Hi,
BolS just posted a small set of rumours, basically repeating what ghost21 said several weeks ago, but with a new release date for Chaos Legions:

Oh, the birds are a tweet tweeting... Here's the latest scuttlebutt out there on what's coming down the pipe for Warhammer 40000...

So we all know this summer is Sisters of Battle in White Dwarf.

Next up is Necrons said to be in the November time slot (same as Dark Eldar last year)

Then Chaos Legions in the March 2012 time slot (same as the Grey Knights slot). This is said to not be a replacement for the current Chaos Space Marines book which may get some retconing and erratas to make it effectively the Chaos Renegade book come 6th Edition.

Yes I did mention 6th Edition - said to be hot on the heels of the Chaos Legion book, taking up next summer with the standard multi-month new edition release slot.

**H.B.M.C.**

Dear BoLS,

Never change.

Thats cool. Should be a good year for 40k.

**Moopy**

This makes sense to me. Marine should be in the main box (they always are) and if Chaos is the first 6th ed codex out of the gate, it will be a strong contender for the marines to fight.

**Laughing Man**

Angry Marines vs Evil Angry Marines! FIGHT!

**JoeyHeadwounds**

March would make me happy, since it's my birth month.
Honestly, I'm more concerned with the content of this rumored CSM release... so anyone got some knowledge that they shouldn't have?

**iproxtaco**

If Chaos Legions gives a heap of Legion specific rules and units, then yeah, it is a damn replacement for the shameful attempt at a Codex that was Codex : Chaos Space Marine 4th ed for those who play a Legion army.

**Ehsteve**

You're saying I will soon be able to play competitive 750/1000 point games with my CSM? Sick of having to write 2000pts so I can fit in 25 meltas. That and 50pt lascannon havocs, they're doing nothing but gathering dust on the shelves atm. Not to mention I have a tonne of lascannons left over from all the Iron Warrior conversion kits, be good to have a use for them.

For some reason havocs are only useable as suicide melta squads. They're havocs, not fire dragons!

**ChiliPowderKeg**

Tau get dumped further into the backburner...

Wellp, it's a good thing I have a two years old force of poorly painted Chaos Marines lying around or else I'd still be on my full year losing streak for when 6th edition comes out.

**darkPrince010**

Tau? What about Tau? Any new codex for the Tau?... Tau?.... Tau?TAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUU....

Forever a drone...

**Nvs**

With the rumors of the starter boxes being Chaos and Dark Angels it's reasonable to think that chaos could be out early for 6th.

**Rbb**

Man, I hope this is true. Is it too much to ask for to wish that Phil Kelley write it?

**Noisy_Marine**

Meh.

If there really is a Chaos Legions book I reserve judgement until I see it. GW has a lot to make up for.

**MadCowCrazy**

Hmm, so what happened to the Tau we have been hearing about? What of a proper release for the Sisters?

Silly Tau, new books are for marines.

**juraigamer**

My tau, so sad...

But my chaos... MUWHAAHHAHAHA

**H.B.M.C.**

*looks at current 'Chaos' Codex*

Well... it certainly can't get any worse can it?

Wait... who would be writing it? Not... him...

...Oh come on, maybe Draigo will end up with something carved into his heart...

**H.B.M.C.**

Nah, he'll write it that Aby and his crew get together for a 14th Black Crusade, a Black Crusade that's specific target is Draigo himself - he's just that destructive! Think about it, he puts togther a Chaos 'Dream Team', of Aby, Kharn, Lucius, Ahriman, Typhus, the Planet Killer and a fully activated Blackstone Fortress. I'd still put money on Draigo though. The guy is armageddon incarnate!

**CajunMan**

Or that abby got into the Golden Throne room somehow and carved his name into the Emperor's heart, which is why the Golden Throne is failing.

...And the saddest thing is..I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to open the codex and read something like that.

**Noisy_Marine**

Maybe Abbadon will finally accept Marneus Calgar as his spiritual liege.

**Gavo**

If he writes the book......well, I can't wait to see how ridiculous Arhiman and Abbadon become

**H.B.M.C.**

Ok, thread derailed. My job here is done.

Sorry Kroot - I turn the thread back over to you.

Oddly enough, I've hoped for a Legions Codex for years ( ever since the unveiling of that 4th ed abomination), and now I'm actually worried that somehow...things might get worse.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

You should be careful what you wish for ... because you might get it.

**Happygrunt**

Hey, maybe Iron Warriors will get the 4 Heavy slot shenanigans back. Would be cool, as I started chaos on the current codex, but that old book sounded GREAT.

Kroot, do we know anything of content?

ROFL!

Someone put a trollface on a drone and then Demotivate it please...

Tau dont need a new 'dex, they already got enough in 3rd Ed to last them say... 13 years? (How long did DE wait?)

**Noisy_Marine**

Always a drone, never a battle suit.

**Kanluwen**

*does a happy dance*

I've been saying for awhile that a "Chaos Legions" book is necessary. Fingers crossed that it happens.
