Found this posted by Kaltenberg on Warseer:

Who knows whether it's real or not? Personally, I doubt it as I'd be expecting just some kind of hammer/shield rather than an actual army represented.

**thenoobbomb**

Hope its not rel.
Not nice enough.

**BrookM**

Looks legit enough

**NoBaconz4You**

I find it very hard to believe considering there's no sign of a 'war hammer', something that has appeared in some form or another on the front of almost every recent rulebook.

I could be wrong though.

Although there are DA on the front cover. I did think BT at first but the red arrow on the closest marine's shoulder pad made me think otherwise.

**ColdSadHungry**

Yeah, it may well be the DA codex which also means hardcover codices are confirmed for the future. I don't mind paying the hardback price for the main ruleset so much (would prefer a soft cover) but a codex too? We'll know in a few days anyway.

**unmercifulconker**

Yeah what chapter is that, thought it was the glorious BT but the red symbol has me confused

edit: Oh they look green, silly me

Hardback codex would seem logical.
They do that to WHFB too.
If hardback, expect full colour too.

**NoBaconz4You**

I think DA traditionally have red bolters too. I noticed that these editions of 40k don't have any hammers on them though.

And as you said, we'll find out soon anyway!

I like it, less is more.

Shouldn't be too long till the WD leaks.

Oops.

**Therion**

I'm pretty confident that's the real deal. It's new art clearly in GW's style, they've had Marines in the rulebook cover before and Dark Angels are rumoured to be in the starter box set.

It was actually posted by Wax on Heresy Online. Credit whom credit is due.

**lord_blackfang**

Looks kind of thin to be 440 pages. But it also can't be a Codex since it doesn't have the army name on the front. Colour me confused.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Oh look, space marines. Again.

We're only really getting 2 dimensions on it. Everything else appears to be an artifact of the lighting.

**Harriticus**

Horrible cover, it should stay with the theme of a Warhammer at the front and refrain from the use of any particular faction. Now it's just Space Marines 40,000.

**Imperial Monkey**

Its more likely to be the rulebook since it has the catchphrase at the bottom: "In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war."

But given the angle and expected thickness, the edge should be visible on the bottom. Unless it's an empty cover.

Truth in advertising, though.

**lord_blackfang**

If it is the cover, though, how long until we see some scans?

**Imperial Monkey**

That said, it looks more like a piece of codex art (ie. hero surrounded by fighting troops...) and is a cool picture.

**lord_blackfang**

Cover of the 4th edition mini rulebook. Just saying.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Do'h *bangs head on keyboard* red x, not sure wher its being hosted but my work block is laughing at me.

**Therion**

Edit

**English Assassin**

If genuine, disappointing, but not half so disappointing as the rumoured rule changes...

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

No joy.

If someone could please host it here and bring it back I can see it.. no need to sign up either, it just hosts stuff.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Ah nice, and thank you kind sir.

Dark Angels eh, would explain the White Dwarf spine and no Codex rumoured this year.
