Will the traitor book have the Thousand Sons stuff that will be in the Magnus book releasing today?

As cute as the whole 'bitter crusader' act is, they've already done that to sisters. In every codex since 2nd ed actually. With a few exceptions, pretty much every model you can buy retail still was in the 2nd ed codex.


I figured it was obvious I meant in this century. IE current GW.

High probability.

SInce kuyon Tau rules where also in the Tau codex that came after, and lots of what is in AoD where taken from the 2 Tau books from the imperial side.

Would be weird to get a book reprinting the rules for a book coming out a week later. but I guess it would still be worth the buy for the demon stuff for people. Or if your a 1ksons player and know you don't need anything from the other legions.

That's effectively what happened to the Tau codex though. The Kauyon stuff came out only a week or so later in the updated Codex. And Wrath of Magnus has a lot of Tzeentch Daemon stuff that probably won't be in the Traitor Legion book either. So it isn't like people that bought Wrath of Magnus will be left out in the cold. Especially when a lot of the product is fluff with only a small amount of rules.

I keep coming back in here hoping someone has posted some info about the Imperial Agents codex. Before this Saturday we should have allot more info and pictures of new Sisters models.
Everything up to Dec 17 has pretty much been revealed so this leaves the Dec 31 release, GW has never released anything on Christmas day though it would be cool if we got pre-orders for Sisters on the 17 with a release on the 24th. Would be a nightmare though as all stores and post offices would be closed so you wouldn't be able to buy any of it.

Will GW release new kits on the 24th and 31th of December? Seems unlikely because those days are red days so not many shops will be open.

2013 wasn't this century? Cause that's when the codex dropped. But I guess that was a few years ago so how about Traitors Hate, Angel's blade, Crimson Slaughter, Black Legion, The FAQ changing the number of attacks dreadnoughts have.

Storm Trooper codex too, but for the warlord traits it was reprinted a week or two later in the Imperial Guard book (sorry can't be bothered to look up the dog latin names)

The Storm Trooper codex has unique warlord traits, new orders and formations not found in the Guard codex. Not enough to set it apart from the main codex, but still there.

Release on the 17th then nothing until New Year most likely; with the Christmas holidays and all that there's no realistic way in getting peoples mail orders to them through the post.

LordShaft..

The beginning of December is packed for a reason. GW had a terrible December last year ( which is the best month for most uk retail companies). They are trying to fill the shelves with as many tempting Christmas present type items as possible. Even if the logistics were not a nightmare, Christmas Eve is the worst time to release something new as people would not have time to buy it. The January White dwarf will not release until January 6th so I would not expect a release until then.
The only possibility for the rumoured Cannoness is that they sneak it out alongside the imperial agents book.

Late to the party, in the Imperial Agents are there Scions?

Generic characters disappearing? Elite units of your army losing options and customizations? No longer finding that motivation to convert?

I am just curious, if this is the case, if those hack frauds bothered to add new orders (or rework them) and change point costs or will just repackage the list and call it a day.

I believe the WD said the following:

Loyal sons and daughters of the Imperium take heart, as whilst the Ruinous Powers may seek to be in ascendance as the year wanes, the God-Emperor’s most righteous agents stalk the stars ready to enact his will.
Codex: Imperial Agents contains nine subfactions of the Imperial war-machine, from agents of the Inquisition to Wyrdvane Psykers of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica to reinforce your armies of the Imperium. After all, Deathwatch Kill Teams and Imperial Assassins are just as likely to be found working alongside regiments of the Astra MIlitarum or Space Marine strike forces as they are working by themselves, giving the Armies of the Imperium increased tactical choice and scope to conquer any foe.
Within this volume you’ll find background and rules for using nine smaller factions alongside your existing armies of the Imperium, from the Grey Knight Terminator squads to the BATTLE SISTERS OF THE ADEPTA SORORITAS.


So from this we have the following armies:
1. Inquisition
2. Adeptus Astra Telepathica
3. Deathwatch Kill Teams
4. Imperial Assassins
5. Grey Knight Terminator Squads
6. Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas
7.
8.
9.

Other mentions have been Custodes and Sisters of Silence. Wild guesses have been about Imperial Knights, Scions, Admech, Skitarii etc. How many of these are smaller factions though? My personal vote is on Custodes, SoS and Scions/Knights.

I would honestly wait until at least mid next week before getting too involved.
The Traitor Legions are out first and nobody has revealed anything really about that yet.
I do not believe there will all of the sudden be a bounty for Imperial Agents when everything else has been so tight.

One of them is supposedly the Ecclesiarchy, the non Sister of Battle units from that codex.

We're getting dangerously close to Christmas now. I'm intrigued to see if they squeeze another release in before the end of the year.
Has anyone seen this yet? Deathguard Green was listed as a base colour in GW's 2016 Christmas Gift guide.
