Codex Rumors

[harry4tw]

Is there anything at the moment? Or is GW keeping this under wraps?

[acehilator]

Only rumor is that Eldar are coming first.

I heard we are getting a new codex before the end of November. #Nidvember. Should have been Orks in October. Orktober, Nidvember, Janynnari. Oh, the missed opportunities.

Also, plastic dominatrix! (I just made that one up, but it's still a rumor.)

Thus far nothing; even the date for the launch is only a rough estimated rumour. Eldar are first then us; and honestly GW keeps a tight lid on their rumours these days so we likely won't hear anything until it starts getting much closer ot the date and GW is giving out tid-bits and stock is shipping to suppliers (that tends to be when the rumours start as retailers get hold of stock)

Assuming the codex previews don't randomly surface in October, the most likely date we'll find out more info is when the next WD leaks appear. That's due Nov 3rd, so I wouldn't expect to see much before the last weekend of the month.

So far it has been 25 to 14 days between Codex announcements, with the time in between decreasing each time by a few days. AM codex announcement was on the 24th. So next announcement should be any day now, it is already the first time in 8E that the time between announcents has gone up.

Interestingly,the previous era of leaks and photos of codexes in the public domain weeks before launch seems to be well and truly over.

Whatever Games Workshop have done, they have tightened up shop and plugged those leaky employees...

GW has had to tighten ship. In the deep past rumours weren't a problem, these days with the alternate sculpt companies which can turn around new sculpts pretty quick; GW wants to keep a tight lid on rumours so that they are the ones with the brand new model out.

It's a shame, but also GW has been really fast with releases and new products so its hardly like we are left waiting for new GW stuff for long periods

Unbelievably, the November WD has started to leak already. Here's the new Eldar start collecting set and FW Space Marine superheavy tank:

Let's hope some Tyranid info surfaces soon.

[acehilator]

With Eldar next, Nid info will take a while. First week of November at the earliest, probably second week.

The SM tank looks sweet AF. Intesting to see just how OP it is going to be.

[Kitane]

And it's done.

Our codex goes on the preorder on 4th November, available on 11th November.

Maybe GW realized how much more work they will need to put into the nid codex to make it "as good" as the other codecies that have come so far so postponed us.

nevermind.

Good work hive

[acehilator]

Wow... that is way early. Are they going to a double announcement after all? o.O

[parzaius]

Another month, huh? I was secretly hoping for sooner, but that's still not as bad as I was fearing. At the very least, it's good to have a date (so I can budget money to buy whatever good stuff shakes out of the codex).
