Disappointed we are not seeing any animosity rumours in regards to other Chaos Gods. Wonder if that'll be a thing.

Also incredibly disappointing there isn't going to be any more of these and only Khorne is getting this treatment.

:(

Schocktruppen is indeed Deep Strike

No one has said that it's only Khorne. This is probably just the first one of a series.

Don't DoK come with Rage already? I'm hoping Rampage.

DoK gives FC and Hatred (Slaanesh).

I doubt it since we're not seeing any rumours of late for Slaanesh, Nurgle, or Tzeentch. I seriously doubt Tzeentch will get a codex , Slaanesh will get a Codex, and Nurgle will get a Codex. It's just not going to happen.

Warboss85, is there some new artwork shown in the Codex description photos? I fear this is a low-budget product like Crusade of Fire/Kreuzzug des Feuers...

Will the Codex contain the complete rules for the Khorne units included like we guessed?

Again, see Sad Panda's post on page 4. He was right on with Khorne and has been a reliable source otherwise.

Please read the Sad Panda posts on page 4. There are no plans for other books. He is a reliable source

Got Ninja'd by Mr Gorgon

He specifically states that it's not going ot happen, that this was a sales grab because of the Khorne releases for End times.

Dang. This does not augur well for my CSM...

Here are the new Bloodthirster profiles for 40k.

THANKYOU!

But... German. Hmm...

[EDIT]: Ah, nice to see this enormous model is still T6 in all its incarnations. Keep on being scared of T7+ GW...

Well that suckerinos. I was all excited for some Nurgle stuff.

Wait until you see rumours for the next release of a plastic Greater Daemon before calling it confirmed we won't get other books, obvious company leak guy or no.

Any benefits worth noting on the formations Warboss85?

Cheers very much Warboss! If only GCSE German gave me the power to translate those pages.

Might aswell add em to the front page.

I'm more curious about the Blood Token system, I wonder if its all units or just non vehicle units and what's the requirements etc..

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the first time there has ever been a Codex release that didn't have a model release along side it (WD Sisters and Blood Angel Codices do not count)?

The most recent Grey Knights?

Yes. All they got was a reboxing.

Maybe whenever GW gets around to making new kits for those Greater Daemons in plastic.

That depends on if you count the "Warhammer: Khaine" book as a Codex/Army Book or not.

I would say that this one not coming with models is a technicality at best as the new Bloodthirsters came out two weeks ago or so.

So this isn't really anything new... Interesting, I like the idea of simple faction/codex adds.

I was going to say Dark Eldar, but then I remembered that they got their bomber finally.

It is an odd codex. I wonder if they're testing the waters to see if it sells well before going full in on the idea with the other gods and dedicated releases?

Really expensive hardback faction/Codex add-ons that jumble a bunch of units from other books together, fixing none of the existing flaws. Sure. We need more of these.

Yes there are a few new artworks in the codex. But in the wd i just can see the little preview.
And yes there will be full profiles in it.
The Khorne mission objectives sounds funny. Kill something and get a victory point. kill more and get more victory points, so simple :-)

Can we get some translations on these from Ze Germans.

Exactly!

I do like some new artwork.

For the Blood token system they mention in wd that EVERY killed unit give you 1 token. The point is that you loose all the points when you dont use all that you have.
For example you have 2 points then summoning 8 Bloodletters for 1 point you will loose the other one.

There isnt much to translate, not having my codex daemons at hand, seems the 250 pts one is just a BT, the 275 has the BIG axe of khorne which is Str D but has colossal rule which makes it I1, the special rules seems to be exactly the same as the current BT for these 2.

The 300 pts one has besides those rules Hatred enemy characters, also comes with two weapons, Axe of Khorne and Bloodflail (sp?), it has a S5 AP4 flamer with soulblaze (awesome rule) and his flail can be used as a range weapon as well 12" S7 AP2 assault 3, and in close combat is Str User Ap2, Nahkampf = Close combat and spezielle is special but dunno what the second word is
