Blood Angels New Kits Incoming?, and Deathstorm Sold Out?
There are quite a few items missing off of the Games Workshop site for Blood Angels. Of course this could very well indicate that we are going to be seeing new releases for these models. However, it could also mean that we are just seeing some rebasing or even repackaging of new kits.

Blood Angel Primaris Power: Quickening
Character Rules for Shield of Baal: Deathstorm
Shield of Baal Deathstorm is now up for pre-orders, and with it comes two new models; Captain Karlean of the Blood Angels and the Spawn of Cryptus (a massive broodlord character).

Well today we get a small preview of their rules.
Release Order Including End Times: Skaven and Shield of Baal: Exterminatus
Exterminatus was a rumored name that many of us thought was the next release the for the Shield of Baal campaign, which ended up being Deathstorm. It seems likely now that Exterminatus is coming soon, and is the third installment of the Campaign instead of the second. Also that End Times Skaven is the next End Times book.
Here is a look at what is coming in the near future.
New Model for a Blood Angels Special Character
We have had no word yet of any special characters coming for the new Blood Angels codex, and it would be odd not to get any (although it happens.....). New whispers are saying a new sculpt is coming soon for Blood Angels.
Smaug Rules
Smaug is coming. To be able to field him in some sort of game would just be a ton of fun. Im not sure how often this would happen, but a fully painted Smaug and Town Militia fighting it out would be fantastic to see. However, we would need rules for this to happen........
Rules for Smaug are coming.
What Comes Next.... An Unexpected Ally
Its now becoming quite common knowledge that the Blood Angel codex, Tacticals, and Smaug are coming next week. The leaks are out, and very reliable sources have told given us the full release list for next week. So what comes next........ here are the teasers at the back of next week's White Dwarf.
The Horus Heresy Book Four – Conquest Pre-Orders
The Horus Heresy Book Four – Conquest is now up for pre-orders from Forgeworld. The book details out the Solar Auxilia and the background of four Knight Households. The book takes place during Horus's invasion of the northern Imperium.

The End Times has really driven Warhammer Fantasy these last few months, and as we approach a new edition rumored to be in May, there are questions about how the End Times will continue or be separate from the 9th edition release.
Settling the New Base Questions for Deathstorm
There is lots of questions about the new bases, as leaked images have shown Death Company, Carnifex, and new Broodlord on different sized bases.

Battle of the Five Armies Expansion and LotR.
While we have all heard that the licensing for the Hobbit will run out 2016, it will not be the end of the models as it appears that the LotR licensing will last through 2018. That leaves these models hanging around for quite some time.
