Why I Am Excited For 6th Edtion Warhammer 40k

The biggest reason that I am excited for the 6th edition of Warhammer 40k is that I am tired of fifth. The game has become stale to me. You pretty much know which army types are going to beat which other army types, and with the last few codexes there has been an ever increasing gap in power levels compared to some of the older codexes. It is time for a change. Whether this change ends up being one that I enjoy more than 5th is still up in the air. To me it looks like they have changed the spirit of the game. Random charge lengths, hull points, completely reworked vehicle movement and shooting, flyers, the list goes on and on. Will these things make the game more fun? I think we will know in about two to three months. The thing that I am most excited…

Rules For Warhammer 40k 6th Edition Are Starting To Pop Up

We are starting to get bits and pieces of the new rules for Warhammer 40k. 6th edition is looking like it is going to be a pretty sizable change – larger than the change from 4th ed to 5th ed for sure. Today I saw that pre-measuring was in. If this is the case it is certain that some type of random charge distance will be in – otherwise you could perfectly kite units around the board. It also looks like there is going to a more unified system of rules as far as saves go – close combat weapons are getting an AP value. This rule is a carry over from the orphan rule set from earlier in the year. It looks like flyer is going to be a type in the new book. The new Space Marine flyer says it can switch back and forth from fast…

Photos Of New Flyers From Next Months White Dwarf Are Out

Pictures from next months White Dwarf have been leaked and the flyers are in. We have pictures of the new Space Marine Storm Talon, the Ork Bommer and Dakkajet, and even a shot of the Necron Doom Scythe and Night Scythe. The Ork and Necron vehicles look spot on, but the Space Marine vehicle looks a bit off to me. Price on these models looks to be about $50USD.

I’ve been reading a lot of different sites lately picking up bits and pieces of rumor from places like Warseer and Chamber of the Everchosen. I tend to think that most of what I’m posting in this rumor list is pretty reliable, however as is always the case with these types of rumors I suggest you take it with the requisite grain of salt. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks rounding up what I considered to be the most reasonable of the rumors, and have sorted through, editing it to make it a bit more palatable. I have left out some very obviously ridiculous rumors, I’ve tried to avoid adding my own speculation and guesswork based on these rumors, tempting though it may be. For now, I just wanted to present an easy to read summary of the most popular (and likely) rumors I’ve found. If anything, I hope…

2012 Warhammer Fantasy and 40k Release Schedule Rumors

I am starting to see some rumors that tweak the release schedule for this years releases for Warhammer Fantasy and 40k. The previous rumors were that 6th edition was coming out in July. This hasn’t changed, but the next two 40k Codex releases have flip-flopped. I am hearing more and more that the Chaos Legions Codex will be out in may instead of Augst, and that the Dark Angels Codex that was rumored for May will be appearing in September/October. Here is the breakdown that I am seeing - March: Tervigon/Tyrannofex / Space Wolves April: Empire/ New Paints May: 40k Codex / Possible Necron Wave June: Lord of the Rings? July: 6th Edition Sept: Starter Set- Chaos vs Dark Angels Oct: 40k Codex Rest of Year – Hobbit/Lord of the Rings The items in the above that I have the most faith in are the new paints in April and…

Games Workshop Paint Range Update Speculation

Now that we have seen what is coming out in next months White Dwarf it looks like it is safe to say the new paint range isn’t going to make in March. From what I am seeing around the web it looks like retailers will be filled in on what is going on the end of March, the April White Dwarf will announce the paints, and we should see the paints on the shelf around the middle to last week of April. We still don’t have concrete news on what the bottle is going to look like, but it is looking more and more like it won’t be changing. I am also hearing the the line will be expanded out to about 150 colors. A few retailers are reporting that they have been told to make room for two more rack sections. One rumor that I have heard from a…

The rumors are true! We’ve got pictures of Thunder Wolves, Fenrisian Wolves, the Tervigon, a Tyrannofex, the Swarm Lord, and even a Harpy. The pictures from March’s White Dwarf have hit the web and it looks like an amazing (albeit far over-due) release.

New Models! – Vampire Counts, Daemons, Terrain, and Dark Eldar

This months White Dwarf is floating around out there and pictures are starting to pour in. Aside from the new Sisters of Battle codex there are a TON of new models in this issue. There are new models for Vampire Counts, Daemons, a new gothic terrain piece, and even some Dark Eldar models. August is going to be a really solid month for new model releases.

Here is the latest batch of rumors for Warhammer Fantasy Ogre Kingdoms - Phil Kelly is supposedly the author. New Plastic kits: Rhinox Riders (on regular Rhinoxen) (box of 3) Scraplauncher/Skewer-slinger (Similar to Warp-cannon/plague-claw in design) Great Mammox with three ogre crew and plastic tyrant option (Same base as Arachnarock. Imagine a cross between a musk ox and a Mammoth) Yhetees (More gorilla-like, and and no more 80′s hairstyle manes. Really dynamic for a plastic kit) Finecast: Jahred The Red on Rhinox Golgfag Maneater Redone Goldtooth, Skrag, maneaters (box of 3, female, ninja and pirate discontinued), Tyrant/bruiser, gorger. Rules: Bull Charge will work always, even though you’re less than 3 ogres and charge less than 6″. All ogres except butchers gain a basic 6+ save from their gut plates. Ogre Clubs negates parry save, and is a general rule for all weapons like Choppas are in OnG. All army restrictions…
