Battlefleet Gothic Returns! |
10-6-02 |
|||
| Battlefleet Gothic's re-release this year will see the game pumped up quickly with a lot of new releases. As well as the 2002 Annual, GW USA will be selling a small booklet containing new scenarios, painting and modeling tips, ideas on incorporating BFG and 40K, and more. New ships for the Imperial, Ork, and Chaos fleets are being worked on, including a new Imperial battleship, a Chaos daemonic possession cruiser add-on, and the Ork 'Ammer. Also lined up is the Endeavor light cruiser for the Imperium. Many of these ships, including the Endeavor, 'Ammer, and Vengeance, come from the Third War for Armageddon setting, which will be featured in BFG Magazine the next few issues. Tau are slowly being made, but the new Tyranid and Dark Eldar fleets are ready to sell. Space stations and orbital bombardment platforms for multiple races are being worked on as well. | |||||

E40K |
Epic 40K |
10-6-02 |
|||
| As work progresses on the new Epic, new releases are being planned and released still. The Eldar Vampires are being redesigned to match the new Forge World kits, as are the Nightwing and Phoenix bomber. New Stormswords and Stormblades will be released, as the super-heavy tanks move gradually toward being resin. Multi-part Space Marines are being done that will be limited in availability, and should form the basis for future Marine character models. The Tau are getting a few more additions to their list, including the Skyray. The metal infantry strips have been started, and are similar to Warmaster's. The production speed (and the impending re-release of not only BFG, but Necromunda) has pushed backed E40K: Armageddon's release to winter 2003. | |||||

Warmaster |
10-6-02 |
|||
| Most races in Warmaster will be seeing variant units released, such as the Empire "Elite" units, Forest Goblins, etc., that will count as units already listed in the army lists. A siege supplement, as well as a naval warfare game/supplement, are being worked on. New armies include Vampire Counts, soon to be released, and Skaven, which are still in the earlier stages of production. | |||||

10-6-02 |

| Inquisitor's getting a lot of assorted new stuff. Space Marine, both Imperial and Chaos, helmet packs are being released for modifying the Artemis model. A Genestealer is also due for release later this year. A female daemon hunter and a Pariah are also coming out soon, as well as an unbound Daemonhost. Lots of Chaos stuff is being worked on and planned, as Chaos is the Imperium's main enemy. Also coming are some "campaign packs", which will include background and ideas for running campaigns set in different parts of the galaxy. | |||||

Necromunda Redux |
10-6-02 |

| Necromunda Redux is being released next summer, with new metal gangers for both Orlocks and Goliaths. The book will be hardcover and contain both of the original books. The hive terrain will be sold in a separate terrain pack. All gangs are on the line to have their current models replaced with newer models that have their weapons separate from the models, allowing gamers to customize their gangers more easily. | |||||

Forge World |
10-6-02 |
|||
| Forge World has a lot of new kits and add-ons on the way for Warhammer 40K. A Kroot beast is joining the Tau ranks, along with a new Barracuda and Tigershark variant, as well as more Kroot beasts. The Imperial Guard will see two new skimmers (like transport and attack helicopters), more Chimera variants, a new Leman Russ hull, Mole, Termite, Thunderbolt, and more. Eldar will be getting the Firestorm finally, while Dark Eldar are going to be getting a heavy skimmer. Chaos sees the completion of the Rhino and Land Raider door sets, some vehicle upgrades, Dreadnought variations, large Chaos Spawn, and even a flyer and some Daemon Engines. Orks will get a smaller Squiggoth, kits for more looted vehicles (similar to the Looted Rhino kit), and a Flak Wagon. Sisters are getting a SOB-specific Rhino, and have already seen the release of FW kits for the Repressor, Exorcist, and Immolator. Space Marines will have chapter-specific Dreadnought armour, Predator ablative armour, and variants of the Whirlwind, Razorback, and Thunderhawk (to go with the two Thunderhawks already done...). A pre-heresy Warhound, Chaos Warhound, and Eldar Revenant Titan are lined up for the next year and a half. And after the release of Imperial Armour Update, FW will release a massive book featuring all kinds of information on the vehicles, including fluff, technical drawings, cutaways, etc. | |||||

| Warhammer Online is set for release in Spring 2004, and is going to look very good by the time it's released. With a sooner release date, Fire Warrior is being released some time next year for both the PC and Playstation 2. It will be a first-person shooter placing you in the role of a Tau Fire Warrior, and even includes a trip on an Imperial planet and through an Imperial warship. | |||||

These models include Skeletons (box of 20), Skeleton Cavalry (box of 8), Khemri Chariots (box of 3), Ashutabi, new Mummies, Carrion, Screaming Skull Catapult, Casket of Souls, Bone Giant, and swarms.

Lizardmen |
10-6-02 |
|||
| The Lizardmen are already underway, with Brian Nelson sculpting them. Already on display at GDUK were pieces from the multi-part Saurus kit, and a WIP Slann model, which obviously was far from completion. The book is scheduled for release shortly after Khemri, and will contain lists for "normal" Lizardmen armies from Lustria, and Southlands Lizardmen armies, which will be mostly Skinks. | |||||

Other Warhammer Works |
10-6-02 |
|||
| The next books after the Khemri and Lizardmen are Wood Elves and Beasts of Chaos. The Wood Elves are already being worked on, and have a Warhawk-riding hero that was on display at GDUK. Bretonnians are also lined up for a release in the next three books, and may see a release before one of the preceding army books, depending on how fast the work is done. | |||||

Eye of Terror |
10-6-02 |
|||
| Codex: Eye of Terror is more interesting, now that the four army lists included have been announced. They will be an Ulthwe anti-Chaos army, a Lost Company of Space Wolves, the Cadian Imperial Guard, and hordes of Chaos (cultists, renegades, beastmen, etc.). The Cadians will have some of the abilities that are included in the re-write of the Imperial Guard codex, which in the IG codex will allow you to tailor your troops. | |||||

Daemon Hunters |
10-6-02 |
|||
| The Daemon Hunters models are coming along very well, and have mostly been painted up. New Grey Knights in Terminator and power armour are ready, as are many new Inquisitors, Death Cult assassins, Zealots, familiars, servo-skulls, Daemonhosts, and all kinds of other aid for the Inquisitors. The Grey Knights will also be able to requisition aid from other Imperial forces, and have a special group of Storm Troopers they can call on. The rumors circulating about the Daemon Hunters' abilities should widely be ignored until the book's release, as there are two many abilities being heaped onto the Daemon Hunters for them all to be real. | |||||

40K/WHFB |
New Chaos for 40K and WHFB |
10-9-01 |
|||
| Chaos will be getting a lot of new stuff in both
Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. For 40K, they'll be receiving a plastic Chaos Marine boxed set, which will be used as a base for upcoming legion-based squad boxes (including Emperor's Children and Iron Warriors, who will be in Index Astartes I). The Chaos codex will be revised to "fix" the list, with some alterations as well as adding in the new rules for Cultists, Cult Terminators, and Daemon Princes. In WHFB, there will be two books released in the next year or two, including Warhammer Armies: Chaos and Realm of Chaos. Warhammer Armies: Chaos will include rules for Chaos Warrior armies, and Realm of Chaos will include rules for Daemon armies and fighting in the Realm of Chaos. To go with these books, there will be new plastic Chaos Knights, plastic Marauders and mounted Marauders, new Plaguebearers, and new heads for the Bloodthirster, Lord of Change, and Keeper of Secrets. |

Necrons |
10-9-01 |
|||
The Necrons will be seeing a lot of new and
upgraded models with the release of their codex (which will be done in the 64-page
background-heavy format that the Tau codex used), and will be released around April/May
2002. The C'tan will also be in the codex, but only a few of them, though they'll be
featured more in the future. The background includes some information on the
Necron/C'tan relationship. Also on the way are some new ship for Battlefleet Gothic,
such as the new Shroud light cruiser, and an Epic 40,000 army that won't be around for
another year and a half or so. A basic run-down of the new 40K models for Necrons
follows:
The new Lords, Warriors, and Immortals all use a plastic green "tube" that you'll insert in their gauss weapons after painting the model. |

Codex Battlezone: Dark Sidews |
10-9-01 |

| The next Codex Battlezone book, using the same format as the current Cityfight book, will include rules for fighting in space, including boarding actions against ships and stations, as well as rules for no atmosphere and zero-gravity. | |||||
40K |
Index Xenos |
10-9-01 |
|||
| Index Xenos will be showing up in White Dwarf and in a series of books just like Index Astartes. Not only will it cover the main races (starting already with the Tau), but it will also cover new races, some of the "minor" races in the 40K universe. | |||||
40K |
Codex Inquisition/Agents of the Imperium |
10-9-01 |
|||
| One of the codices planned for the future for 40K will include Inquisition-based armies, as well as possible separate armies for Adeptus Arbites and possibly Sister of Battle, though it's more likely the SOBs will be left to the current Chapter Approved army list. Included in the codex are Grey Knights, Arbites, Conscripts, and Deathwatch, with other units. It will also herald the release of new models for the Arbites and Grey Knights, including the possibility of finally seeing Grey Knights in power armour. | |||||
40K |
Eldar Revision and New Models |
10-9-01 |
|||
| The Eldar codex will be getting a revision in the near future, though it won't be a great change. Also, they'll be receiving a new Farseer or Warlock model with a Witchblade, as well as a plastic Wave Serpent kit. Exodites and Harlequins will be appearing in the future as well, the only reason for their tardiness being that Jes Goodwin, the preferred sculptor for these two armies, is currently busy with other projects. | |||||
40K |
Index Astartes I |
10-9-01 |
|||
Index Astartes I will include extra rules and
background for the Emperor's Children, Dark Angels, White Scars, and Iron Warriors, as
well as all of the extra Space Marine background articles, such as the "Making of a
Space Marine". Three more Index Astartes books will be released annually,
covering the First Founding chapters and legions. Each book will be released with
new miniatures for the chapters included. The following miniatures will be released
alongside Index Astartes I:
Dark Angels will also be getting a major revision in Chapter Approved. |

Imperial Guard |
10-9-01 |

| Coming up for the Imperial Guard are new regimental boxes, but not very soon. Within the next year, there will be a command squad and basic infantry squad box for the Tanith I, aka Gaunt's Ghosts. Coming in another two years or so will be the much-talked about plastic Cadians. | |||||

Skaven |
10-9-01 |
|||
| The Skaven army book will be coming out once the High Elves are done. The army book will include many new rules. In terms of models, the Skaven will be receiving new models in the form of the Ratling Cannon and Warp Lightning Cannon. Also, there will be new models for Rat Ogres, Warp Fire Throwers, Giant Rats, the Screaming Bell, Jezzails, Rat Swarms, Engineers, Pack Masters, and Assassins - basically the entire line! | |||||
WHFB |
High Elves |
10-9-01 |
|||
| The High Elves are the next army being released for Warhammer, with a totally new set of models. The most stunning new model will be a new Tyrion. Plastics will be done for Spearmen, Archers, Silver Helms, and Sea Guard. The other models are very clean looking, and similar to Dark Elves while being very different, as shown by the Repeater Bolt Thrower. Maiden Guard will be getting no rules in the army book, but will be given optional rules on the Games Workshop website. | |||||
WHFB |
War of the Beard |
10-9-01 |
|||
| White Dwarf will be running articles covering the infamous War of the Beard. Not only will their be background articles, but there will also be complete army lists for the period, which will include powerful mages and dwarven runes, Dragon Princes riding small dragons, and other powerful items and units. This will be offset by the fact that the two army lists can only be used against each other. | |||||

Wood Elves |

The First Founding articles will be published in an upcoming supplement titled Index Astartes: First Founding, with further Index Astartes volumes coming when IA picks up again in WD. While Index Astartes is on break, Index Xenos will be taking its place, with articles covering the background of the alien races in the 40K universe. These articles will also be making an appearance in an upcoming volume title Index Xenos (of course). | |||||

Future Codices |
7-8-01 |
|||
| As you've heard by now, Codex Tau is the next codex being released for 40K. It will be larger than the current cdices, at 64 pages. After the Tau will come Codex Necrons and possibly Codex Sisters of Battle (also titled Codex Apocalypse and Codex Wars of Faith in some rumours). The Harlequins will be getting an update in the next Citadel Journal (44), and will make it onto the GW site, but it is unknown when they will be done as an actual codex, if ever. The same uncertanty applies to the Exodites, Adeptus Mechanicus, and Genestealer Cults, as well as the upcoming Adeptus Arbites. However, the current (or upcoming) versions will be considered official. | |||||
40K |
Updated Codices |
7-8-01 |
|||
| According to the designers, 40K will be received updated codices in the semi-near futures, as soon as all of the 'major' codices are finished. First among these will be the Space MArines, Chaos Space Marines, and Dark Eldar. These updates will fix some wording, update rules to match the latest interpretations and changes, and update or add army selections (such as the new rules for Chaos Daemon Princes, Cultists, and Cult Terminators). The mini-dexes will be redone as well, eliminating the need for a 'parent' codex. The main codices will all be increased to 64 pages in size, with th e'mini-dexes' becoming 48 pages. | |||||
40K |
Sisters of Battle |
7-8-01 |
|||
| While the Sistes of Battle have recently received an update to thier army list in the upcoming Codex Chapter Approved, that is all they'll be getting in the near future. The Sisters have been put on the back burner "indefinitely", due to a lack of ideas for their future development. Games Workshop's designers are concerned about the appearance the Sisters have as weak female Space Marines, and so they will be doing all they can to change this image. For now, the CA army list should help, as first reports from gamers using it indicate that the list is pretty good, with a small weakness in HTH fighting. | |||||
40K |
Plastic Cadians |
7-8-01 |
|||
| The official word has come down that there will be plastic Cadians made for the Imperial Guard. However, they will not be produced for another year or two, so don't hold your breath waiting for them. This comes as a surprise to some people, who had believed they will never be done due to a comment made by Gavin Thorpe in response to queries about the Cadians. | |||||

New Rhino |
7-8-01 |
|||
| The new version of the Rhino is being designed already. The plan is to make the Rhino larger, bringing it more in line with the Land Raider. The Rhino and Land Raider kits will be somewhat interchangable, with hatches and more being usable on both. No word on how this will affect the price of the Rhino or its variants. | |||||

Rick Priestley is very keen to expand the ship rules in Warmaster into a fully fledged set
