Since we seem to be getting some buzz let's kick this off with what's going around so far (from BoLS' forums):

One project that is more on the horizon is plastic Chaos Cult Troops. I can say that the Plague Marines are more bulky and tailored for the new bases. Standard 5 man squads per box with all weapon options and nice bits to spruce up the Champions.

2015 will be the year of supplements and campaigns. Dark angels will almost certainly feature in the next campaign which i heard quite possibly is called DarkStorm
~The opponents to the Dark Angels are said to be Crimson Slaughter

Regarding Codex Chaos Space Marines

-No Cult Marines in the Codex
-Few Rule changes
-Dataslates for Cult Marines, Terminators, Chosen ect. in White Dwarf
-One Chaos God per Issue (each with their own dataslates for Berzerker Termis, Plague Termis ect.)

Further clarifications for CSM Cult Marines

-No own Profiles/Choices for Cult Marines in the Codex
-Cult Marines are "upgrades" for the most of the CSM Units

There is a rumor about the next end times book focusing on khorne.
Precisely my point on rumors being mixed up for Fantasy and 40k.
all these CSM rumors are making it hard for me to decide if i should buy my next round of models or hold off until whatever is going to happen happens, lol.
I wouldnt mind a CSM codex as long as cult marines were still in codex. Id also like a few supplements i.e.
4 god specific supplements: Deathguard, Emperors Children, World Eaters and Thousand Sons which not only make cult marines troops but introduce codex specific units so Emperors Children getting a usable Lucius and Slaaneshi Raptors. Deathguard instead of getting culitists get Plague Zombies and Nurgley Hellbrutes.
World Eaters get usable Bezerkers and Thousand Sons getting . . . i dunno Sorcerer Reunite?
In my opinion they should put the 4 gods stuff in the codex instead of making all of this supplement crap. If they made the codex a bit more expensive because it has more content in it then I'd be fine with it.
They really need to update the codex. The organization, the points costs, none of them are on par with 7th edition. All the cult stuff sounds very nice, but a new codex is the "right" thing to do, IMHO. I will keep dreaming of a Khorne supplement, but really, I can live without it. Does this suggest that I will, in fact, die if a new C:CSM isn't released? Oh shit...

Assuming 7th edition will last a few years, I think they will definitely release a new C:CSM at some point. Maybe not as fast as we'd like it (as in NNNNNNOWWWW!), but some day. :angel:
...I will keep dreaming of a Khorne supplement...:
as someone who enjoys the hobby more for the converting/painting aspect I'm personally really excited about the new models. I've been preparing myself to pain the FW bloodthirster for a few months now (not something I want to dive right into without a lot of prep) and with a new model coming out I may just have a collection starting :p

That said I do miss the giant codexs of old, the big yellow one (2nd I think) was my favorite.
And again the same rumors are being rehashed over @BoLS

The rumor spigot is opening, and even more tidbits are here about everyone’s favorite traitor Astartes – coming next month!

-New Khorne Berzerker Box
-Khorne Berzerker on Juggers Box

And let’s compare that to the previous rumors of the March CSM release:

Those old plastic Berzerkers have been needing an update for a loooooooong time now. Glad to hear of this.
And here is the page for the CSM Rumors Round-up

Time to start up the official Chaos Marines Rumormill...

The Plastic Bloodthirster is real.

Kit makes three models a normal bloodthirster with whip and Axe of Khorne, one wielding a monstrous two-handed axe, third has a doubleheaded axe and super long chain flail. The wings are really big - the model is almost as big as Nagash, and is extra tall. It is sculpted on top of a flickering flame. There are three different heads with different types of horns and helmets. Large armoured hooves, thigh straps, regular upper body strapps and gladiator kindof armour. Super muscular, like a super ripped world's strongest man mixed with a Khorne daemon.

It looks like Chaos is coming in March after all:

-New Khorne Berzerker Box
-Khorne Berzerker on Jugger Box
-Chaos Lord of Khorne Clam Pack
berzerkers on juggers would be pretty awesome!

And how! I've put off building my kitbashed 'zerkers on jugs because I want to see if they're gonna be a real unit or not. That way I can attempt WYSIWYG for once.
Guess it's good timing to start a CSM army after all. Hopefully the "you buy the mark and that's the upgrade to the cult" rumors are true.

I actually hope its not. I like being able to run chaos marines dedicated to khorne without having to run berzerkers etc. But as long as the options are viable, I dont really mind how they do it, whether there are Legion rules (like chapter tactics), or just marks and icons, I want the codex to have better internal balance, so that I have the ability to build multiple styles of lists and remain competitive rather than be told "dont take chaos marines take 2 min squads of cultists and..." I want Codex Chaos Space Marines to be Codex Chaos Space Marines.

I'm with you. I have about 35 Berzerkers and roughly 40 CSM. I would love to flood the table with power armor and not totally gimp my list.
It's just the looted wagon all over again! (if the OP is true)
Sooo..this has dropped on Bols:

Compared to the previous rumors, it might be true. Still, no pictures, no party.

where would the rules for berzerkers on juggers come from, WD? I would buy so many of those things.

A new codex (highly doubtful to me), a new supplement (less doubtful), a new dataslate (cheap to produce), or yeah, White Dwarf. Using WD could tide us over until the "actual" rules release.

I foretold these probabilities by splitting open an Eldar child and reading its guts.

The guts also foretold that you will indeed spend lots of money on these if they exist. :crazy:

FFS, if I have told you once, I have told you about three and a bit times,
it's much easier to tidy up tea leaves
