It would almost certainly be him, but it would be the first time a resin model's been put in a box set.

Nope the Baddrukk set for example had a FC Baddrukk and FC gretchins

Was that sold as a discount or just a web bundle?

The easiest fix to Bloodlletters imo would be to make them T4 again.

But then, where does that leave Plaguebearers?

Hmmm... I'm hoping this is a supplement and not an actual codex. It would be very confusing to have rules (possibly even different rules) for Khorne units in multiple places.

IMO this 'book' is best served as a supplement with nothing more than some formations and unique wargear. All rules for the individual units will hopefully remain unchanged and in their respective codex.

Cool release rumors? Awesome!
Larry Vela? :(

I think somebody already said what I see as the most likely outcome,

No altered rules - if we see the Thirster, one version will be identical to the CD one.

Formations - this will be the way to alter the unit rules without screwing with the base entries in their respective Codexes

Warlord Traits - most of which will likely cause fear.

New relics - exclusive to units/characters from this book.

Maybe a new character or two..

Hasn't the essence of the rumour (a Khorne themed 40K supplement) come from other, more solid, sources though?

I just like that 90% of my chaos is in one book.

I think the rumor is from one of Natfka's sources. So that's a REAL big difference.

Anyway, if true this could be interesting down the road if I ever want to do something 40K with my nascent 30K World Eaters.

Agh, you are correct. Too early for me.

Actually, I hate the whole Khorne fluff and models.
Absolutely underwhelming.

Great, thanks for your input.

Do we think this will be a codex or more of a supplement with formations and maybe some special wargear and warlord traits? I can't see them changing rules and having bloodletters, for example, with different characteristics than the Daemon Codex.

Regardless it sounds like a good thing for anyone interested in Khorne.

It's not unheard of. Zoanthropes got new rules, well, an extra unit upgrade. Then they release a datasheet pdf on the webpage.

But where the heck are new Khorne Berzerkers? How can they be doing this whole Codex without updating AT LEAST that kit???

I think Khorne and Nurgle are conceptually stronger than Slaanesh or Tzeentch. *shrug* It's harder to convey Slaanesh and Tzeentch in miniature form, IMO.

If I had to guess, I'd say that characteristics will stay the same but units may get bonuses (Rage? Hatred-All?) for being part of the Khorne detachment.

Again, assuming this isn't bunk.

Those could still happen. Or none of this could happen. I'm not trusting this source right now.

Besides, this might be Codex: Sell Bloodthirsters, not Codex: Sell New Berzerkers.

We could very well see a price decrease on the Berserkers, as evidence by the Harlequin release GW doesn't seem to have a problem releasing two sets of stats etc..

BWA HAHAAAABAHAHAHAAAAH
And now they increase the price.

there will be no new Khorn bezerkers, don't get your hopes up, they just reboxed the Bezerkers to be on the 32mm bases and I cannot see them doing that when they have new ones around the corner, it would be a gross waste of resources.

I will literally foam at the mouth if a Tzeentch one is released.

I'm pretty sure GW has forgotten Tzeentch and Slaanesh exist. They require too much creativity to implement in their games. I guarantee we will see a Nurgle one though.

That said, I would be pretty damned stoked if GW released anything for Tzeentch at this point.

Ahhhhhhh!!! I'm hoping for new rules and formations. new warlord traits, relics, data sheets and hopefully new Berzerkers, new Kharn or something. Anything really.

as I said, no new bezerkers, its not gonna happen anytime soon.

Berzerkers are one of the oldest plastic kits GW has floating around. They first arrived at the start of 3rd Ed. I really don't think there's any "soon" to it. They're ancient and need updating.

Of course I can very easily see a box of 12 for US$37.50 becoming a box or 5 or 8 for US$50.

Found this pic at this website...

Interdasting...

I'm guessing that's a Prince.

I'm going to hope this goes well just so it increases the chances that they give me a combined Slaanesh Marines/Daemons book.

I would guess that it will be very much a supplement. No new rules for units (and probably no new models which is a shame).
New Warlord Traits, and Relics. Formations that change how the units function in hopefully a good way.

I can live with that.

I remember when they came out, and I don't disagree with you, but they JUST reboxed the bezerkers with new 32mm bases, so why spend moneez on that then release a whole new set a few months later, no, it doesn't make sense, so don't expect it.

Scale wise, assuming that's a Marine on the floor, I'd be more inclined to Khorne Posessed.

Which, I guess, makes sense as a unit to pad out the book, same models, different table, just like Crimson Slaughter.

At a discount and it could also be sold by indy shops like Wayland Games (with an even higher discount). It was a box with plastic and a few finecast minis. This Daemonkin Warband set seems to be the same

At 120 pages (according to Natfka's source) this looks to be a full-blown codex of its own. No codex supplement has ever been more than 100 pages. Will all unit rules be in the book? No need for the other codizes? That would be a welcome change to the former supplements

I am so looking forward to some pictures...


This artwork from Astropathe is fanart, how is it not? The blog is not saying it is from the book and the huge sig of the artist is not typical for the stuff GW releases nowadays

The Bloodthirster will likely be something like Strength D to sell the models.

That would work for me. I bought one for the hell of it. Might as well be an improvement over its predecessor.

Several sources point to a new 10 man berserker kit on 32mm bases... Couple new clam shells, etc...

I'm way excited.

I used to play a cult of khorne list from citadel journal!

If we were going to see new Berzerkers go up for preorder this weekend, we would be seeing the kits go off the website anywhere from Monday to tomorrow.

If I had to hazard a guess, what might happen is them doing something similar to what they did with the Necron release: giving their official stores a stock of 32mm bases intended only to be given to anyone buying Berzerker kits until the new box which includes 32mm bases comes out.
