Followers of the Dark Gods rejoice for your hour may soon be at hand. New rumors aplenty today about a new Chaos release that may be right around the corner.
You heard it here first, Chaos was missing from Warhammer World on Sunday, and then we literally called this next rumor out of thin air. Now it looks like it may just come true according to multiple sources today.
Spikey Bits 7-17-2016:
If Chaos will rise again is everyone but Games Workshop’s guess at this point however, but it would be cool to see them make an appearance in the new format White Dwarf this September for sure.
First off an anonymous source sent us this email today:
“First monthly white dwarf has the new Khârn in it (leaning forward charging).
Also a campaign type book with new rules for Chaos Space Marines. It’s not a new Codex, but does have cool new rules.
Also included is the new Deathwatch Codex with Artemis Model and the new flyer for them. Looks like a mix between a tau and imperial flyer.”
Then another well know rumormonger chimed in as well
First issue of the monthly magazine covers the following releases:
- Chaos Space Marine Campaign book with new CSM rules.
- New Kharn the Betrayer.
- Codex Deathwatch.
- New Deathwatch Flyer Model
- New Deathwatch Brother Artemis Model.
The bottom two we’ve been hearing for months, but those top two have all the Chaos boys coming to the yard right now for sure.
What we know right now about Chaos:
Guess what’s missing from the displays cases at Warhammer World…
This was sent in to Spikey Bits from the Forge World Open July 17th:
Missing from the cases are the original traitor legions of Death Guard, Iron Warriors, Thousand Sons, Emperor’s Children, and the Black Legion.
Why this is important:
Traditionally the Games Workshop studio removes models for photo shoots for upcoming publications and events. In the past we’ve seen a whole army “go missing” for a day or two only to appear in a new supplements or White Dwarf spread for a new release months later.
Recently we saw the Sisters of Battle get some snaps of their own. At this time however it’s unclear a this time whether these Chaos models are on display elsewhere at the Forge World Open, or are indeed getting their 15 minutes of studio fame.
Notice there are some “Chaos” Rumored releases set for this year still as well:

Will it happen? Who knows at this point, but this is more talk about Chaos than we’ve had in a long time, so I want to believe.
