Im Februar 2010 erscheint das Armeebuch der Tiermenschen, der unentbehrliche Leitfaden für die Kinder des Chaos. Dieses neue 96-seitige Buch enthält alles, was du brauchst, um die Tiermenschen auf die Schlachtfelder der Warhammer-Welt loszulassen. Die Hintergrundsektion ist randvoll mit Geschichten und stellt die wilden und grausamen Tiermschen vor. Sie schildert den niemals endenden Krieg gegen die zivilisierten Völker. Die Citadel-Miniaturen, aus denen das Tiermenschen-Sortiment besteht, werden im Farbteil vorgestellt und wurden vom weltbekannten 'Eavy-Metal-Team bemalt. Das Buch enthält zudem ein komplette Bestiariumseinträge für jede Tiermenschen-Einheit der Armee wie auch die Regeln, die du benötigst, um sie in deinen Spielen einzusetzen.
Neben dem Armeebuch wird das Erscheinen der Tiermschen von einer fantastischen Reihe neuer Citadel-Miniaturen begleitet. Einzelheiten dazu wirst du im White Dwarf und hier auf der Webseite von Games Workshop finden. Halte also deine Augen nach weiteren Details offen.
Bei Warseer wird schon etwas länger über die Tiermenschen diskutiert.

It is not my intention to imply that only these rumours may be discussed, only that these are the ones I have determined to be strong enough to put in a summary (and have actually read).
People should feel free to post and discuss anything that they hear, regardless of the source, but the Summary will only ever include those rumours which I feel deserve to be here.
[SIZE="4"]General info[/SIZE]
Release is February 2010, after Tyranids, with advance orders starting January 4th.
Was to be written by Andy Hoare, but he has since quit Games Workshop.
The name of the book has changed from "Beasts of Chaos" to "Beastmen".

Army-wide Special Rules, Magic Lores, and Magic Items
Ambush is supposedly staying much the same, though it has been suggested that it will no longer be dependant on the General.
No news on Unruly.
An "all new magic lore" (singular) has been promised. believed to be a consolidated version of the Lores of Chaos, but rather an entirely new "Lore of the Dark Forest".
Alongside Magic Items, "Mutations" will be available in the same way as WoC Gifts or Vampire Powers, operating on the same budgetary lines. Bonuses, like Scaly Skin, extra Strength and Movement are expected, as well as more esoteric abilities like Breath Weapons. Multiples of the same Mutation are expected to be allowed.
The traditional marking system may have been scrapped, in keeping with the less obvious devotion to the Godly "cults" of Chaos.
*Note, army-list slots are representative only until more solid rumours appear*
Lords & Heroes
Beastlord/Wargor – Ld 9, T5, with appropriate price hikes. May take Chaos Armour. May be accompanied by a 'pet' US3 Beast Spawn.
Great Bray-Shaman/Bray-Shaman – May be able to take a Herdstone, in the same manner as an Anvil/Casket. Beast Spawn as above.
Doombull– A metal box set release is confirmed; it is assumed that the Doombull will still allow Minotaurs as Core.
Centigor Hero - Aside from the Centigor Special Character, it has been rumoured that there will be a Centigor character available as a standard Hero choice. However, this may be a mutation rather than a seperate choice.
Daemon Prince? - No longer believed to be in the list.
Core
Beast Herds - No new models are expected, though Gors and Ungors are to be split into two seperate Plastic Boxes. Ranking issues to be fixed. Supposedly the champion will no longer provide +1Ld. Some sort of Scout option is believed to be available.
Bestigor Herds – New Plastic Models.
Warhounds - Varieties of Warhounds allowed through upgrades - Hunting, Guarding, etc.
Centigor? – Rumoured to be moved to Core. Fast Cavalry. Supposedly armour options will be available.
Special
Tuskgor Chariots – Believed to be 2-4-1.
Minotaurs – New plastic models. Believed to still be Core with Doombull.
Dragon Ogres? - Possibly dropped. On the one hand, they are thought not to 'fit' with the new Beasts 'feel'. On the other, plastic Dragon Ogres are also rumoured.
Chaos Trolls? - Very possibly dropped.
Harpies/Gargoyles/Gorgoyles - Rumoured flying infantry.
Razorgor - The previously mentioned "Gruulgor". A single model, reportedly similar in appearance to a warthog. Possibly a large Tuskgor.
Rare
Chaos Giant – As in WoC book.
Spawn – Assumed to be in WoC book. Possibility of slight changes.
Gorgon – A new monster. Supposedly on a chariot-base, with Movement 8 and stats in the 5s, with Impact Hits and a Breathweapon. Model is probable, but unconfirmed.
Dragon Ogre Shaggoth? - Possibly dropped. Even less likely to appear than the Dragon Ogres.
Herdstone/Dark Heart? – In the same vein as a Corpse Cart, Warshrine, and Screaming Bell, a Herdstone with the ability to buff nearby units might be expected. However, it may be an upgrade/"mount" for the Bray-Shaman. A "giant evil tree/corrupt treeman" has also been suggested, "dark heart of the forest" style.
Special Characters
All the Special Characters from the last book are believed to in this one. New ones talked about include:
- A Daemon Prince. May have Bloodthirster-level stats. Possibly Nurgle/Slaanesh marked.
- A Minotaur character dragging a Herdstone (as seen in the Rare and Bray-Shaman entries). May be a Champion upgrade.
- A Foe-Render character with the +1Ld of the old book, among other things.
- The Thing From The Woods, a giant Warhound/Spawn from Mordheim.
- A Centigor character with special Drunken rules and a magical Great Weapon.
- A Tzeentchian Bray-Shaman with a raven's head.[SIZE="4"]Models and Army Book[/SIZE]

* The same applies to Centigors, who are now a metal box at £35.
- Gorgon Model, likely plastic considering recent "monstrous" releases.
- Presumably new Special Characters in metal.
- Plastic Dragon Ogres are heavily rumoured for release, though as part of a second wave for Warriors of Chaos.
Other Thoughts
It seems strange that, after all the new units of recent books (Warshrine & Forsaken / Razordon & Engine / Corpse Cart & Blood Knights & Varghulf / Doomwheel & Verminlord & Abomination & Plague Furnace & Mortar & so on) Beasts of Chaos, an army list that's lost quite a bit in the Chaos Split, would only gain the new Gorgon and maybe Harpies/Gargoyles. I, for one, expect a few more shiny new units to be popping their heads from between the dark trees of the rumour-forest as the release date draws closer.
