Don't you just hate competing rumors?  Two "new" branches of the rumormill tree just shot up in the last three days.  Here's what the rumormongers are saying for the next codex:



1) Chaos Legions is next -
PROS: codices are said to back from printers, minis are done, matches the power-armor / non power armor release pattern
CONS: GW's desire to wait till after 6th launches to put out such an important and awaited book and mini range.
RUMORMONGER CREDIBILITY: Average

2) Tau is next -
PROS: last major ancient un-updated codex from 4th, minis are done, and on ice for months, no word on codex
CONS: Surprise rumor coming out of nowhere, would be 2 xenos in a row for codex releases
RUMORMONGER CREDIBILITY: Average

3) Dark Angels are next-
PROS: older codex in need of an update, DA minis seen in the new starter painting sets, matches the power-armor / non power armor release pattern
CONS: Yet another marine variant, with low interest compared to the other contenders, after 6 months of no new 40K codices.
RUMORMONGER CREDIBILITY: Low

The "conventional wisdom" (a whole 2 months old) of Chaos being next happened after a hoaxster from early in the year admitted feeding a bunch of bull regarding upcoming Tau Empire rules.  Before that happened, and for several months before that incident, the conventional wisdom had Tau as the last codex of 5th Edition.  Dark Angels were the fallback as the "low-risk quick update" if GW just wanted to get something easy out the door to fill space before 6th.

Please remember that these are rumors. Salt required.

OK so I went to a comp last weekend (yesterday in fact ).
At this I had a chat with a guy who until recently used to be a GW manager. He talked with me a bit about upcoming stuff.

Now I know this seems like the least credible source in history (better than my brothers friends sister works at a printing company though) but other people from the club he'd come from say hes usually been right about his rumours;

May
Next wave Necrons. Also a suprise wave of fliers (the DE Voidraven, Necron Fliers, an Ork Fightabomba and a aircraft for regular marines. Maybe stuff for other races wasn't sure)at the end of the month, with rules in WD

DA
Next Book.- Preorder at end of may for beginning on June release

6th Ed
End of June.

6th Ed starter box
Will not be released in the traditional pre-UK games day slot, and will likely be earlier (when he didn't say)

Chaos vs DA. DA includes 5 Ravenwing, 5 Deathwing, some Tac Marines and a Deathwing Commander.

Chaos includes some chosen, a sorceror and a boatload of cultists (He did say he didn't see a Dread - which is against every other rumour thus far I think - But he did admit only seeing some of the sprues- Sorceror also opens up possibilites of those plastic Plaguebearers we've heard about before)

Chaos
Will be before the box set, supposedly preorders up at the end of July.

Tau
November.

He claimed GW are trying to release 3 codexes and the main rule book this year, in addition to another fantasy book and the hobbit stuff, so releases may seem more closely packed than we're used to

As I said, credibiltiy seems laughable, but I believed him. Maybe that makes me an idiot. We'll just to wait and see.....
