Next codex announcements?

Sybarite Posts : 344 Join date : 2017-11-16

There is an open day at Warhammer World on 6th January. The article suggests they will be talking about upcoming releases for 2018. The other codex announcements seem to have been made at events etc, so I'd be very surprised if the next batch of lucky winners aren't revealed there.

Whilst I think they will be announcing the next releases on the 6th, I'm definitely not banking on DE being one of them! But each army ticked off does bring our codex closer.

"Welp, that's all the codexes done. The new Sisters are a treat, and no-one saw it coming when we released the Squats! Hah!"

"Um sir, what about the Dark Eldar?"

"Oh crap! Okay, just grab their index stuff, shove in the Chapter Approved changes, and copy fluff from the old codexes. Boom, done, get it out the door!"

You're now officially my proxy. This sums up my confidence in GW very well.

I disagree. They will try to make it slightly better then the index, so there will be 5 sentences added.

"Their dark lances seemed really strong let's make them 30 points."
"Wait, Don't they still need a bonus if they all have the same faction keyword?"
"I don't have time for this, let's just give them a few,
They complained about overwatch so a 6++ versus overwatch,
And let's re-use some old ones, they can reroll 1s when they stand still,
And the 6+++ sounds good"
"They already have a 6+++ and they have 3 factions wych cult, kabals and covens"
"Damn they are powerfull already, then... uh.. give them the perfect weapon one where they can reroll 1 dice for each unit, that sounds a bit like covens right?"
So reroll ones if they stand still for kabals, reroll 1 to hit in each unit for coven and a 6+++ for cult. And now stop whining."

Melee only. And Liquifiers, I heard they need a buff.

I would pay money, just to hear you guys outcry if they did that Razz

In all seriousness I don't think it's too unreasonable to assume they might announce the codex releases for the next 3-4 months and that dark eldar might be included. On the other hand I'm only a recent convert to DE so maybe the healthy dose of skepticism for DE players hasn't affected me yet.

Next codex announcements? 26169517_1952017071785589_1499464613730408974_n

Maybe Deathwatch, Necrons, and Tau/Orcs?

Hekatrix Posts : 1148 Join date : 2015-12-06

I strongly suspect that teaser is for necrons, doesn't really fit any other faction.

Squats return.

Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page states it is a "HUGE" announcement.

Necrons comes to mind first...but that wouldn't be a huge announcement, that would simply be another codex release.

What has been watching (perhaps silently?)
What has been waiting (you know...for a new line of completely plastic models?)

Sisters of Battle / Sisters of Silence.

That's my guess. It is GW, god forbid they focus on anything other than the gd Imperium.

I'll take it a step further and say GW attempts to temper the fact that they are doing yet another Imperium focus by announcing Tau/Necron codexes next.

Both have pics.

Aww.. Hoping they will announce the next 3 books. But one of them is custodes.

And heard some rumors that the other 2 are necrons and ynnari.

Really pushing me of starting an dark eldar army right now Sad

Sigh.

Might as well get started on the dark eldar army any way. Guess they will get a codex some day
