With new plastic kriegs comming out. Are there any chance there will be a death korps codex?
I suppose not but one must keep dreaming…

I don't think there's been explicit confirmation of further plastic Death Korps releases - though some Rumour Engine elements could well be to do with the Death Korps.

I wouldn't be expecting a distinct Death Korps Codex, however - I'd imagine they'll remain as part of the standard Imperial Guard codex.

There's been the usual rumors of more plastic Death Korps, but bluntly it's been on the cards since they first came out. The fact that they have their own transfer sheet was a big giveaway.

Arbites have a transfer sheet, most of the Kill Teams do, doesn't mean they're getting models.

Tanith got vehicle transfers on the newest sheet so maybe basing rumours off a transfer sheet isn't the best way to go.

Difference is that Arbites aren't an aesthetic swap for an army. They're, at best, a unit.

I'm really tired of people pretending that Tanith having vehicle transfers is some kind of crazy thing.

How long has it been since the Sabbat Crusade? Do we really think that the planet might not have been resettled or the Tanith having settlement rights took a world?

Arbites had an army list before the DKoK had even been mentioned.

Tanith is still an odd choice for vehicle transfers. Tanith armoured units from a resettled world 2 or 3 centuries after the crusade finished is plausible but a bit of a stretch. Clearly most people collecting Tanith care about the First and Only. DKoK would have made more sense to go on the sheet, or even Narmenians really.

On topic: a separate DKoK codex seems unlikely, but more units in plastic is very plausible.

Yeah, and? Cadia had an army list before DKoK did too.

The Tanith had vehicles. Cargo trucks, outrider bikes, etc.

But for the record, you can easily look at the vehicle transfer sheet and make your own decisions about whether it's out of place or not.

Krieg is on the sheet. As are Tallarn, Armageddon, Catachan, Vostroya, and Valhalla.

It's a sheet for the Sentinels, tanks, and other vehicles. It's not like the Tanith get a dozen transfers on there. It's enough that if you want to put it on a vehicle you can.

Two units technically, three if GW pushes it with the rules and makes the unit leader an HQ. The perfect jumping-off point for a new army by GW standards.

The point remains the same as the one made when people were claiming there was going to be a whole new edition of HH because the Legion Command Squad transfer sheet has Salamanders and Iron Warriors on it. A transfer sheet is not indicative of what is going to be released.
Why did Raptors transfers get put on the newest Marine sheet? Why did Tanith get put on the Guard vehicle sheet? Nobody knows but it doesn't mean that models are getting released.

Hate to do it Gert, but the Arbites box does represent 3 units- the Exaction squad are the elites with special gear, the Subductors are all Shields and Mauls, and the Vigilants are Battleline. The Repressor Legends card should also have the Arbites Keyword.

And yes, I do hope we get an HQ and Bikes with the Agents dex. A plastic Repressor with an Arbites and Sisters build would be the best thing ever- especially now that firing deck rules are back- it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I mean, if you want to split hairs? There's more than that since the KT setup gets one. Point still remains that it's, at best, a unit for an army.

If you want to split hairs again, the primary claim is that there's a new large box coming. A few people have definitely claimed that it's a "new edition" though.

Why did Raptors transfers get put on the newest Marine sheet?

Because Raptors have been playing a part in the lore for Leviathan?

Also because they're a Successor Chapter with a pretty common insignia.

Why did Tanith get put on the Guard vehicle sheet? Nobody knows but it doesn't mean that models are getting released.

Because Sentinels wouldn't be out of the question for Tanith? Because a Tauros wouldn't be out of the question?

Tanith operated primarily as light infantry because they were equipped as it. Just like how Catachans randomly got armoured companies.

The relevance being that you indicated Arbites getting a transfer sheet can't be used as an indication of further models because they are just a unit. When lorewise they have much more potential and have been a full army in prior editions.

I don't recall any of those being permanent or long-term attachments that would warrant a livery change. The Tanith were usually assigned them for a specific mission.

But for the record, you can easily look at the vehicle transfer sheet and make your own decisions about whether it's out of place or not.

Bloody hell, I just looked at that before I posted and missed Krieg when it's clear as day oof on my part. I stand by Narmenians though.

I don't think anyone is claiming it is a big deal. Its just odd. Especially when GW went a different route in the past and encouraged Tanith infantry to be paired with vehicles from adjacent regiments, like the Narmenians.

0% chance of a DKoK-codex before the remaining "proper" armies (including IG themselves) gets an actual codex.

And even after that, the chances are slim and none. By the time all armies have finally gotten their codex, 11th will probably be right around the corner (if not released already) and it's time for the cycle to repat itself.

DKoK will probably remain a part of the IG Index/Codex for the forseeable future. At best I'd guess they'll get their own detatchment, but thats probably about it.

Yeah, with the current format of 10th ed codices and their detachment system, it's a big nope. If they do receive new units, it'll be supplementary to the existing infantry squad unit similar to how Cadians have Kasrkin and their own specific HQ/special character choices.

It would be fun if they made somthing special With them at least. Like some special detachement rules if you play with only DKK units. They have tons of cracy Crapy units that They somehow shuld make playable.
