Someone mentioned the mandrakes as the second kit in the nafka blog.

Mandrakes are beautiful models but probably sell very, very few units due to the fact that they're absolute crap in game terms. Really can't see GW going to the considerable expense of creating new plastic kits for models that don't sell.

They will most likely remove the pain token requirement for Baleblast or give them Altered Physique.

In the book series (Path of the XYZ) they are all happily firing away with their Baleblast and there isnt a Haemonculus in sight.

Guys rumors say that DE will be released near Halloween/November...heard something 'bout it?

I think it was one of the first rumors: that DE will be released on late fall

from Voice of the Chaos Gods 8-11-2014

my source has told me information about some plans by Games Workshop:

By Summer next year all 40k Softcover will be replaced. Until 40k will be focused. After that, the releases scaled back. The number of supplement releases will be constantly; no increases in 2015.
Translation of existing supplements.

The next CSM codex is in the "pre-production". Adam Troke was commissioned to find out how to represent the legions (cult too) in the new Codex.

In the second half of 2015, Fantasy will play the main role including a new Edition.

Warhammer Visions sells not well at all. Maybe the next incarnation of the WD.
Voice of the Chaos Gods adds: 8-12-2014

Dark Eldar will most probably come next. The four codices for replace the last softcovers are all complete. Theoretically, GW can publish them all in 2014.
Sororitas were written by phil kelly already in 2013.

Problems with the molds prevent the publication.

Necrons and Dark Eldar are getting for their codex publications only few new Models.

Both systems have only three regular rule writer. The writers for 40k are Robin Cruddace & Simon Grant. Fantasy has Phil Kelly & Jeremy Vetock. Jervis Johnson is in both games the senior writer.

I wouldn't mind if Grotesques got a three man box for the same price as a box of Ogryn.

Also wouldn't mind if Wracks got some sweet looking plastic models.

And I doubt Coven will get a supplement. It will most likely be Black Heart.

I assume they are just changing from Finecast. I dont know that the model will be that much different.

But even if it is, I own 8. Not buying more!

8 Grotesques right? I read this correct, right?

Yes

Isn't that like... 280 or 300 rolls of pennies?

It was $200. But then, my friend bought the entire $1500 army for me. So while expensive for someone, it wasn't for me. =)

I traded a 1/3 of my mtg collection for 2500+ pts of pure DE bliss, then promptly sold the remainder of my cards to feed  my plastic crack habit lol.

Closing this thread to avoid duplication during the new release. Gob.
