Новая демоническая модель от форджи
From here
From The Decapitator on Dakka Dakka:
So not sure when it's due for release, possibly in the upcoming Imperial Armour book, but Forge World are releasing an amazing looking new 40K Chaos model.
On the surface of it, it looks like a possible Chaos Contemptor, only bigger and stockier, think Dreadknight sized. It's hard to describe but it looks mean! It's also not actually a Dreadnought of sorts, it's actually a Chaos Daemon Engine!
It's called a 'Decimator', although I believe there is another version planned called a 'Dessicator'. Not sure if this is a separate entry depending on weapon loadouts however, or another unit with a slightly different statline and USR's.
There are 5 weapon arms currently planned, the basic loadout being 2 x CCW's. I believe there is another CCW option (a type of chainfist thing) and 3 gun options as it stands. Don't remember the name of one of them but I know one is called a 'Butcher Cannon' and the other is a 'Chaos Conversion Beamer' probably with it's own funky name!
Sorry I can't bring you any more news than that, but when you see it you'll realise why I think it's so damn cool!

He later wrote:
It's definately not a Chaos Contemptor, it's a completely separate unit entry. I believe a model for the Chaos Contemptor will be getting it's own model. I used it as an example to roughly demonstrate the look and the size difference.
But having seen it, I'd gladly place a wager! I'm confident that FW wouldn't get to this stage on a model, and produce 5 weapon arms just to scrap it!

And:
I don't believe it has any relationship with the Chaos Dreadnought, other than the fact that on the face of it, it's a machine that has 2 legs and stands upright.

Новые слухи по ХСМ
via Stickmonkey
So my snitches have passed along a few bits.
Up next for 40k sounds like may timeframe for a chaos codex. Rumored to expand upon 4 major legions.
New plastics
Chaos dread.
New plastic raptors
New plastic plague bearers
New character sculpts, not sure if abaddon is included...
I think most if not all of this has been mentioned before.
On top of this, I'm hearing there will be a few blister releases for other armies between now and summer. Even with WFB likely to take the spotlight in April, I'm being told to expect 2-3 blisters for 40k.
Likely candidates include missing characters for Nids, Necrons, DE. All of which have sculpts ready.
4 Legions being expanded upon:
Emporers children
Death guard
World eaters
Thousand sons
But that's not all that's in the book from what I hear. And the conflict in what I've heard is that they expanded upon the 4 chaos gods, or they expanded upon the 4 legions devoted to those specific gods, so I'm not certain which is true right now, if either.
I have heard from many sources traitor guard and others are in the book, but nothing close enough for me to have a lot of faith yet there.
No words on another dex, but as Abaddon is in the dex, I expect all 9 legions to be covered somehow.
I want to clarify, I don't know this release slot is May. Seems like a lot of people grabbing onto that. Only that its likely the next release "slot" that could be a 40k window. But the rumors I'm getting are that this chaos release is next up. Next up could be October for all I know. But I suspect sooner.
I'm also confirming a 6e winging it's way our direction.
Past few major editions have followed the model of hb rulebook in June/July and box set in September. If I recall fantasy and 40k had no accompanying models to the hb release. But did have a ton of gaming accessories.
I've got another bit on the rb/starter. Not sure where this fits, but I've got some new info on "emplacements" (their word) being part of 6th and a kit (or kits) being developed. No other details. could be another bastion style model. Could be something else entirely. One rumor I'm hearing consistently is that the amount of effort being put into cranking out fantasy terrain is getting focused towards 40k to show it some more love.

Everything SM says matches up to rumours I have, except the Chaos Dex could be May or June, with 6th Edition around about July.
I can't go into detail about special characters but there will be a couple coming that I know of around the same time as 6th Edition.
40k will get a fair bit of stuff this year, but expect it to be more of a trickle than a downpour.
I have heard there will be more releases than usual models wise, but they will be small releases to keep interest up for the whole of the 25th anniversary year.
I don't know if that means small waves every month for 12 months, or a blister or two each month but there should apparently be more than enough to keep all 40K players happy.

Чаптерхаус и ГВ, часть 2
From here
"The lawsuit by Games Workshop against Chapterhouse Studios and Paulson Games has been news for over a year now. For those of you who are new to this news, Games Workshop sued Chapterhouse Studios, and Jon Paulson. No one seems to know why they sued Jon Paulson since he didn't have anything to do with Chapterhouse, though he did do resin casting. GW claims that both Chapterhouse and Paulson Games violated GW copyrights.
You can download the original legal filing by Games Workshop here.

Games Workshop last month announced that they had settled with Jon Paulson. They made the announcement on their Investor Relations page. My guess is they just dropped him from teh suit since there was no connection with Chapterhouse. Nice going GW, suing someone for no reason.
January 6, 2012
Games Workshop and Paulson Games are pleased to announce the settlement of the copyright litigation commenced by Games Workshop in federal court in Chicago. Paulson Games and Games Workshop have agreed on the range of products Paulson Games is permitted to sell without violating Games Workshop’s claimed rights in its Warhammer 40,000 characters and have agreed to terminate the litigation between them. Games Workshop’s case against Chapterhouse Studios continues.
So with Paulson out of the lawsuit, Chapterhouse is now front and center.
StraightSilver from Warseer posted the latest news (or rumors) about the GW lawsuit. As an attorney myself, I find always find this stuff interesting. Certainly the timing of the the new Nid and Space Wolves releases has caused a lot of speculation about how this may be tied into the lawsuit. None the less, here is what StraightSilver had to say:
Concerning the Chapterhouse lawsuit, I would be the person concerned who first bought it to light.
Unfortunately my original comments were cut and pasted from DakkaDakka and spread like wildfire, and in many cases I was misquoted.
Essentially I was told over a year ago, by a very, very reliable source (who shall remain unnamed) that certain kits were being held back by GW as there were concerns regarding the Chapterhouse lawsuit.
GW had been advised that because they had not released physical representations of Thunderwolves, Tervigon, Tyrannofex, Doom etc that third parties who already had could contest ownership.
GW have never released a Thunderwolf model, they have released Canis Wolfborn, and as such own the rights to a model caleed Canis Wolfborn, but had not yet released Thunderwolves.
There was a fear that releasing these models after other third party manufacturers (not just CHS) would weaken their case against Chapterhouse.
The most contentious of these models being the Doom of Malantai, Tervigon and Thunderwolves.
However it is no coincidence that several months ago GW hired a new IP lawyer, who now advises them on exactly these kind of issues, and it is obvious that their legal advisors have said it's ok to release these models.
It's not a coincidence that Thunderwolves and the Tervigon have been released simultaneously just before the case against Chapterhouse goes to trial.
So there is a summary of where we are at he moment. I will continue to keep my ear to the ground and have contacted both Nick at Chapterhouse and Jon Paulson for comments if they care, though Nick of course, doesn't want to say too much for now".
