Well not really a new edition, but this summer GW will be releasing 3 new rule sets.
An expanded set based on the current rules, a new narrative campaign style and a tournament central set with point values.
I know a lot of the old fantasy players main gripe with the game was a lack of point value, so this could be an example of GW see'ing their experiment failed and listened to the customer base.

They may have saved themselves. I'd like to see the narrative stuff too. I'll definitely keep.an eye our. Was sad to see fantasy die like that here.

Lots of info coming in from various places, even word that GW is working with podcasts to get factual info out there.
GW is working with tournament organizers to get the stuff right
- There will be points
- There will be unit categories similiar to 40k, Leaders, Battle Line Units, Behemoths and Warmachines (working titles).
- You build your army similiar to 40k now, so you have Battalions and some kind of FoC, depeneding on the points size of your army
- Core Rules + FAQ's stay the same.
- Books are not invalidated
- All warscrolls get points, even Tombkings/Squattonia
- Basically it's Unbound, Story Mode and Tournament Mode
- Open play is basically Unbound or Apocalypse, including rules for multi player battles
- Narrative Play will give you campaign rules similiar to FW's Imperial Armour/HH Campaigns
Details are:
First thing, its a book and will be release in the summer.
There are 5 new campaigns including path to glory,
22 new battle plans from small games all the way up to epic battles between the games biggest characters.
6 new ‘Pitched Battle’ scenarios
Multi-player and team play and of course,
full points values for every Warscroll in Age of Sigmar.
Those are all copied from other sources, but all sounds very positive.
I'll tell ya, changing out CO's has really turned the company around already.

More new info, and I love, repeat love this.
There will be a globel campaign for AoS coming up in a few weeks/months time.
It will have it's own website.
A living map.
All results will lead into the next book.
Details are still being finished.
A new start up section is coming for AoS with kits starting at £5 up.
On the finance front.
AoS is actually doing as well if not better then 40k in some areas.
There has been a decline in shop sales but with summer coming GW hope this should pick up.
Also.
No more leaks!
GW are going are no longer going to be holding back info.
You will know as soon as it happens.
GW used to do things like this years ago, cant wait to see how well it goes.

If these rumours are true I might be compelled to start an Orc army

So this is now pretty much confirmed by GW, will include rules for campaigns as well as point costs for models. This will pair great with the new Wood Elf models.  |

Very cool, I'm definitely interested in trying things out with an actual legitimate points system.
