No one expected this, Games Workshop drops a bombshell teaser of two new supplements, Chaos Traitor Legions, and Inquisition! Don’t miss these details!

We saw pictures of what looked to be another new supplement in addition to the Wrath of Magnus late Friday night, and then Games Workshops confirmed the wild speculation with another jaw dropper; Codex Imperial Agents!

The ladder looks to feature Inquisition as that is the image that adorns the cover, however what that or Traitor Legions will actually contain are still shrouded in the fog of rumor.

December also sees more books on the way that all Chaos Space Marine and Imperial commanders should immediately be adding to their Gift Lists. We’ll have more details on all of these for you soon, but for the moment, here’s a tantalising glimpse into the covers of the future:

There is speculation that the reason GW would drop TWO supplements in the same week (or even this close to each other) would be because they are fundamentally changing how the base army works.

So are we looking at a Curse of the Wulfen (Wrath of Magnus) supplement to introduce the T-Sons and another supplement like the Angels of Death (but traitor legion style) to update Chaos to a new standard?

And what of the Agents book, should we expect to see Inquisition along with perhaps Grey Knights, Assassins, or GASP even Sisters of Battle?? Or will it just be an actual analog printing of Codex Inquisition which is only available in digital currently (and has the same cover as “Agents”?

The Magic 8 ball of previous trending releases can not help us today folks as Games Workshop looks to be switching their style up for their holiday release schedule.

What we know right now:

  • Five new kits are on the way for Chaos and the new Wrath of Magnus Supplement.
  • Judging by the Magnus teaser on Friday and the lack of pre-orders on GW’s site, these models will go on sale November 25th.
  • The Thousand Sons have access to some sort of Rotor weapon for both their Terminators and Power Armored marines
  • New hobby supplies ensure everyone can get armies up and running in no time!
  • There is a second supplement on the way titled “Traitor Legions”.
  • GW Has confirmed the new Thousand Sons will go on pre-order Nov 25th.

It appears at long last Chaos, is indeed back! More as we know it folks.

We had received images of what looked to be a new codex supplement Friday night, but were reluctant to publish them, however now they are making their way across the web.

It appears to be from the new White Dwarf, however there is no way to confirm that this is an actual product shot at this time. If this IS actually happening it would mean that Games Workshop would be dropping TWO supplements in the same week (or so)!

However I am sure Chaos fans would not mind this sort of attention at all!

Now the only reason I can imagine that GW would drop TWO supplements in the same week (or even this close to each other) would be because they are fundamentally changing how the base army works. Which again I am sure most Chaos players would not mind as well.

So are we looking at a curse of the Wulfen supplement to introduce the T-Sons and another supplement like the Angels of Death (but traitor legion style) to update Chaos to a new standard?
