Expect it next July at the earliest. That's the big new game month, with WFB last summer and Storm of Magic this July.

Rumours i here is that they may go the tournament friendly root to try and capitalise on the american market and veer away from the fluff abit.

Yeah, I think that you might have just found the release date for 6th Edition.

There is some discussion over on DakkaDakka surrounding a claimed leak of some content pertaining to the 6th edition rules: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/pos...22519.page

I'll leave you to make your own judgements on the veracity.

Some of the evidence on there is very supportive of it being a "leaked" rule book, just begining to look through it at the moment and spent the last couple of days reading through all the posts on the forum at dakkadakka.
VERY tempted to have a playtest game, as it seems like a massive change to the dynamics of the game, makes it a lot more destructive and shooty than previous edition.
ANd when i say massive i mean 2nd to 3rd edition massive change to rules(for those old enough to remember!).

Had a read through this at the weekend and really hope it is a leak of the new rule book. It encourages a balanced army rather than the Spam lists you see with the various rule changes, making standard troop choices better.
Also makes the game start more tactical with the strategem system, much more fun and tactical then a roll off for it!
Its worth a read through at the least if your interested in the possible direction the game can go in. Seems a to well written to be fake, and if is, they should give the guy a job!
Edit - Just been on beastsofwar.com and they have a video guide of the rules that might be worth checking out! (i can't watch it at work, blocked )
