There is a completely NEW codex coming out next month.   Codex Inquisition.

whaaaaaaaaaat?

If thats true they managed to keep a lid on that one, and since theres been no new model leaks i assume they're using grey knight and sisters models?

Releasing the digital copies before the print copies is a really, really, REALLY bad thing for me / the game / the longevity of the hobby.

Thanks, GW...

agreed, i like my books without batteries. i REALLY hope this doesn't become the norm with codex releases...

I sorta doubt it will be very substantial...probably more like a supplement, just a way to ally inquisitors into sisters,etc.

This made me lol.

So it plays out like this-

The forgeworld chapter tactics came out, and the Red Hunters one says something to the effect of "if your army contains in Inquisitor, Grey Knights and Adepta Sororita are Battle Brothers" .  And then the internet was like "Wait, what?", and Forgeworld responded with "U MAD BRO", and then this came out. 

This does not replace GK nor the SoB books, those are still valid.  This simply lets you include an Inquisitor in your Imperial force, so;

A) Rules for Deathwatch
B) Comedy Anti-Demon/Xenos/Whatever

What I see this really being is (based on the chapter tactics released this month) is something along the lines of taking an Inquisitor as part of your HQ (perhaps as a non-FOC slot unit), which then would allow you to ally with GK/SoB/Red Hunters.

Still pretty awesome, because I've been on the path to make a Deathwatch Army for years.

I had a feeling that it would be something like this because the last page of the newest White Dwarf is covered in Inquisition models.

[Sir_Prometheus]

It would be kinda nice if they expanded on the options from what a regular GK inquistior or retinue could get.  Just more characterful stuff.

[Grand Master Steve]

I for one like the option of inquisition one way or another with out having to ally with grey knights. I also would rather a physical book over a dled one.

*yawn* another imperial codex thingy...

wake me up when the boyz git sum luv.....

The best and only real logical reason I ever heard about why FW wasn't allowed in "normal" tournaments was accessibility. Now GW has removed that from the equation.


Go spend $600 and have the codex first!

So, is this exclusively digital or will it be released physically? What about the new sisters codex?

[andalucien]

I think that there was a promise that if the Sisters digital version sold well, it would eventually be released in paper... 

I don't know how the GW guys figure out their strategy here.  It seems like everyone who has already bought a sisters army probably will have already bought the digital codex.  After all, you've sunk $1000 or so into a set of models, and now you just have to pay $30 to be able to play with them again.  No brainer.

So then, who's going to buy a paper re-release of the same codex?   Without a model release, it's certainly not going to attract any NEW sisters players...  I don't get it.
