Rumors This Week
Games Workshop Release Schedule ****
This release schedule was given a little more detail this week, and extended so that we could see what may be ahead for us in regards to releases. A lot of this lines up with what we have been hearing, and that would place the next couple releases with Orks and then Bretonnia.

apparently Bretonnians are in July and will be getting a new book along
with...
Plastic duel kit questing/grail knights
Plastic knights of the realm/questing knights on foot. Have maces or swords
plus shields.
special rule for knights armed with maces confers a +1S
