Personally I think the Chaos Codex should be made into 5 codexs.


The first being general Chaos with the ability to design your own renegage legions. Tons of customizations based on themes. This codex will have more customization then the other 4 but wont have specific strengths that come with being allied to only one god. Codex demons could also be placed in here as a theme.

Then Codex World Eaters

Then Codex Emperors Children

Then Codex Death Guard

Then Codex Thousand Sons

Sure.. All we need is another 4 Codexes.. Even better, another MEQ Codexes.. If we divide all armies there will be too much of them.. This will never happen, or I really hope so..

I would prefer one good, balanced, and various Codex instead of multiple bad ones. Where every unit is viable and has some use.
More codexes just lead to much longer time between they all are updated. Time spend into 1 good one > time spend into 4 poor ones.

They should just up date the 3.5 one for 5th ed.

Yep.

Just remove the part where the mark of Khorne makes you lose Havocs and makes you run towards the nearest enemy and we're done.

I wonder why the drastic change to bland dom. Since it looks like the previous codex not only had my idea for a codex, but it is the codex I wanted for it.

Well hopefully when they get around to updating that codex I might return to chaos of they decide to bring it back to grace in the future.

They hit it with the bland hammer cause people cried that Chaos was overpowered and GW figured that the easiest way to go about fixing that was to remove everything that people complained was overpowered.

Now compare that codex to the new ones and honestly, its on par for power.

This, and GW decided that all codices that came out needed to be bland to prevent things from being overpowered. Hence the lame Dark Angels and the even lamer 'Chaos' Space Marines.

However, this didn't prevent 'Chaos' from being overpowered anyway. (dual Lash, anyone?)

LoL...

You have to admit though, Lash is the exception
