which codex is the most recent...

[Shyft]

this is idle curiosity, but im wondering what codex has been most recently revised. I think it's Space marine, but im not sure.

and that being said, does anybody know what's gonna be revised next? or the likely canidates?

[a_Necron_Lord01]

I can't remember which was most recently updated, SM or 'nids. I will check GW after this post though...


As for what's next, it is Eldar, reportedly followed by the various SM chapters.

[Tarot]

Tau is the most recent. Eldar comes out next.

[Shyft]

cool, cool! thanks for hte info.

does anybody know if the space marine revisions affect the Daemonhunter codex at all? i know it hasnt' been updated yet, but for all i know, it was made post update.

The current SM and Daemonhunter Codeci are completely compatible.

[Shyft]

i had no doubt they were compatible (i don't have either codex though.) but i was thinking about going DH, and i heard some SM rules and such that might've applied to anything 'space marine', but then again, the Grey Knights are kinda their own chapter, which is why they have a separate codex... anyway.

@kblaes

D'oh! I forgot about the Tau! :square:

[Grimjaw]

Tau's most recent (as already stated). Black Templars were the ones prior. Before that Nids. Space Marines. 4th Edition. Witchhunters. And I believe Guard, Daemonhunters, Chaos.

Oldest current codex is Orks... It's about 8 years going.

[MooFreaky]

Orks came out in 99, Dark Eldar came out in 98 (got a very tiny revision in 2001, adding in a handful of almost useless Vehicle upgrades...)

So DE is the oldest, I believe.

As for a complete list of whens...

DE : 1998
Orks : 1999
Chaos : 2002
Necrons : 2002
Daemon Hunters : 2003
Imperial Guard : 2003
Witch-Hunters:2003
Space Marines : 2004
Tyranids : 2005
Tau : 2006 (or was it late 2005?)
Eldar : Next to be released

(got a very tiny revision in 2001, adding in a handful of almost useless Vehicle upgrades...)

I had heard they also got some kind of new army type as well. Like an alternate way to build them.

[Legiemus Urov]

Tau was february 2006, if memory serves. Wasn't the first tau codex released in 2002 (or thereabouts) as well?

BTW, I'm absolutely itching to see what eldar will be like.

[SubAznDaemon]

You and me both, Urov. Some rumours from Warseer say that Orks will finally get a new Codex this time next year, with various SM chapters getting updated before. Sadly, DE still don't seem to have a new codex coming anytime soon.

Question asked, question answered... and then some.

Before this potentially degrades into a "what's the next Codex out, and how come it isn't my race" thread as it already seems to be leaning (Dark Eldar, anyone?), do a Search on that sort of thing as it's already been covered many times, and 'cause this thread's locked!
