I don't care a jot what they call it. Its the price for the sake of rules for two units that I object to.
The cost for the rules is pretty disgraceful, the fluff does add value but it shouldn't take up the majority of the book. I'm more worried about the potential for this to become a trend in the dilution of content in what we traditionally consider a "Codex" to be.

Just imagine how many ways GW could slice up the Codex: SM if they wanted to milk it. A basic Codex with only the most basic units... Another one for the heavier vehicles and another for the other fancy units. Just trying to scare people. Atleast Freeblades and Mechanicum knights are in here, easy to imagine GW trying to sell them as downloadable supplements.

It's starting to look like that is the approach taken with Codex: Tyranids.

Although if they do Rulebook V7.0 that includes Escalation & Stronghold, it might begin a trend toward combined books!

Just imagine if they tried to sell us a separate book for individual space marine chapters instead of them all being in one book! I imagine it'd mostly be adding some fluff, painting showcases and maybe a couple of unique units and a couple of special rules. With so many rules the same, it'd be a massive rip-off - hopefully we don't see anything like this happening in the future...

Look on the bright side, for a single unit, the codex/army book will only be $32.50($60 for the LE with the fancy slip-cover).

There is a 'how-to-assemble' video posted up on the GW website that gives a good feel for the size of the model as the guy assembles and fiddles with the parts.

And speaking of Chaos knights...I wonder if we'll see one of these variants in the future? If not in plastic, maybe FW?

WOW! This Knight Titan is amazing! I had my hands on one tonight at the local shop, I regret not getting it but my birthday is coming up... Picked up the latest two WD, man I'm digging this new format, two issues with Knights... Sigh, I'm at work so I can't read my Dwarfs...
That Chaos Knight is a really nice build! The pepto-color stinks.
