Seriously, if GW are normally paranoid about leaks, how do you think they're going to be when we have the WD relaunch, (potentially) C:CSM preorders, and Gamesday UK all on the same weekend? I'll be happy if I'm proved wrong, but I doubt we'll see any real leaks at all for this one; the new WD hasn't even made the rounds at the studio yet, let alone arrived with the people who might be inclined to leak us a few piccies.

The CSM, Possessed and Terminators are all from 2007, not 2006. I wouldn't expect any new plastics for them. I'd expect something for Raptors and Havocs as well as something for Chosen.

My bad! I remember Codex: Chaos Space Marines coming out not too long after I started the game, but didn't remember if it was 06 or 07.

I actually would have thought GW would want a tiny leak on the new WD, to get an intitial reaction to the new design so they know what to prepare for.

I bet $10 of the taxpayers' money that tomorrow we will see a video for CSM.

I hope so, I have been waiting too long for this new Chaos codex!

So little info so close to the supposed release...Maybe GW finally succeeded in cracking down on leaks after everyone and their mother knew about Dark Vengeance a week before GW announced it.

I just realized the new PA CSM are just as tall as terminators.

Finally upping the scale, GW?

Not to mention the cultists that are as tall as marines. Good thing I based all of my terminators on cork. I need to re-base my marines on cork now though to make them taller.

The new Plaguebearers are enormous too. To be fair they're bigger than my 32mm Black Scorpion cowboys too. Probably about 34/35mm to the eyes.

Fixing the scale?

From the sounds of it, they're borking it up worse than it already was!

Yea, this is probably more accurate

Here's hoping. Although we know that it would be nothing but a black background with white text saying "Something is coming..."

Been saving for this release for a while, even a poor quality teaser would give me some confirmation that we are getting close. I am ready to spend some money!

Ha, forgot about that, yeah thats a good and logical guess hope so though anyway, just something, anything will do.

Screw the video...

I wanna see some Piccy Wics !

How dare you demand to see photos of a product before giving GW your hard earned money, who do you think you are some kind of customer?

Is it just me, or is this topic nothing but typical "It's not what I wanted, it's terrible, I'm switching to Boremachine"?

It's a new Codex. Be grateful you're getting it at all and STOP WHINING.

You're absolutely right. It's nothing but whining here.

Which is why the last thread on the upcoming CSM Codex was closed.

Aside from the rampant speculation and wish listing, of course...

My batman™ sarcasm belt is put away.

What does everyone thing about the supposed piece of wargear that lets sorcerers "reroll up to their mastery level in dice, after rolling"?

Perils protection? Hmmmmm.

Can't wait for more details.

I hope GW trolls everyone with a DA video.

The cultists are out of wack because they're scaled relative to the Imperial guard which are just as skewed. That said the starter box being what it is isn't about being as high quality as the regular kits; they are nice models but all the models sacrifice something to fit on that sprue and for some that maybe conssitency with the rest of the range. At the end of the day GW just isn't concerned with scale. There has never been a time when GW's models were in a consistent scale with the entire offering.

Wouldn't the inclusion of feathers in a video be ambiguous?

Tzeentch and Deathwing and all.

I suck at jokes... -.-

They are about the same height, but less bulky.

I always thought that the terminators looked small. They are supposed to super hulking walking tanks. They just look like another type of power armor to me.

I am really pumped for the new dex though.

I shall wait for the codex and read it like a giggle school girl. I hope the sons are like 2 points cheaper or something. Their expensive yeah but I love them so!

Look at the time, I must go, tzeentch has a plan, this I know, the changer of ways is all we know for if time stood still.
Who would know?

He ate his khorne flakes every day .

It'd be kind of neat if the size was representative of Chosen getting a second wound or something.

I enjoy the whining. It's hilarious to me. At the end of the day, when GW releases their product, those that will buy it will buy it, and the sales will speak for themselves.

So will the painting forums, which will see an influx of painting articles on the new Chaos models, and so will the strategy forums and blogs, which will see an influx of ideas on how to break/abuse the new Codex and what it means to be the first 6th edition Codex.

And those that want to switch to another system will either do it like men, or will twit about like little pansies with roses coming out of their butts because at the core of it the Chaos release is going to be awesome.

Eventually the pansies will finally jump on the bandwagon, make a netlist, and then whine about how they can't win any games against any of the OP Tau or Tyranids. This will be because they have no actual skill because they spend too much time whining instead of playtesting their army of choice.

I crush pansies like this every day. Sometimes, I even force them to join Warmachine just so they'll stop bothering the good 40k group. Typically, they end up migrating back to Yu-Gi-Oh! where they belong.

Ooh. Too much burn?

drbored for prez?
