The skies are starting to darken, and it’s not just because it’s winter. Tons of Chaos Rumors are dropping, and it seems like new Chaos models may even be a priority at Forge World as well.

First if you haven’t seen the new Chaos preview from Forge World for today go check it out now (we’ll wait).

So it seems like an awful lot of people all seem to know something about some upcoming Chaos Space Marines.

Here is the latest;

So far I only have heard about a CSM supplement in March. Maybe some more details will surface over the next weeks.
The theme is Khorne, as far as I’m told.
Adding to the confusion now…
One of my very reliable birdies told me to not expect a new CSM codex, but only a supplement. And while it is centered around Khorne (plus at least one new unit and new models in plastic), it is not about a Legion, but a renegade warband. This is a contradiction to the rumour in the OP by Steve the Warboss, and only one set of those rumours can be correct in the end.
So apply a bit more salt than usual.

In the last week of March, GW will release a Codex for Khorne Warbands/Hordes.
It combines Khorne-themed CSM and daemon units. Formations, etc..
It is a one-week release with no new miniatures released for this new codex as such (but Zerkers, in all their old miniatures-glory, are actually in the Codex, no WD spin-offs).
The main purpose of this khorne codex is to ride in the slipstream of End Times 5, which will be released earlier in march, with the “headline”-release of the new Bloodthirster (builds 3 variants).
There is no “main” Codex CSM in 2015. There are no nurgle, tzeentch, etc. equivalents to this khorne one planned (yet), as it’s mostly an End Times add-on to make the new Bloodthirster with all its variants work in 40K.

As far as I’m informed, this is 100% correct. New Bloodthirster, yeah!
