This thread over at Warseer adding fuel to what I’ve been hearing and reading from some folks at GW as well as various places on the web. 2010 is gearing to be a year for WFB, like 2009 was for 40K, We got Skaven in this November followed by Beast of Chaos and Tomb Kings the first half of next year with third unnamed release in the 4th quarter.

The bigger news however is a huge organized summer campaign in the works, based on the Empire versus Von Carstein (my friend Bill and I are going to love that) and an actual WFB rules amendment (lets call it 7.1 Ed) with changes in some rules, specifically cavalry (whether this changed rules or added is unknown) and a bunch of second, third and even 4th wave release of cavalry models for various armies..Rumor has it that my wish of new fancy Empire Knights in line with GW’s great new plastics is finally coming, although I currently have 17 Knights completely done. I’ll definitely be adding a whole lot more…hell with I have extra…I could run an all mounted Empire Army..(thou I don’t how well that would do, but it would sure look cool)

Further analysis from ultimate insider and rumorlord “Harry” say yes he’s hearing these things too…but certain things are not necessarily tied together (meaning the rules, the campaign and new models aren’t all tied together but are planned releases, order and relevance still unknown). However it shakes out, next year is going to be great for us WFB players. Also pure speculation but with the success of Space Hulk and year of WFB releases in the works can a new updated Warhammer Quest also be in the works?..think about it.

This is awesome news! Especially the possible rework of the Calvary rules and hence roles they will play in the army. I am really excited especially since my favorite Silver Helms got nerfed in 7th edition. I can’t help wondering if this means All-Cav is BACK! Waiting with bated breath…(meanwhile I will try to dig out more rumors on the Calvary rule changes.)
