With the likes of Blood Angels and Space Wolves being supplementized I'd say odds are fairly good of Death Guard going the same route, unless the codex has been spoiled at some point and I've missed it.

Notice how the Death Guard book is listed on its cover as a Codex while the Space Wolves, Deathwatch and Blood Angels are listed as Codex supplements? Case closed.

Yeah. Chaos get the friendly treatment again and only have to buy one book. Marine players are suckers that have to buy two

wanna bet when WE and EC are out that they then TOO get folded into supplemental style system

i mean, what better way to monetise the two most numerous factions in the game, then by double selling them their rules ..

I'm still betting we'll see supplements for all the Legions that don't currently have their own codexes for that very reason

*looks at 4th, 6th, and 8th edition csm codexes *
*looks at loyalist codexes from the same eras*

You have a very odd definition of "friendly treatment".

Chaos players have been stuck buying two Codices since they ripped Daemons out of our book.

So DG gets supplement now but with no parent the supplement is actually useless?

That makes little sense.

It has been said many times Death Guard are getting a full codex.

DG get their full Codex now and get it replaced by a Supplement after the parent CSM Codex is done

That seems even less likely.

Yes.but if billicus claim would be true i　pointed end　result.　that would alone be proof it's not supplement as you　could not　use it without core book. If gw had been　planning supplement route main codex would be out. Not "here's your supplement, now wait unspecified amount of months to actually use it"

The Forge World Legends document having Death Guard and Thousand Sons replace <Heretic Astartes> with each of their own unique <X Astartes> Keyword is more of an indicator that GW is doubling down with the separation of the Cult Legions from the rest of Chaos.

I'm genuinely curious as to whether or not it's an indication we might also see Daemons of <insert god here> added into the codices too.

One can hope.

I mean, I said it seemed likely unless it's been spoiled and I've missed it, literally the next post was someone pointing out that yes, it has been spoiled and yes I had missed it, so I'm happy to retract the idea, don't need to go on and on about it

The unit entries are in there, they just need some relics and not to break perks.

pls gif EC

Sounds like Hedonites of Slannish and Death Guard to me. Are their more models for these factions to reveal than have been shown already? Or is something new, like Emperor's Children, being revealed?

"We’ll also be taking a look inside this year’s Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar battleforces."

So confirmation that there will be Battleforces and they will be shown off this week

Also Decay say Nurgle to me but I don't think Death Guard is getting more models for their release next month and AOS Nurgle hasn't gotten a new Battletome since 2.0 so maybe that?

The Slaanesh stuff is definitely Hedonites, based on the January Warhammer Store coin, unless it's a massive reveal that also includes EC (even if only by confirmation).

Can't really imagine what Nurgle might be if it's AoS, because it's a bit much for just a Battletome update to be included in the preview name. Maybe Pestigors, at long last, to also be a late appearance in the DG Codex?

As discussed earlier there is 1 definite character and are other kits that need released.

Thats what I meant, I don't expect any more models than we already know about and them just repackaging DI somehow

We know of one new character and one new terrain piece.

There are definitely gaps in the line that need releases to fill them now the DI-based sets have rotated off sale.

I wouldn't be shocked if this release is about stealer cults size.

I fear it's just going to be tough love and a 'you should have got them sooner' with no replacements for the missing DI stuff

(and that makes me sad as i'd be buying them if we did get new stuff)

Maybe we’ll get a rest of the world release for the Plague Caster paint set.

That's not really how GW operates these days, they want to be able to sell you anything that has rules and vice versa, so either the options would need to be cut or they need a way to sell the models.

As it stands, I'm not going to try to predict which way they'll go in this case. It would seem awfully harsh to Legends options after one edition, but I can't rule it out.

Both are just as likely.

Which is stupid. They lost a bunch of units and the inconsistencies are quite frankly hilarious bordering on sad.
