Sigh...when are we going to start hearing more solid rumours?
If this was 40k the fanboys would have rules and model leaks by now xD
Thanks to Harry and everything, but what we know is hardly worth knowing so far. In fact GW inadvertently has given more info with the 'Age of Sigmar' flyer/WD ad than we've had for months
Harry:
Yes ... I do apologise ... genuinely. Everything I heard I heard many months ago when I first started posting about this ... must be a couple of years ago now. Im afraid what I heard (and is soon about to happen) made me loose all interest. (I have loved the Warhammer world and the armies in it my entire adult life .... I have HUGE armies all of them) It is no biggie for me because I will continue to play with various older editions but I am just not interested in where they are going ....
As i result I have not gone looking for a single rumour for a long time now. Even when folks tried to tell me stuff I was very much ... 'You don't know that half of it .... not interested'.

I can confirm this I spoke with my Store manager yesterday at my local GW here in Texas and he pretty much said the exact same thing, everything is coming off the shelves besides the models. AoS is going to be a completely different game, it's not 9th edition fantasy. He told me Hobbit is being replaced by AoS not by HH. He also told me there will be three versions of the game: the sundering (set in End times basically unbound), skirmish mode, and playing in the old world (warhammer as we currently know it). He acknowledged the biggest barrier to the WHF is obviously the cost and time needed to start an army. Which is why they're going in this direction which I don't completely understand but hey it's GW...I trust this info. Also he stated (and this part is more speculation) but they may actually put back on the shelves the 8th edition ABs after AoS gets released.
Harry:
Well there is a thought that had not occurred. Clear the shelves whilst they sell the new stuff then bring them back out again? I guess it is possible.

Store managers have never been told anything and we have no reason to believe anything has changed in that.
Harry:
Not stricktly true. Everyone has mates. They will not have been told anything officially but any individual might know someone who knows something. They are actually more likely to tell a store manager .... because they assume it will go no further. The conversation would start with ... "You can't tell anyone else BUT ....." which is exactly how the next conversation starts when he picks up the phone to his mate.

I have absolutely no reason to yank anyone around regarding the future of WHFB, I have a lot invested in it just like many of you. The only Hobbit box he had in the store yesterday was the starter. That was it. They are pulling the Hobbit and according to him replacing it with AoS. The space left by the pulled AB's will be filled by stock signs indicating AoS is coming. Models aren't going anywhere as stated before. My question to him was how can you expect people to still be able to play warhammer in it's current form if you pull all the books because like many of you, I was shocked. He didn't really have a definitive answer on this whether or not he would have to send everything back to Corporate or what was happening. Today is the last day you can get ABs, ET books, etc. Walk into an official GW store tomorrow and you will only find Fantasy models, no rules to support. And there will be something in WD every week leading up to July 4th to create hype for AoS.
Harry:
You sound 100% genuine to me mate, So thanks for the rumours.
I have also heard that this will replace the Hobbit.
This is what made my ears prick up at the notion above that the army books were just being removed for a limited time. maybe 8th edition will one day sit along side The age of sigmar stuff as 40K sits along side 30K

I've been saying this for a while, but my belief is that as soon as GW rolls out their new armies, they're going to stop selling all the old ones. There's no way they're going to keep selling 15 old armies while they're trying to push 6 or however many new armies they've got in store. I suspect that as soon as those new armies appear on the webstore, the old ones will disappear simultaneously and no longer be available for sale, unless a specific model or unit continues to exist in its current form in the new upcoming factions.
Harry:
I have to say ... this is what I really think. I keep hoping for the best ... but it normally ends with disappointment and a lot of head shaking and sighing.
Seems to me that thsi will go exactly like the bits ordering service....at one point you could order any bit you wanted. but it was simply not profitable to keep all that in stock, especially when they only sold some bits once every couple of years! or to bring out a mould
and spin it just for the single part or pay folks to manage it all. So they scrapped the lot. They then re-introduced the most recent bits that they still felt they might shift a few of and the best selling few % of all bits.
If you view the plastic kits in the same way. they make the vast majoity of their sales in the first couple of months after release. Shiney new toy syndrome being what it is. Soooo ... they might keep the recent releases for anyone who didn't snag it right away ... they might keep the best sellers ... the top few % (Not sure what those would be but I suspect the core troops that can be built in multiple ways and some of the coolest big kits) but the rest would be disappearing because it would simply not be worth doing a run at great cost just to sell one box of Tomb King cavalry to have the rest gather dust .... although that would be entirely fitting for the Tomb kings.
I would expect the lucky few % to then appear repackaged with all the rules you need to play them and their shiney new round or oval bases right there in the box.
Und dann gab es noch folgende Bilder aus nem GW in Frankfreich:

Unterm Strich jedoch weiterhin nix handfestes 
Bedeutung? - Da halte ich mich raus... 
Keiner weiß so recht was kommt, man hängt mit seinen Projekten in der Luft, es droht ein deutlicher Wertverlust der geliebten Armeen, bis hin zur unspielbarkeit. Was mache ich denn mit 50 Hellebardenträgern, wenn das Imperium der 9. Edition schon als Kerneinheit Sigmar-Marines auf 40mm Bases stellt?
