New (old) online Codices for download, German versions

[KingOfFools]

For those who are interested,

German GW has published online versions of the
daemon hunters and witch hunters codices in pdf files.

As far as I could see they were shortened versions of the print versions (like 1/3 of the pages).

I am not sure if those are/will be available in English,
until now I didn't find anything on the UK/US sites.

I had a quick look at the site but my lack of German meant I couldn't find them. Any chance of a link? I'd love to have a flick through just to see what they've put up.

A quick word of advice to anyone who wants them: get in quick! Games Workshop France put up some drop pod templates, only to take them down presumably because it could hurt sales of the Forge World pods. I wouldn't be surprised if the codexes aren't up for long.

Ok, i decide to buy the Demonhunter codex after some consideration and Games Workshop puts them on their website for free. :err: At least i have the bonus of the Fluff, which is missing in the Pdfs.

Ah well, at least i get the Witch Hunter Codex too.
I wonder though why they would do that. Are they going to stop printing them? New Codex on the way? The latter is probably just wishfull thinking.

[KingOfFools]

It says, that those codices are very hard to come by, which probably means, that the German versions are out of print for some time now, that's why they made them available for download.

What is "Geweihte Waffe" ? I did several translations of it but all I got was "consecrated weapon" Any one know?

It must be the Blessed Weapon from the english version. Your translation is correct.

Another old codex is available for download. This time it's the Space Wolves.
Again it is only the German version it seems.
