ChaosChaos Space Marines are getting supplements for all of the major traitor legions.
These will be more and more complex as time goes on (as will all supplements) and are ordered based around how much they affect the game/core codex, and not based on anything else primarily.
World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, Iron Warriors, Alpha Legion, Word Bearers and Night Lords will all get their due treatment and be fleshed out into characterful factions.
Keep in mind that though mono-god Legions are coming, it's very much so desired by essentially everyone, but it's being handled carefully.
The Book of Khorne (???)
The Book of Nurgle (???)
The Book of Tzeentch (???)
The Book of Slaanesh (???)
Space Marines- There will be 4 supplements released within short succession, possibly even all at once
- They will be called "The Book of Khorne", "The Book of Nurgle", "The Book of Tzeentch" and "The Book of Slanesh"
- They will work for both chaos space marines AND chaos Daemons in a very unique way
- each will have its own unique warlord traits and some new wargear options
I asked how they work for both codex and the example I was given was something along these lines..
Each book is designed to represent a combined force of daemon and marine all working in the will of their chosen patron, this will be done by allowing players to take units from BOTH Codex: Chaos Space Marines AND Codex: Chaos Daemons without the need to ally so long as they all follow the same god. For example in the book of khorne you can take any unit from either codex as long as it doesnt have Daemon of nurgle, slaanesh or tzeentch or mark of nurgle, slaanesh or Tzeentch.
Divergent Chapter Supplements planned (???)
These may include chapters ALREADY included in the Space Marine codex to give them further flavor.
Clan Raukaan (Iron Hands November 2013)
From [URL="http://natfka.blogspot.se/2013/10/november-release-clan-raukaan-iron.html"]here[/URL]:
Clan Raukaan: A Codex Space Marines Supplement is confirmed now for a November release, as information from the November White Dwarf is just now hitting. This will be huge, as a good percentage of Space Marine players are Iron Hands, or are now building an Iron Hands supplement with the release of the latest Space Marine Codex.UltramarinesThis is from the November White Dwarf, Clan Raukaan is an Iron Hands codex supplement set for digital release in November. Here are some of the details mentioned
-Iron Hands companies are named after the clans of Medusa, and Clan Raukaan is the largest of these.
-Battles vs chapters arch rival- The Slaanesh Prince the Saphire King

Chapter Relics,
Apocalypse Datasheets,
Stratagems for Planetstrike, Cities of Death

Orks
Speed Freaks (???)
Freebooters (???)
Blood Angels
Fleshtearers (???)

Hivefleet Kraken (probably one of the below two)
-Catachan Devil noted
Hivefleet (Big Bugs - not real title 2014)
Focuses on Monstrous Creatures. Book adds variant rules for deployment and FOC changes for units like the Carnifex, letting you take them in both Heavy and Elites, plus the ability to operate independently. Hivefleet balances this with some prohibited units, and the inability to go first in any mission.
Hivefleet (Fast Bugs - not real title ???)
Focuses on high speed fast-moving bugs. FOC changes to emphasize these units such as Gargoyles as Troops, new abilities and special rules for Ravenors, while Gants get minor enhancements as well. This hivefleet is balanced by prohibiting "traditional" walking Monstrous Creatures. A new flying HQ unit is included.
Genestealer Cult (???)
The first "hybrid supplement" - this book will be a combined book for IG and Tyranids. It allows them to ally, but heavily restricts units selections. Look for smaller "infiltration bugs" such as Genestealers, Broodlords, Lictors and such while the Guard are very heavily restricted on units. The list's HQ must include a psyker warlord from either the IG or Tyranid units allowed. A new psychic power list is included.
Space Wolves
13th Company (???)
RULES COMPLEXITY
There are reports that Supplemental codices will become more divergent from their source codex over time and the simpler ones such as Iyanden with its 2 page of rules were released first to "test the waters". Later supplemental codices could contain many more rules varying from book to book.
