[manrogue]

Just spotted this on Dakka, new book due for the summer apparently. And plastic Warhound possibly!

Apocalypse Redux (apoc for 6th ed) but I am not certain if it is late June or early July.

I have been hearing rumours about a plastic Warhound but personally I wouldn't get my hopes up.

As always there's the rumor about a plastic Thunderhawk as well, perhaps with fliers being in 6th the rumor finally has merit, I however am taking lots of salt with this one.

*June/July is Apocalypse.
*GW has been looking at new ultra-large plastic kits timed to release with Apocalypse.
*hinted that one of the kits could be a plastic Thunderhawk. (was unsure)
*also models as in plural, so I think it's fair to say there's at least one other plastic superheavy due alongside this.

Apocalypse for 6th edition is this summer.
There are no super heavy flyers coming.


I am going to say that I think this closes the rumors on a plastic thunderhawk (because of the source), but that it leaves some exciting possibilities on a large plastic kit or two this summer. Plastic titans would be way too cool not to get one or two. June and July are going to be exciting.

This rumor set has a release date somewhere around June/July. It looks like its going to be a busy summer around these parts.


Please remember that these are rumors.

and another picture for the Necron guys-

That all looks great to me

Lovin the necron flyer!!

Lol at the Childs transformer robot tank... What where they smoking?

[manrogue]

Aparently it is a Lord of battle from the epic line, it did make me Lol.

I like the mega-lith as well.

Just waiting to see what the other models to be released are.......

[Gareth]

Yeah it's a Lord of Battle.

We have seen a Cannon of Khorne wanna be, all we need is the Cauldron of Blood, and Tower of Skulls, and the old epic set, I had back when I was 15, will be complete.

Rumours on the releases, personally find this really hard to believe(14 aprox large kits all released at once? No chance)-


We all know now that Apocalypse is coming in July, and the cover and a pic has been leaked and is now just everywhere. So what is it that is coming?


I have a little snippet that Forgeworld will also be updating its apoc book in the same month as Games Workshop and a little bit more.

Please remember that these are rumors, and salt is always required.

I am getting small bits of information regarding the Apocalypse Supplement release.

Apocalypse
Only the Imperial Guard and Orks are not getting an a new Apocalypse vehicle, but they could be getting new apoc aircraft. It seems so that all armies will have 1 apoc vehicle and 1 aircraft.

Forgeworld
We should be seeing a FW apoc book same month as GW apoc release covering all vehicles and aircraft from previous apoc books

More new rumours-


BramGaunt over at Warseer wrote:So, a birdy just chirped in and told me what to expect next month.

1st: There is a new rulebook, if anyone still questioned that. Complete overhaul. The scale of additional shenanigans will be the same as with a regular rulebook, as well as limited items. Probably a collectors- and a gamers edition aswell (allthough I am only guessing that!).

2nd: The kits we have seen so far cover all the miniatures there will be for now (Khorne "Skulldozer" and Necron "Monolith of Doom + 2D6"). However, there are three new pieces of terrain, which apperantly are of apocalyptic size. A different source told me of a 'commad citadel' behind which the Wraithknight could easily hide.

3rd: Releasedate is the 13th of July, with Preorders starting the 29th (with the new WD, as usual). This is GW's big release this year.

You've already seen the Chaos and Necron superheavies.
You'll also get some fortifications - giant gun/missile emplacements and the like. These are also designed to hook up with the Wall of Martyrs terrain.
As well as the Apocalypse rulebook, there's also a collector's edition and a gamer's edition.
