Latest News and Rumors
Blood Angels Campaign Set

There are a lot of rumors going around right now about a Blood Angel Campaign starting next week, or the week after this Tyranid release assuming that its only a single week release. Here are some of the latest rumors on Blood Angels

I keep getting questions about a Tyranids Codex release and here's some info.

1. This is a model release no Tyranids codex.
2. A Campaign book will be released and if I remember correctly it's called Leviathan.
3. Blood Angels are still coming.
4. There will be a starter set that contains BA and Tyranids. It will be similar to Storm Claw.
5. Hope to update Blood Angel rumors this week.

The campaign box hq for Tyranids will be a broodlord :-/ i don't play tyranids so not sure if that's good or not but there ya go ;) 
Umm wait a sec i might have gotten that mixed up with the Lichtor.. idk i don't play bugs so sorry if my names are off but its the thing with two big arm claws on a drednaught sized base

You'l get a ba named captain an assault/jump squad of the black armored guys a squad of termies and a squad of tacticals.. the tyranids will get the lichtor(big guy with claw arms on a 40mm base) and a pack of termigants cc? And hormagaunts gunbugs? I don't play nids so if i got the names wrong sorry.. heard it here first :) 

Oh.. and the necrons will play a part in this campaign far as I've heard 

I was specifically told campaigns would be used to tie codexs together ie ork & sw so expect this to be BA and necron related fighting tyranids together :)

The Endtimes

The Endtimes releases for Warhammer Fantasy have been incredibly popular and the book releases very hard to get if you did not order quickly. They have sold out quickly, as fast as within 3-4 hours of pre-orders. However, it is very likely, and very much a fact now, that GW is going to release these in a Softcover release. The fact was revealed in letters to individual GW stores. This week's rumor though (not yet verified) is the pricing on the cost of getting an Endtimes Softcover book.

Endtimes: Softcover Anthology Coming with Pricing

Hey Natfka,

I just got off the phone with a GW employee in Canada, I was asking about reserving a hard cover copy of the Glottkin book (which as you know is impossible) he said the soft cover anthology is coming and will run at 60$CAD.
