Do not despair, as 2022 will be a bumper year for warp-based shenanigans. Games Workshop Codex RoadmapĪlso of note, the recent WHC Codex Roadmap post mentioned this about Chaos:Įagle-eyed heretics** may note the lack of codexes for the Traitor Legions. The two Codex books seem all too likely eventually, but Primarchs and timelines are completely up in the air due to GW just starting to get back into the swing of things. The only sourced rumors are for an EC and WE codex release eventually, with Valrak only speculating a “late 9th release” and no source. Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Undivided, each with their own Daemon Primarch to field in 40k! This is however pure speculation so take it with a healthy serving of salt. If these are true, there would end up being 5 CSM codex books. A potential Lorgar Undivided release could go with a base CSM codex.GW wants to release codexes with a big exciting model to drive sales (just like Be’lakor with his Disciples in Charadon Book 2).GW wants to get specialized legions released first.
Thousand Sons and Death Guard both released with their Daemon Primarchs, could EC and WE do the same? And while this last point is certainly a stretch, wanting to release new books with large models might help explain the CSM Codex update delay. The Plastic cross-play Daemon Primarchs rumors also make both codex releases seem very likely.
