News from the East

Well, to any of you who read Bell of Lost Souls, or other rumor sites, this won't come as a surprise, but to everyone else, apparently a new codex for Warhammer 40k is on the horizon. Chaos Legions, focusing on the original 9 Legions that led the Horus Heresy, will be released, supposedly in the spring of next year. This is superseding the Tau codex rumors of the same time, pushing my favorite army's book back to an unknown time slot. Of course, this is a blessing in disguise for me, as supposedly the summer after CL is T-10 and counting for 40k 6th Edition! All right, now we're talking! As far as I understand it, Necrons, followed by Chaos Legions, followed by 6th Ed! A good line-up, making this coming year a good reason to play!

Of course, plenty of people are going to be angry about this, worrying about Chaos Legions being broken come 6th, but I'm not one to complain! It gives us an opportunity to model and build and have fun! And isn't that what the hobby is all about, whether you're a fluff player or a comp player?

In other events, we've got Warhammer Fantasy Storm of Magic released now. It is, as described by other reviewers, an excellent addition, building magic up in a good way, allowing plenty of fun and wacky hi-jinks to ensue. Apparently, it isn't targeted towards competition, with all the insanity and randomness, but rather towards a way to take an existing army, and add the monsters and wizards you've always wanted, but couldn't because of army rules! I for one am going to enjoy slapping a dragon with my Brettonian horse lords!

That's all I've got so far, pulled from BoLS and Warseer. If anyone else have any comments, hit the button below. If you think I missed your favorite army's upcoming rumors, comment! I love hearing rumors about everything! However, I also would rather not have the comments turn into a massive flame war, so let's keep it civil! I'd love to have my comments turn into a debate club meeting, but if insults start getting thrown, I will start closing the comments.

Thanks for reading, and I'll be back later for more! G'nite all!
