Apocalypse and other Rumors

Here is teh Rumor Roundup for this week!
Apocalypse Second Edition is around the corner!  Pre-orders are June 29th.  And GW released a video to announce it.  Not much here, but then again, the videos are more moving print ads than anything else.  I would love to see GW create some unique content for these, like the photos from the Imperial Armour books. 

In other rumor news:

Codex Supplements

First, we got the Iyanden Codex Supplement this week and we are sure to see more.  We are supposed to see a second Craftworld Codex supplement this year.  A White Scars supplement is also rumored to be coming with the Space Marine Codex release in September.  

Tyranids

Tyranid news hit this week.  It seems that Tyranids are after Space Marines, putting them in November/December timeframe.  The rumors also indicate a large plastic monstrous creature, which makes sense with both Tau and Eldar receiving a new big kit.

The new kit is said to be sized in comparison to the Tyrannofex as a Wraithknight is to a Wraithlord.

Space Marines

There are rumors of a new Space Marine "giant walker", to which was said:

"Imagine if the current Space Marine dreadnought was the mommy and the Contemptor was the daddy - and the kid was enormous".

Apocalypse

via Best_Pone on BoLS:
Has anyone mentioned the company masters yet? Marine players are getting some more of the company masters. I believe they're the masters of the reserve companies.  

And on the GW site in the description of the Imperial Bunker :

"The Imperial Bunker can be combined with the Wall of Martyrs scenery range including the Imperial Defence Line, Aquila Strongpoint, Firestorm Redoubt, Vengeance Weapon Battery, and the Imperial Defence Emplacement. The only limit to how big your Wall of Martyrs set can be is your imagination (and probably the size of your gaming table)."

Aquila Strongpoint, Firestorm Redoubt and Vengeance Weapon Battery could be the 3 new apoc terrain pieces... 


July will be an interesting month!
