The News part is this:
Warhammer 8th ed is due to be released in the second half of this year.
Now for the rumours!
The starter box will contain Skaven and High Elves. Contents including plastic pegasus, plastic skaven weapons teams, plastic terrain. Also the usual core choices and a hero or two for each army.
There are quite a few rules changes and the biggest rumour so far is how combat is sorted. No longer will combat get bogged down over many turns. It has been stated from different sources that combat will now be resolved in one turn. Turns for attacking alternate until one side is wiped out or fleeing.
Lapping around will see a comeback. I would say this is poor form but if the above rumour about combat is true then it makes sense to me.
Magic is getting a bot of a facelift with rules changes in regards to misfires and irresistable force. Irresistable force will have a drawback and misfires will be more harsh but harder to come by.
Army building will revert back to the old percentages system; 25% heroes, 50%min core etc.
It will be less of a game of geometry with movement being handled differently.
