Well, I've been wondering about this for awhile. I heard many months ago about the old Alien Hunters 'dex, and then this was confirmed when it was written about in an old white dwarf I read.

My questions are:

What was the codex like?
Why did GW discontinue them? (They didn't sell I'm guessing)
Were the miniatures any good?
How come they're talked about less than squats?!


Discuss.

There has never been a Codex: Alien Hunters.

There was meant to be one, no doubt focusing on the Ordo Xenos side and Deathwatch side of the Inquisition, but it never came to be.

Very true, however that doesn't mean you can't deck out your guys in loads of Nid plates/other xenos stuff, Darkvoid...

Ah. That sucks. Always wondered why the ordos Xenos were never listed/mentioned on the GW website. Well, I'm gonna probably go and write a fandex for them now.

Thanks for the quick response.
