Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, Black Templar, Thousand Sons, Grey Knights, Raven Guard, Iron Hands, Ultramarines, Salamanders, Chaos Space Marines, Spears of the Emperor, Charcarodons, Marine Codex V2, Blood Angels V2, Space Wolves V2, and so on.

I mean realistically they never have to print another Xenos dex ever again at this rate.

Didn’t they say aside from supplements shown it’s just DA, as you can use the older supplements with the new book (UM mentioned wasn’t it?)

I cannot believe that they release the Deathwatch in the first line,
and for Chaos... Deathguard/Nurgle... Again!


No 40K until 2021 for me I presume...

What were those big blight chimney things during the deathguard preview? I didn't recognize them and can't find them on the games workshop site. Are they new?

Wow. 4 new Codices, and not a single one is Xenos.

Well done GW...

You did just see the Necron Codex right? Getting almost their entire range of models updated; with at least three or four model releases to come already coupled to being the iconic enemies of the main starting box of 40K?

I mean yeah would have been nice, but at the same time I'm kind of glad to see so many Marine supplements coming out so quickly - gets it over and done with

Just in time for more marine books

Ahhhg refreshing.

It's 3 marine supplements. It was obvious it was happening, they're not full codex releases and in reality in 2020 you have 3 codex releases: space marines, necrons and death guard. Weird that's an even split between chaos, imperium and xenos.

I'm talking about post-da. Person is thinking that marines would be done with da supplement but he's mistaken. There will be more marine books with just occasional non-loalist marine book in between. For one redo ultramarine etc supplements and if gw runs out of ideas supplements for individual companies.

Gw's main cash cow is marines. Specfically loyal ones. They aren"t quickly done with. If you accept it like me it just amuses you.

But different enough that you can't really use the old models.

Rest assured that that was intentional.

Ain't gonna stop me though.

Whelp, I am completely shocked at this point.

I didn't really think we were getting one new model, much less 4 more.

I wonder if this means that we are getting revamped regular destroyers now as well.

And going back to the next few codexes all being marine, not sure the supplements count (like last time they’ll just be thrown out quick).
The next three books are a Xenos, Imperium and Chaos. So a good mix.

Yeah if we talk books in general it’s Marine heavy, but only if you want to get argumentative or complainy.

Given that Deathwatch got excised from PA and havent seen any significant rules updates since their 8th edition codex, they needed to be in the first wave.

Filling out a complete range review for the Necrons with some amazing kits. All of the expected marine releases look great. Then the next few codices can be rushed out for ranges that are already, pretty much complete and don’t require extensive model releases. Hopefully that means we’ll see the next big range review early in 2021 and hopefully it’ll be a complete revamp of something long neglected.

Yeah but it's more. Fething. Marines.

Which clearly a lot of people are excited about, otherwise they would keep releasing them.

It’s not all about you, y’know

Yeah despite the usual marine overuse, the only releases left for this year (unless they change their mid) are already done and prepared, Death guard it's realtively new and already own quite a broad range of models (not saying they coudn't use some new unit for some reason aside the character and terrain show on video).

So there is actually chances they may be revamped some other army models units in this spawn instead of just a codex with updated rules.

P.S: or thay are just clearing the backlog from the Covid pandemic.

Yea you can use them. Like you can use your ork codex now. Doesn't mean new one isn't coming. It's "print money" button. You think gw doesn't want money?

Look like the guy who design death guard love them so much he made A LOT OF sculpt for them. Probably out of his spare time.

Of. Course. It. Is.

They told us they were getting a codex in October last month, we know they had more kits on the way, they have 4 more codex to replace via supplements which they're kindly getting out the way with likely no model support.

I thought it was a pretty solid reveal for the two upcoming codices. The new necron stuff looks really cool.

I then audibly groaned when they went on to reveal that three of the next four codices would be even more bloody space Marines.

Theyre supplements not a codex.

I always assumed that the next few codices after Necrons and Marines would be rushed out with next to zero model support. Is that really what Xenos players want?

And they, IMO, all look great. I dread the price of 5 plastic Flayed Ones (they'll somehow end up being more expensive than the Wraithguard kit, mark my words), but I'm very happy they exist.

I think that was it. I think this preview was everything that's left to come out for the Marine and Necron books.

That means no new proper Destroyers, no multi-part Outrider kit and no proper Suppressors kit. Real shame.

Congrats to the Marine players for all the new stuff.

Fortunately my group has gone to 30k to get away from all the Marines.

If flayed ones can be field at troops Necron players can be lucky and find a 10man troop box if not expect them to be worth the same as the new Eldar Banshes.

There has to be more coming as there isn't a way to buy a Judicar, Bladeguard Ancient, Plasmancer, Crypthothralls, Skorpekh Lord or Canoptek Reanimator with Indomitus gone and I also don't think they will put those sprues into Start Collecting boxes so there has to be new versions of them coming

Which are inexplicably 163% the price of the Wraithguard kit.

You are right. I had forgotten that Indomitus had gone away.

I believe that the big multi-unit sprues from that box will, as you say, go on to be new Start Collectings.

Yes because there's no Marines or Imperials in 30K







Honestly we've got 1 Xenos codex, 1 Chaos Codex and 1 Marine Codex then 3 supplement documents for the Marine Codex and 1 FW Document for ALL races.
Of those the Xenos and Marines are getting a slew of new models and I'd argue that Necrons are getting a lions share compared to the Marines.

I'd call that a pretty fair and even spread. Sure there's more marines after the codex, but they are all bolt-ons to the core codex. So it makes sense that they come out fast because those armies are all using the same core codex.

Honest to God, what is with all the whingers about there being marines in the marine and necron codex preview. We've known for weeks about heavy intercessors and the speeders etc.

Why there is a compulsion to come on and try and act clever with the "durrrrr omg more marines! What a horrid surprise!" reactions?

Same with the books, we know that codex BA, DA, SW & DW were being made obsolete with the new codex, why is it a shocker that they're early in the book cycle?

Because it’s Dakka. Every time I decide to give Dakka another chance I quickly regret it. I’m honestly thinking of asking them to delete my account.

That's the greatest irony of it all. 30k has fewer marine books, fewer marine units, and less marine wargear than 40k.

I don't mind playing Imperium specifically. Humans are neat (and delicious for my daemons).

The fact that release slots for books are:
Marines
Non marine
Marines
Marines
Sick marines
Marines
FW including Marines

And you think think that is a fair and even spread... that release list includes more marine books than 30k has!

Yeah I thought it was pretty good- Really impressed with this Necron revamp, I love the new characters. Hopefully they will take this approach with the other Xenos factions. Don't mind the next few books being marines either as they are mostly supplements. The new year should bring some fresh stuff and I'm happy enough to wait and not have to spend any cash for the next wee while.

ugh. The joke about "making more primaris" is literally the same they made 2 years ago about opening new Stormcast chambers. Except then it was kinda charming and followed by zero new SCE releases since. Here we actually know we'll just get more marines crammed down everyone's throats.

The heavy armor marines look neat, if again entirely redundant.
The flying brick thingy is the worst vehicle model GW ever produced, period. That includes the deo stick tank from Rogue Trader.

The only ray of sunshine I see is if they get out all of the "mandatory" SM supplements so they can actually get around to factions that need the updates. But knowing GW, it seems like they overcompensate with every non-SM release with like 5 SM model kits, so we'll see what other things GW is hiding in their collective model bum.

Yeah. I will be more comfortable if they just get Marines out of the way and then never touch them for the rest of the edition.

But I feel like that won't happen.

Good times for marine and Necron players. As a sisters and guard player, I can welcome the shadows for now. Hoping for a guard revamp 2021, traitor guard, dark mechanics. Only thing from that prieview that I want to know more about is the Imperial Compendium. Repressor and Taurus Venator datasheet? Any idea on a timetable for that?
