GW just posted that EC are not coming in the new Codex:CSM, but rather a free index. All but essentially confirming Emperor's Children will be getting a codex this edition!
I wouldn't expect it until the end of the edition, like World Eaters. I can only hope that there's a plastic version of Fulgrim coming with it!

This wasnt an announcement I expected to see today... Im pretty excited for it, I've been wanting to build an Emperor's Children force for a while now, and having an index of their own makes it a lot more enticing.
I cant wait to see what a plastic fulgrim will look like (although the heresy one is gonna be tough to beat). Also wanna see new noise marines and maybe a Terminator unit similar to the Phoenix guard?

I've been pretty hyped to get an EC codex but this just feels quarter assed- maybe half assed if I'm generous.
Why is Lucius the only character? Why is Fabius bile still CSM.
Fixed key words, noise marines + slaneesh marked anything else does not feel like an index. Unless there are some new models support dropped with it this just feel like a weird way to try to buy time to distance the rage people will have for the FW resin Fulgrim drop that was poorly done with no 40k rules and a 400$ price tag, that hopefully gets replaced with a plastic 40k kit.
When a real codex drops I'm still interested in jumping to chaos for the EC but this isn't going to get me to do it.

I would not expect any new model support with this until the codex itself drops, which is likely at least a year away.
This is entirely just to offset their removal from the codex itself. Just like world eaters were removed well ahead of their codex in 9th.
I've been sitting on my EC since they started pulling the gods out of the CSM book sine the remaining gods have had basically no support since then. I look forward to the day when I get to bring them put again, but an index like this is definitely not how I will bring them back. I'll wait till the codex is out for sure.

I've been hoping for EC since I got into Warhammer. Fulgrim and Sanguinius are my two favourite primarchs... and well... I dont expect I'll get a model of the angel anytime soon  So the Fulgrim hype is real. |

(too soon?) In all seriousness though, it's about damn time that EC got their own codex, even if it does arrive late in the edition, it's WAY too long overdue, and would be awesome to see a 40k plastic Fulgrim. I just hope they don't do him dirty like they did Magnus. |
