GW Reveals The Next 4 9th Edition 40k Codex Books!
The Four Codexes
In fact, we can confirm that there are four more books planned for this year alone! Among them are three codex supplements designed to ensure that those Chapters who are the most divergent from the Codex Astartes aren’t left behind, along with an update to the oldest of the Heretic Astartes codexes.
Death Guard Support Hinted
The Lord of Virulence was confirmed and he actually was some of the rumor engine bits! While we don’t know much about him, during the stream they hinted that he would support your Death Guard Daemon Engines. Get your Blighthaulers and Plague Drones ready!
If you watched the video you may have also noticed this terrain piece! While we don’t know anything about it, and GW mentioned a new Heretic teaser was hidden in the video, is this it?. Is a new Death Guard terrain piece is on the way?
Chapter Tactics & Profile Changes
While they didn’t say much on the stream about how the new statlines and weapon profile changes will be addressed when the Space Marine codex drops, chances are these four books will bring these factions in line with those changes as well.
Dark Angels fans won’t have to wait much longer – your codex supplement will be on its way early next year, along with the first xenos codex of 2021.
