Strahn Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Brothers, Our latest codex, was it 6th or 7th edition? My friend is convinced that it was 6th edition and that at some point we'll get an updated codex with all the fun stuff like vehicle squadrons. Any insight into this? I can't really see anything new in the forseeable future given that our last codex is less than a year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptejn Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 7th. Released 2014 We got alot of formations in the shield of baal series. Not many vehicle squadrons though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 We got a codex in 7th - sadly it was based on the previous marine codex, only to be made out of date in some respects 6 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 general view is that both blood angels and space wolves will get codeci in the same vein as the marine/DA ones. ETA is anyones guess though. The majority of blue/black shirts i've spoken to seem to share the above view, but obviously have no more insight into any of it than you or I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 To be honest, I'd rather just make do until the next edition where they change everything rather than get a new codex only for it to be superceded again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 well, next edition probably wont be for a while, 7th ed was basically meant to be 6th ed, but 6th was rushed out to help cover costs after New Line were filing a law suit against GW. Our current codex is alright, and is certainly playable (just not as good as codex marines in many ways), but i wouldn't be at all surprised if we do see an update in the next year or so - they're pumping through codeci at the moment.

Red-beard Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yeap, we're definitely a 7E codex. The new codex isn't top tier, but it's not that bad. (I'm 12-5 with my BA since the 7E dex dropped w/ victories over the top codexes). The Shield of Baal rules help by giving BA more options. But most importantly, the new codex is a lot of fun to play. It's a huge improvement over the older 5E codex, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedemptionNL Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Well, there's a strong indication (Hastings) that codexes will go the way of the dodo within two years. What they are replaced with exactly is still unknown, but looking at the freely downloadable rules for Age of Sigmar I wouldn't be surprised if 40k got a similar treatment. Hopefully that will put an end to codexes being 'outdated'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
