RUMORED 2009 Schedule:
First we hear that 2009 may be shaping up as follows:

September-October 08: Space Marines
December-January 09: Space Wolves
March-April 09: Imperial Guard
July-August 09: Dark Eldar
November-December 09: Necrons

The last two could get swapped as the Design Studio has supposedly made more progress on the Necron Codex and models than they have with Dark Eldar.

Here is hoping DA/BA get the same treatment.

Yeah the new DA FAQ wasn't even very 5th-i-fied

so here is to hoping BA/DA get the updates... or they will be very very dead armies.
