Today we have seen a lot of information coming in showing Space Hulk to be on the cover of the next White Dwarf, and with that a new limited edition game set. The rest of the week has been quite a bit of Dark Eldar, with an Eldar Craftworld and Paints thrown in.

The Latest Rumors and News
Dark Eldar
via Father Gabe on Faeit 212 ****
1) I can confirm that in the system there is a book called Artifex: Dark Eldar $49.50....additionally there are 2 other books called Artifex: Tyranids and Artifex: Space Wolves both at $49.50.
2) Still in system is a box of Incubi with a different product code under $30.00 (want to say $29.50), DE VR Bomber is not under that heading anymore, whether that means it was scrapped or it is under a new code I do not know.
3) Alien Invasion in WD is true.
4) GW corporate email mentioned poster coming this week, not today...that was my bad. Additionally, next week an in store activity centering around painting in conjunction with the WD is encouraged...something concerning the Crux of the matter. Crux as in terminator Crux?

I saw two new interesting things. The Dark Eldar Archon and Urien Rakarth seem to be getting a price reduction. Not much, but some. If I had to guess, I'd say that it was a plastic transition. Also, there is another entry titled, "Artifex: Dark Eldar." I don't know what that is, but it's listed as the same price as a 7th ed Codex.
Additionally, I looked into BA and Necrons. I didn't see anything new, but I did see that their Codex's prices are increased to 7th ed levels, leading me to believe that they are on their way.
However, based on my previous information on the possible DE supplements, "Dark Eldar: Wyches" and "Dark Eldar: Covens" I would assume that Dark Eldar are next up. That is simply a deduction of mine with no hard evidence, so take it how you wish.

I have seen the Voidraven bomber in the list of products on a GW Store computer. Its 81 bucks, I make a bet on it.

Dark Eldar are next, 3-week releases with:
-No Bomber in the Codex
-New Female Archon Model (maybe Malys)
-New Drazhar model
-New Wracks
-Vect with big Vehicle (no Chariot)
Uthew Strikeforce Supplement
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
An Ulthwé Strikeforce supplement for Codex Eldar is on the horizon with new plastic Warlocks. GW realizes that Eldar players can and do field many Warlocks as part of the HQ Council, so they are giving this the dedicated plastic multi-part infantry kit treatment rather than offering only one or two single plastic character clam-pack models (which would put a limit on posing options, etc.)
As you know the current Warlock models are very dated, a few of them being Jes Goodwin's "evergreen" sculpts which have stood the test of time since the early 90's. Jes has wanted these classic models to be redone for a long time. The Ulthwé supplement will be the perfect opportunity to release the new kit (which of course will be usable by all Eldar warhosts, not just Ulthwé).
The supplement itself is largely based on Phil Kelly's brilliant Ulthwé Strike Force army list from Codex: Eye of Terror way back in 3rd edition. We can expect the usual background section which will greatly expand on what we know about Ulthwé along with Warlord Traits, wargear, Cities of Death / Stronghold Assault strategems, etc.
Space Hulk
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ***
Next few week releases are:
- Dark Eldar
And then: Space Hulk limited edition.
via Father Gabe on Faeit 212 ****
Well still no poster that is supposed to go up today. Guess it will come today lol. It is tied in with the Crux painting guide, we know a teaser video will be released on Monday september 8th for this Product...thats singular btw. If poster comes in today expect an email around 2pm central. To add fuel to rumor, which i am loathe to do, current GW manager buzz on forums is it is Space Hulk *heavy sigh*
I would prefer plastic thunderhawk speculation over this but, at least space hulk seems more plausible for a single release project. My money would be re-release of Deathwing or variant there of. God help us if its a hobbit release, like Smaug.

Just to confirm next week's white dwarf....... The cover of next Week's White Dwarf, issue #33
5 Blood Angel Terminators in a spacehulk setting with Genestealers coming in at them.
"From the Void...... Doom Appears!
Space Hulk
Prepare Boarding Torpedoes for a Life or Death Dattle"
I found a vague hint in this week's White Dwarf Weekly that next week is going to be Space Hulk.
via an anonymous source on Faeit 212 ****
On Page 27 of Paint Spatter, the next week hint is "Getting to the Crux of it". It sounds like nothing, until you remember that the Crux Terminatus is the little Icon/Badge/Logo worn on Space Marine Terminators (as someone who cannot tell their Left from their Right, I cannot remember which one it is).
Vague is Vague, but it's possible we could be seeing Space Hulk, or at the very least something Terminator related next week.
New Games Workshop Paints
via Voice of the Chaos Gods ***
Last week I rumored 25 new colors by GW, now i have more informations:
-New Glazes
-Shades for White Basecoats
-pink base with two layers
-greenish metallic base with suitable layers
-Technical Paint for bleached effects
-some other paints
No Rumors Beyond this Point
I am rating what I personally think of the rumors (not the source). This is based off of behind the scenes knowledge, what different sources are saying, and general logic and guesswork. It goes like this. Remember that a source is often just letting us know what he knows or has seen...... Nothing more, nothing less.
5 Stars. If its got a 5 star rating, Although still rumor, its only so because nothing has been officially announced (These are on the level of Natfka either has seen this personally, or the Rumor Information is just undeniable and confirmed )
4 Stars is a very reliable rumor, and comes from someone I generally know to be in a good place, or the rumors match up well. These are not facts!, and I often have information that at least lets know the information comes from something real and solid. These are still rumors, and even great sources can have some information wrong on occasion. (think hastings-like, or close to that).
3 Stars, is a decent or average rumor. Should be looked at with some truth in it. (most will fall here). Rumor based off of real information, discussion, or we do not know where it falls. (Like I said, most will fall here, and this is the baseline.) In general, unless I know a lot more information about the rumor, it will fall here.
2 stars. Most likely speculation, but sound OK. Every once in a while these have something (think Natfka doesn't really think this is happening, but ya never know)
1 Star. Way out in left field, and I feel that these are probably just wild speculation or made up. (think whoa, where the hell did this come from, and generally posted up because its fun, or Natfka was bored)
