I just tried to buy the above in GW store (Watford, UK) but it was not on the shelves. Upon asking the staff member said they were told by management to take DH codexes off the shelves as there is a rumour the new one is out soon?!? Seems a bit weird to me as BA codex is out shortly but no mention of new DH codex in WD etc, anyone have any ideas aboout this??

I've heard many romours about this. Its coming soon and its not going to be a combined 'dex as others have siad.
But i havent heard about it being taken off the shelves. . . .

Cant wait if its really true. I was going to collect inquistion fully but I heard new stuff was possibly coming out so I am waiting for then. Menawhile my chaos army is being made better.

Witch hunters are ok inho. But its the DH that need an update, the new deamon codex really screwed them over. as instability was taken out and many powers revolve around those.

no, no real rumors. we basically have a hint as to what the next marine one is (ship based chapter, "winging" its way toward us, possibily dark angels) but no idea if the next one is actually a marine one.

Deamon Hunters arn't just marines (Grey Knights) They are the Ordo Mallleus too. Or does it count as a marine 'dex to GW?

no idea. there is no real info about them and the fact that they're generally left out of alot of supplements isn't a good sign (planetstrike, battlemissions, etc).

Sounds abit stupid of GW to combine WH and DH in one book, wouldn't they lose money ? unless they doubled the codex cost.

Yes they would and thats the only reason they arn't combining the two according to what i heard

So, no news.

And no rumour.

Just total speculation...

The only idea I have of why they are getting rid of the witch hunters and daemon hunters codex is so they can releases the ordo millitant ones for both grey knights and sisters and probable release a separate inquistion one with all three ordos.

That imo will ruin them and make it way over complicated.

I thought that was the point of this forum. It is not like there ever are any news or rumours here, just speculation. I was about to make a new thread `there could be alien life in a parallel universe where a being named Jervis Johnson and another going by the moniker HBMC are best friends'. Should I not?

how come you haven't heard about that? They've been off the GW site for a month or so now along with the 10 sister box of battle sisters

surely the black templars are more of a ship based chapter and in more need of an update than the DA.

Well then feth it, lets have another chat about the Dark Eldar, Genestealer cults, LatD and the expected creation date of the plastic wraithguard then.

Does anyone know when the next bit of terrain is getting released?

Will they ever do a warlord titan in plastic?

And do make your thread. It sounds like it might generate more interest than this one can currently muster.

Here's a 'zany' idea, why don't we let the person with some actual news start a thread.

It might alleviate the 'trawl 30 pages of wishlisting until you find a piece of news or actual rumour or picture' trend that seems to clutter the gak out of so many threads here.

I can easily see them combining the two codexes and making a strict organization chart.

Besides I would love to see what kind of psychic powers matt, robin, or phil can come up with for a chapter of marines that are all psykers.

Jaws of the Living Blood Lightning infused lance.. It has unlimited range and each enemy unit in its path takes D6 hits which they must pass an Init. test or be removed, if they pass they also take a S8 AP1 lance hit..

No seriously I think they should have some neat automatic powers similar to warlocks.

Maybe this will be the army to get the new plastic warhound titan someone once speculated on.

Nah, that's Codex Cadian Shock Troops.

And it'll be a multi-part Warhound/Fuzzybear pattern Titan.

What's wrong with all the other threads asking for DH news and rumours?

BTW, the German DH Codex is OOP for 3 years now, so what?

Wasn't there a recent thread by someone claiming to have seen early concept/miniatures for DH, WH and DE? It was from Warseer, IIRC. I think a few people rated the source as fairly credible...

I personally don't give a gak. Wanting information on something won't make it happen quicker.

How would they lose money?

They constantly release new codices as fast as they can. I don't see how combining them into one book would leave some kind of vacant codex release gap. Also there is so much redundancy between DH and WH codices that a well designed combined codex wouldn't be double the size of a regular codex.


My person opinion is that they should combine it. All of the units in it just seem to work so differently from a fluff perspective. They get their orders from the inquisition, they are more closely tied to terra than a space marine chapter which works independently for example.

If they were to be combined I think a good structure to go with would be, you choose a HQ (inquisitor xenos, hereticus, malleus etc, also canoness and greyknight captain) which lets you take other such units in the codex appropriate to that order.

A big question however is what will they decide to do about Allies, if that will remain in or not.

I'd be slightly annoyed if it was just DH (glorified Marine chapter) instead of either joint =][= codex or, even better, a non-Imperial 3E update.

But hey, at least they'd be taking care of an army that hasn't seen a new codex since 3E. Here's hoping for DE and Necrons on the soon side.

I was thinking of starting a DH army soon now that i hear there might be a new codex I don't know if i should wait or get the to codex just to have it. So many choices

If I understand correctly it means the Germans will get their DH codex 3 years before the rest of us!

My God...the Germans really did make a time machine!

OUT OF A VOLKSWAGEN!

Well, at a gamesday last year, Phil Kelly said he was working on grey knights. Whatever that means, I have no idea. You can find that tidbit on warseer last year.

I wouldn't expect any news until after the Orc redo in May. Blood Angels aren't even out yet, so GW will make a concerted effort to focus marketing and hype on them. It's possible after blood angels we might find out for sure what's going on. But for now, there's going to be a deadzone for rumors.

Copy paste of what I wrote in the other thread :

http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=55212

25/02/2010
PAGK were removed from all GW sites except US, Canadian and Australian.

Was told the justicar and some other model was up for 10% off on the Oz site, if this is true or not I dont know.
I have not even able to confirm it myself, when I tried to order the price was infact increased by 10% but that may have been because I live in Finland.

Yes I know they can still be found in Fast Attack but when you click them it says No Longer Available.

From what I hear a new codex of some sort can be expected this year, if its true or not I dont know.
Rumours say end of summer-autumn and it being the next 40k codex after BA.

Personally I think june and july will be fantasy 8ed and new rulebooks for some armies. If we see a GK/Inquisition this year I would think it will come in August but thats just my guess.

Some people not only demand instant news&rumours on their favorite army when they feel like it, they also demand it in their own thread. Remember, if they would read the news&rumour forum, they wouldn't start threads like this.

But Dakkadakka moderation seems to tolerate this pointless thread spam, as can be seen by 2 active DH threads, one active WH thread and 2 active Chaos threads at the moment.
