New Helbrutes and Crimson Slaughter Codex

[Deadlift]

Seems GW are hell bent on not doing the chaos legions as a standalone codex. So no Death guard, World eaters, Thousand Sons or Emperors Children. Rumours are Crimson Slaughter are next.

[Mr Mystery]

I can feel the whining from here.....

[lattd]

Aren't crimson slaughter a paint scheme available in DOW 2 and the space marine game? I know they were the focus if the starter set but I think they are older than people remember.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

It'll mean that between the two supplement codices, they've got one which represents some of the oldest Veterans of the Long War - the Black Legion - and now a more recently fallen renegade Chapter.

[Ankhalagon]

Still no legions? So still no money GW-morons. Who cares about the next renegades.

[SaveModifier]

Still no legions? So still no money GW-morons. Who cares about the next renegades.

Kids who got the Dark vengence book and liked the Chaos side, people who want to make an army that represents a newly falled force of Space Marines, GW are a business, they know what they want and they know what will sell, and obviously they've decided that a set of Legion books won't, at this moment, be the best thing to release, what if they plan on doing new Greater Daemon models in 9 months time and want to have books to help push those models?

Calling them morons based on this one rumour is ridiculous, you don't know their long term plans

[Wolfshade]

People hear a snippet, make a snap decision get angry, and people wonder why GW do not do open testing and have closed down the rumour mill quite significantly...

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Like how a very vague rumour of Legion Codecies has now become a promise betrayed by GW..... Despite a lack of corroboration or any kind of evidence to support the Legion books were being worked on at all.

[Wolfshade]

Myth became legend. Legened became history. And for two and a half thousand years, the legion codex passed out of all knowledge

[GravesDisease]

If we insist on playing with toys I guess we should expect to be surrounded by children.
