[Zerocide]

Does anyone remember what teh rumors where for the next codex's? I remember hearing some talk about Ork and Dark Eldar in 2008.

If you are lucky, almighty jason will grace you with the GW release schedule, since I don't know it off the top of my head. But I believe that have it set out until '09.

They've jacked around the release schedule. This summer it was supposed to be Codex: Apocalypse (for huge 40K battles, like 3000+ points per side with Super Heavies... official GW stats not Forge World...), then Space Marine redo (fix stuff, update rules for DP and reorganize book like the Dark Angels set-up), then Orks in the winter, followed by Blood Angels and Space Wolves sometime next Spring. FOUR books of Chaos Summer '08. Dark Eldar and Necrons, and the various 'Hunters would be late early '09.

Now things have gotten shook up. Apocalypse is pushed back and something different is coming the summer (Orks? Dark Eldar?). My money on Orks, though with the recent 'Advanced Order' option for new packaged Dark Eldar Wyches (with a special weapon variant sculpt, looks like...) on the GW Online Store, maybe... :confused:

And I'm no longer "in the loop," with GW, like Dale. They ended the Outrider program. We've still got some connections, but GW is now pretty tight-lipped on releases (only issue with Jerv being back in control... things get done, and done pretty well, but no teasers... blighter!).

I am both hopefull and dreading the ork new codex...Hopeful for some update that will clear up some questions, but dreading it because i get the feeling they might make orks a little less "Orky".

You forgot to mention the release of the next edition rulebook in 2010 and then the whole cycle starts over again.
What a great marketing team they have over there.
