Titans and Super Heavies [AoTK]

Some new news!

The actual release order is clearly not set in stone yet. This particular batch of rumours has Eldar as the next codex, then 6th edition. After that, Chaos Marines, and Black Templars or Tau. Kelly may actually be writing Eldar again. which would be pretty excellent since I personally don't trust any other author with the Eldar codices.

A 'Fall of Damnos' starter set sounds the most realistic one I've heard proposed thus far, as it would allow GW to indulge in their typical Ultramarine fetish whilst throwing some new, plastic Necrons into the mix. Maybe the unreleased jetbikes? The Triarch Stalker?

I'd like to point out one thing I think you missed there, and that thing is the one definite amongst a whole lot of maybe. The first codex of 6th edition will be Codex: Space Marines.
They always get the first codex after a new edition, it happened with 4th, it happened with 5th, and it will happen with 6th, 7th, 8th ect.

I don't see SMs being directly followed by CSMs, I think GW will put something else between them, maybe Tau or Eldar. Although I suppose there are a number of power armoured releases which are incoming, BTs and maybe DAs in addition to SMs and Chaos so you never know.

Yeah, those would be my realistic expectations as well. I was merely stating that though the link doesn't completely line up with other rumoured order of releases (I know some were saying Tau would be the next codex - this particular rumour places Eldar there instead), it still has the same host of codices scheduled for a 2012 release, none of which are the 6th edition Space Marines.

The thing is, as I suggested at, it does specifically mention C:SMs

4. CSM will get one of the newest dexes in 6th, right after the Marine dex.

Its GWs way to make sure that their poster boys are always entirely up to date with the current edition. Personally I don't see how they can greatly change them from edition to edition, a few things to bring them in line with the rules if 6th is as great a change as we're being led to believe, but what then? Stormravens are quite likely, especially if its a Ward-dex, if we're lucky then they won't get anything along the lines of a Dreadknight.

Eldar being next does seem the thing. Thats what I heard aswell. Although I also heard CSM v Eldar Boxset aswell.

I don't know about anyone else but I would like Phil Kelly to be writing the Tau dex, perhaps with someone else. I just don't trust Mat Ward with the Tau fluff yet. That sounds really harsh but having compared the then to the now Necrons there are things in there that don't sit well with me. I don't even like Necrons sorry- Tomb Kings in space but their fluff took a huge turn. I don't want the Tau backstory already in place turned on its head because of things like new models/forces not making sense having not been there before in the old dex.

And when was the last time Eldar got an update? Waiting longer then Space Wolves or not quite as long? Honestly we (Tau) do need an update but if this fluff thing rolls (exiting!  ) maybe we can wait a little. Eldar being next seems wrong. I don't know why, it just feels out of place.

...it's certainly novel and it's nice to see GW trying new things, even if they are stupid as it shows hope for them trying new things in future and learning from their mistakes so that we get sensible new ideas.

You can't expect GW to interfere with the org chart/capabilities of their precious Space Marines before testing a new/possibly weakening change on a xenos army first. 

If it works out well, then they make a stronger ability/change.  If it doesn't work, then only the xenos suffer...
