admech wal paper

Games Workshop just gave us our first look at the new codex books for both the Death Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus, and some new units.

It looks like the Death Guard is up next for a new codex with the Adeptus Mechanicus shortly behind. Let’s see what Games Workshop had to say about the upcoming codecies.

The Death Guard are almost here, and with them, yet another new codex for Warhammer 40,000.

We know you’ve been asking to see more of the Death Guard ever since we teased them back in March, and today, your patience is rewarded:

This is one of the most exciting armies of the new edition, and you can expect to see loads of new and revamped units (you may be able to pick out a few of them from the picture, if you’re not too distracted by just how awesome Mortarion looks leading his Legion).

That’s not all – we’re also very excited to announce today that Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus is next in line for release!

The Adeptus Mechanicus are being re-armed for the new edition with their best codex ever. This book will contain rules for fielding the Cult Mechanicus, the Skitarii and the Knights of the Questor Mechanicus, alongside – for the first time – powerful faction rules for seven forge worlds.

Codex: Death Guard will be out in September, with Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus not far behind. We’ll be previewing both books, in detail, in advance of their release, so make sure to keep coming back to Warhammer Community to make sure you don’t miss any of it.

Oh my are those new terminators being led by the bearer of the destroyer hive himself: Typhus? Perhaps two new terminator squads.. one of them never more than 49 paces from their master, the Deathshroud?

There is also what appears to be a very dynamic Typhus.

It looks like we’ll be seeing a new codex for the Death Guard in September with the Adeptus Mechanicus codex coming out shortly afterwards, which most likely means new models as well. September is lining up to  be another busy month for Warhammer fans. Games Workshop said they will be previewing both books in detail leading up to their release, so make sure you’re checking back in with us for the latest updates.
