I apologize if this has been covered in previous threads all the ones I found were not very informative.

There were strong suggestions of blood angels were to be released after Tyranids and Lo, and behold they are.

Does anyone have any Idea as to what the next Codex will be? (Note please don't turn this into a "but my army needs it more!" rant)

I know what at least one other Codex this year will be, though not sure of the month yet.

I don't think anybody but the people at GW are sure yet. There are rumors of Tau getting a new 'dex this year, since (IIRC) Forgeworld started recasting the old Imperial Armour 3 models (The various XV8x suits as well as Shas'o R'myr). I think I also recall mention of another Marine codex sometime later this year, possibly Black Templar or Dark Angels.

To prepare for 8th WFB release, there would not be too many 40K release this year. One 40K race release after BA seems reasonable. Maybe another in the end of the year.

And usually GW would not put 2 imperial release running together...

Codex: Squat Empires. They even get Zoats and Imperial Jetbikers as allies.

You're killing me with this Brass lol. In the other thread you mentioned "Think a lighter color armor for later in 2010. ". Grey Knights? . . . Anything lighter than black blarrrrrgghhh must have info!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
One thing I've noticed about whatever the next codex is, is how tight lipped GW is being. . . I saw BA rumors at least 4-5 months ago and I've seen CONFIRMED rumors since october. What's the deal with this next dex?

No 2 imperial releases together?
C: Sm
C:IG
C: Space Wolves

All in a row.

I could see people being upset by 2 Marine releases in a row, but then again does GW really take that into consideration?

The fabled new race GW plans to bring about? LatD!? :O :O :O lol i wish

When did this go from being the 'News & Rumour' forum to the 'I know something you don't know!!!' forum?

Cool. Feel like telling us? Otherwise your post contributes nothing.

I am hearing that Dark Eldar are going to be released in October.

Didn't know they ever stopped casting them...will need to pay more attention.

AJC

"?" added to the title.

Amazingly enough, everyone resisted the "?" rage up to this point!

I'm so proud of all of you!!!

I know its kinda "Conspiricy Theory" but the longest GW has had between Army codices for W40k to date would be 7 years, this would mean that the next logical order would be somewhat along the lines of...

Necrons (just barely late)- Inquisition (both got their last editions in 2003) - DE.

Assuming they keep up the 7 year max (Orks were 2001 -2008)

But obviously, the success of their other IP ventures would effect this decision (DOW2 Expansion, SpaceMarine ((the new VG)) Ultramarines, etc).

What?

Dark Eldar was released back in 98'

Space Wolves had to wait 9 years, dark eldar are on their 12th, I think you have some wrong information.

Dark Eldar's Second edition 3rd Edition book came out in 2k3 (this was the one that included Vect as playable, Vehicle upgrades such as Night Shields etc, Arcane Wargear, and other special characters as well as misc changes to various units)


As far as SW is concerned... For some reason I recalled them being mixed up in the 4th edition linup with BT, DA, etc... my B

Although its not 40k, I believe the consensus is that WH Fantasy Tomb Kings comes out after Blood Angels . . . . although some of the Ogre Kingdoms folks have been claiming theirs is coming out. Hard to predict as there isn't a set date for 8th edition Fantasy being released.

Cool. Feel like telling us? Otherwise your post contributes nothing.

Unfortunately, when I have info like this I usually don't share it at all so as to avoid getting anyone in hot water and I did agree not to blab too much on this when I was slipped some info recently. However, I've already seen others posting the exact correct info as it was given to them by staff members at GW stores around the country, so I felt like I could chime in a little bit on it since others have already spilled the beans. In other words, many people are already posting it and are correct even though they're at times a bit unsure about it. Honestly, you really already know what it is since you're paying attention to this topic and related ones. There have been many posts about it recently, including a Jan. 13 topic on one of the most popular Warhammer blog sites. Forgive me for being a bit cryptic, but don't all the good advance info suppliers on forums follow that path?

Interestingly, one of the few times I had a huge lead on advance information and felt I could post it, no one believed it except for Harry at Warseer who also knew about it months ahead and messaged me with his personal support at the time. Specifically, I posted that 5th edition 40K was coming 6 to 8 months ahead of time on that other forum a couple years ago and the post was met with derision. I also ceased participating in that forum shortly thereafter. My experience there as a whole, except for Harry and a few others, was very negative.

Well, the trend has been a codex dissapears or is listed as no longer available on their website and a month or so later they announce the release coming. This has happened to both tyranids and blood angels now. if you notice witch hunters and daemon hunters codex's are no longer listed for sale. That and my brothers fiance playing witch hunters, found out the 10 man box set of battle sisters is no longer for sale as well. We checked at several stores as they all told us they are out of stock and can no longer get it. Just my guess though, hope its true i like both of those armies and they really need a new codex. a combined one would be great.

My money's on a DH/Inquisition codex this summer. If GW doesn't release a new Necron, Tau, or DE codex by the end of the year, I think we'll all be pretty disappointed in GW both as a fan base and economically.

Question is WTF is for WFB after Beastmen...haven't a damn clue.

the trend has been a codex dissapears or is listed as no longer available on their website and a month or so later they announce the release coming.

In this case it will be a bit more than a couple months, but the logic is otherwise sound.

Jan 13, BOLS. Inquisition. Boo.

Putting my fingers in my ears and stubbornly clinging to Black Templar hopes.

@BrassScorpion: If I'm interpretting you correctly, then I'm a happy person.

Couldnt you just make a second Dakka account to post said info, thus indemnifying you from revealing any information or getting anyone in any particular trouble?

Even if your sources check out and you are very reputable as it is (which I am in no means of denying, just to clarify) a rumor is still a rumor. It shouldn't matter where the source. If you are correct, you are doing a service to the community. If the rumor is incorrect, we are all just where we started, still in the blank, either way, everyone wins.

It doesn't matter who leaks the information, it'll get someone in trouble. If not everyone. When that happens, the other posters who give little tidbits of information clam up because someone fethed up. Then there's professionalism, you don't just blurt out information when you're not supposed to, out of respect for your company/the person who gave it to you.

Seriously, wrap your head around that and you'll realize how asinine what you said is.

Sorry for the lack of ?'s I guess I hadn't thought that through too well.

Our local store was hinting at an Inquisition codex for Autumn back in October.

Hard to believe that after close to a year later he might be right. Then again it could be that they are just pulling it. (Not likely but still. . .)

Didn't Harry from Warseer mention that it would be quite a while untill we got an Inq codex?

Releasing info willy nilly that you know (By either worknig at GW or having freinds that do) will just get people fired, and knowing 2 months ahead of time shouldn't be important enough for us to ask that of someone.

So ultimately, WHAT is the point of posting "I know something, but I can't tell you!"?

If someone is going to post that, shouldn't they instead post NOTHING?

Or, in other words, not at all?

Mm. Glad I'm stocking up on my Deathwatch shoulderpads.

Welp, visibly I was off-topic and someone took it the wrong way
