Did you actually read the last page or two?

Rumor roundup is this:

BT: new dex, but not in starter set.

DA: in starter box, but no new dex.

Also, you need to watch your language (the filter catches the curse word, but it is visible when you are being quoted).

Oh wait, what? I thought the rumor was that DA were getting the next codex, then CSM, then Tau, and THEN (in like, late 2013) the BT would get a new codex. Hold on, let me check.

EDIT: You're totally right. My bad. Well, that's a relief. Despite my nerdrage, I do hope the DA get a new codex eventually, though! But with BT and DA getting potential updates, that might make Codex: Space Marines a lot less popular.

Milisim wrote:Why dont they just put the damn lame Marine codex in the damn BRB.... That way we can at lerast start the ball rolling on armies that actually NEED a new codex.... IE: Most armies OTHER than a space marine Sub chapter etc....

One thing to keep in mind is that based on the actual rules for 6th Edition, the list of what Codices need updates may change dramatically. The rules leak may just be an early test version of the rules and see lots of changes, but those rules would have made the current BT Codex very powerful and make the current Tyranid Codex very strong. So Dark Angels and other codices may be very viable under the new ruleset and not need an update that quickly. Just something to think about.

Also, even though it didn't get past the filter. Do not attempt to get around a swear filter or try to disguise an insult to get past any filters. Also please refrain from using "gay" as an insult. Do point in violating Rule 1 of the TOS and be hateful towards an entire population just because you hate imaginary sci-fi soldiers. just call it stupid, or any other term that is not tied to a particular population.

Technically "lame" is a bash on the disabled.

Maybe we should just change it to "Space Marines, I don't like them but that is just my opinion and I will respect your opinion about them even if they are different. Also cookies for everyone!"

Only if the cookies are oreos dipped in milk. All other cookies are stupid...

No Black Templars? Here's the keys to my cryogenic stasis pod. Unfreeze me when a new Templars codex is confirmed.

My opinion = oreos dippen in milk are stupid...

Give me those delicious-death chocolate maple cream cookies!
(In Canada, maple makes everything taste better!)

BTW I'd also like to say the "leaked" 6th is a crock of **** an elaborate and well written crock but a crock non the less.

right on, even if it is a crock of **** its still better than 5th. And that's saying something

I respect your opinion on cookies and I may even try one.

I do love Mable, are they available in the US?

Wait.

I'm not sure why this is being glossed over. I mean, sure, ghost21's rumors have been suspect for awhile, but he's also been one of the most prolific rumor-mongers in the last few months.

So, just how much has he been making up? This makes me want to go back through the rumor round-up to see just what all he's posted about so I can cross it off the list of credibility. The #1 one, of course, being his Chaos rumors that led him into an argument with ADB. But what else has he made up?

Yeah, that's true. I joined during 4th ed, and since then it appeared to me that it was always about the Ultras. I had no idea that Black Templars were once the posterboys.
Question is though, did these other chapter receive as much flak as the ultramarines? I mean, I have yet to see an insult for BT, CF and BA.

You didn't see that kind of insulting/whining back in the day because the Internet was nothing like it is now. Even when Templars were on the cover of the starter box, they weren't on the covers of all the kits; those were still largely Ultramarines. Ultras are generally on the box art for any standard Marine kits, and have been since 2nd edition.

Summary:
Starter Set includes Dark Angels vs. Chaos. Chaos includes CSM, some traitor guard/cultists and a CSM deadnought.

I am wary of how GW-produced traitor guard/cultists will look

Why? FW traitor guard are very good looking fellows. Relatively speaking.

Unless you're afraid of Cadiafication.

FW's traitors are pretty good, especially the Enforcers, but too Nurgle-y for my tastes. I know, EVERYONE and their fat mommas love them some Nurgle, but I've grown pretty tired of them. If we get a Nurgle force in the 6th Box Set, I won't buy it.

I would hope they go with chaos undivided so that people can convert and use for all gods. The current box is Ultra, but easy enough to use for all chapters.

The current box is Ultra? They've got Tactical arrows sure, and not every Chapter uses those (but most do), and, yes, using them as Wolves might be a tad difficult, but do they have sculpted Ultramarine detail?

No, they don't. The Captain from Assault on Black Reach doesn't have an ultramarine symbol. Neither does the Dreadnought, any of the Terminators, or the tac squad.

However, the Box cover is painted as Ultramarines, but the figures are just basic/generic Space Marines.

I like how in the topic on warseer were ghost admitted to lieing, you get to see the 7 stages of grief. It's pretty entertaining in all honesty....

Thow I'm confused why some people still think Black Templar are next. Were not like.... ALL the black templar rumours from ghost?

XD

ghost21 wrote:I made It up,I wont be posting any more

The best parts of that thread are the people continuing to defend him post-admission.

Just re-read the Black Templar rumor thread on warseer, nothing reliable about them being the next dex. There are release schedules that go against what both harry and hastings say which puts major doubts on their credibility. All the rumors in that thread have been posted by either ghost who we now know is a fake or by others that don't have any track records. So far TastyTaste from BoK has a better track record and 2/3 of his latest rumor release was confirmed by hastings/harry over on warseer.

Basically take everything but 6th ed being released and chaos soon after 6th with a major pile of salt.

Edit: And you've gota give it to TastyTaste over on BoK for having the guts to flat out say his rumor is true and to call him on it if it isn't. All the current "new" rumor mongers are vague in the extreme.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. The theme of the box and the cover was all about the Ultramarines, but the actual models were generic enough to be used for any Space Marine chapter. So I was hoping that they would follow that theme for the Chaos side in the new box if that is the correct rumor. The fluff of the box could be a distinct legion, but I hope they are either Chaos Undivided or generic enough models that could be used for any Chaos faction. Aka: No Khorne Berserkers and stuff like that.

Probably everything? Of course some rumors have been so vague, they are bound to come true. "Black Templars will have fast attack options!" Well, no gak Sherlock.

Btw. what really got him into an argument, was claiming that he worked at GW HQ, participated in staff sessions and got his rumor from there. No person who values his job would do that.

Word. Some idiots are so desperate to believe his (Codex: Hrud, really?) that they don't believe him when he says he made it all up.

One good thing came from all this, though; Hastings got drawn back into the rumour mill.

Like I said. The 7 stages of grief. Give it time. Soon they will be feeling guilt.
;D

If these new Hasting backed rumours are accurate, I will be very happy come the summer.

But some kind of traitors in the box? Wow, that would be an epic change for the Chaos Dex, someone page Justdave, they've obviously been looking at his work.

Anyone willing to do a roundup of false Ghost rumors? So that we could collectively erase them from our memory?

Good news about Hastings though...

Well, most Tau, Eldar, Black Templar, Sororitas, Fantasy Contingent supplement including Insectoid races, Hrud Codex and other things are by ghost21. He was the first to post correct rumours on Dreadfleet though, what gave him some credit at the start.

ghost21 wrote:I made It up,I wont be posting any more

Well I'll be...I never thought he would have admitted it...even when called out by Hastings. Your suspicions have been fully justified.

He's just the cleaner. They don't care what the cleaners think at GW. By participate he meant clear the mugs at the end of the meeting.

DA: in starter box, but no new dex.

Presuming this turns out to be true, might it lend credibility to the suggestion that Dark Angels will be folded back into the Space Marine Codex?
