Right so at the end of my thread regarding the Infernal Tetrad. I got into a bit of gossip mongering about some up coming Chaos Space Marine and Daemon products.

So this what I know as true. As much as can be expected of an early rumer.

A good friend of mine who works in my local GW store, has let me in on some information. Now he's told me things that are "coming soon" before and he's always been proved right before. So I personally believe what he's told me.

Things he says are coming soon. a new daemonkin style Codex: for the three remaining Chaos powers, A new set of Chaos data cards comprising of the tacticle objective cards (originaly available with with the special edition version of Traitor's Hate) and new Pykic Power cards for Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh, with seven powers for each and conversion kits for the Chaos Powers like those for Blood Angels, Space Wolves etc with 10 shoulder pads champion heads weapons. So yeh if he's done his clearvoyant trick I'll be very very busy through next year. If he gets anything else he lets me in on I'll be sure to share.

Here's hoping! We will need those to fight the plastic sisters of battle.

What is this exactly?

"Things he says are coming soon. a new daemonkin style Codex: for the three remaining Chaos powers"

It sounds weird

Slaanesh Dameonkin, Tzeentch Daemonkin, Nurgle Daemonkin.

A conversion kit? How lame.

Cult Troops are more than just shoulder pads and a few different helmets.

This is almost definitely incorrect. Sad panda has clearly stated more than once that there will not be deamonkin books. GW themselves have confirmed that they are doing full sprues for at least thousands sons. It is possible that we may get conversion kits as well, like with the GSc but that is the only part of this rumour that rings true.

daemonkin style Codex

Not a daemonkin codex.

Although I'm skeptical, nevertheless.

this sorta ties in with the 1k sons rumours, I could see the 1k sons codex be daemonkin style

Not a single crossover Codex: for all three one whole book for each of them.

The Data Cards are the only thing he said had stuff for all three in, the faction spesific psykic powers.

The only thing I don't get is how the updated psykic powers will play into the new Codex:s.

Point. If we're getting new powers there will need to be a printed version of them. Not everyone will be able to afford or want the the cards they're a nice touch and I always get them for any factions I own, but they are for everyone.

Now l lets take what I've heard to be true. If we're getting three new Codex:s it stands to reason that each discipline will be in the appropriate faction Codex:. But I know some people who flat out dislike the Daemonkin thing. should they have to buy three Codex:s they don't really want just so they can have the updated psykic powers for an army and Codex: they already own?

And Azreal13, when I said a daemonkin style Codex: I meant a Codex: each for each chaos power, that do for each of them, what Khorne Daemonkin does for Khorne unit's, but won't necessarily have "Daemonkin" in the title,

And on the subject of scepticism. Any man who is not sceptical about another man's rumour is a fool. Any man who endorses said rumour whithout evidence is a fool among fools.

I am sceptical about everything. The reason that I'm fairly confindent of these rumours is the guy that told me has tipped me off on things before. and everything he's told me about I now own. Like I said in my thread on the Infernal Tetrad "Sorcererof Khorne". His early info has always proved to be correct. I just hope they get the Data Cards before Christmas as I'll need them for the legion Codex: I'm wrighting.

"Please GW, please before Chrimbo,"

Are you sure he said 'crossover" meaning the other Daemonic powers, or crossover as in CSM: Thousand sons + Tzeentch Daemons?

Current rumors are pointing to the later. Especially since the confirmed Malgus DP box says "Thousand Sons" where normally the Faction name goes. As there is yet a "Thousand Sons" faction, it suggests a new codex.
There is also the rumor of a Warzone Fenris: Part 2, which would line up quite well with this.

-

Right. as I understand it he means. A Codex: for Tzeentch, a Codex: for Nurgle and a Codex: for Slaanesh with new rules, wargear, formations, etc. For armies built around both mortals and daemons dedicated to the aforementioned power/faction. But they probably won't have "Daemonkin" in title.

Yeh I'm pretty sure we'll be getting more campaign books to represent the activities of Abaddon's 13th black crusade. a lot more.

This is already wrong as we have seen the full sprues for the Thousand Sons.

Not a conversion kit.

The 40K, post Rubric, 1K Sons?

Have missed those?

Well, BA and SW have both conversion kits and full sprue, and the rumour even compared to those factions.

Not that I care much for these kind of rumors. Although they seem quite harmless.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see Slaanesh getting a codex. When was the last Slaanesh release for either system? It was the Fantasy marauders on steeds, right?

They showed the sprue in the same video they revealed Magnus.
The one with the plastic Sisters name drop.

Oh are we doing rumours? Sisters Jan / Feb

No. He's referring to the Hellstriders of Slaanesh.

Yep, they were in the plastic recycling bin.

Wait, so a "my friend who works at a GW store" rumor isn't legit? WHAT?

Well said.

I think all of this makes sense if the second part of Battlezone Fenris has been confirmed. In my opinion this would be the most likely source of the rumours as the DP Magnus and plastic 1K Sons seems to be a natural fit, if this is so.

Details of these releases might change, but on the off chance that GW reviews these types of posts, I hope the excitement this type of stuff generates is evendent.

As a CSM and DoC player there is nothing rumoured here that I wouldn't welcome into my collections.

Let me tell you, the people at the local GW shops are always the first to know about new releases and future direction of the game. No point in being skeptical.

They really don't.

My sibling worked for GW for a few years and he literally got told maybe a week before.

For example your expected to paint x or y

S.Y.

I always enjoyed popping into my local to tell them about the near future releases they didn't know about lol

Here's to a relatively short-lived and amusing stint on the tracker.

The Tau Fire Warrior and Chaos Space Marine kits were, bar none, the worst kits I'd seen.

Fire Warriors got an excellent new kit (though they got rid of one of the better sets of legs from the original kit).

I literally abandoned my True Scale Chaos Marines project because the existing kit is so awful. I really should just sell them on EBay while there's still some demand.

I'd love to see new Chaos Marines. I'd also hate it, because if it's any good, I'd inevitably end up buying some to accumulate more models I'd barely use.

@Andross for keeping the thread civil and posting more of what he had heard. People at GW shops are not a good source for info in general but this is at least a rumor discussion of what could happen with CSM and Daemons.

The latest photos collected (pics via War of Sigmar, BOLS, Spikeybits and others) - GW had confirmed on FB that the sprue from the trashcan is indeed plastic 1k Sons for 40k


They have been teasing Fenris II for a while now

I love how in that last picture there is a Harlequin vaulting over a Flamer of Tzeentch.

Talk about balls of steel.

Wait...what's that tentacle-dredlock daemon in the background? It almost looks like it's holding that guardians head. Seems a bit too big and humanoid for a spawn.

Chaos Spawn. Note the sword arm.
