40K-WFB RUMORS: Q4-Q1 Schedule
Things are starting to gel as we head into November. Here’s the latest on the weeks ahead:
End Times: Chaos (3 weeks)
Week 1: BlightKings / Gutrot Spume
Week 2: Maggot Lords
Week 3: Glotkin / End Times:Chaos Book
Everyone is eagerly awaiting the “big unveiling” of the Glotkin kit, said to be the big “Nagash equivalent” of the End Times Chaos window.
40k: Blood Angels (1 week)
There is still some chatter out there regarding Necrons, but Blood Angels talk is in the majority. In any case this looks like a quick 1 week release slot stuffed into the schedule like Grey Knights was. So for the fans, whoever gets the spot will be coming first, but don’t look for too many miniatures to be released alongside it.
Chaos Part 2 (2 weeks)
Week 1: Unknown
Week 2: Unknown
This Chaos wave is not believed to be linked to the End Times series, so is expected to have dual use models for both WFB and 40K. Usual suspects listed in rumor chatter are the Greater Deamons, but there is talk of Nurgle getting much more love from the studio this time around than the other 3 powers. GUO chatter is higher than the others suspects.
This takes us into mid November with the usual:
– GW holiday bundles,
– Terrain special deals,
– and last (because there aren’t any more movies) The Hobbit releases.
End Times 3 (January 2015)
Book 3 featuring the Skaven and some “additional Chaos” picks up the trail and kicks off a very big eventful year for Warhammer Fantasy.
Necrons (Early-mid Q1)
The last of the hardcover 40K codices arrives. If the order was reversed, this could be Blood Angels. Look for this release to be longer with more kits released than the 40K Codex in late October.
Much more on 2015 in a bit…
~ So given the choice would you rather have a quick Blood Angels with a more full featured Necrons (with more new minis) later, or the other way around?
