a shame to those of us who already bought it. they should have done this as not all people can find a white dwarf near them.

yea it is kind of a bummer for those people who did buy it. i was talking to an owner of a private shop the other day, and he was going on about how anything published in WD eventually finds its way to the internet. it is a shame indeed. well at least those people will have shiny, nicely printed versions of the codex :]


i am also looking forward to seeing it, i only glanced at it for a moment when i got the chance.

thanks for the post!

thats why people will still buy the White Dwarf version... it may just be cheaper than printing out the PDF version.... since ink is so expesnive.

I was personally disappointed. Despite the fact that I have the two WDs and thus they're already printed, I think it iunderhanded and stupid. The Blood Angels are not even getting their own Codex book. At least not for a while. Jervis Johnson explained that this is because it would take longer, but I think that's no excuse. They shouldn't even be working on DA and BA. Or Chaos (which doesn't need a huge rules change for one, and two they're killing them...). They should do Orks, or Dark Eldar. If they absolutely have do so an SM chapter, it should be Space Wolves. I just hope SW don't get the BA and DA treatment... they'd better not have to do the combat squads.

Sorry for the rant.

From what I've heard, they won't. They will be much like chaos in their organization (5-higer than 10, etc..). Also, SW are supposed to be out next year from everythign i've heard flying about, or the year after. Teh reason why they did BA is because they really (i;'ve played a small force proxied by my E.C. in firendly combat patrols) did need, just like Chaos, a streamline. The eratta to the flaming codex was a mile long and as convoluted as the in depth explanation of the theory of relativity (note to kids in High School/Euro equivalent: this is a great way to drag a psychics teacher into a tangent)!. As an avid Chaos player, I can say we needed a new codex as bad as orks, not because our rules were more out of dates, but because ours and the SM were just slapped together to appease the masses, and now the backlash from Heck itself has hit!

On topic though, this rules. I don't have a WD subscription, but will eventually. Nice to know.

dark eldar also dont really need that much of a rule change, just a streamline. more so then BA or chaos, but still. they are still a viable army, but releasing a codex and lots of publicity for them would make more people play em

i don't know how much DE needs a change: i've glanced through the codex once or twice, but only for a moment. however, it is definitely true that they need a new codex with better pictures than the current one: DE codex looks like crap, i'm sorry..haha.

i think orks definitely should be updated first though, around where i've been it seems that orks are still a relatively common army, while DE is extremely rare.

just a thought..

The Chaos codex is an absolute train wreck and definatly needs some re-wording if anything! haha But I do agree that DE and da Boyz do need new codexes soon.
