Shadow Throne is £105, €140, $165 (US price based on Command Edition but might vary like the Euro price has)

Good estimate. It’s $170 USD. I hadn’t paid much attention to this release until now but that sure seems like an awfully big price for so few models- many of which are recycled from other boxed releases.

Wow, that's an insane price point IMHO

9 Custodes

14 GSC

$170.00?

Glad I already own everything I need for my GSC.

So Codices are up to preorder for next week. I wish, we would get another rules preview for GSC but I doubt it.

nice that we're getting them in the first half of January. Wonder if Tau will be in the second half of Jan considering all the reviews we have already had.

I don't think they'll do Tau in the same month - probably the beginning of February.

Custodes and GSC are literally just spillover from December. Tau were supposed to be the first book of 2022.

I really hope they get the Tau codex out this month as well. Because then it'll be time for the next two codexes......

Based on things said in articles (that these three books would make 40k exciting for months), I think there is a bit of a wait.

I suppose we could sit down and work out exactly what's all in the docket across all the product lines, but I'll be surprised by Tau before Feb and the Chaos/Eldar versus box before March. And the books after that.

I just think that if Tau were coming in Feb then we wouldn't have already had their preview articles.

I'll be surprised if Chapter Approved doesn't come out in January; we might see Tau alongside that. Today's preview is probably just them pushing the schedule back a week.

/shrug. Their release schedule is so screwed up it doesn't matter. I'm not really privy to enough behind the scenes info to judge, so I just go by the things they've said.
Tau may come sooner, but that leaves a pretty gaping void of 40k releases.

Er... no. 3-5 weeks, depending on when in December GSC and Custodes were originally slated- either the 4th, 11th or 18th, and I suspect is was one of the earlier two, because holidays.

If they can hold off on the Eldar/Chaos box 'til April, that'd be nice.

The box? Sure. The codex? Noooooo.

I was assuming that whatever was originally slated to up for preorder on Jan 8th would now probably be on Jan 15th instead; not saying that these codexes were originally going to be released on Xmas / new years.

Weird nitpick though, thanks!

I can see the box coming out before the codices as a sort of preview/appetizer for the full releases. Updated rules for the models in the box, but a wait for the proper drop of Eldar and CSM

You're right - the associated Codexes shouldn't be released before June, at the earliest.

And I'm not saying which June...

As it stands I don't think we know or have confirmed any "big" release before the eldar vs chaos box? Maybe the sigmar battle box, but even that is the usual 1 character release to support the books like shadowthrone.

In short we only have filler releases for the most part that we know of, certainly not enough to last until end of Feb

Man that cover art of the new GSC codex is so hideous it makes me not want to buy it.

Are you kidding? It’s one of my favourite codex covers they’ve done.

I just find it hard to believe that they're already plugging the CSM vs Eldar box, CA, and campaign book, and that they'll sit on them for three months. But, it's gw, so who knows.

I agree but then they've dropped in the "buy these while you wait" whilst discussing the period up to the end of Feb.

Would you prefer they went back to the old system of keeping all new releases under wraps until the week before? At least with ~3 months notice people can better plan or budget for purchases.

I'll be surprised if CA isn't out before the end of Jan. CSM/Eldar is probably some time in Feb.

Additional details on both Codexes this week are promised in the video.

I think it's great. Very gritty and grim, whilst reinforcing GSC as being a horde army of mutants. Much better than just having one, lone heroic figure pointing and/or aiming off into the distance with a glow and vague silhouettes around them.

The Custodes cover meanwhile looks horrible.

This reads like Crossfire is our Mono-faction bonus.

The old Brood Brothers rules are such a word salad it's hard to be sure of what the changes are, but I think this is the jist:

Leadership bonus changed to +2 instead of +1

Can use orders and similar special rules now.

Can't be more than 25% of your army in points / PL

Turn the Imperium’s Weapons Against It with New Brood Brothers Rules mentions taking "Valkyrie air support", but they don't have <REGIMENT> or UNALIGNED...

Can't take Militarum Auxilla anymore either.

Will Brood Brother squads be allowed to bring something other then just Grenade Launchers and Flamers now?

The Brood Brothers box is still the 'old' Cadian sprue with just GL/Flamers so I wouldn't count on it.
