A place to report all the rumours you have heard on other forums or from GW shop staff, tournaments etc.

From time to time we will review the rumours and create a confirmed rumour thread and "cross out" the false rumours.

1.Planet Strike: 40K expansion these guys can explain it much better then I can warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188917

2.Planetary Empires:Basically might empires for 40K if this was used in combination with BFG Planet Strike and apocalypse could make for a very fun campaign.

Terrible that they really only update 40k. Fantasy is the better game by far. They need to do more with it.

There are rumors about a big WHFB summer campaign starting up next year. Along with the campain there will be a mini wave release of new cavalry models for most Armies, including an Airship for Dwarfs from the (also rumored) Fantasy FW sister company.

There is more information about these rumors on WarSeer and Dakka but that is the basic gist of it.

Personally I would love to see a big summer campaign! 2010, the year of WHFB!

Lots of Skaven stuff rumoured including Clan specific Lords, upgrades and a return of the Doomwheel.

The new issue of WD has this little tidbit:

Quote:
If you go down to the woods today you're sure for a big surprise... especially if it's one of the dark woods that cover the Old World. Not the traditional end to the rhyme, but it's what certain games developers have been singing recently. What does it mean? Find out in a few months' time.


Sounds like Beasts of Chaos or Wood Elves (or both?) are in the works for Fantasy.

From the Warseer rumor roundup:

From Avian-
Quote:
Gorgon
- back in 5th edition this was a human-sized monster with a nasty ranged attack, similar to a Banshee
- other view has it as a quadrupedal, bull-like creature that breathes fire


From Harry-
Quote:
I understand a distinction was made between the 'mountain beasts' (Shaggoths and Dragon Ogres) found in the Warriors of Chaos book and 'beasts of the dark wood' (for want of a better phrase) which will be included in the beasts book.

So, no Shaggoths and Dragon Ogres will appear in the beasts book but other new gribbly beasts instead.
...
The beast spawn are the new big gribblyls I mentioned early on.

"Next Month" on the back of this month's White Dwarf has a green Skaven icon, imagine we'll see the pre-orders going up soon.

I'm fairly certain that Beasts are next up, it's been mentioned by several people on different forums. Apparently after the very 1st mention (even tiny hint) of a new army, it tends to get released about 4-5 months later which make this hint suggest a release in Feb... maybe.

I think Beasts have great potential for a good makeover. The concept of ambushing unruly beastmen is a great one in my opinion.

From what I have read Beasts will be out in Feb, after a Jan release of Nids for 40k. Nids are suppose to get 4 new Nids beasties in the Codex. One of which is suppose to be the Trygon! There is also alot of chatter about plastic minotaurs for the Beastmen, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that yet.

A summary of the latest Skaven rumors from Warseer user Hitsugaya Toushiro:

Quote:
Asmodai on italian GW Tilea board posted a lot of cool 99% confirmed things (as in past for warriors of chaos nex codex) from GW official sources
http://www.forumgwtilea.it/forum/ind...ic=93452&st=40

Lord:
-Skrolk
-Ikit Claw
-Thanquol with Boneripper 1D6+2 warpstone tokens
-Throt
-Queek

Vermin Lord returns as Lord choice (no info about the summon spell thing)
lvl 4° wizard, WS 5+, good stats like a Giant but with high WS and fast as an horse (M7? 8?).
Rat Demon special rule (maybe it's the summon spell thing)

Warlord like in past with RatOgre mount, Giant Rat mount or WarLitter

Grey Seer with D3 tokens with Doom Beel as riding mount


Heroes:
-Snikch
-Tretch
-Assassin with poisoned attacks, ASF with I8, dodging skill (WS 4+), SPECIAL scout rule and one or two more rules.
-Warlock Engineer lvl 1/2° wizard and/or can be equipped with guns and musket with also "Gun Sight/Aim" add-on item....so you can use him like an Empire Sniper with Hochland rifle
about the Wizard aspect, the Warp Condenser or Accumulator (don't remember) is an Arcane item that at 5+ creates a power dice....also for Warp Lightning it adds +2 hits to the result (but 1 still hit the Warlock).
it seems that the Doomwheel isn't an available riding mount :| ... (hitsu note: strange...i always tought it was a riding mount for warlocks!)

-Chieftain
-Plague Priest with Giant Rat or Plague Fournace as riding mounts....Plague Fournace as doom bell must be pushed, cause impact hits and probably bonus for Pestilens units and probably Toughtness tests around

Core:
-Clan Rats
-Stormvermin no more 0-1, 50points magic banner and 15points for champion
Both with 4 available Weapon Teams.....Ratling, Warpfire Thrower, Poison Wind Mortar and Doom Flayer (melee blades machine with probable impact hits)
-Slaves
-Night Runners in ranks with special rules Slinking Advance (movement before start...like Ghouls with that bloodline power) and weapon team Warp Grinder (tunnel)

-Giant Rats same but you can add a Special Character (????)

-Swarms low points cost and seems that they can't be plague swarms no more

Special
-Monks the same, no poison attack
-Censer Bearers!!!!! with A2 in profile + 1 from the Fury!!!
-Jezzail same with champion at BS 4
-Poison Wind Globadiers as special choice 5-15 with available a special globe and the Poison Wind Mortar weapon team
-Gutter Runners no more tunnel but special scout rule, skirmishers and Warp Grinder as weapon team (and so they will tunnel again )
-Rattogre as now but Fury

Rare
-Hell Pit Abomination: 3d6 movement, Strenght Toughness and Wounds as a Giant , D6 impact hits + special attacks (probably similar to Giants), Large Target, Regeneration, Terror, Stubborn and 3 special rules:

"Too Horrible to Die" probably a resurrection at 4+
"Shambling Horror" (???? maybe about the special attacks like the Giant)
"Warpstone spikes" (???? i suppose it's something like shooting spikes like the Razordon Pack for Lizardmen)

-Doom Wheel
-Warp Lighting Cannon
-PlagueClaw Catapult


There is also this price list from Scryer in the Darkness:

Quote:
Clanrats: £20.00 / US$33.00 / 26,00€ / Oz$55.00
Stormvermin: £30.00 / US$49.50 / 39,00€ / Oz$83.00
