This week the most obvious news is that 7th edition Warhammer 40k is now up for pre-orders. If you haven't checked, the digital versions are quite a bit cheaper, (which is where I am going with this). However, there is more than just 7th edition releases and new rumors to check up on, so lets take a look at this week's Faeit's Tarot and take a look into what lies ahead.
Faeit's Tarot takes look at the news and rumors of the week, so that we can look ahead to predict what is coming in the weeks ahead.

Organized Play
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ****
There may be a supplement this fall dedicated to organized play. With 7th edition Foc really dedicated to the narrative style of play in the new rulebook, this new supplement will cater to pick up games and organize game play. In that regards, previous rumors of percentages and side boards are in as an alternate way to play the game.
The timeline for such a supplement would be this fall before November. Also coming are more regular FAQ's once the new rulebook is released, but with very little interest in Erratas where rules or information are changed. It is felt that once the new rulebook is out, that more effort for FAQs is needed.
Blood Angels
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ****
-Clam Pack Captain in a 2nd Edition Golden Armor Design, armed with Combi-Melter
-Box with all options for the Predator (Baal, Detructor and Annihilator, new Melta weapon in Turret option)

Blood Brothers have survived as members of the Death Company and turned back to normal Astartes, they are like Vanguard Veterans but more "BA-like" and with different weapon options.

Dark Eldar
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
the Haemonculi will be a big focus of the new book as the Wraiths were with the Eldar. There is a possibility of the models being a WD release initially. The Wrack kit doubles as a entirely new unit that focuses on chemical weapons.
The Bane have even more exaggerated proportions that looks like it can rip a Dreadnought to shreads bare handed, very cool.
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
The following new Haemonculi will be unleashed upon us all:1) "Bane" type unit. Bigger than a Grotesque but smaller than a Talos.May be a new character.2) New Plastic Wracks (5 per box, dual kit). Includes all weapon upgrades.3) New Plastic Grotesques (3 per box). Includes all weapon upgrades.4) Plastic Clampack Haemonculus.
