BoLS News/Rumor Roundup 9-6-2014
Forge World had a ton of new releases, and WFB 9th is all the rage. Here’s what you need to know to get you ready for next week!
Raven Guard Contemptor Dreadnought £33.00
The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought was once a mainstay of the armoured might of the Astartes Legions of old. Larger and stronger than standard pattern Dreadnoughts, the Contemptor’s systems featured many examples of techno-arcana steeped in the sacred mysteries of the Legio Cybernetica. Some chapters still boast these war relics amongst their ranks, and whenever the Contemptor takes to the field of battle, it is an echo of the power of ancient days.
Model designed by Trish Carden. Complete resin kit depicting Raven Guard Legion iconography. Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought arms shown in some images sold separately. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from Monday 15th September.

Dark Eldar Rumors:
via Steve the Warboss 8-27-2014
The Dark Eldar comes soon after the last Nagash Endtimes release in mid September.
– 3 Week Release Window
– No completely new Units or Characters
– Chars without Models are removed
– Separate Relics for the Wych cults & the Kabals
– Vect is a Lord of War
– Wracks are the only finecasts who get a replacement
– New warmachine for Vect

A reduced price Incubi box(which is drastic, it seems, becoming cheaper than Wracks are now).
Two items named “Dark Eldar: Covens” and “Dark Eldar: Wyches” for the same price as a 7th Ed Codex. Now I can’t say with much certainty what these are, but based on their price and title, I think they might be supplements.
In addition to that, I have seen the normal 7th Ed priced ‘Codex: Dark Eldar” and the “Codex: Dark Eldar Limited Edition” that is a bit cheaper than others.
Amid the greatest rumorhurricane we’ve seen in a while, the WFB 9th Rumors keep coming in.

Regarding rumors of 9th Edition:
Translated English:
Alongside this, in MB Maelström we added a few things:
in 16 days , I can assure you that there is something big fantasy for September 20th .
Some will say , new edition …. I say no. It will be linked to the ” End Times Anniversary- “
Some will say , big or cool boxes minuaturas characters and limited editions …. I say you can.
Some will say , “box to start warhammer (what a contradiction lol ) … with two or more opposing armies … I say very possible.
Some say it comes Bretonnia … I think something is fat but in 2015 .
Greetings and prepare the wallets (if you still have anything left).
Latest 9th Edition Rumors by Father Gabe 9-3-2014
Just got some news from several sources concerning the strong possibility of 9th edition Warhammer Fantasy.
1) Coming tomorrow to a GW near you will be a series of new posters for in store advertisement for something BIG as the corporate email stated.
a) Pre-Order for 9th Edition will be Sept 13th (with special editions – standard new edition merchandising)
b) October will receive the new box edition (if standard releases from past is an indicator) which may contain Bretonnians and Undead.
c) Bretonnians will have a new Army book, model release following that, possibly into November before the Christmas packs roll in.
d) intermingled among these releases will be probably some filler models (repackaged Crom/Valten/etc.), army bundles, etc.
4) Not of speculation, though it must be considered rumor, I (and a few chosen) have personally seen new artwork by John Blanche for Bretonnians. Does this mean it will be in the new book? No idea, but sometimes his stuff is used for the sculptors to pull concept to model.
Or we could be really blindsided by everything and it be 25 new paints (not very likely), Dark Eldar (possible) or something ridiculous like a mass Hobbit release. GW likes to have a strong second quarter launch that will help carry through 3rd quarter (end of February).
Folks, we haven’t seen a rumor environment like this in quite a while and there are reliable rumormongers saying completely contradictory things. Off the top of my head the following potential rumors have been put forth for the month ahead:
– Dark Eldar
– WFB 9th (or related tie-in products like starter sets)
– Space Hulk
– Bretonnia
– Unseen “special edition” sets of “top shelf” miniatures.
The most credible of these at this time are a big WFB 9th tie-in of some type (I know I’m shocked, but the reports from different sources keep coming in), or Dark Eldar. The thing no one is denying is that Nottingham has done a bang-up job of keeping something BIG under wraps with a target grand reveal date of September 20th. More as we get it.
That’s it for now!
