Heading into the weekend we take a look at what happened throughout the week.
Games Workshop releases have moved to a weekly release schedule, and the differences are still be discovered as we enter our first month with the release of Dwarves for Warhammer Fantasy. Not only that, but now we have both new releases for Games Workshop's new weekly and monthly magazines.
White Dwarf and Warhammer Visions
There were a lot of leaks this week showing off the new Dwarves, which truly do look fantastic. The leaks of course came right of the new White Dwarf weekly. Warhammer Visions is also being released as we speak, and an overview of the two magazines can be found here

Release Schedules
The first week of February is figured out, and if you missed it, they are listed at this link. http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/01/february-releases-revealed.html
As for the rest of February, we have a missing Dwarven Army book along with some missing models that are giving us an idea that we will see more dwarves released later this month. A new weekly release schedule has us all guessing right now for the most part.
Here is a look at releases for later this year

Orks
Orks are being declared a June release by 40k radio, and that works for me. This would set up orks well for a box set release shortly there after. As far as rules go, we are still a ways out, but there were a few minor tweaks that were mentioned during the week.

Space Marine Chapter Sprues
This is one of the more interesting rumors floated this week, as it suggests box sets for each chapter. In fact it only mentions sprues, but apparently with enough symbols, shoulder pads, etc to really make a very cool set release for marine chapters. The best part is, is that it sounds like this would turn into chaos marine legions as well.
the details can be found here.
