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.
