Oh no, one of the long time members is posting on the frontpage! Why would she do something like that? I've noticed that new releases tend to vanish really quickly or be ignored because people don't know where to look. So why not a general upcoming release and preview thread on the front page that we can update with the latest releases and news for everybody to see.

Included in these posts will be general Games Workshop releases, Black Library novel releases and Forge World previews along with anything else that is hobby related, so don't look too surprised if non-GW items are posted up as well! wink

[Sir Doober]

The 'slew of kits' contains at least the Chimera and Basilisk (Possibly a multi-kit, possibly not) for the IG, and probably a Deff Dred model for the Orks, just so you know. Also, may I ask where you got the info for new Tau coming out?  

[Lady Blodwynn]

The Chimera, Basilisk and Deff Dread have all been confirmed. I'm not posting them up until we've got actual visual confirmation from the GW site.

This is the Deff Dread preview for now:



As for the upcoming releases, we have a friend who talks to some very reliable sources from time to time. wink  

[Caleidah]

Just remember to keep this one on topic. Confirmed releases only. Rumors have a dedicated thread in the 40k subforum.

That said...

OhmygodohmygodohmygodohmyGODohmygodohmygod.

BEASTMEN!  

[Hoxtalicious]

Wow, first person I hear talking about Beastmen in a good way. I guess hell can freeze over. pirate

Anyway, the Minotaurs are hideous, the Razorgor looks like Pumbaa and the skirmishers are gone.

I mostly said it before hearing anything about the rules, but the new Minotaurs look better than the old ones. That is a victory in my book. The loss of them being skirmishing troops is frustrating, but hopefully they get a drop in cost to accommodate, or a bump in stats.

Sweet New Templars in the Future.

Games Workshop Newsletter

This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.

The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red.

 

[Lady Blodwynn]

I just read the email myself. I guess this means at the very least a boxed set of Blood Angel assault marines and a new Dreadnought with two close combat arms. surprised  

[Lady Blodwynn]

Big surprises have been highlighted.

INCOMING; BLOOD ANGELS

The Blood Angels are amongst the proudest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, locked in a constant battle against the enemies of Mankind and the Flaw that lies within their geneseed.

Heroic Space Marines of the First Founding, the Blood Angels have fought for more than ten thousand years in the name of the Emperor and their Primarch Sanguinius -their beatific countenance and unquestioning valour, however, belies a deadly trait that lies deep within the very soul of the Blood Angels Chapter, the legacy of their Primarch's horrific death at the hands of Horus the traitor. Despite this Flaw that haunts their ranks, the Blood Angels stoically fight on, determined to protect humanity and earn glory in battle against the aliens, heretics and traitors of the galaxy.

This April, the Blood Angels, an iconic Warhammer 40,000 army return with a brand-new Codex and a fantastic selection of new miniatures. With an almost legendary reputation for the speed and ferocity of their assaults, expect brutal Deep Strike attacks, super-charged Rhinos and a whole host of exciting new options. Now's the time to perfect your red painting techniques, ready your Tactical Squads and prepare for the release of the scions of Sanguinius.

For more information on the upcoming Blood Angels, make sure to keep an eye on the Games Workshop website and check out April's issue of White Dwarf.
