Second problem is that you have no credibility, you've never done rumors posts before, and your source is someone you haven't even met IRL, and you can't even disclose the information of who you're e-mailing, just that it's someones brother and we're to trust you, because you trust him.

First off, Don't bother posting in a rumour mill thread if you aren't even going to read all of the first post.

Second, I think rule #1 is to be polite, which you were not.

See, I can do that too. On the topic at hand though, I would be a happy player to see half of this come through.

Oh no, you got me bro! I guess what I've said has no credibility now because they've met, it all must be true!

Also, yeah this whole post is full to the brim of just super polite overly nice people. Sunshine and Unicorns bro, peace be with you.

Someone mentioned Unicorns?
How about magical leupluradons giving out rumors?

Why is anyone doubting this?

This is the most believeable 6th edition rumor set yet to be revealed. Marinehammer 40,000's 6th edition boxed set will be Green Marines vs Spiky Marines.

Plus, the OP can't remember if the Marine codex after Necrons is Eldar or Dark Angel Marines. Basically that means the Eldar will be converted wholly into Elf Marines with Space Marine statlines. All theri Aspect Warriors from Scorpion Marines to Wraithmarines to Dreadwraiths will be Marines-ized.

The Tau are going to be squatted because they're not Marines.

Also, the Spiky Marines Chaos Space Marines will inevitably get marines a codex marines soon marines. Marines marines marines.

MOST over used and tired refrence on Dakka, the use of the word WHINE. just because someone protests something does not make it whining. Get over it dakka.

On topic. When i was in LA i heard nearly the same rumor concerning the chaos legion codex from a freind who knows someone. He told me he was certain it was in the pipe. I know this rumor has been around a while, but none the less this is interesting.

Actually, Marine Hate might be the actual most overused reference on Dakka Dakka!

Anyway, yes, bring on Codex: Traitor Legions!

perhaps Alpharius but right now whine is comming up more and more.

On topic. I would love to see a chaos vrs marine box set for 6th. might even buy it.

Absolutionis thanks for that extra kick in the crotch. lol

Well I hope Eldar won't be the meatshield codex of 6th edition...

Sweet stuff; rumors about Chaos Legions are always welcome in my book. Thanks for sharing, OP.

I was hoping for Chaos Vs. Eldar so I could get back into 40k with a new edition and buy two of my favorite armies. But if I'm honest it's probably a good thing that's not the case cause I would end up giving GW all of my money and go bankrupt in the process.

Don't worry. The squats were eaten by Tyranids, but your beloved Tau got eaten by Ultramarines (Tyranids are being phased out for not being Marines)! The Ultramarines stole all the Tau's Pulse Rifles. Their 6th edition Marinedex will have all the stuff you love about Tau... but with Marine profiles!

Pew pew pew! For the Greater Emperor!

I could see somebody from GW pitching a traitor guard codex, but there is no need for one. As a traitor guard player I'm perfectly happy using the 5th ed IG code and having the traitor aspect being purely cosmetic.

Chaos Legions makes me excited, but Tau makes me sad :(

Thanks for the post.

And I find the news about the Tau very very disappointing. I am starting to think I might have time to start an finish a Tyranid army (after I finish my current SM force) before the Tau ever get done now.

Love than Dornian Heresy picture.


Anyway, yeah, these rumours don't seem far fetched at all. I can see a Dark Angel v Chaos Marine starter-box to be honest.

4) I really wanted to get news about the Tau. Heartbreakingly he said that the Tau are not even being talked about at this point. They are way out in the lineup.

*sucks in a deep breath*
NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo

i was hoping i would get some love like in the next 6 mos or so

If we're lucky on the new starter, it'll actually allow us to field WYSIWYG legal armies (albeit tiny!)

I'd actually like to thank the OP for the info... true or not, I'm more inclined to believe it because there is a distinct lack of Sisters of Battle rumors or Tau rumors... and I know that GW doesn't give a crap about them, thus by proxy I'm inclined to believe his info.

However: The OP mentioned Necrons along with words such as 'released' and 'soon'... so I'm half inclined to NOT believe the OP...

Therefore: I HALF believe the OP.

So, OP, half of my thanks to you

Think of it like this, the Dark Angles get Terminators(5), Bikes(3), a Land Speeder, and some marines.

On the other hand chaos gets some legion specific marines, some chaos deamons, and possibly even a deamon prince.

Doesn't sound impossible to me.

I don't know. I just can't see to MEQs in one box. Personally, I think it's going to be Eldar vs Chaos Space Marines, that way you have one MEQ, one Xenos. CSM don't count as xenos, right?

Ya, but having a good marine vs an evil marine does keep the starter set incredibly balanced for new players; plus it helps capitalize off of the Space Marine video game. I can totally see them doing this

The video game point is good one. I think that their CSMs will look more renege (no horns) so that they can be converted to normal marines. Whatever, I play Orks.

I approve of Asedai's post
be expecting lots of plastic cultists.

Hey OP, thanks for the info. Personally I too have a friend, who is the brother of GW's head designer. He told me (under oath of secrecy) that WH40k is being shut down to focus on lord of the rings trademark stuff, since the Hobbit is coming to screens. Fortunately, my uncle who works at nintendo is getting me advance copies of the new games early, so I will still have stuff to do. Don't say you don't believe me, cause my cousin is in the special forces and taught me how to paralyse people with my fists.

In case I'm not making this clear via sarcasm, I don't think it's bad of the OP to pass on this info - but his anonymous friend is obviously one of those blokes who needs to make up stories to get attention, and the OP seems pretty naive for believing it so completely.

You know, the whole "brother" thing is pretty easy for the OP to check the plausibility of with the "last name" feature. I know you probably didn't think about that, you were too busy trying to muster all your wit for a sarcastic post.

Kreedos wrote:Once again, I was being sarcastic. Oh internet why have you forsaken me.

It’s hard to convey tone on the internet hence why a lot of people use [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags. It’s easy for sarcasm to appear as trolling/flaming without clear comic direction.

Kudos to the OP regarding the info. Seems fairly plausible and in synch with the other stuff we’ve heard. Hopefully we hear some rumours about the actual contents of the Legions codex (rather than more repeats of the existence of the codex).

I really need a device to measure my misanthropy. Sheesh, this post is bringing out all types.

Personally I too have a friend

Now that is a salt-worthy claim. Your sarcasm, though cute, is not appreciated.

What cracks me up is that you're still mad, and still conveying the fact that you're mad. You realize that's just fuel for the... wait you don't realize. My bad, allow me to enlighten you on a few things you may have missed.

I think your frustration, obvious annoyance and anger over your post being challenged as a legit rumor mill post is cute, and your long winded replies only generate further lawls to be had on your behalf.

You're very naive to think that posting rumors, without any credibility, or being able to tell anything at all about your source and it's legitimacy, is going to be taken seriously.
Not only that, this is the internet, have you been around recently? It's not exactly Carebear cloud palace.

Also, sarcasm is almost never appreciated when it's directed at you, that's why it's not called "being super nice". You don't need to point out the obvious.

Lastly you are very dramatic in your replies, which will just generate more fuel for the troll fire "Don't feed the trolls", you must have missed that general rule in regards with anything to do with the internet.

I think you might want to Google "Rules of the internet" I think there's an abundance of knowledge for the taking that might be of great benefit in future endeavors in dakka dakka, and the big scary world wide web.

Lol, you have a friend, good for you!

Back to reality, I'd love for a DA vs CSM starter set, because I'm looking to start DA and I think CSM are pimping.

Codex Chaos Legions sounds immense and am greatly looking forward to this.

Thanks for the info

Well, ignoring the hate, sarcasm etc. (which I do not understand frankly) the news are interesting.

We will see by next year if they are true or not. A change on Chaos Legions would be appreciated since this dex is horrible :\. The only thing that I do not like is that MEQ will be powered up as always leaving other races behind. I love it as a Marine player, but I do understand that this is absurd.

Thanks for sharing, and if you have more news please write them down!
