Hehe rumour time. Eldar are coming, but that release list? Err no. 40k release list for the next year and abit ahoy!

Genestealer Cult
Week1: Hybrids
Week2: Limo, Codex
Week3: Clampack Patriarch, Magus and Broodlord re-release
Genestealers included in dex.


Apocalypse
Week 1: Plastic Nid Dominatrix
Week 2: Plastic Dias of Destruction. (Including Vect and plastic Court.)
Week 3: Apocalypse Book.

Tyranids
Week1: Codex. Dominatrix added, Genestealers removed.

SO! Genestealers are soon gone from the codex, enter Dominatrix and new Tyranid codex. Genestealer Cult codex.

A new codex? We just got a new codex!

Extra salty on them removing genestealers from the main dex. It just doesnt make sense.

Yeah, if they did that then the only way Tyranids will be able to use one of their most iconic units would be to shell out $50+ for new codex and models for them to ally with their current army! What kind of company would purposefully design a system to leech money like that?

.... wait...

Looking at the full thing, this is toward the end of the list, probably early 2016 or so. That would put it around a two year turnaround, which is fast, but not insanely fast for their current schedule, since they've redone every Dex in the game in the past three Years.

Hey, how ya doin'?

At this point I'm too jaded to be mad. I'll probably just learn off the contents of the supplement and just get the codex. My local group won't mind. You can't copyright my BRAIN, GW! Ha ha!

...I hope they don't take that as a challenge.

... actually, I was pretty sceptical about getting an honest to god Codex: Genestealer Cult. Until I realized that the last two codexes were Codex: Harlequin and Codex: Mechanicum.

[nalathani]

I would agree that given the last two-mini dexes that a genestealer cult codex is probable. My issue with a new codex so fast is it was $50 for a nice, hardcover copy of the current codex, and was hoping it would last longer.

Then again 6th to 7th edition was bloody fast so I guess 2 years for our codex is not out of the question!

I'd put biomass on them not taking stealers out of the next nid codex, but having something with a different point cost and maybe different upgrades in the cult list and calling it something like "Purestrain Genestealer" or some such (even though purestrain stealers are what's produced by a hive fleet).

genestealers assaulting out of limos really really appeals to me. man i hope they have the assault rule on those.

[gigasnail]

Sallllllt.

[infornography]

Blech! That is the saltiest thing I ever ate and I once ate a whole bowl of salt!

[seanster3000]

NaCl

Though I truly believe that we need a codex update before Eldar, Tau, or Space Marines. We have 6 units that need to be brought into a codex. Plus with all these new codex releases I feel like Tyranids are falling further and further behind. Our rules in the current codex feel very haphazard and frankly some don't really make much sense with the current meta. I don't feel like Tyranids have a niche like most current codexes have. We need some work to be honest and I don't think some silly Codex: Genestealer Cult will fix the problem. My 2 cents!

I see what you did there..

Honestly I wouldn't care if they took them from the main dex, last time I used them was two editions ago not count ymgarls. Hell if they made them nasty Id even say go for it, take them from my dex and make some use of them, not like their getting table time as it stands.

[doomreaper9]

So what are limos? Never heard or read about them. The dominatrix is going to be in the next codex or new apocalypse book?

[doomreaper9]

Genestealers I don't play with since they got nerfed back in 6th ed. Though I wish GW didn't take away the bio-morphs that made them mean. Acid maw and implant attack were my favorite ones.
