From The Dark General on Warseer
The new Codex is done, and yeah, it should be leaving the printers shortly, to be stored up in ware houses for distribution within the next couple of months. As for models, apparently 4 waves are planned...there's a lot of Chaos to be covered. With the Daemons to be redone sometime next year (2013) for both 40K and Fantasy, we'll see the new Greater Daemon models then.
Interesting that vehicle upgrades have been brought up, especially for Legion specific types of weapons, and apparently we do get some similar to the old "3.5" codex in these. Poisoned flamers for Nurgle, higher strength/lower AP for Tzeentch, sonic weaponry for Slaanesh and brutal blades for Khorne? Raptors are Night Lords, where as Assault Marines are all Legions and can be marked.
As i've already mentioned, HQs will have an affect on the types of units/marks available to your Army. IF 6th Edition returns to Percentages, the Codex will make more sense...

Hope you Chaos types are looking forward to the new codex. I for one will be happy to stop hearing about all the whining about how bad Chaos is now! :-)

It'll just be whining about different things. Those that complain now will soon be complaining about whatever it is in the new book that's not as powerful and/or cheap as it is now.
ReplyDelete@sonsoftaurus: And yet... sales are up 40%. People are so full of crap. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see what they do with Chaos Marines.
I'm fucking excited! and i'm tired of hearing about chaos players whining! Are codex is one of the best right now, we have the best troops in a troops centered edition.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to a new dex! I think I am going to give my old 3.5 dex a shot this week against a new codex. It should be interesting!
