Their plan is to overhaul all of the races roughly before 2010. And yes they will be redoing the IG. No matter how "Up to date" it may seem (2003). BTW chaos is getting no "minor tweaks" they are reformatting a lot of it and they're coming out with two codexes for it, not unlike fantasy. However one of them will be straight daemons instead of beasts of chaos. There is proof of this, seeing as they have stopped production of the current daemon units and started production of plastic sets instead. (cheaper troops monetarily) they will also be getting many new daemons. (including heavy support daemons, don't know how that'll work but it's true) that's the scoop from the most official source i've seen unless one of you works for GW.:ninja:

Alot of the reformating is to try and make stuff work better with apocalypse as well. Transports are supposed to be getting cheaper in any reduxes and codices because they aren't being used enough and are seen as useless to most people (if they fixed the problems with tank armor then it would be alot better with the current point costs but meh.)

Chaos is next out in september
Apocalypse out in October
High elves for fantasy is november
December/January should be Orks. Last I heard they were trying to push Orks for a Christmas release.

Also, in Canada, expect major releases to happen around summer break/spring breaks and such. Most big releases (Warhammer Fantasy 7th Ed for example) used to be done in september, problem is all kids go back to school around that time so sales are minimised. Also expect alot of changes in the way staff work at your local GW as of well, Right now (in canada anyway).


And for the record, i know many redshirts (and black shirts) and they're paid to mislead/not talk about new releases. At least not until 3 months prior to the releases, even though blackshirts generally know about 6 months in advance (again, everything is always subject to change, it's how any gaming business works, look at video games and all the delays that happen there.) Bugs do occasionally happen and problems do arise which can change foreseen shipping dates and release dates (that's part of life, things happen/go wrong). Learn to deal with it, the idea of the hobby is to have fun after all, not to nitpick and badmouth the company that provides you with the models and games you love (even if they have a hefty price, but if you don't like it, don't buy it.)

anywho,

my 2 cents.

I don't know, it seems like all the armies are jumping in front of orks and dark eldar. I wouldn't be surprised. :cry:

The white dwarf article about blood angels will just be a supplement until the actual 'dex come out. I do agree, however, that GW needs to stop making new codices (like BT) and stop remaking older ones (Dark Angels, Chaos) andget down to the orks who need them so bad that it hurts.

Everyone knows orks and dark eldar need codex updates something awful (far more than chaos just as an example), but the fact of the matter is that there are a lot more people playing chaos and the various SM chapters, and as such they're going to get updates first, even if they don't seem to really need it. Between game balance factors and (the big one) the fact that theres a lot more money to be made updating chaos and SM first I find it laughable to think GW are going to give the orks or DE priority.

I still want a new necron codex sometime reasonably soon. :hmm:

I have to agree about the Chaos. Our local store just gave away their Chaos army to make room for the new one. Though I realy dont understand why Chaos would need a revamp when DE are the most out of date with the edition rules.

Because Chaos is one of its most popular armies, so people will be buying the models for a longer period of time.
