So you want 4 different special rules per unit and FAQ's longer than your codex?

**Snrub**

What i would like is to keep our current codex for all time. But i will settle for well written* codex buy someone who actually apears to know what hes doing.

*well written is a subjective term i know and i use it here to cover all aspects of the codex (fluff, crunch and sundry).

**xruslanx**

i'd settle for infantry being playable. I don't mind mech guard but it's not really the aesthetic that attracted me in the first place.

**Snrub**

As long as they keep the current platoon structure i'd be happy.

I don't recall either of those problems with Codex: Tau, and half of the FAQ for Codex: DA was an errata of the Company Veteran entry in it's entireity.

A match made in heaven. No fluff he could possibly write is too ridiculous for orks

Maybe we get dakkajets as dedicated transports for everyone

Have a look at his history.

See what the Ward Fantasy Orc book was like.

I don't know the first thing about WHFB, so I really couldn't say anything about it, even if I would go through the trouble of reading it.

Ditto. On both fronts !

Technically there isn't that problem with Chaos Daemons either, because they haven't done a proper FAQ update this year. That doesn't mean there won't be pages of it when it does arrive!

But I've not heard many Tau players, locally or here, complaining over much. There is that daft thing where the bomber technically can't ever fire a bomb isn't there? But nothing like a Flaming Chariot that needs to break the rules in order to work like it is apparently meant to.

Ok, I'll explain:

Ward wrote two books in WHFB during 7th edition that were released quite close to each other: Orcs and Goblins and Daemons of Chaos.

The Orcs and Goblins codex was the weakest in the game at the time, and most of the fluff was copy-pasted from older books. He said in an interview that Orcs didn't really interest hum.

Daemons however, he was interested in and the book was so overpowered it single-handedly broke the entire edition.

**Fezman**

Have to say I don't buy the Steel Legion rumours. Just smells too much of the sort of wishlisting that often comes up on forums.

Ditto for the Baneblade and its variants being in the Codex. Wraithkinghts and Riptides are one thing, but I can't see them putting tanks that are so obviously meant for Apocalypse in a standard army book.

Yay, a separate source that I can track.

**lord_blackfang**

Well, he's not saying much we didn't already hear, but it is convenient that his one divergent rumour (Blood Bowl) is first on the list, so we'll get a good gauge of his reliability pretty soon.

Yeah, I think that's going to sink him pretty quick. But at least he'll be in good company since, iirc, Hastings and Harry banked on Blood Bowl as well.

**grimdark83**

im surprised that they are not waiting till july 30th to release the rulebook, they could sell the 30th aniversary rulebook with goldleaf pages, leatherbound all for the low low price of 300 dollars

**Lucarikx**

No way..... a Blood Angels dex before Sisters?

Tim's list is missing the Dwarfs.

That orc book was terrible

**HisDivineShadow**

Why is there only one author on a book? Wouldnt , oh I don't know, at least a pair of guys be able to bounce ideas around and keep things from getting too out of hand?

The studio as a whole does contribute to various bits (see Mat Ward for Battle Focus in Kelly's Eldar book), just the lead author gets their name as author, I'd imagine.

They do that, but one author still has creative control over it. For example, Ward had input into Codex Eldar and came up with the Battle Focus rule, but it was still Kellys book.

I stopped reading at this point.

Lucarikx

I think Sisters are actually more recently updated than Blood Angels at this point, albeit with a stopgap Codex.

Even in research/engineering papers you only name the 1-4 lead people (while usually anyone beyond the second is ignored anyways), even if you had a team of 100 people working on the result. If you put 100 names on it, no one would care about any of them, just like no one reads all the credits rolling at the end of a movie/game.

Some insights into models that are coming down the track.

A:I have seen a plastic adeptus mechanicus sprue with servitors and human sized (i.e. not space marine) adepts. This definitely exists because I have seen it, so don't confuse it with my second point, although I don't know where it fits in with the release schedule.

B: for over a year I have been seeing various photos of greens, and CAD print outs - so not just concept sketches - for imperial models that are familiar to the inquisition books. I have seen custodes-style models, arco-flaggelants, and ogryn-sized servitors (greens) - as well as a pretty big tank that looks like a cross between a land raider and a leman russ, in the style of the exorcist (CAD).

it seems to have become common knowledge in circles that A) the studio has definite plans for all this, and that B) there will be a 'new' race army book at some point at the end of this edition, similar to Dark Eldar.

'like Dark Eldar' I simply meant that, from the business's perspective, Dark Eldar were a new race when they got their latest codex and models. So 'new race' doesn't necessarily mean something like Tau in 2001, and I'm fully expecting it to be an imperial faction.

A and B may be unrelated. But, based on this, I am guessing that either that this is where sisters of battle will end up, or that their relaunch will be refocused on the weirder parts of the Imperium. I just want to make it clear though, I've never seen a new sisters of battle sculpt

Plastic mechanicus

No sis`?

**gorgon**

Admech is the biggest unrealized concept they have, but I'm skeptical about them becoming a regular 40K codex army. FW is dabbling in it now, which would make you think GW proper wasn't planning anything. Then again, FW has been concentrating on robots, etc. and haven't produced any skitarii or praetorians. So who knows?

**The Shadow**

Wow, this is a massive change to other rumours I've been hearing recently. I thought Dark Elves would be my next army update, and Tyranids would be the last. I'm thrilled to hear that it may be the other way around!

But how reliable are these rumours compared to others we've heard?
