Wouldn't it be cool if GW brought back the old campaign thing with a new EoT. I mean, I am too young to have played the first one, but it sounded fun.

In celebration of the legions book.

If you want to play "The Eye of Terror", I can dig up the campaign rules from White Dwarf.

I think it would be cool if we could do chaos warbands vs. each other and slowly work our champions up to demon princes ... or spawns. Small scale stuff with tables to roll on to see what happens to your guys after the battle. Kind of like Necromunda with more spiky bits.

Could you? That would be great.

Which parts do you want?
The event cards, the 'special units'(including one made by Mauleed no less!), etc?

Let us take this to PMs, don't want to derail the thread.

Depending on what they do for my darling Word Bearers it could get me back into 40k...I doubt it but yah never know

I am not sure I understand. What will the difference between the Legion book and the current codex be?

snake wrote:I am not sure I understand. What will the difference between the Legion book and the current codex be?

Well , primarily ...the Legion book will have actual Legions in it...

In other words, you'll be able to build characterful Legion armies, which you really can't do with the current...mess.

I think what I'm most excited about is that when Necrons finally get a new codex 6th edition is literally one codex away...


But really, super pumped for the Chaos Legions stuff, gonna be amazing! Or at least I pray it will be, vast swaths of (semi) uniformed chaos marines running headlong into combat chanting their war-cries and praises to the Chaos gods. Here's hoping for good fluff, good units, and more daemonic machines like the Blight Drone and Soulgrinder!

Just hope that they will stop with this 3Ed nonesense about World Eatersbeing only psychotic maniacs who does'nt know how to use an assault weapons other then Plasma pistols...

And also hope that we get a new Zerker plastique sprue,the one we actually have is more then 15 years old!

Oh and a Plastic Dread also...
And the return of the Collars,Axes and all the other good stuff we had back in the day,where it was fun to play chaos!

As in a dedicated Khorne list, a Night Lords list, etc.?

What will happen to all of the Khorne, etc., options in the old codex then?

Well, if I read the OP correctly, the 4th ed codex and rules there in will be used for Chaos renegades....so I'd imagine they'd still be useable for "warbands" dedicated to Khorne, whereas actual " World Eaters" would be found in the Legions book.
...I assume.

Sigh...

Please, for the love of the Space Emperor let them include some mutant and cultist units besides the obigatory MOAR MARINEZ

Ahh I see. This makes more sense. Seems a tad redundant, imo, even if there is a difference. I wish GW would just put all of the like codices into one book...

But, but...

that would take up the page with all of the pictures of the guns n stuff! How will Jervis' kid know the difference between a bolter and a lascannon?

Well this is going to hurt my wallet if it comes to fruition. New Chaos toys and being able to tear people apart as a full legion? Sign me up if the Necron update falls through.

why does chaos now end up getting a new codex on the cusp of new editions..... Which means the last codex was well half baked........

really not happy with that....

Tbh, I feel like im the only one who thinks that this rumor is false...I really do hope its not though. Plus, the way it would work might be interesting.

EDIT: nvm didnt read the first post correctly (thank god )

I hope that Chaos Legions doesn't get fethed over because it is written "with 6th edition in mind" but still has to be compatible for 5th edition. I think that's part of the reason I have reservations with the current ork codex.

Freaking gw I knew they would do another damn power armor army. This is total bs.

To be fair, this is the power armour codex a good chunk of the player base has been screaming for and is well overdue. It's also the power armour codex with the greatest potential to actually be different to the other power armour codices.

Why are you concerned about the Orks? They made the transition to 5th in grand style- nob bikers were the froth of the tourney gamers' rage.

Now, they're a middle of the road codex with a few playable builds. Not OP, not Necron/Tau bad... no real complaints from me.

BOT: Hoping the Legions book turns out well- I know my friends Iron Warriors would love to get dusted off...

H.B.M.C. wrote:*looks at current 'Chaos' Codex*

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

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

It seems he is the equivalent of Lord Voldemort now, in that if you say his name everyone starts having panic attacks

My only hope for this codex is that Tzeentch and the Thousand Sons get awesome new psychic abilities for the sorcerers and that they pass psychic tests automatically, with the Thousand son units being cheaper and more effective

Also who wants to start taking bets on people using Chaos Counts- As for their Space Wolves or Grey Knight army because it "fits their background better"

The great circle of Irony would be complete with that act.

I'm willing to place a bet on that. As long as there are legion specific rules, that is a must. Plus, a return to the 4th edition codex in terms of customization. A few new vehicles would be a big bonus.

Band-Wagoners gonna Band... wagon... no... that one doesn't work. You can't make that a verb and sound witty at the same time.

Yeah where are the Chaos variants of, say, the Land Raider. I mean, have they been sitting in the Warp for 10,000 years going "Oh! Look at all the cool toys that the False Emperor's dogs get! Why don't we ever make our own?"

Eithey way, a new Chaos Codex will probably mean a new plastic Chaos Dread, and that's good for everyone.

just gimme the previous chaos codex.

On the vehicle side of things, I would be pretty happy if Chaos Space Marines could have looted Imperial vehicles, similar to how the Iron Warriors were once allowed to have a Basilisk.

How about better dread rules? Then we can talk about plastic kits.
