The Dark Age of 40k: Only One Codex Release for 2012


Yes it would sadden all of us very much if there were only one release for Warhammer 40k this year. So far this year, it seems we have gotten everything "but" a codex. Having only one would be a very dis-service to the hobby in general, but if this turns out true, what options do you have...

One thing to note though is that this is yet another source saying a couple things that correlate with other rumors. That is, flyers are coming, and Chaos Space Marines are on their way.

Please remember that these are rumors, and as such need to be taken with salt.

With the so call “Hobbit” rumor lock down, reliable rumors have been hard to come by. Well finally, I am about to bring you a ray of light in the otherwise dark age of rumors, but before we get to any rumors let me start off by saying that I was wrong.

I was partially wrong about a certain rumor I been repeating for the last year or so.

The main reason for the error is that I assumed Games Workshop would never have only one 40k codex for an entire calender year. Sadly, GW has a habit of disappointing…

So I want start by adding my voice to the venerable rumor monger Stickmonkey when he recently made mention, that Dark Angels weren’t coming till at least early next year.

40k players will only get one codex this year and that is Chaos Space Marines– along with 6th edition of course.

So the time-table has changed and looks like this:
June-July 6th Edition
Sept-Oct Chaos Space Marines
Sprinkle in some flyers, buildings, and that is all you will see from the 40k front for the year.

Now what about 6th edition and Chaos Space Marine rumors you might ask?
Well I got them and it is time for the other rumor mongers to join in.
I am pretty sure a few people have been siting on rumors for quite some time.
Like the pieces to a puzzle, if only everyone shows there pieces, then we will create a clear 6th edition picture.

WARNING to everyone expect the unexpected when it comes to GW, because 6th edition is not going to be the 5th edition quick fix many people were hoping for.
