Wayward Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry2980087 As stated here. DA/Fallen book was a kinda ovious thing after I read it. Adds character to the whole duality thing about DA. Last book of the current edition AGAIN. That doesnt look so good though...

shintuhadoken Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If this is true (i'm taking it with a pinch of salt for the moment) then happy days. I was looking at starting to order some new boxes of marines, one a month untill release, to put them all together once i got the new codex. May have to speed up my plans <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Uriah Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Maybe it'll be the first look at 6th Edition, rather than the last look at 5th...? <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well, this schedule, if true, kind of explains the mystery picture in the back of WD here VERY EXCITED!!! Don't care if it is the last dex of the 5th or the first of the 6th I just WANT! Besides since the codex philosophy remains unchanged why the worry? Hope this is true.

Buyback Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Last Codex in 5ed... :D I'm not to happy about that... . If DA codex will again be a test bed for 6th ed C:SM than my army is going strictly to showcase and I'm going strictly painting/modeling. Besides I was hoping that WH40 cedexes will go the same road as WFB army-books - hard covers, color pages... . I would be happier if our codex would come out q4 2012 AFTER C:SM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at starting to order some new boxes of marines, one a month untill release, to put them all together once i got the new codex. May have to speed up my plans :D It could be we are the test bed for Ultramarines again. It will all depend on how much crying and complaining the Space Marine players do again to see if any changes are warrented. Funny how Chaos is suppose to be after DA, but no Eldar? Now that is going against history. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they were right about Sisters of Battle no? Also the people who are suppose to be reliable really have gotten the February release so wrong. So I guess you can say it doesn't matter who it comes from. If anything at least BoK is more reliable than the others right now becuase they are the most receant ones who have been correct.

shintuhadoken Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Last Codex in 5ed... :huh: I'm not to happy about that... . If DA codex will again be a test bed for 6th ed C:SM than my army is going strictly to showcase and I'm going strictly painting/modeling. Besides I was hoping that WH40 cedexes will go the same road as WFB army-books - hard covers, color pages... . I would be happier if our codex would come out q4 2012 AFTER C:SM Well after the last codex made about 5,000 points worth of squads against the rules i kind of gave up on it. I've only just really started to get back into the swing of it (but refused to buy anything new until i knew there was a chance of something better. Now i know i can start buying a few boxes and once i have the codex i'll have the start of a new DA force. As long as Asmondai returns and we get some new models for characters i'll be happy.

Lord_Hail Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hopefully this book will be written with 6th edition rules in mind, the cron codex was written with 6th in mind if i remember correctly. And unless they allow us to deep strike landraider and assault that turn i doubt SM will have anything to complain about... except for our BT brethren if this is true.

Grimdarkness Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well this should be fun waiting 18 to 24 months to see if your army might be nerfed by the new vanilla codex. Fingers crossed in dose not happen.

Candleshoes Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Wonderful to hear if this is true. I almost shudder to think at where we were on the rumor mills before, potentially years out, with nothing at all on the horizon. One item of note that I find very interesting... A combined DA and Fallen book might lend the "flavor" and much needed story/lore structure to move forward a solidified 5th/6th ed Dark Angel image. It would be divergent enough to move away from other power armor codices, and has always been a focus in our BandC discussions. Again, if true, it will be a wonderful and needed step forward.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 All this deducted from an incomplete image on 2 WD's? Nah, I'm not getting any hopes up, if anything I prefer not to be last codex of an edition again...

Captain Semper Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The incomplete image is pretty cool though, isn't it? And, again if true, I completely agree with Candleshoes on the DA/Fallen combo. Can't wait! *crosses fingers rumor is true* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Is there a photo of this partial image anywhere?

Darmor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 First DA rumour after such a long quiet period - and actually I'd be glad if it will be true. Aaah, Candleshoes, you must be reading my thoughts :wallbash: I'm curious about the possible title of this book. Codex: Angels of Darkness? And one more. Once there was one interesting question that came to my mind: "How can Matt Ward drastically change Dark Angels fluff in his very own way?". The first answer was "He can teach them to forgive." And now we have this rumour about united dex. So what can this potentially mean to our fluff? Are GW really going to "reforge the sword"?

In regards to Fallen I'm very partial (and strong minded). To me they're just fluff and shouldn't be translated into army lists. Sharing a codex with the enemy is just wrong, IMHO. Hopefully it's just a rumor. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246306-da-book-coming-up-on-first-half-of-2012/#findComment-2980417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually follow links to random rumour blogs so I'd missed that. :) I'd happily share a book with the Fallen but the suggestion of some kind of reconciliation or forgiveness makes me shudder with revulsion. I'll just file that one alongside previous junk rumours like 'the Emperor will be revealed to be Tzeentch in disguise' and hope it stays that way.

Pbenner Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I very much doubt there is any forgiveness going on. I have a feeling that we will see a more specialized points setup split in half between Dark Angels and Fallen DA - it will be awesome. This rumor is going to make me pull back on amassing a DW army, I will probably only go with 2-3 more squads as I build my army list and wait and save some money for a big launch buy including a codex and enough Terminators to choke a horse.

Vazzy Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have no issues with a shared codex...or with reforging the sword. We have to be united when our blessed Primarch returns. But, should this be true, the new book will not only be thick(hopefully), it would come out around my birthday.
