Rumoured Warhammer 40K Release List

The interwebz is buzzing with rumours and counter rumours with the 2012-13 release list for Warhammer 40K. However you look at it, this list is getting people excited...

Original thread
Scheduled release date from June 2013 onwards;
Originally appeared on theonering.net along with The Hobbit scheduled releases. The list below has been edited to only include 40k related releases;
General consensus is that it may be pretty legit and someone at GWHQ will be in serious trouble. Rumour has it someone got 
Games Workshop release plan - Q3 2013 


281041230110209 Imperial Agents Enforcer with Heavy Stubber

287018930140205 Freebooters Ogreen Kaptain
285000030110204 Cypher
Some non-specific Allies? The Imperial Agents are intriguing. Are these Imperial only allies or are these going to be apart of Codex: Sisters of Battle?

256145512010301 Tau Empire Nautilus Defence Platform
256146011840307 Tau Empire Mako
256145730740301 Commander Farsight
256146211440307 Tau Empire Vespid Stingwings / Vespid Spinewings
Looks like Tau will be getting an updated product line with the possibility of a new Codex. My question is the Commander Farsight going to be the same model in Finecast or will we see a new model that matches Commander Shadowsun in quality?

208284511450206 Eldar Wraithguard / Cataphracts
208284711550201 Eldar Sky Chariots / Shining Spears
208285011450208 Eldar Warpspiders / Everguard
208285230150200 Eldar Black Warden

208283512050200 Eldar Spirit Warrior
208283911550202 Eldar Dragon Riders
Is the Weway Gate the same as the Dark Eldar Portal or is it a Fortification that can be placed by the owner before the game... which means can it be destroyed like other buildings?

208286130150208 Eldar Fire Dragon Xentarch
208286230150207 Eldar Dire Avenger Xentarch
208286330150206 Eldar Howling Banshee Xentarch
208286430150205 Eldar Striking Scorpion Xentarch
208286530150204 The Avatar of the Young King
Looks like the Codex: Eldar rumours from the Pinktastic Blog may hold some water... that or this is an elaborate hoax that is pulling together a huge range of rumours and wish lists.

206304711540308 Chaos Bike Squadron
206305211440303 Chaos Noise Marines
206304811440300 Chaos Thousand Sons
999030530110288 White Dwarf 

200462312010203 Space Marine Astartes Battle Fortress Defence Wall  
200462412010202 Space Marine Astartes Battle Fortress Tower / Pillar of Heroes
200462512340209 Space Marine Astartes Battle Fortress Monastery 
Some terrain for Games Workshops Flagship... no surprises there. Also an AA Gun further down the list.  Either there will be a Supplementary book with more 40K Fortifications OR the rules will be released in White Dwarf.

208281612050205 Eldar Lamia Strike Fighter / Moon Siren Bomber
208283611550205 Eldar Jetbikes
208287930150207 Eldar Warlock with Force Staff

200470512040203 Space Marine Land Avenger
200468512010203 Space Marine Praetor Warmachine
200465411540206 Space Marine Bike Squadron / Crusader Bike Squadron
200467830740205 Space Marine Skyshatter Cannon AA version of Thunderfire Cannon?
200469630140209 Space Marine Terminator First Hand  ?Iron Hands or Independent Character
200469230140203 Space Marine Librarian with Jump Pack
Theory has it that the Land Avenger is a cross between land Raider and predator. My own thoughts are that it is an upsized version of the Land Speeder. No clue what the Praetor Warmachine will actually be... hard to imagine it fitting into the Space Marine fluff without it being another retarded Dreadknight. Also notice the Crusader Bike Squadron and the Space Marine Neophytes below.

200462811440204 Space Marine Neophytes
200464511440201 Space Marine Techmarine with Artificer Squad
200468011440204 Space Marine Sword Brethren / Nightflame Veteran Squad ?Salamander Veterans
200472230140203 Space Marine Librarian Epistolary
200475630110203 Paladin Marshall Sieghelm
Speculations are that Black Templars are going to be folded back into Codex: Space Marines. The other theory is that Black Templars and Salamanders will be getting back together again like in Codex: Armageddon. Or it is all lies and we will keep our own precious Codex: Black Templars.

201288330140208 Boss-Kommissa Grotzki
If these rumours are to be believed it looks like there will be a total of SIX SoB, Tau, Eldar, Space Marines, Black Templars AND Orks codices released in this time released schedule... something that goes against Games Workshops regular pattern. However, the Chaos Daemons White Dwarf update suggests that Games Workshop is moving towards a more organic approach to rules updates. We may see new units without a supporting codex. This would force players to buy White Dwarf in ordered to get the rules or wait until the hope rules become available on GW website.

200461211440203 Space Marine Scouts with Astartes Grenade Launchers
200467911540205 Space Marine Gale Claw Supremacy Fighter
200465011440203 Space Marine Space Marine Tactical Squad
200465512010202 Space Marine Land Raider Medusa
Looks like there will be even MAWR! Space Marine haters with another flyer and a new Land Raider variation. My guess it is an Iron Hand variation in the same way that the Land Raider Acres is a Dark Angel Variation. Plus it looks like the very out dated Space Marine Tactical box set will be updated to match the quality AND quantity of the other Space Marine Kits.

My own speculations and thoughts are in purple italics. Nineswords has taken a break down of the codes found in the thread and tried to decipher the meaning of them.
