Just as the subject line says, what armies do you think will see an update in 5th edition yet? When do you think 6th edition will be coming out?

If the rumour that 6th ed will be out next summer is true, I'd say there would be about 3-4 codex releases.

Going by Yakface's rumour thread, I'd be pretty sure Necrons are next. If they continue to follow the imperial, non-imperial, imperial, non-imperial pattern they seen to have been following, I'd think:

Necrons, Sisters of Battle, Tau, Black Templars/Dark Angels.


Then (I hope) all the codecies that I want will come out just after the new edition (CSM (hopefully including daemons) and Eldar).

I sincerely hope the rumour that 6th is coming out next summer is wrong. 4 years is too short for 1 edition.

Most of the armies in dire need of an update are the ones that are coming out next: Necrons, Sisters, and Tau. I do feel bad for the DA players though.

I'd like to see the current C list codices (Necron SoB, Tau) get their updates with 6th in mind, but I do hope that they all get an update BEFORE 6th edition comes out. because if You've updated them all, you can stick them in the next box set, which should be Necrons vs. Space marines. But that's a debate for another thread.

Regardless, 4 years is way to short for a table top game edition. D&D updates every 10 years. I'm not saying Warhammer should do the same, but 4 years is way to short a cycle for any edition of any table top game.

On moon miranda.

4 years does seem entirely too short, and yes most other games go longer between updates, but it wouldn't be a first for GW. 7E Fantasy lasted from late 2006 to mid 2010, less than 4 years. 4E 40k lasted from Sept 2004 to July 20008, also less than 4 years. IIRC 2E 40k lasted about 4 years as well.

In terms of what armies we will see? Personally I'm going to guess that they will get to Black Templars (complete with Templar Fists and Crusader Guns and Templar Tanks courtesy of Mat Ward), probably Sisters of Battle, Necrons, and possibly Tau. That would hit every army done before the big Codex redesign that started with the Eldar in late 2006.

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.

New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights!
The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

I really hope Ward doesn't touch my Templars. To be honest I'm really not looking forward to our army update. I really like the style of current BT play.

My Armies:
- Death Wing and Green Wing
- Tacticals and Devastators
- Retired

Please refrain from gratuitous Ward hate in this thread, it got old months ago; tia.

It's pretty safe to say that Necrons, Sisters, and Tau will get updated before 6th. I wouldn't be surprised if they got updated in that order too.

I think the psychic mastery levels in C:GK is a taste of how psychers will work under 6th just a wild assed guess thu. necrons definitely atleast.

Hopefully not. If I have to put even ONE whiny little *****boy marine in my daemons army I'm scrappin' it.

As noted in my "rank the codices" thread, CSMs are the only army I actually actively dislike the fluff for.

About right, I really doubt that they will update Dark Angels or Black Templars this edition. I hope they will chaos, my Sisters of Battle and Grey Knights need to exterminate some heretics, it's not looking very likely.
