There is some good and bad news today about the "Summer of Flyers". It seems that our beloved Voidraven might just be pushed back, although the Razorwing looks like it will be making it.
Other good news is that the long waited on Hydra will be reaching our store shelves. I have 6 currently, and I assume that now I will start seeing them in other peoples armies much more often. No more wasting time, lets hit the rumors and please never forget the salt regarding rumors.

The "summer of flyers" (again, temper this name, it's not much more than spearhead was) article in wd if it happens will be an apoc expansion...not basic game. To include formations, special strategies, etc. About what anyone would expect.
The specific plastics for the wave release passed QA. Yeah! And include the following
Ig hydra
De r-wing
Ork copta
Nid harpy
There may be a few other surprises. It is apoc after all.
However, no one seems to be certain if these items will be released together as a wave right now. There is a lot of back and forth as to how best to put them out...flyer related dump, or wait and do army based updates, meaning a ig wave, a de wave, etc. There is strong desire to complete the de models before the next codex release after GK. I don't think it's possible based on where some of the outstanding models are in the process...and what has to be done for that codex. Only so many people to do the work. You can't put 3 women together and get a baby in 3 months, right?
No craft world eldar models will be included here. And there is a reason for it, but I can't go into it yet. And no codex on immediate horizon, to keep people from getting excited...
Also, the de void flyer will not make a summer debut...its a big model...comparative ly, and there are other challenges facing it...but it is coming eventually, hopefully before fall.
My information comes direct this time, but the decisions about what and when to release things I am not privy to...wd will already be set in stone by now and so someone(s) already knows what is and isn't happening in this, just not I...
Cheers. Hopefully this is more exact information certain individuals want to see. But as always, subject to change.
