I am looking at seriously downsizing my collection, and want to keep two armies that are opposite each other on the codex rotation. Problem is, I do not HAVE the codex rotation. Anyone have it, or can link me to where it can be found?

edited for being a fuckin noob idiot.

The what now?

Marines, something else, Marines, something else, Marines, something else, Marines Marines Marines.

Haha that would make way to much sense for GQ to have there codexs on a rotation. I mean that would be fair and reasonable. That totally isnt GWs game plan.

But really. There isnt one. As the post above said. There is a loose pattern of. Marine/not marine/marine/not marine but thats reallly about it.

downsizing? selling?

IronfrontAlex: Selling would be one way of downsizing, yes. Not sure about how who what or when yet, but I have far more armies than I can play. I am not really looking at the how right now, that's a bit premature.

I am interested, however, in GW's codex rotation. So if anyone simply has a list of the codexs as put out for the last few editions, I would appreciate it. That's all I am really looking for. Or if you know where online it's posted.

Whilst I don't have a list I would have thought your best options (if you're keeping two armies) would be to pick 2 of Vanilla marines, CSM, Eldar, IG or Orks - These are the codices that you can guarantee will get an update every edition (pretty much - I know Orks had to wait ages)

Also, These are the only armies that GW has kept faith with from RT through to 5thEd.

5th Ed seems to be running with SM, IG and Orks 'early' and CSM and Eldar 'late' in the schedule, so maybe one from each?

This has a list of the codex publishing dates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_%28Warhammer_40,000%29, if that's what you're looking for.

Looking at that, it seems that GW is breaking up the pattern a little. They normally put out two codexes a year (and it normally follows a 'marines, not marines, marines, not marines' pattern) however, the january release of the nids, and then the april release of the blood angels, and talk of yet another codex this winter, makes me wonder if the pattern will break up.

Please, Please, PLEASE let the rumors of DE be true. Though there is another rumor of necrons in jan 2011. I love DE and I plan on playing them when I get some money.

Great thanks! That's what I was lookin for.

Sounds like the children's game Duck, Duck, Goose.

There are numerous rumors floating around.

-The May/June black box supposedly will have have two books. Now one of them could be this Spearhead expansion, since "the main part" that will be published in White Dwarf could very well not be the whole picture, and they have more in mind beyond the bonus material they'll post online.

-I think we can very safely assume we will get another Space Marine codex this year, there's no way of telling whether it's Dark Angels or Black Templar. These armies have the advantage of being guaranteed money makers, and also having very complete lines (DA and BT even have their own plastic kits and upgrade sprues). Hell, they could go all out and put out both books this year, if they keep up their current pace of releases.

-Dark Eldar are supposedly practically done, now it's just up to GW to decide whether it's worth the investment to launch it. Of course, since they are in Battle Missions, they don't really have the option to squat them, so they just need to sack up and release them. The only reason they don't sell well is because they have the oldest codex still in use (I don't count the reprint that finally gave them wargear and vehicle upgrades because Jervis Johnson sucks as a new codex), and their line is dated. If the resculpts are all being done by Jes Goodwin like rumored, they will be gorgeous and sell like hotcakes (his 15-20 year old sculpts easily stand up next to the new stuff). On the other hand, they are putting out a LOT of new kits this year, particularly vehicles, so relaunching an entire line may be difficult.

-Everything I've heard about the Necrons points to them being an early 2011 release. Much like the Eldar, there could be issues with having to redo the line, but honestly most of the existing miniatures are fine, they are just metal.

-There's a whole thread online that catalogs all the rumors on IQ/SoB/GK, and there are some very indicative rumors we may get them before the end of the year. Also have fantastic miniatures, but they are approaching OOP status and are very expensive. I would say they are more likely than Necrons to hit late 2010.
