From lady atia blog:

Howdy Guys and Girls

via a friendly raven ^.^

"First monthly white dwarf has the new Khârn in it (leaning forward charging).

Also a campaign type book with new rules for Chaos Space Marines. It's not a new Codex, but does have cool new rules.

Also included is the new Deathwatch Codex with Artemis Model and the new flyer for them. Looks like a mix between a tau and imperial flyer."

As always, take it with a tiny bit of salt but that one is usually pretty spot on =)

Regards,
Lady Atia

first i've heard of a new Kharn...
that would be awesome!!!

really excited for a 28mm Brother Artemis, and to see what they do for the rest of the Deathwatch...
the arms in Overkill finally have the elbow guard, and the slightly bulkier arms look really good
the extra mags and kit jumped out at me as soon as i cracked open the box...

can't wait to see this new White Dwarf format, especially with this rumer of Kharn, Chaos Marines and Deathwatch featured...
this is good news!!!

cheers
jah

Regarding the campaign book for CSM

Atia - B&C

-Is it going to be Khorne exclusive or all factions?

I think everyone will be happy

And Kharn IS a plastic model. GW, not FW

Atia - B&C

By THE new Khârn is that the FW one?

Nope
 
Edit: Not a fan of how the quote wall looked so, yeah, plastic Khârn

Well, new CSM rules by September could be cool..

But I fail to see how they can get much done in just a WD, and there is much to do with the CSM.

DW kit better not just be a conversion kit, and it better have dozens of Chapter pads, not just the original loyalist Legion pads.

This will be a campaign book. It will add rules like formations to the current CSM Codex.

Deathwatch will get a Codex book. Plus Artemis and their new flyer kit

Campaign type book.

Oh god no. A Tau style 'here's new units and a page of errata' is not what CSM needs at all :(

Also, I wonder if the Kharn clampack is going to be the teasered cover mount of the September WD issue. Being the 'best cover mount ever' according to GW.

More from Atia on B&C

If it gives me new formations and ways to play my CSM differently I will be happy

 
Also some new psychic powers ...
 
Honestly it's the best we have 'till 8th hits - we wanna use these Chaos Marines for the last days of Humanity

Yea I have to agree a 50-70 dollar campaign book is not what I was hoping for when the chaos codex still looks like its from 5th edition.

Formations don't fix already bad units.

I'm skeptic. If true then GW really doesn't know what to do with their game.

edit: why deathwatch getting their own book? Isn't their whole shtick them being a small diverse squad of a couple guys fighting their way through a kill-team-esque scenario? Why would there be that many of them on the battlefield? It would be like if they sent the local precint of Adeptus Arbites to fight a tyrannid swarm coming their way. More marines = more money I guess.

Inquisition got their own book.

Harlis got their own book.

Hell, Legion of the Damned got their own codex... and it literally only contains 1 unit.

Don't expect any new codexes 'till 8th ed.

And formations did make loyalist foot slogging PA guys worth wielding...You just need heck of a formation bonus.

I hope they don't make him look anything like Skarr Bloodwrath and have all those silly chains attached to his axe.

Can you imagine new Kharn being the 40K this:


Along with new Berzerkers:


*shudder*

The Wrathmongers are actually alright if you model them a wee bit differently, but Skarr is just a terrible model lol. Skarr is at best, a good start to making a beefy Beastlord for your beastmen.

I'd love a new Kharn model, considering I never got round to buying the original. And new formations are hopefully not in place of a new codex

I forgot how terrible the khorne models for AOS were..

If there's a new campaign book then there's bound to be more than just Kharn in store for the CSM.

Good news, better than the usual: SM, SM, SM, SM, SM.

What do you think the OTHER faction of this Campaign book is going to be, huh?

I......I like the khorne models.

So...8th edition next year? I literally just bought the 7th edition ePub/whatevs this weekend. Ah, well.

No soup for you!

I wonder if gw can outdo the awesomeness of the original kharn model...

They're great. Put a bolt pistol in one hand of the Blood Warriors - instant, not-crappy Bezerkers!



I was really hoping this year would see an update to CSM plastic kits (and rules) and a serious diminishing of dinobots. Alas.

If they do do a new Kharn model, let's hope they do it justice this time.

That forgeworld, pre-Heresy Kharn, looked like a dog taking a leak against a lamppost!

Was very hard to take the model seriously after that ...

When is the first monthly WD coming out?

September.

Boy, the last thing CSM (and the game in general) needs is another supplement - they really need a new codex.

But maybe GW is out of the codex writing business? I don't even remember the last actual codex that came out - maybe Tau, coming up on a year ago?

Tau wasn't even a codex, it was just a rerelease with the new stuff in it. The rest of the codex didn't change.

Dark Angels would have been the last actual updated codex.

Let's see, probably just a Formation of Formations instead of a proper Detachment, and the Command Benefit will be Hatred (Chaos Space Marine players).
