Back in September, Games Workshop’s Codex Show disclosed the next four codex releases. Today, Warhammer Community gave us a Codex Roadmap to show when they will be arriving.
Confirmed Codex Roadmap Releases
While lacking exact dates, we know we’ll be seeing Space Wolves and Deathwatch dropping in November. Games Workshop has decided to use Codex Supplements, rather than a full Codex, for Space Marines going forward. You’ll need a copy of Codex: Space Marines to get full use out of them.
Following closely in December are Blood Angels and Death Guard. Like their brethren in November Blood Angels get the supplement treatment. However, Death Guard will be the third full-length Codex released for the current edition.
At this time, I have not received any news of model releases to accompany these books. I’ll be sure to pass on any previews once they’ve been confirmed.
January Codex Speculation
The New Year brings us two more books. While the titles have been redacted, you’d think the cover art had some clues. Enlarge, right-hand! Definitely something Imperial in the upper left and just, ewwww, skulls and plugs and red in the lower right. I’d almost say that was a genestealer skull plugged into something, but…
The art a looks familiar. Where have I seen it before? My Core Book you say? Yes, well played GW. Well played indeed. Both sets of “cover art” are close-ups of the full page art from the Core Book.
We do know from other teasers that Games Workshop has dropped that Dark Angels are scheduled for early 2021. I would expect GW to want to get the main Space Marine Chapters out of the way first.
A Xenos Codex was also promised for the January slot, but we haven’t been told which. Orks and Drukhari are high on the speculation list. Games Workshop teased a potential new Lelith Hesperax model and what was unmistakably an Ork.
Log your guesses for the redacted books in the comments. We’ll see which are true as the New Year approaches.
I hope we get another Codex Roadmap in early 2021. A fast pace for Codex releases means all armies get into their Ninth Edition groove faster. A slower pace would leave more armies behind and more dissatisfied players. Besides, I want my Guard now!
