Rumoured Release Schedule



Q2-Q3 First 6E codex, released just before 6E launch or first codex after launch


General Codex Information

Other: Will be Hardcover

Legions said to be split into 3 books

-Rumours on the split are mixed at the moment. One says the split I have below, the other that there will be a Legions, Renegades and Daemons book which I find allot more plausible. Keeping the current setup just in case and because it involves all the Legion info anyway

Can only have 1 Havoc squad, can take more by "trading in" something else

Having a Khorne Daemon Prince means no Scouts
