This Week: Necrons, Harlequins, and Death Watch


Even though it's Christmas week, there quite a few rumors about what is coming out in 2015. Necrons, Harlequins, and even Death Watch are in the rumors.


With everyone so busy this time of year it's well worth your time to see if you missed anything this week. Here is a recap of what happened.

The Latest Rumors
Forgeworld
Forgeworld Tabs Appeared Briefly on the GW Webstore
We have been talking about something like this for a long time, and earlier today this was spotted. Definitely something going on, as you can clearly see that Forgeworld is on the tab. Of course it was unmarked but clearly visible when looked at closer.

This morning CET (Central European Time), I visited the GW Shop and found something interesting.



Upcoming Releases
Deathwatch, Harlequins for 2015
Earlier we were discussing the order of things for the coming year, and Harlequins are the biggest bit of new/rumors we have had for a bit. Now we can add on top of that, as we are hearing that we could be seeing Deathwatch as well this coming year. …

thought I'd add some info I've heard, normally what I hear is pretty reliable, harlequins will be coming, so will deathwatch at some point this year probably. We already know necrons are here soon, I don't have a lot of info on that but know tesla is changing, just a nerf to the snap shots afaik.



Surprise Codex Coming? Harlequins

Christmas is over, and its time to focus down and start looking ahead. We know that Necrons are rumored to be released on January 31st, and there has been mentioned before that there will be a surprise codex release early this year. Harlequins?

After that come.... Harlequins. Multiple plastic kits and clams over several weeks I think including new jetbike riding ones, is there a current or old name for them? These are called sky weaver.

Unless there is anything big I’m unaware of this Should be hitting February, or March at the latest.



January Will Be End Times Thanquol plus a little Blood Angels

Over the next few weeks through January we will be getting a full Endtimes Book 4 release with new units. There will also be a Blood Angels release as well (new army box and character), but beyond that some dedication towards Skaven in the new book called Thanquol.

Seen white dwarf for 2 weeks time and it had the vermin lord in there, it is the same size as Nagash, leaping up off the base, and has 5 different variants, one for each of the clans, eshin, pestilence etc. looks absolutely amazing!

Cover of End Times 4 Seen: It's Skaven
Of course Skaven are expected for the Endtimes 4 book release, and recent rumors have put promotion material arriving at stores as we speak. So it was only a matter of time before we got wind of what some of that might look like. Lets see what is being said.

We saw the new cover art for endtimes 4. It's rat caster riding some Monster with a cannon. (Sorry not to familiar with skaven)The new white dwarf has new skaven monsterous creature as the front covers but that's all i saw.

Plastic Vermin Lord to make 5 different kits in white dwarf 49.

white dwarf 2 weeks from now will feature the release of a plastic 
vermin lord kit, will make 5 alternate models with different themes. 1 
Eshin, 1 Grey Seer, 1 Warlord, 1 Moulder and one supposed "Vermin King".

Eshin one can be skitterleapt and gets re-rolls to cast skitterleap, grey 
seer one always gets 6 on the d6+1 part of warp lightning casts. No further 
information about the others or point costs, but alledgedly he's going to 

be about the same dimesnsions as Nagash.
