rumors brought to the community by warseer’s: harry

Greeting all,

Today’s juicy trove of gossip says that this is what 2008 will look like for 40k:

Latest 2008 Estimates:

  • April – GW Birthday releases ~I have no idea what this could entail
  • May – Daemons
  • July – 5th Edition rulebook
  • September – 5th Edition Box set
  • October – Space Marines

Hmmm, these seem broadly in sync with these earlier estimates, with the major change being the booting of Planetstrike for a new Space Marine codex, just in time for GDUK.

Previous 2008 Estimates:

  • Codex Orks
  • Codex Daemons
  • 5th Edition (order may be switched with Planetstrike)
  • Planetstrike
  • Possibly another codex (IG, Dark Eldar being the most commonly mentioned as candidates)

~I’m torn on this one guys. On the one hand I REALLY want to see Planetstrike and the other races done before we see more marines. On the other hand, as a semi-regular Tournament player, I can tell you that with every new codex release, the existing Space Marine codex just gets more and more overpowered by comparison. It has to get brought into line with the others sooner than later due to its heavy influence on the 40k community due to the number of SM players out there.
