W40K Supplementes - Der Gerüchtetopf

Neues Zeug:

via an anonymous source on Faeit 212
GW is planning a "re-release" of the 3rd edition Codex Armageddon! That will be a huge release for 40K "more than half a year away" according to my friend. It will include 5 supplements: Warzone Armageddon (scenarios), Supplement: Salamanders, Supplement: Steel Legion, Supplement: Ghazghull's Horde and Supplement: Orc Kult of Speed. Everything will be released in one wave.

Each supplement will be accompanied by a very limited number of new releases:
Salamanders - Special Terminator Squad combining Thunder Hammer and Storm Bolters (no shields). Has access to a special weapon that's a "pimped out mix of Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta"
Steel Legion - Griffon/Salamander combi kit, new Finecast characters
Ghazghull's Horde - Nobs in Mega Armour (Plastic), Orkimedes (Finecast)
Speed Freaks - War Buggy, Wazdakka Gutsmek (Plastic)


Da kann man ja fast auf einen zweiten Sturm des Chaos hoffen 😀

There's merit to your rumor. However to poke some holes:

The Salamanders squad is for the pre-heresy book coming christmas. They're modified tartaros pattern terminators. Kind of like ornate "artificer" versions.

Imperial Guards will have access to all their tanks in plastic with the release of their new codex.

Nobz in Mega Armor and new War Buggies and Traks are getting new models with their new codex also.

Supplements will not be providing new model kits until after all of the 6th edition codexes are up to date. Furthermore, if a new unit is introduced, it will be available to the core codex as well.

Example 1) An update of an old kit that is the center of the supplement:a new khorne berserker kit alongside a World Eater's supplement. This kit, while a targeted release, is still available to any Chaos Player.
Example 2) If it introduces an entirely new unit that has previously never had rules, it would specifically say that it's an XYZ option for the parent dex: A new breed of tyranid, with some cool rules in a Hive Fleet supplement. While it may be a troops choice for the supplement army, it is also a Fast Attack (or something) choice for the parent codex.

The Supplements will often introduce new ways to configure units. Either with different wargear, size of squad, force organization position, dedicated transport options, or cool army rules

Example: Supplement: "Hammer of Dorn," not simply Supplement: "Imperial Fists," this supplement could hark back towards the 4th edition Space Marine Codex. Fluff wise this book would talk about Lysander's specific fleet and methodology. Rules wise it would make Assault Terminators Elites, and Shooting Termiantors Heavy Support, while making you roll once for all terminators to enter from deep strike, and would do so with a reduced scatter. This would create a very specialized force, one that would be illegal normally (up to 6 terminator squads), alongside some unique rules (deep strike at once, reduced scatter), and would probably inspire some new armies to be made centered around it, but it's still not giving Imperial Fist only models that make people feel pigeon holed into a specific codex or colour scheme, etc.

The idea here is that people shouldn't feel like they have to get a supplement. Anything that's in a supplement, they have access to (model wise). No one is left out.

I hope that makes sense, it was a bit of a rant.

P.S. while new khorne berserkers are on the menu to be reviewed, there's no new tyranid supplement unit, or a supplement for "Hammer of Dorn," those were just to illustrate my point.

Was ich viel interessanter als das BL-Update finde ist folgendes:
http://www.40kings.de/2013/08/black-legion-regeln-warlord-traits-und-neue-artefakte/
Chaos will be receiving some serious treatment very soon in the form of 4 new supplements, I do not have a release date (I couldn’t even get an approximate)
but what I could get was the following information about what the supplements will do…

- There will be 4 supplements released within short succession, possibly even all at once
- They will be called “The Book of Khorne”, “The Book of Nurgle”, “The Book of Tzeentch” and “The Book of Slanesh”
- They will work for both chaos space marines AND chaos Daemons in a very unique way
- each will have its own unique warlord traits and some new wargear options

I asked how they work for both codex and the example I was given was something along these lines..
Each book is designed to represent a combined force of daemon and marine all working in the will of their chosen patron, this will be done by allowing players to
take units from BOTH Codex: Chaos Space Marines AND Codex: Chaos Daemons without the need to ally so long as they all follow the same god. For example in
the book of khorne you can take any unit from either codex as long as it doesnt have Daemon of nurgle, slaanesh or tzeentch or mark of nurgle, slaanesh or Tzeentch.

Drücken wir mal die Daumen, dass das nicht nur wishlisting ist🙂
 
Sehr witzig - erst ist alles in einem Codex, dann wird es aufgesplittet in 2 separate Bücher und Streitmächte. Jetzt sollen wieder Supplements kommen, welche kombinierte Streitmächte ermöglichen...

In 3 Jahren heißt es dann: "War zu unübersichtlich, nicht zumutbar, verwirrend...wir hauen wieder alles in einen Codex!" 😀


Wär aber nice, wenn sie das so hinkriegen. Damit dürften alle Kultspieler zufrieden sein.
 
Naja für GW wäre es Sinvoll.
So brauchste um Nurgle spielen zu können 3 Codex ( also 3x soviel kohle für gw )
CHaos Space Mariens, Chaos Dämonen und Chaos Nurgel Sup

Nurgle kann man hervoragend mit dem C:CSM spielen und C:CD als Alliierte oder umgekehrt. Ein Hintergrundbuch brauch ich dafür eigentlich nicht, niemand braucht das!
