 More Dark Angels Rumours from Sticky Money today covering Fast Attach and Troops.

via Stickmonkey on  Bell of Lost Souls
TROOPS: 
Deathwing Terminators – Same general layout as we have now, but with additional Plasma Cannon and Autocannon heavy weapon options.

Tactical Squads – The old classics we all love, moving on…

Ravenwing Bike Squad – Up to ten bikers, for each 5 bikes, you may upgrade one to an Attack bike.  Attack bike gunner options are: HB, MM, HF, Twin-linked Plasmagun!. Squad can Combat Squad and has Teleport Homers.

FAST ATTACK:
Ravenwing Landspeeder Support Squad – Same as now, but gunner option are: HB, MM, HF, Twin-linked Plasmagun!

Ravenwing Bike Support Squad – Full Attack Bike unit (this might also be a duplicate report of the TROOPS Bike Squad)

Assault Squad – Same old classic jump-pack squad we have now.

Ravenclaw Air Superiority Fighter – Dual “Reaper Cannons” allowing Snap Shots on flyers. Can be replaced with 2x Missiles, or 2x Plasma Cannons.

But what does a Raven Claw look like???? Early reports suggested this would a land speeder variant like the Tempest, but with eagle shaped wings.

Eldar Rumours: From birdy on Warseer

These seem to contidict some of the existing rumours. I’d thought I’d read the Falcon (plastic kit) was getting redone. I’ll be glad it’s it’s not I don’t think it’s needs it.

Hi,
the translation of the next eldar codex has started (or so it seems)…

All plastic minis stay the same for the moment including jetbikes
Wraithguards will be plastic with a HtH option (swords)
A new Farseer model (finecast iirc)
a character for Dire Avengers, a new entry “something-seer”

That’s all I got for the moment!”

Rumours: Orks!!!

Looks like the Waugh is starting to build. So much for informaton lock downs at GW.

First we can start with orks what i have heard is that they stay the same with furious charge and mob rules but all orks ( not grots or squigs)
will get FnP 6+ as a race because they are basically tough and it takes a lot to kill and stop an ork.

Most weapons will stay the same except choppas are ap6 but gain ap5 on charge and big choppers will be +2s and ap4 and ap3 on charge.

Nobz stay the same but are getting more characterful upgrades available to them, new kinds or grot assistants such as suicide grots(act alot like bomb squigs but prone to blowing up in unit) and
ammo runts and attack squigs also more weapon options like Big shootas and such.

new nob mega armour unit with teleporting abilities but its teleporting works differently from conventional deepstrike bit more random.
There is a special mek character that can bestow teleportation on D3 units.

special bloodaxe character with rules that can bring back boyz units once they are destroyed, much like an imperial guard special character.

A large multi wound squigoth type creature, not FW, it is ever hungry and uses a hunger points system. if it doesn’t fulfill the hunger points in enemy’s it will rampage nearest unit friend or
foe in order to eat.

Two new ork psychic lists for weirdboys, Mork more offencive and Gork more strategic. Many powers in the lists get more powerful the more orks are around the weirboy,
although the more powerful they are the more dangerous they are if they are miscast as they will often misdirect or hit the weirdboy and unit.

New ork only fortifications (including an ork rock) and an ork only warlord chart
