Can't say how I know, if you know what I mean... but I have it from a very good source that it's DE next.

Release date was quessed at around October time.

Interesting - we got the opposite view coming across this last weekend, as the next TF Campaign Weekend includes the Grey Knights as a selectable Codex (Note: not Daemonhunters).

Last time this happened was when building up for the Space Wolf release rumours - they suddenly were a codex choice whereas all the other Space Marine Legions in the Pre-Heresy had to use the standard Codex (not a separate one for Dark Angels or the Blood Angel PDF).

So which will it be Dark Eldar or Grey Knights?
My money is on the Grey Knights.

When's the TF event.... because of course, you wouldn't be able to tell if the DE Codex was new in that time as well as the name doesn't change?

Same thing I said when this came up in march.. wasn't this common knowledge for the last 6 months.. and we still have the concept that possibly a hidden space marine thing may be coming out first (greyknights/inquisition)even if it rings a little false.
When you say around october time, do you mean..september/october/november (as known for ever) or do you mean october the 18th?

AotE IV The Scourging is on the 11th/12th of September and would mean that the Grey Knights would have to released in August to give people time to buy & paint the lovely new models.

And it seems the Daemon release is scheduled for August as well - wonder who their arch nemesis is?

Bell of Lost Souls have been musing over the same thing recently:

I was told around October, and that 85% of the range would be relaunched/redone ;)

I wonder if the Grey Knights codex might be a WD release, like the 4th ed Blood Angels. This woud allow GW to bring their rules, stats and points up to put them back where they should be in relation to Space Marines and Daemons, but not need any new figures or a full codex print run. If it includes options to bring in Inquisition units from DH it'll tide the GK over for a couple more years.

Quick! Someone post Spack's ideas as a rumour on warseer.

Before you know it, half the web will think we're getting a DH WD dex...

Someone sent a terminator back in time to troll warseer with it, in the year 2010..

interesting one warseer had 4 days back was that GW was going to go the same route as certain asian countries and put witch hunters as a pdf over the summer.

(I'll predict, without reading, what the thread says.. "ohh well this skuppers inq", "no it doesn't if anything it reinforces it" "why" "trollface" "ugly" "patronising: because its only the WH not the DH and the rumour was that the WH would carry on with their exisiting codex and the inq was emphasising grey knights..you perma noob do you never read anything" " well I don't spend my life on the web" "get a life" "noob" "trolll" "dark eldar need a codex" "shut up" "chaos need a not crap codex" "ban him ban him with fire" "thread moved."... am I close?

I didn't think my idea was original, but I hadn't noticed it posted on Warseer.

As to the WH PDF, it's been confirmed that Spain is doing this - Germany and Japan has already been for years, as well as the DH PDF.
