naggarond are headed your way with a boatload of new plastic kits.
All the details and full rumor roundup is here:
~Have at it.
