From BoLS just now...
Gather children of the Dark Lords for today we have been blessed with Chaos rumors. Rejoice for our time shall come again soon?
via The HairySorcerer20 on Bolter and Chainsword 8-21-2015
So the manager at my local GW got back from Nottingham a while ago. And couldn’t help but tell me theres talk of a new chaos codex coming this year at the HQ. I’ve known this guy for years. I’ve never been brought into the back of the shop and had him tell me. Then he mentioned horus heresy stuff in October apparently. I’ve scanned through the internet and found nothing on either. Although he seems like he really wants me to.expect something. I’ll ask him for more info tomorrow. Not too excited. But he isnt a liar. And heck, he’s coming to me about this as I’m essentially tge biggest chaos fanboy at tge shop.
I’ll edit this post if some new info comes up. He said something about tau later in the year but I was too busy squabbling mindlessly about what could be changed. OH and apparently we are going to.be seeing a new deamon engine.. Joy.
…He told me to keep £35 handy around the end of this month to the start of September.
So to summarize today’s latest:
– CSM Codex coming before the end of the year.
– New CS Daemon Engine End of September (@ £35)
– Corroboration of Tau this year
– Corroboration of Plastic Horus Heresy October
Too soon, or not soon enough? Will we see the heavens align and give us THREE Power Armor releases in one year?

Three power armor releases in one year isn't rare I thought?
Although I still doubt spikey armour will be top tier

Yeah because heldrakes totally count as CSMs being top tier. Heldrakes and cultists </sarcasm>
Still, Khorne Daemonkin is...nifty, it's not bad, there are a lot of negatives, things are still pretty over costed, but being able to summon free bloodthirsters (quick run out and buy two $$$) is cool.
I'm curious to see Tzeentch Daemonkin, maybe CSM codex will come out first and fix the cult marines (running khorne berzerkers counts as CSM with mark of khorne is what I've done previously because it's just better imo) but I'm not holding my breath. I'm having tons of fun in AoS so 40k would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get me to take it seriously.

Chaos can bring strong lists with good options... the problem is half the options are pretty craptastic in terms of point effeciency (tsons, terminators, chaos land raiders etc.)
A new book would likely bring some point adjustments and bring everything more in line with non-spikey marines. If you doubt that look at dark angels. Blood Angels will likely get an "adjustment" codex as well to bring in line with regular marines, I'm thinking more along the lines of the grey knight release - book & maybe a single model but nothing to spectacular.
I'm predicting it will be Tau, CSM, Tyranids, Blood Angels, Daemons, Dark Eldar, Sisters - all before end of 2016. That is assuming come November they're going to alternate releases between AOS and 40K as the two principal systems, and stick to one major release (spread out on a weekly schedule) per month.

I doubt Sisters will be this year.
Dark Angels doesn't give me much hope for the CSM codex though

I didn't say this year... sisters definitely WON'T be this year... I said by the end of 2016.
Nothing wrong with the new Dark Angels. Lots of good stuff in there and they're in line with the space marine codex, something they haven't been in for a LONG time.

fresh up! take with salt as always until confirmed via B&C’s TheHairySorcerer20 9-2-2015 we are getting a chaos marine dex soon.. Very soon indeed. AND we may or may not be getting a sorcerer conclave formation ? Nothing better than throwing out 3 powers a turn at +1 strength for every sorcerer in the formation.. *Cough* … It’s coming though. ITS FINALLY COMING!! and… via B&C’s SlaveToDarkness 9-2-2015 Aahhhhh after I have done a bit of digging with a few people I have found out a few things… Some I cant say until I hear back from someone else (I dont want to look like a complete muppet) but I can say one thing, we ARE getting a dex, but not sure if its gonna be before or after Tau at the moment. But its done, not heard anything about new minis though (but then again I didnt ask). The person I am waiting to hear back from I trust 100% and its not the local GW manager. Just be patient guys, and if the other things I am waiting on turn out to be legit then you get to be happy smug bastards … Don’t mind saying who my source is, I have a cousin who is an ex GW sculptor who still talks to people at the design studio, I’m not naming names though as I don’t wanna cause any grief for people involved, and I’m not gonna push for info on every race, I only asked about Chaos because that’s all I am interested in, couldn’t care less about anything else tongue.png If one of the things I am waiting to hear back on turns out to be true then I will be happy, though it’s something I have hinted at a few times now and again for a few months now, though it was something that GW were thinking of doing, if they are then I will spill the beans.

so the guy who's only interested in chaos didn't ask about any new minis?

To be fair if he's only interested in Chaos he probably owns a LOT of Chaos minis... Like, you can only have so many marines before you don't ever need more

Pffft. Slaanesh doesn't froth at the mouth. They froth at the loins.
Thus Sploosh is an apt response.
