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

-Chaos release coming in MARCH

-New Khorne Berzerker Box
-Khorne Berzerker on Juggers Box
-Chaos Lord of Khorne Clam Pack

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

Isn't this the Archaon end times release?

Apparently it'll be a busy month. :^)

That said, it's possible that CSM could drop as a splash release.

I think the Idea of a March Release has some supporting items. The Brick and Morter stores this week just had a large recall of product, (normal post-Christmas process). But Interestingly they pulled from the shelves any unsold Black Legion and Crimson Slaughter supplements.. They also pulled all the Choas 40K finecasts as well, but not the Berzerker Box.

Now, because of this I do think we are going to see an 'update for chaos'. But I am unsure we will see the new Berzerker's, I think it may be a bit of whishlisting...

But as it will be after the next endtimes book, we are looking at 3 to 4 weeks... so March.

I was thinking that since the Bloodthirster is in both fantasy and 40k, that itll be a big combined release sort of deal.

ET aechaon --> bloodthirster --> CSM

OR Something to that effect

To Be honest it would be more sensible for Daemons to get the update. Unless they have decided to merge the army's again!

It would.... But weve seen a LOT of CSM rumor activity, surely something must be up.

Well, some of that could be expectation. It is the older codex and the one that the internet thinks needs 'replacing'.

But GW have been breaking allot of new ground recently. So for all we know we may get 5 Chaos Codex's, One for each God with both CSM and Daemons in it.

Not a bad thought. Or perhaps the CSM business will be handled in WD or minidexes, and a daemons codex will be around the corner. I have a feeling with WFB, the chaos codex will be first to drop.
Man, I really hope to avoid 5 separate books! Unless they're all "equally" good because they're properly fleshed out and well-conceived. $250 on books makes me cry.
I think that they could do a CSM codex, and a supplement book to each chaos god that would cover both daemons and CSM. this would give it a chance to really specialise each god specific army and splash in some daemon allies if they wanted.

Well there we go, looks like the Khorne release is going to follow up the Archaon release. I suspected they'd link together.
Can't wait! Gotta 1850 pt tourney in april and hopefully this stuff will help my army out some.
Freaking csm skullcrushers are rumored?!
They've been part of the rumor for a while, at least a year I think. And still, there has been nothing solid as of yet to substantiate their existence.

At first the rumor included rules for the alleged units, but quickly those were dispelled as wishlisty nonsense. However, the units and supplement supposedly existed (as of then) due to a screen capture of the cover. Then, recently, the info came back sans cover art, but still listed the same units as being a part of the codex.

Pllllllleeeease let it happen! Let it be real!
