Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Codex Rumour Summary

I was following the rumours pretty closely when they first came out, than I was utterly disgusted by something someone said on the Warseer forums. That person not only wasn’t banned, they posted in the same thread a few days or hours later.

Yet another reason I don’t run a forum.

My technorati watchlist turned up this post summarizing all the rumours in one location.

I was all set to take my Nurgle 3.0 army to the Vancouver Conflict, I even called GW on the day tickets were suppose to go on sale, only to find out all the conflicts have been cancelled. Some dudes at Thor’s Hideout are trying to create a replacement event, but with all the new Codex rumours my Nurgle 3.0 army may never get fielded as designed. There is a one day tournament at Checkpoint Charlie’s I might enter, but they haven’t written me back.

Story of my life the last few years.

No one wants to email me anymore, apparently not even the wee Chinese lass at the gym. Maybe I should get a shirt made up that says in Chinese characters, “Please email me, wee Chinese lass.” ;-)

    I was hanging out over at Bolter and Chainsword while I should have been looking for a job and was looking through their Chaos Codex Rumor thread, I came across this link which might have the most details yet.

    You can’t believe every rumor you hear, nor everything your read on the internet.

    Chaos models are in the 40K Sneak Peeks section of GW US’s website however.

    Does anyone know the date the new Chaos Codex will be released? September, but September what?

    I put a lot of time and effort updating the Diseased Sons for 4th Edition and the current Chaos Codex. This includes many custom one off conversions which if rumors are to be believed will be illegal in the new Chaos Codex.

    Despite all the setbacks in my life, I’m still thinking of entering West Coast Mayham if I can get a ticket to the 40K tournament. I can’t paint or playtest anything using the new rules in time for this event which is September 15th so I would prefer the new Chaos Codex to come out after September 15th.

    I went to friggin’ Metrotown and talked to random GW staffers. If they are to be believed, the army box set deal which will include the book at around $250 dollars will be available around September 1st in Canada. The book sold individually will be on store shelves about a month later…

    Also in Google I discovered yet another big rumor/discussion thread, and I bought a few models, some which will be useful in the new rules, some of which have been written out of the new rules.

    I’m also dismayed at the lack of blisters, I mean if you just want a single special weapon or heavy weapon guy you shouldn’t have to buy a box…

    Someone over in the big rumors thread on Bolter and Chainsword says the army box set will be out Sept. 5th and the rules two weeks later on Sept. 19th. He also provides another summary of the various rumors going around.

    I bought the White Dwarf today, the Canadian issue for August 2007, and it says the Chaos Space Marine army set is available August 25th for $275.00. More importantly the Codex is available on September 15th for $35.00.

    I’m going to use the current Codex at West Coast Mayhem, but I’ve been given some thought to how I would use the new rules to make some cool new units. Another option for Lost and the Damned Players or people who are less than thrilled with the new rules is the Renegades list in IA5.

    I never think to look, but I would have rather put the ten bucks I spent on White Dwarf towards Imperial Armor Five.

    After reading about people having it and being encouraged to do some extra sleuthing… The Chaos Codex is indeed out there on the ‘Net, might I recommend Ice Rocket as a search engine to try.

    [...] Nurgle. These Nurglings were bought for another army idea, which never came to be due to my MBA and the new Chaos Codex. I used these guys to test out some colors which you’ll see or not see in my Astronomi-con [...]
