New Codexes

[eldargal]

A little on it from Harry:

Sculpts have been around for about 18 months. (and well worth a bit of saliva )

I honestly don't know the order they will appear ...

.... but if it helps, the order that I heard about them was: Grey Knights, Sisters, Black Templar.

Whilst I expect them to appear in this order .... This was a couple of years ago so anything could have happened in the development stages before release order was set in stone.

(Lord Castellan is a braver man than I ... I certainly would not be risking my todger on the table with a guarantee of anything!)

The first army I ever had was Dark Angels and while I don't think the Codex is as bad as the interweb makes it out to be I'd really like to see a new one pronto.

just pray you dont have matt ward writing... crudaces dexes are OP but fluffy

A little more from Harry:

I just went and checked.
Last July is when I finally got it straight which was first DE or Grey Knights.
At that time ... after DE and GK I thought that Necrons and sisters were next ... but did not know which order.
I don't think that will have changed.
So I imagine these two will be next and Templars after that?
(If they are a full army release).

BT don't need doing. Thanks to the FAQ they're pretty good right now! And frankly the furthur away from constant marine releases GW get the better for us...

Thye might see a release around the release of Dark Millenium

[GrenAcid]

Better for us would be more xeno...and SoB(you gota love them).
Eldar&CSM dex before 6ed willbe a nice thing, just too update all armies and made some shift with 6ed(and mabye some major fluf change like death of emperor- dark time for =][= and with 7-8 ed reincarnation of Emperor and new grand crusade---Damn..I would enjoy it even if I play xeno)

[justsam]

some weird instinct based on absolutely nothing tells me we'll see a 26th crusade before the emperor dies. progress is scary.

[eldargal]

Agreed, the Necron-SoB-Tau thing really sounded ideal (Xenos-Girls-Xenos) with no Space Marines in sight.

Better for us would be more xeno...and SoB(you gota love them).

No but seriously, Tau have very few metal models and editing their codex to fit in with the other 5th edition ones would be a snap. Throw in some squadrons, delete some rules that don't make sense, change the cost of some models possibly buff something aannnnnnnddddd for the big splash that always comes with a new codex? Make a new model (or box of models) for something that already exists but you were to lazy to make in the first place. Also, make it extremely over priced.

Where as Necrons has lots of metal models still. Plus Necrons are the new Dark Eldar, minus the "they were still competitive with dark lace spam."


Just a thought: Tau, Space Marines, Sisters, Chaos Daemons, Space Marines, completely new codex called ULTRA MARINES!, Eldar, Orks, Space Marines, Necrons followed immediately by 6th Ed. which basically makes Necrons over priced, makes all there special rules null and void and basically makes them unplayable, yet again.

[eldargal]

That could well be the case, just insert Necrons and SoB at the start instead.

Am I the only one who read "SPACE MARINES" in the Team America Matt Damon voice?
