whats the news?

[Death Strike]

I heard from some people at the school's club that Gamesworkshop wasnt going to change the DE codex at all. can someone please tell me thats not true?

Please remember, your friend probably knows less about GW future plans for Dark Eldar than he knows the ultimate question to life the universe and everything. As far as I have been made aware GW have every intention of making a new Dark Eldar Codex. Now this codex may take some time, I think end of this year at the very earliest, we will get a new Codex GW has said this over and over again; Dark Eldar are not being dropped.

I think it's going to take a while longer then to the end of the year

They still have to make a couple of SM codex's for the chapters, the Tyranid one has to have its finishing touches, and then I would say it is at least a year and a hlaf

[Archon No'ki]

Which is why I said "At the very earliest", but yes it is more likely to be the other end of next year before we get a new 'dex.

[Archon Faraith]

Well then, lets see.

Most likely every other codex will come out before the De one so thats, Eldar, Nids, Orks, Black templars, Wolves, Blood angels, Dark Angels, Ordos Xeno's. the other armies are either new or had a new dex so they wont get a new one. We got a long wait.

However, it is highly possible that you will get a new cover, art work and some more fluff and little else. Remember DE already have had an update.

[Archon Faraith]

Models and fluff is the biggest issue for me. I dont want the army becoming easy to play, i dont want us to be a popular army other stupid marine players will be playing dark eldar. That update was just tweaks to make existing dark eldar armies have more variation.

[The Farseer (now evil)]

if a new 'codex' is what you are after (so new art & fluff) i dont see them not doing it, but new rules/unites- i wouldnt hold your breath.

As a craftworlder i also wish for a new codex, ours is full of crappy old models.

[Radio]

The Ordo Xenos will come out after the De apparently...

so that's a new army to oppose my armies

I'm starting to like the Inquisition more... they are so... foolish


Anyways, DE should have a lot more fluff, as there is little at the moment, and some upgrades for their short ranged guns

[LesserEvil]

Well its not really easy to tell when what is coming out unless told by GW that it is coming out, however the most recent rumors are that Tau are getting a partial update then GW will most likely start working full force on Eldar (or Ork) followed by Xenos, followed by (Ork) or a mini-dex (of SM) then its anyone’s guess.

[Maldroui]

The information that I got at Games Day was that there would be a new Dark Eldar codex, but it would probably be two years in the offing. As far as Craftworld Eldar, they said probably sometime next year.

[archon ko'zrohc]

i hope they will spend a lot of time on the new de models, and do hope for one new unit, but not much else apart from lots of fluff

[Hellbrass Odesseron]

OK. Lets just clear up this whole topic.

Facts

The DE are going to be in this addition or 40K
We will get a new codex, models and artwork just like everyone else
We wont get anything soon

Rumors

All Eldar Army lists/codex's will be combined into one killer codex for all Eldar kind

[Death Strike]

good to have that cleared up. thanks hellbrass

[Hellbrass Odesseron]
