6th Ed Rumour Round Up

[fatolaf]

From various sources collated by Warseer...

This is the rumour roundup of all the things concerning the 6th edition starter set.

The new edition comes this summer. Thanks to BoK we have some rumours of the supposed schedule of that time:

April-May: Dark Angels/Fallen
June-Aug: 6th Ed
Oct-Nov: Chaos Space Marines

The white dwarf spines appear to corroborate this:

Take that how you will.
75hastings69 confirms most of this:

This leaves us with the following:

    6th edition coming June/July
    the starter box coming shortly afterwards
    Dark Angels being one of the forces featured in the box
    Chaos being the other force, including a new plastic Dread, as well as stuff apart from strictly CSM

Dark Angels vs CSM in the main box, sounds very interesting...

CSM vs DA - a marines and marines box set may not be that great for diversity but we shall see.

Looking forward to CSM update so I can finally finish my Thousand Sons army.

Yeah i agree with the lack of diversity, but Id guess they're aiming for chaos legions to be the game winner of next edition, so they couldn't not be in there, and well....speesh mareens!!!!

Can't wait for the legions book though. It has to be good!

GW - Please don't make Alpha Legion really cool and really fun to play... Just-don't-do-it-DAMN YOU!!

Heh. I just decided to take the plunge and sell all my marines. Approx 5,000 pts worth of Dark Angels ...

I'm really frigging hoping that this just means there'll be more interest, rather than that nobody will want the 'old' models over the 'new' (almost identical) models. 

[Tom Hale]

I've for very mixed feelings, just got my deathwing and if they disappear I'm going to be so pissed. However as I have DA and my brother has chaos it's practically the best starting box ever for me!

[Meals]

Deathwing won't disappear... them and ravenwing are the only thing that differentiates DA from normal space marines.

That and crying a lot whilst listening to Linkin Park.
