Hi,
I don't actually have any rumors to post, so sorry,
but could anyone fill me in on when, or if a new Chaos Demons Codex (40k) is coming out soon
I'd like to start them, but with the Dark Eldar I know collect I managed to buy and old battle force and codex just before the new ones came out!

Never. Or at least, not in the foreseeable future.

Chaos Daemons was tail end of 4th edition, start of 5th. Unless there was a good reason for the new codex coming so soon, I would not bank on a new one until perhaps 6th edition (and even then, that is years down the road). For codex updates right now, look towards the following as clues to a relatively new release for a codex:

Model line getting old (Necrons, Tau, Sisters, recently GK and DE got the upgrade).
Popular Codex (Space Marines tend to get an update more frequently than others).
Serious imbalances because of rule changes (Not sure if that is why 'Nids got a newer codex, and for some of the older SM variant chapters, they hotfixed some options to make them "up to date.").
Perhaps related to pormotional tie in (If they release an AOBR-esque set, it will be with 2 armies from a more recent codex).

They could also be trumped by other factors such as the timeline of events GW has set up in their headquarters that no one else is privy too. If it's like the creational process for MtG, GW has thought out years in advance what they want to do and how they will do it (with feasability and reality factoring in as well to make any changes they deem they need to make).

yeah,
Some of the Chaos daemons needs updating, Nurgle is still waiting on plastic troops.

Panic...

Thanks!
