Marshal Loss Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Already a thread in News & Rumours. Date makes a lot of sense though, as this is the date for the Black Legion preorder Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337245-chaos-codex-release-date-8517/#findComment-4835266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 More details? What's the Black Legion preorder? A book? A set? Novel by ADB, sequel to Talon of Horus. Talon of Horus was a huge success so it makes sense they'd link the releases together as this book is highly anticipated. You can find it on the Black Library website Silverson and Brother Aiwass 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337245-chaos-codex-release-date-8517/#findComment-4835293 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodd1888 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 this bodes well for my beloved 1k sons and my fledgling death guard. Fantastic! Agreed. This would allude to either TSons being in the first 10 releases or early on in the next block. Excellent.

Yarmoss Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) So if World Eaters and Emperor's Children are in this codex then the chance of them getting their own book for 8th Ed is, what, somewhere between fat chance and no chance?

Panzer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The chance for them to get their own Codex remains unchanged. It just means they won't be getting one within the next few months....which is not exactly surprising since we're still waiting for the Death Guard Codex to drop and we still haven't gotten ANY leaks or rumours about them or their models anyway. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337245-chaos-codex-release-date-8517/#findComment-4835458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'd say 22nd.I mean even if that's not the likely date, it's better to expect the later and get positively surprised than the other way around. :D Berzerker88 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337245-chaos-codex-release-date-8517/#findComment-4835527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaanbull Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well, the 22. is a tuesday while the fifth is a saturday, one of them seems more in tune with usual releases. Also; I'm hoping for the fifth as on the twentieth a couple of buddies and I are leaving for a short fate of konor centered holiday. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337245-chaos-codex-release-date-8517/#findComment-4835544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 World Eaters and Emperors Children will come. World Eaters likely first of the two. Though I'd be pleasantly surprised if EC was first. What I'm really curious about is if Typhus and Ahriman are in this codex. If not it bodes well for future special characters. I'm not super excited for this edition of the codex, but I'm extremely excited for the one that will come next.

Sception Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) So if World Eaters and Emperor's Children are in this codex then the chance of them getting their own book for 8th Ed is, what, somewhere between fat chance and no chance? They'll get codeces when they get their cult release waves. Probably still in 8th edition - unless 8th edition rolls into 9th sooner than anyone expects at this point. But since you're in the CSM codex, you almost certainly won't be getting your own codeces / release waves this year. I expect at least one of the remaining cult legions to get their release next year, but that's pure guesswork on my part. Me too, I've been considering throwing together a small force of tzeentch renegades, either Scourged or Oracles of Change. It's possible that some of the former aligned renegade forces may be retconned into cult legion subfactions, so it might be worth waiting until the Thousand Sons book is out before starting Scourged or the like as a tzeentch renegade army.

Ashe Darke Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Blurb says 45 datasheets, does that cover everything? I did a quick count and can 41 that there are definitely models for (not counting fortifications) or kits to make the models.

Sete Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This just brings the stuff up to 8th edition, and it will give GW time to make new subfactions. Eh. Might pick this up for the fluff.

Sception Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Blurb says 45 datasheets, does that cover everything? No. By my count, the HA section of the index has 47 datasheets, and that doesn't count the expected new sheet for Exalted Champions. Either some things are getting truncated (perhaps the daemonic steeds will be upgrades instead of separate dataslates), or some things are getting left out entirely (perhaps rubric & plague marines are being made cult-legion exclusive, or perhaps cypher & the fallen will be dropped from the basic CSM book - iirc they aren't in the vanilla marines codex, either). Or maybe some combination of the two. If daemonic steeds are rolled into the parent sheet, that cuts /seven/ entries from the book, so even with exalted champions there would still be four more new sheets. If just the rubrics & plagues or just cypher and the fallen are removed, there would still need to be at least one more sheet dropped to account for exalted champions. If all four of the rubrics, plagues, cypher, and the fallen are dropped, that would open up space for the exalted champion with one sheet left over - perhaps the exalted might get two sheets? Champion on his own and champion with a bike or jump pack, maybe? With no existing model, and no new models expected, that seems unlikely. I don't know how exactly we're starting with 47 sheets, probably adding one, and ending up at 45. Something is definitely up, though.
