I was hyped when this rumour first came out and have held off the separate codex's since and have saved some of my wallet for such an occasion. Looks like its finally happening this week. Hopefully anyway, I need this so badly.

Update 18/03/2015: Huge thanks to Warboss85 for these images, 40k Bloodthirster variants (In German).

I'll believe Resin when I see it.

While on the one hand, Yay we might be getting updated rules for Berserkers, Bloodletters, the Bloodthirster and Kharn. (Assuming this isn't just a lazy collection of the rules from CSM and CD)
On the other hand, this may be heralding a move from two Chaos codex to five+ Chaos codex (One for each god's Daemonkin and Undivided) and if that's the case, well my wallet is on the roof, gibbering like a lunatic and I think it's going to jump.

Also on the Resin model in the collection, it might be http://www.games-workshop.com/en-BE/Chaos-Daemons-Herald-of-Khorne as I doubt he sold very well with the state on non Juggernaut Khorne Heralds.

I will literally foam at the mouth if a Tzeentch one is released.

It would almost certainly be him, but it would be the first time a resin model's been put in a box set.

Very true. Could be a web bundle though? Resin Fleshhounds were part of this one http://www.games-workshop.com/en-BE/The-Blood-Hunt-Web-Bundle

EDIT: I'm a goddamn idiot, it's the Blood Hunt Web Bundle...

I want to hope.................

If I see a plastic LoC/Fateweaver type box I am getting it.. and I will probably freak because I would be guessing Tzeentch book would follow.

but blahblahblah hope is the blah blah blah right?

That one dosent have Fleshhounds, Unless I am missing something. It does have chaos warhounds from fantasy though

You're right, it was "The Blood Hunt Web Bundle" (http://www.games-workshop.com/en-BE/The-Blood-Hunt-Web-Bundle). Sorry for the confusion.

No new models? Could have at least updated the tired old Berzerkers.

Something tells me it's a supplement to both CSM and CD and that the only new stuff is the variant Bloodthirsters, Formations, Relics, and whatever the Blood for the Blood God cards are for.

Resin herald is probably this one-

Would of been the perfect time for plastic Fleshhounds and new Berserkers.

it's nice to see this release but if they don't do something with the delivery system for getting the marines into close combat then this will just be a fluff army (nothing wrong with that).

I hope they give the herald the option to take 3+ armor save which is needed.

My fear with this is that Khorne Daemons are going to lose the current Rewards system.
I mean the randomness can go die in a fire but being able to give out Axe of Khorne to Heralds and Bloodletter upgrade characters for 10pt at initiative AP2 is quite good.
In it's place I expect Hellblades will be the order of the day and instead we'll get one Relic AP2 Weapon (Maybe a Daemon Weapon), a Relic that grants a Armor or Invul save (2+ or 3++) a weird Leadership affecting relic that Fearless and ATSKNF are immune to and an anti-psyker relic that will probably grand Adamantium Will.
Of course the Chaos Space Marine side might get a bit of a benefit (recosted Berserkers would be nice) but unless the CSM side have full access to the CSM shooty options I fear it's another codex where they are sorely under powered in 1/2 of the game as we won't shoot nor be able to cast psychic powers.

Bloodletters need something to make them decent.

I don't know what that 'something' is. But they need it.

Indeed, I would love to see a Bloodletter with a big dumb gun. Like a 18" S5 AP- Rapid Fire or something. So they have good bite at close range and can actually make use of the BS5. Hell even if it was just a Bolter it'd still be an improvement over the Hellblade.

My other hope is that they either do away with the Champions of Chaos rule or give it the same rules as "Accept any challenge no matter the odds". But they'll probably keep it in it's current form and give it to the Chaos Daemons side too...

I'd be alright with Bloodletters being able to shoot fireballs from their Hellblades with the Soul Blaze rule. Along with everyone getting decapitating strike, hueheheh...

It is correct. The first three items are pretty much confirmed by URL checks by Atia on B&C and the original sources Sad Panda and Darnok haven't been wrong for a long time/at all. The Warband set is sold with a discount so it should be a box and not a webbundle

It would be awesome if Berzerker/CSM Champs/Chaos Lords could get an Axe of Khorne.

Which is why it won't happen.

I'm wondering if there will be an artifact that even comes close to the Axe of Blind Fury in terms of destructive potential.

Actually looking at that bundle, I guess the Resin Herald is probably going to be http://www.games-workshop.com/en-BE/Chaos-Daemons-Herald-of-Khorne-on-Juggernaut-of-Khorne as a Herald on foot wouldn't be able to join any of the CSM squads, unless the Daemonic Instability rule is getting chucked.

Nope the Baddrukk set for example had a FC Baddrukk and FC gretchins

I really hope this means they chuck out the whole Heralds can't join CSM squads. That'd be pretty awesome.

Also, Forgeworld has a similar detachment for Nurgle that has to be all Nurgle.

Looking forward to this. Could be the first good thing to happen to CSM in a very long time

That part interests me the most. In a game where almost every unit is bought (both in terms of $$$ and points) in multiples of five, the foam cases from GW have had rows of 9... grrrr!! If those numbers are true then finally GW may have wised up to that fact. I know there are third party foam makers that fix that issue but as an owner of about a half dozen large GW cases (I bought GW ones back when the small army transport cases were the only other option) it's always annoyed me.

I'm just worried that mix god/pure daemon army will be wrecked.

Updated Berzerkers would be cool, I remember when the current models came out, and they weren't that great then. Also if they finally made it decent... well, I always did like Khorne. BFTBG and all that.

I may or may not have considered doing a Khorne army based on the warband mentioned by name in the CSM book "The Revelation of Gore" because that is probably the most badass sounding name I've ever heard (nothing actually states they are Khornate, but with a name like that how can they not be). Also I want to literally slather models in blood effect paint (whether GW or otherwise) because why not?

Damn it, I don't have this kind of money :(

I never got why CSM and Daemons can't form squads together.
fluff wise it doesn't make sense.
It just seems like a lazy way of getting round the mixed unit daemonic instability crap.

I hope they throw away that rule and just have Daemons take morale checks like normal squads.

Well, to the best of my recollection, Daemons have always been largely immune to LD checks, and I don't think there's anything in the book currently you look at and think "if it weren't for Instability, that unit would be broken!"

As to not putting resin models in boxed sets? True, but they've put metal models in them before, and this is no different, resin/Finecast is just the modern metal equivalent.

As to the release in general? Woot.

Eternal Warrior on Thirsters and an I bonus for Bloodletters and I'll be happy (maybe with an anti psychic buff too)

I dont think we will see any major changes to the rules.
More likey a bunch of formations with weird but usefull special rules, perhaps for deepstriking delight.
I would like to see some buffs to the BT, but as the new fantasy versions stayed basicly the same, I dont have much hope for that.
