Ooh YAY! I bet they will do Dark Angels and make them awesomely cool some time next year, or the year after . . . just in time for a rules change *rolls eyes*

That's what I'm afraid of... At least I'll be ready with painted minis!

Next year? Isn't it a xeno year?
OTOH, the xeno hating DA would fit in, to counter all these vile evil creatures and their new totally OP codices...

Maybe if GW decides to redo space marine bikers, DA have a chance to show up.

IMO the DE codex will give a hint where the actual design philosophy goes to.
Rise of psykers as started with SM,nids,SW,BA or creative specials like jaws,doom and others.

Since GW replaced the small minidex, and seems to replace other 3rd ed codices ( only nids had more attention ),
DA and BT will end at the end of 5th ed. I think we get the inquisition redone before another marine codex.

and members of the unforgiven, don't forget your daily prayers: " ..oh Emperor protect us from the evil that is M.Ward.."

I don't get why DA even has their own codex. They are like a pubic hair's difference from codex:sm anyhow. Just put their special characters in codex:sm and done.

LOL people think BT need a new codex after like 3 years. I vote individual Raven Guard codex... or some actual Chaos Legion Codex, with individual units for each Chaos chapter.

... Grey Knights are Marines, and they are supposed to be coming around mid-January.

After December DE, I don't think they would release two armies so close together. My bet would be march at the earliest for next 40k codex.

Maybe because they have a lot of fluff to them, especially since they can field two entire companies of specialists as troops... and maybe because they were one of the core non-codex chapters out there, like the Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Black Templars...

Just a thought...

I second the need of a Raven Guard codex.
But why do we need a chaos codex? They can use codex SM and this spiky upgrade sprue.

I'm not sure GK are next, but if, I will welcome this.

DE are shown in september, said to be preorder in october, so surely a october/november release.
December could be the usual generic stuff.
Maybe GK are just models?
Last time they deployed a hundred of them was armageddon....
Would make sense as C: Inq / GK / IST / DW.
At least plastic GK goodness in January should save me from too many projects at once.

Oh God... they're going to do something like the LIONOR in his SILVER nipple-plated armour...

Then we'll have our JONSON PRIESTS and EMO GUARD.

*cries*

Tbh I play my DA with the 5th ed marine codex unless I have some DA-specific specialists.

Same here, we also house ruled for anyone that wants to run pure DA use the SM Codex wargear descriptions so their storm shields and stuff work better.

What gives? I thought you didn't like Marines?

I reckon white scars need some models, but would like to see some forge world mini's.

I dont , but out of the marines DA and CF are still nice looking.

I really like the look of DA . . . in the drawings and paintings. The miniatures, however, are pretty disappointing.

Thats why i dont have or collect DA :'D

The only miniature i like from DA is the ... Ezekiel is it?

If Chaos counts, it'd think after Grey Knights, it would be Chaos Marines.

DA could really do with some work in terms of their models. But it won't be for a while as their stuff is the second newest of 4th ed, IIRC. Don't bet on FW releasing anything for CF besides transfers, either. But that shouldn't matter because (1) GW already made stuff for them and (2) the FW IF stuff is good enough for them. Meanwhile, the FW DA dready is crap, IMO.

I like DA veterans.

Sword Brethern do it better.

People are complaining about DA models in this thread? Are we really... what is this? What is happening? Momma, is that you?

I'm pretty sure the Internet signed an agreement that the DA models were the only good thing to come out of that codex release. It's been what, 4 years? And they still look excellent. I'd vote for new Marine bikers next time a Marine army (aside from GK) comes out though. The same model has more or less been in production since 1993. Sure there's a multipart rider now, but it's primarily the same.

@Brother SRM: Transformers 1 is a great movie compared to Transformers 2, you know?

Transformers was a movie about some humans, guest starring the Transformers.

Manchu wrote:Sword Brethern do it better.

Sword Brethren do it from behind.

Wait what?

I hope it is Black Templars; I know at least one regular player of the army and they need it.

I agree with kirsnath that I hope its BT but, model-wise, I don't think they're that hard up. I hope that a new codex wouldn't have them all driving around in rhinos or falling in drop pods, however. That's pretty well covered.

I sincerely doubt BT or DA are going to be released before 2012. Especially if, as suggested, Grey Knights aren't released in January (as we've had very strong and consistent rumors that they'd come out in mid-Jan). At the moment, after Grey Knights there's still Sisters, Necrons, and Tau that have far more rumors going for them than BT or DA ever had-- pretty much zero information on those two.

I'd like to see Raven Guard as a next codex. They would have a unique fighting style with assassination, ambushing and loads and loads of jump packs.

I'm going to go ahead and jump in with "do we really need more Spess Mehreen codices?"

(no)

I hope to see again BT^^ IMO they're far more... interesting, fluff and the game style, far away from Big Blue Book followers, all that stuff of prayers, their rules about tests (unti now, in didn't saw again something the "you killed our comrades? PAYYYYY!!!!!!!" (sorry, i don't know the name of few rules, in Spanish the names ar not the same than English)


anyway, a OFFICIAL FAQ with actualization to 5th can be a good thing if finally they don't have a new codex...

GKs are soon, very soon.

BTs should be sometime afterwards
