Our Codex is confirmed! - *** summary as of Sept. 29 in OP ***

According to Natfka pre orders are being released the 20th of this month and we can access it starting the 27th in a 2 week release period. This sounds great although i still have yet to confirm the prices and supplements we'll be getting hopefully soon tho.


Modded, Sept. 15 - Two simultaneous threads on the new codex was a bit confusing, so I have closed one in favour of this newer, shorter thread.

Please keep the discussion of the codex and models here, and remember that there is also a wishlisting thread in the DE Discussion section:

That's not confirmed. That's just a possibility.

Natfka got it from 40K Radio, who have an inside source. They've been 100% on all rumors they've put out, so I think it's time to get excited.

Until GW announces it, all of this is just fairy dust and space unicorn farts.  Which power our ships.

Also from the horse's mouth,

Quote :

Please remember that this is ultimately still a rumor.

40K Radio have a good track record but there have been so many conflicting rumours for so long now that I'll believe it when I see it.

Totally agreed with Count

Well the teaser at the back of the next WD petty much confirms it, so 40k radio didn't need an inside source for that ;-)

And I have been saying it for two words now ;-)

40k radio saying it alongside the many other rumors means it's more likely that it is coming out but there is still a chance they are wrong

the good thing is that the density of rumors increases and they are getting more concrete. That's different from those beeing alone out there in the dark. I am hopefull it will come soon

It better be necrons next. That'd be hilarious.

"DARK ELDahhhh...." -evil GW grin-

just thought i'd add in my thoughts with my vid (instead of writing everything that i said)

NOPE. You get SPACE HULK!

http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Home?_requestid=5634722

I'd just like to add into the mix that I was speaking to my local retailer today.

He has heard NOTHING about a Dark Eldar release yet.

He has had plenty about Spacehulk, and was told about Nagash and The End Times with plenty of advance warning. he even knew about Space Wolves and Grey Knights in decent time before release too.

But he has been told NOTHING about Dark Eldar.

DE Codexes are no longer on website at all.

+1 to my darras

This week's WD hints at DE with a 'wrack your brains' comment for next week. Add the 'souls' line to this and just maybe.

I am holding all the special characters tight.
If all else fails, I will tear apart their pages from the old codex and glue them on the new one.

RELAX! I'm sure we'll keep Decapitator

Heh really I am hoping to see Baron go. Another blow for the council. Kheradruakh - good riddance. Malys - No great loss, Duke... I would be really sorry to see him go only if we will get Tantalus with racks option. :-) Lelith is OK.

Malys and Duke need models. They're two of our three pimps in the fluff.

I have 15 Hellions...hope they can be troops. Or are troops from the start.

most probabbly they stay fast attack, thank 7th ed for every unit can capture objectives

I would much rather have models for bike archon, skyboard archon/succubus, lhamaeans as a possible unit upgrade (thus no need for Duke) and working Mandrakes.

Hellions need a boost or a price drop first... having them as troops is the last concern. :-D

Hmm... Hellions are my favorite model. Although if I ever use them they'd need a price drop or maybe a +1 to their WS and I.... and A

i think hellions are fine with drogs and +1S+1A hellglaives, just to expensive 16 ppm for ap - hits is ridiculous, banshees are 15 points with power swords... and other extras, only the swords cost 15 points on other modells.
