40K RUMORS: The Months Ahead
Lots of books are headed our way in the months ahead Warhammer 40,000 fans. Lets break this down:
We are going to tackle this stuff by Codex and Supplemental Codex.
The Codices
Coming down the pipe are the following. We’re also hearing that the days of codices including units without models available at launch are over. Taking a look at the current books should give you a good hint of what units to look for when the new books ship.
-Space Marines (I’d guess synced up near Gamesday-UK)
-Tyranids Q1-14
-Imperial Guard (Q1-2 14)
-Orks ( after IG 14)
The Supplemental Codices
This seems to be GW’s big new initiative. Each of these are priced at $40 and should follow the format of the Iyanden book. So GW gets to mine their rich IP for a lot of fluff, color plates, special missions and 2 pages of new rules. We hear that the general ratioto look for is 3-4 Supplemental Codices for each Army Codex. I would expect some codices (Marines) to get more while others get less. These books have been specifically whispered by name:
Eldar
Iyanden (shipped)
(3 of the following 4: Saim-Hann, Ulthwe, Biel-Tan, Alaitoc)
Tau
Farsight Enclave (July 13th)
Space Marines
White Scars (launched alongside the SM codex)
Imperial Fists ~editor’s note: Black Templars included maybe?
Ultramarines
(others)
CSM
Black Legion (coming next after Farsight Enclave)
(other Traitor Legions)
Imperial Guard
Catachans
(others)
So who’s up for the supplemental codex future and what armies do you think deserve their’s the most?
