I was responding to the post immediately preceding that one. That post was John's, not yours. I have no idea how you have got confused here.

Elric of Grans: Nope. Wrong again. Sigh. Take a look at the second page of the thread, approx five sixth's of the way down, time stamp 10/05/2009 09:05:55 pm. That's the post I thought you were responding to. That post is not John's. The next post is yours. You may have been telling John to go to hell, but all I'm saying is that next time try to be a little more clear who you're talking to because it appeared you were addressing me. There's a wonderful example of one of the many ways you can achieve clarity in a future situation like this right at the begining of this post.

i would think its time for the necrons to get a new codex

Dang, why wont my car start????

Oops, sorry, you are right. I was looking at the wrong post. That one was not directed at anyone; it was just in the general theme of the thread.

Soo nobody really knows when thinks are coming out.

Bully for you. Find better opponents.

Hang on, i'll just give Tzeentch a ring...

..."Hi, is there any chance of GW ever giving us accurate release information months/years in advance, then sticking to it?"...

..."TZEENTCH SAYS NO!"

..."Bah".

Whilst we know that some things are definitely on the way, there's really no telling just when they'll appear in the shops until GW prints some new pictures for us all to coo over. Still, it's fun to debate/wishlist stuff in the interim.

For now... at least.

GW should release a schedule but with Planetstrike and new terrain, why bother?

i would love to see a new Necron codex with some new units, not because i can't win, but because the same units get boring after 2 editions. GW needs to get their priorities straight.

(sorry if i misspelled priorities.)

Well then, care to enlighten me on how you're winning because everything I've tried to make the Necron list work in it's current form has met with nothing but failure.

Is it wrong of me to not really want the new SW dex? Look at things lately most of the releases haven't been that good, like the SM dex, and as HMBC always points out the CSM and Daemons codex. There are things about the current SW dex that are really awesome, but with Phil Kelly writing it I fear it could turn out like what my friend describes as the change between Ork books. They are gonna loose their options, yet have their own equivalent of Biker Nobs.

All the 3rd Ed books needs is a few changes.

Codex: Orks and Codex: Eldar were both quite good. Codex: Ultramarines and Codex: Chaos Space Marines were both bad. Look at the authors and see if you notice any connections.

Well while I do think the Eldar one is pretty good I just don't know about the Ork one, I am inclined to go with what I have seen by while glancing through both Ork books and them seem alot more narrow in the way they can be played. Wall of Boyz, Boyz in trukks, Biker Nobs, but I really cant say.

On the note of the SM dex what else has the guy who wrote it worked on? And is it just me or does it seem like horribly written fan fiction to any one else? With all the heroes seemingly working with one another at some point or another.

I am very fond of the Ork codex, though I might request some wargear that costs 1-2 pts since 6pt boyz don't really add up with all the 5 point interval upgrades

I don't think the SM codex is too terrible, but then I have only played about 2-3 games with it, and I never liked playing marines, just buying them.

Still, unless Phil Kelly's name is on a codex, I might be concerned. The IG codex is ok, but only ok.

Good thing then that the rumours say Phil Kelly is writing the DE book
Who actually wrote the Chaos book? He needs to be taken out back.

If the Chaos guy did the IG book, I'd be elated to have "Cult" Platoons (i.e. Mech, Light, Carapace, Drop), along with "Markable" Veterans.

As the IG shows, there are worse things than having your Codex Chaosified.

But according to rumor, Phil has been working on DE for a long time now. Perhaps he will have gotten tired of the whole thing, and will simply pass the buck over to Robin to clean up and finish...

Oh Christ no
Arbitary restrictions all round. 'No you cant take Archites in Wych squads'
'No Heamoculi can join Grotesques' and other such 'gems'

In my local store last week the talk was of a new codex that combined DemonHunters and WitchHunters into a single allied codex

The studio has denied this, but who knows?

It would be great if they did do it, DH is a great range of minis but hard to use and win with. Also, now IG is done how do you do imperial allies? No mention of them in IG codex I can remember.

They're not combining DH and WH into a single Codex and, in fact, the next DH and WH Codices won't even be DH or WH Codices, they'll be Grey Knight and Sisters of Battle Codices, because the Inquisitorial side of things will be shrunk and genericised to the point of pointlessness (pun intended).

And the people out there who play Inquisitorial armies w/o GKs or SoBs (such as myself) can put their armies on the shelves next to their Lost & The Damned armies.

Doesn't need to be a mention. Full rules for using DH or WH as allies, or using allies with them, are in those respective codicies.

No more codex: carnival? So much for my Killer Klowns from Outer Space idea.

mat Ward was on War of the Ring, but thats as much as I know.

Speaking of WH and DH, I want a Deathwatch update. Some Ordos Xenos rules would be sweet.

Well, I know DH need a new codex because they're not doing any good in the games i've played. WH i haven't even seen the codex, so i guess we should be seeing them soon or they're going to be the next dark eldar.

Isn't there supposed to be a new race or something coming? I'm crossing my fingers for Adeptus Mechanicus.

Adeptus Mechanicus are human; we have that race already

There is a new race rumoured to be coming in Fantasy Battle, not 40K. If we do get a new 40K race, it may be New Squats (Demiurg), as Jervis did drop them as a possibility, after all the existing armies are brought to fifth edition.

AdMech make more sense than Inquisitorial armies.
