Maybe we'll get a new Draigo model. He can be riding a chariot (the chariot will actually be Mortarion, with his name clearly carved into it).

He can steer the Mortariot by waggling his sword, still embedded in Mortarion's heart, to the left or right.

Shh! Don't give them ideas!

**Eldarain**

That would be silly. You don't want to release two chariots back to back...

Daemon Primarch's Heart surf board. GW loves "adapting" other peoples IP plus he's already Silver.

Haha and its pulled by Doom rider and a unicorn

New Codex.

"beware, daemons, for your time has come!"

The Inquisition now has its own 'army' dropdown on the Store which wasn't there before, though all of it can still be found under Grey Knights as well.

Take that as you will.

That is quite interesting. On a similar note, there is no link to purchasing their own codex.

Although that new Inquisition section is missing several models (including any vehicles) so it may just be a web glitch. Still, I will be following that.

I would love to print my copy, but seeing as the book is formatted pretty badly and I don't want to print the whole codex at home (and I have yet to look into how much Kinkos will cost me to print it) I am stuck with the tablet version.

I reformatted both my C:AS and my C:Inq. AS I printed at Office Max for like $10 (bound and everything). C:Inq, I changed to 4 pages to a page and printed the rules pages at home.

That's it? No other details?

Not a lot more to tell, I called the store to know if he has a box of sanctus reach skyclaw, and he told me no, but that he had been told in an email by the distributor, than a new set was coming.

**Ferrum_Sanguinis**

Yeah, I'm starting to think this will be a digital only codex, especially if Inquisition remains a separate codex like it is now...

This really feels like a last minute thing from GW. Maybe they really wanted a new codex to fit with a possible Sanctus Reach release...and maybe we'll actually see new models later

Why no new models though? I'm not huge on what GK need or want but surely they're lacking a couple bits and pieces?

Yup... Very grumpy right now.

**RedFox**

Blood Angels won't be out this year as september and october are shaping up to be huge WHFB releases and Dark Eldar are due before BA too...

**Brother Payne**

http://natfka.blogspot.ca/2014/08/breaking-new-next-week-is-grey-knights.html

That looks promising.

Tbh I really don't think jet bikes will happen. I'd love it too but I don't think it will.
Chaplains I think will be another GW oversight and they'll get missed too.
Draigo I reckon will have AP2 and a LoW slot coming his way.
Libby Dread is entirely likely even if it doesn't get a new model.
And from the FAQ I think we'll be getting Whirlwinds and the like for sure

I'd also put money on the INQ units to get scrapped and for Stormtalons to get added (were they included as part of Death From the Skies?)

**BrianDavion**

aren;'t all GK dreads psykers already? a Lib psyker could be doable, just "for x points upgrade the dread to a librarian dreadnought with ML2"

Sounds feasable

**Auswin**

My fear is that this codex will be a huge rush job -- as in: "Quick, we need a 7th ed book to move when people buy a sanctus reach box."

If rumors are true that inquisition is getting pulled out AND there are no new models, suddenly an all GK book becomes very boring and "samey." In terms of the tabletop there wont be much variety to running grey knights and that would be a shame.

I may have to do that. Hopefully I will be able to reformat C:Inq without too much trouble.

**Skullhammer**

More likely the gk dex is needed as the faqs changed all there psy powers and made a lot of changes (addded sm vehicals) plus as said earlyer they have most of there models already. So to me this will be a tidy up exercise rather than a full overhaul.

That's a possibility. The GK dex is a total mess atm with half their rules replaced with ones in the rulebook, not to mention psychic powers.

It's pretty easy, I reformatted my Sisters and Inquisition codices too. I just copied everything into Word, repositioned/resized the text and pictures so that the pages lined up logically (I used the full page pictures that are scattered through the books as page buffers where needed) and then printed and bound everything at work. Took maybe half a day, in between doing actual work lol, at the office.

Please oh please, don't let this be yet another groin shot at all Daemon players.

I don' think I can handle getting hit for a 3rd time by a book that's pretty much designed to outright troll my entire army.

**th3maninblak**

Still really hoping all of this is false. Blood angels are the oldest codex and most in need of an update. Might as well do crons while theyre at it, too. Heck, lets just shelve the angels and start with the 6th ed codices.

Meh, GK aren't exactly the hardest matchup for daemons currently. The question is will they author an army that is both standalone and capable of being fielded alongside most factions within the game with minimal effort that will discourage people from buying all those daemons kits which can be fielded by literally everyone (sorry Nids) for no effort at all?

This dove tail nicely with the "daemons wave in August" rumour doing the rounds a few weeks back though.

**Orchal**

A user of the main french warhammer forum (http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index.php?showtopic=221485&st=0) who bought the digital edition of the SW codex today reported that this new digital codex include a brand new army list builder app. But, what interest us, is that he also said that he was able to see in this new tool a different GK army list than the current one, maybe from the upcoming dex (due to a bug). Here is what he reported, of course i cannot tell you if this is 100% legit :

HQ

- Brother Captain (same point cost as before)
-- Grand Master
-- Melta bombs
--Digital weapons
-- Teleport Homer

New relics :
-- Master crafted
-- Bone Shard of Solor
-- The fury of Deimos
-- Cuirass of Sacrifice
-- The Soul Glaive
-- Domina Liber Daemonica

- Brother-Captain stern (less expensive than before, point drop = power weapon),

- BrotherHood Champion

- Castellan Crowe (more expensive than before)

- Librarian (lvl 2), (point deacrase = GK rhino)
-- Niveau 3
-- combi weapon
-- GK cc weapon
-- Melta-bombs
-- Digital weapons
--Teleport homer
--Master-crafted
-- relics

- Techmarine, same cost as before

TROOP

- Strike Squad, a little more expensive

- Terminator Squad, price less expensive than before (the point drop = price of nemesis scepter)
-- no more justicar Thawn
-- Land raider dedicated transport

ELITE

- Purifier Squad, a little more expensive than before

- Paladin Squad, suaqd of 3 for the cost of a 5 man vanilla terminator squad
-- Land raider as dedicated transport

- Dreadnought, a little more expensive
-- can become vénérable

FAST ATTACK

- Interceptor Squad, same cost as before
-- Incinerator, huge discount as GK weapon's cost is the same for every entry now

- Stormraven,

HEAVY SUPPORT

- Purgator Squad, un peu + cher qu'avant. RAS

- Nemesis Dreadknight, same cost
-- Personal teleporter has gone cheaper !

LORD OF WAR

- Draigo Kaldor, cheaper.

SO no more inquisition stuff on the dex.

ps : as i'm french too i apology for the bad english !

**Ratius**

Hmmm, interesting find Orchal.

**Paradigm**

Haang on a minute... Strikes, Purifiers and Crowe are MORE expensive? Madness!

**agnosto**

So, based upon that, it looks like GK's are getting the SoB treatment (i.e. a digital only dex?). If this is true, and I hope it isn't, they've taken all of the flavor out of the army.
