And if they kept up the 2 codex/month schedule, they'd have finished all their factions, and sub factions, within 18 months. Then what would they do?
They have explicitly said that is what they want to do.
After they have updated versions of every existing codex, they can move on to new books like emperor's Children, Kroot etc and also start to do campaign books like the gathering storm releases again.
In Jan to March they released legions of Nagash, maggotkin of Nurgle, Daughters of Khaine, gang war 2, Forgebane, some Shadespire stuff and 5 codexes. There is no reason based on current evidence why they can't continue to do one codex a month and new Aos releases at the same time.
If this is a list of miniature waves rather than codexes it is much more believable. The earlier rumour which has largely been proven correct had the ork book in June but some new ork minis at the end of the year, perhaps alongside Gorkamorka. This seems much more plausible then delaying the ork codex so much.
I would expect to see genestealer cults, deathwatch and the like get codexes this year, probably with minimal miniature support.
In any case we will get a few more of the details filled in on Wednesday at the adepticon seminar.
