I thought it would be good to creatte a thread of all the "issues" we find ex.
Landspeeder section mentions typhon variant and follows with the mention of typhon missiles. It then mentions the tornado but unless I am going blind it never mentions what the main gun is.
Banners: company and deathwing can take a sacred banner but raven wing command says they can take a relic banner. There are no relic banners.
Darkshroud stealth in points section but not in the front section with the written description
Oh well a few

They say you never appreciate what you have until it is gone. I fear that isn't true for your mind. |

A "tornado" landspeeder main armament is a heavy bolter or multi-melta, and secondary weapon is a heavy flamer or assault cannon.
Where are you seeing "relic" banners? In the back of the book, it says Ravenwing Command can take Ravenwing banner, Revered standard, or any of the Sacred Standards.
There's been a lot of discussion about the Darkshroud stealth vs shrouded thing. I can't think of a reason why they would name it the Darkshroud and call its bonus "Shroud of Angels" just to give it stealth instead of shroud.

-Nephilim Fighter has missle lock in the points section, but not in the rules section and on top of that it doesn't even have missiles that use blast templates to take advantage of that rule.
-Belial has an Iron Halo in the rules section, and not in the points section.
-Plasma Talons in the rules section does not have a weapon type, but is a rapid fire weapon on the back page summary.
-Darkshroud has stealth but the rule "Shroud of Angels" save it can't give itself or other darkshrouds stealth, why would this rule exist is the darkshroud was suppose to have stealth to start. I don't think the darkshroud is suppose to start with stealth like it does in the point section. It doesn't have it in the rule section.

The new faq answers most of these. Quick versions - Belial does have an iron halo, plasma talons are rapid fire, Darkshrouds don't get stealth.

I was thinking the same thing. The mistakes are unforgivable since 90% of people who purchased the codex spotted them on their first read through. There are some real "doh!" mistakes in there that jus shouldn't be in a $50 book. I guess if we want it properly edited its gonna cost $75.
Edit - luckily the codex is actually decent. Better than the chaos IMO.
