Why does the Codex have the 'Only available while stocks last' caveat?

It doesn't. It's the cards below it on the main page that are WSL.

Source of the Natfka rumors all in german but pretty easy to understand with google translate. Read the comments too as it sounds like their source is commenting. Salt and all but these guys are pretty legit and it does seem to jive with the WD batrep

Translated albeit automatically, better than nothing.

My Archon edition has been confirmed.
Bye bye monies.

This is indeed pretty strange. But GW didn't really give a damn for DE.

I can only laugh at Ltd. Codex prices now. £150 for the Archon edition.

For that money I'd expect it to cook me dinner and clean up after itself.

Having read the translation, that page just says it's a collection of rumours - no hard facts.

Looks like you're right. Dodgily-placed line separating the products. Phew.

Then I would recommend the Dracon edition. Slightly cheaper.

For that I'd still be expecting dinner, but I'd offer to do the dishes.

The normal codex is the only way to go. But still overpriced.

"It's also said that this people want to present even a few interesting facts about the new Codex ... Below you will find a first estimate, based on rumors (!), Which are to me so came from here and there to ears."

I feel bad about buying the Archon Edition, even discounted.

It's sad, because at £120 I'd have bought it with a smile, rather than bitterness.

The webway portal now grants you deepstrike to the model, his unit and their transport.

Silly and much less useful, but certainly cleans up the rules.

Wait...
DE character with webway portal joins Wraithguard with nasty flamers and deepstrikes without scatter down next to something....

rumors are most likely false.

All the new codexes include a LoW so far, the omission of it is telling that the rumors are made up.

additionally that they poster did not include formation/detachment info also is telling they do not have the new codex as that is currently a big thing towards army selection and certainly the new codex will have 1 formation 1 detachment.

they also did not mention the separate wyche / kabal relics which have been rumored.

The german site seems to just be a collection of rumors from other sites, and includes these bad rumors.

IIRC faeit has had mostly false rumors since the Nids codex.

TBH out of all of this I am really looking forward to the painting guide, as there really aren't any new model releases so far past the voidraven, everything "new" seems to just be old finecast sculpts redone in plastic, from the wracks to the new succubus. And already got those as finecast filled in with that crap green stuff paint they had to sell to fill in the the "fineholes" in their finecrap.

Yea that is all crap. The white noise is being repackaged and snowballing out from faeit22 and every time someone else repackages this crap it gets harder to separate it from truth. Wait for pictures fellas.

We may not know more until Wednesday. Nothing up on Apple store for preorder either.

UK store is listing the Datacards as no longer available already!?!

That removes my only reason for ordering direct. :-\

Mental

I preordered archon editor. I have no self control.

We have already got our "big" kit for this release. They never do 2 big kits, not even for marines. As sad as it may be, Vect probably got the axe. And really, with his ride, he was over 400pts. He'd not likely to see a lot of action anyways.

If they cut vect surely they will add a named archon. Wouldn't make since not to have one since kabals make up a 3rd of the army. (Im dividing d e up by kabals, cults, and covens)

Got my datacards ordered. I've never bought these things before, so here's hoping I'll enjoy them more than the 4 pack of beers I could have bought for the same price!

Space Wolves got a flier and a Lord of War character on custom ride.

Plus, the Void Raven has been around forever, so it's not like they had to design it.

Apologies if someone has done this, but I pulled the images file from datasheets on GW.com shown in the Archon edition.

Took them to Photoshop, cleaned them up to the best of my ability.

Here's what little I could glean.

Venoms are up to 65 pts base. There are 5 wargear options below it ranging from 10 pts to 30 pts. I can't make out what they are.

The first line is the most puzzling to me. I'll be damned if it doesn't say "45/model." I have no clue what it means. Perhaps 10 man squads can split into two venoms, getting the second at a 20 pt discount. I haven't really thought about what this means.

Court of the Archon is a "see below" for points, I'm assuming it's the same.

Beastmasters are "see below" so I expect unchanged.

It looks like Wracks are 50 pts, assuming that's a 5 squad now.

Ravagers appear to be 120 now

Haemonculi at 60.

Succubus is 40 before gear.

Other points listed are 150, 140, 50, 110 -- but I can't tell what they are.

Also we have special and basic character model for coven and wyches, generic archon, should also have vect. I'm intrigued for next week. Just 2 clampacks would be v weak

True, but that's all they got. We are getting a big flyer, 3 plastic characters and a box of plastic troops/elites. And just because the flyer was ready a long time ago, really means nothing. Pretty sure they don't base releases on when a model was created/designed.

Is that the new Archon and/or Succubus there? On the Black Library website

The Archon on the right looks really good.

Here's a good pic of the succubi

Notice there's no lord of war listed and no Vect in the HQ slot. Looking more and more like he is not in the codex.

Also a nice picture of the new succubus
