Ok I have been read the tarot cards and found this

Harry's 40k codex release order from Warseer
CSM
Dark Angels
Tau
Sisters
Eldar
SM

We had a large release of what appears to be a leaked schedule starting in June of 2013. There were a lot of models on that list, specifically Tau, Eldar, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and Orks. I am not going to list out what was on it, you can check either Faeit 212 or BoLS Lounge for the complete list. (if you have not seen it, I suggest that you do look into it.) Whether or not this was a true leak, is yet to be seen, and there are some concerns with the information as it currently stands.

Harry's release order though, looks very exciting, and does fill in that missing hole between Tau and Eldar that we were seeing. Sisters of Battle would be a very nice release next year.

That looks about right to me, High Elves and Skaven were last year so i wudnt have thought they would do HE again. Might pickup the Daemons one, as i like the idea of covering both systems with it. May get rid of my SM and Dark Eldar stuff and keep the CSM and have some daemon allies...

Tyranids Release!

Posted Image

Tyranid Warriors

Tyranid Warriors available in both HQ (Tyranid Prime)and Troops.

- HQ Warriors function as the Prime's retinue, and do not deploy separately.
- Prime + Retinue may deploy in a Mycetic Spore.

Troops Warriors are mostly unchanged.
Updated Biomorphs.
Adrenal Glands is much improved.
Warriors cheaper in points. (75pts base for unit).


Harpy-Eirnye

- Arm design is similar to the Forgeworld Harridan.
- Wings attach to the body via 2 sets of arm slots.
- Back 2 pairs are for the wings.
- First pair of arms is reserved for various weaponry/gribblies.

Psychic Details
Tyranid psykers generate psychic powers in a new way. They gain 1 warp charge from each synapse creature within 6" but each synapse creature only generates a single warp charge. Tyranid psykers additionally gain a single warp charge per mastery level. This rule mechanic depicts the ability of the Tyranid Hivemind to focus power to key psychic organisms via the synaptic network. Each psychic organism however does have a maximum amount of warp charges it may utilize in a single turn, to prevent abusive "machine gun use of powers".

Apparently units of multiple synapse creatures now have another useful purpose - psychic reservoir.

There is also contradictory chatter on whether or not the new Tyranid psychic powers will replace the rulebook powers entirely. Some say yes, some say no.

Psychic Powers table:
-Dominion (Primaris)
-Psychic Scream
-Warp Blast
-Catalyst
-Paroxysm
-The Horror
-Onslaught

Units Rumors
Various tongues are wagging that one of the new big bugs is the old EPIC chesnut, the Haruspex. Not only that, but the Haruspex is only one half of a combo kit and yet another EPIC big bug is buildable from the kit. ~PS, there's really not that many left... go looking.

Broodlord comes with fixed psychic power and a large number of biomorph options.

There is suddenly a distinct number of rumormongers talking about the removal of the Mycetic Spore and any other unit without a model in the codex (you do the math). Some chatter says the rumored Dedicated Transport big bug may replace it entirely as it never received a model in the first place.

Apparently GK are part of the Sanctus Reach releases and will be mentioned in White Dwarf's next issue. Whether that will coincide with a Codex release or not I'm not sure. They do need a new Codex especially as the new Psychic phase really affects them more than any other army.
