Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 hey all So, I was in my local independent store, and I noticed no DA Codexes on the shelf, which was interesting as they always have DA codexes there. So I ask if they have any in stock, and the manager tells me that 'they are out of stock and no more coming in as we are getting a new Codex this yea' No, this is a rumor, but a fact. Still apply salt as usual (I sure am!) but I am still excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Nice to hear, but we do need to take it with a pinch of salt. I have also heard that it will be later this year, but the recent rumours from Warseer would seem to suggest otherwise. Nonetheless, I shall be quietly optimistic! Thank you for letting us know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Interesting... That should mean DA Codex is due to arrive very soon, they wouldn't leave an army without Codex for very long... maybe 1-2 months time, 3 at most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well the 5th Ed rulebook is no longer available to see, let alone buy, on the GW website, but the DA codex is still there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's still on the GW website, as mentioned elsewhere the BRB isn't. Patience of the Warrior my learned friend. :) stobz EDIT: NINJA'D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 like I said, it was an independent...so this could mean that they have chosen not to top up any codexes and just wait. Not a GW official store. But they did did say 'coming out this year'. When it is...who knows except GW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Well, wait -- the 5th edition rule book has literally been pulled off the shelves and off the website. You can still get the mini thru the AoBR starter box, but thats it. The DA codex is still for sale online. When the gw site pulls the dex - thats when you know something is up. I've heard rumors that the DA dex won't be released until next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sisters got a WD codex. In any case I was just guessing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Angel Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It makes since for vendors to stop ordering them is they Know they need to clear out old stock. Remember they didn't say they couldn't get any more they said the wouldn't. I diduce form this info that DA is on this side of christmas. No way I'd go through a holiday season without at least a couple of the books that I could get that are still good if I ran a store. GW ever done a double release before? 2 codexes for any of their games at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 3rd Ed. Space marines and DE were a month apart, Of course all the others were only 2-3 months apart... that got us pamphlet codexes and rushed rules... Not an ideal situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sesslec Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Has anybody considered that they may release the new Codex on the same day as the new 6th ed box set?... I mean, what specific models would/ do the DA angels need/expect?... Beliel? Deathwing Terminators? Some new bikes? All of these are expected to be in the box set, it wouldn't be surprised if the new codex drops with or shortly after the nex 6th ed box set. Why wouldn't you put out a new codex at the same time as most of the new models for the range are released?.. Quickly followed up by some Chaplins, other models turned to fine cast and perhaps the rumoured Plasma Pred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Has anybody considered that they may release the new Codex on the same day as the new 6th ed box set?... Indeed I have as it has a logic to it. Do I think it will happen? Asked me two months ago and I'd have said 'Yes', now, it's 'Maybe No / Probably Not' :P. But I'd love to be proved wrong :).

Brother Immolator Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 According to my local, we should have had a black templars codex three years ago...So yeah.... It has been proven that store staff are the worst in the rumors business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polythemus Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Ive gotta believethat its unlikely youll get any special models in the box set, based on what ive seen, gw will make you pay individually for any specially designed models. Its likely there would just be some regular terminators and maybe a robed chaplain and some bikes in the boxed set. As for new models I think that its likely that there is a deathwing style fine cast set similar to the wolfguard as the pewter minis have become very dated. There maybe a new master of the deathwing model, but as belial has no need for special wargear this seems unlikely. It seems likely the most likely model will be some new ravenwing troop transport, or a land raider variant, as these would be the most useful for the dark angel player.

EPK Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 There maybe a new master of the deathwing model, but as belial has no need for special wargear this seems unlikely I'd say a generic Space Marine Terminator Captain is likely. Also, the Wolfguard set is plastic. I think a plastic Deathwing Terminator might be possible. But I agree, the starter box will probably be generic with a sprue for customizing to a chapter.
