Maybe the Grey Khights are destined to have their Codex upgraded in White Dwarf in the same manner as the Blood Angels. I don't see us being completely neglected.

No chance (I hope)

Blood Angels only had a WD codex update due to a tradition of GW of releasing Dark Angels and Blood Angels at the same time. Dark Angels have the background - hence they got a codex. Blood Angels don't really have a big enough background as of yet, plus there was nothing really wrong with their army, so they just had a WD update instead.

We are too important to just suffer a WD update to our codex.

Thank you Brother Snowfire,

I was unaware of the reason behind the WD update.
I tottally agree that we are too important.

by Snowfire on Wed Jun 11, 2008 7:45 am

All good.

I didn't actually realise that was the reason either until a higher up staff member explained it to me.

But there's a huge pdf thingy with Blood Angels background you can download, or was that written later?

by Snowfire on Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:59 pm

The current PDF thing is actually the pages from the 2 white dwarf magazines that featured the Blood Angels update.

Just a heads up for next month's White Dwarf (July)

YOU WILL WANT TO GET THIS ONE JUST FOR THE TEAR OUT, 5TH EDITION QUICK REFERANCE GUIDE IN THE CENTRE OF IT.

Awesome!
Thank you for the heads up Brother Snowfire Very Happy

It will be nice to actually have something solid to reference study

Sounds like a handy thing. Wonder if us Canadians will still be able to get it with our 'edited down' versions of White Dwarf?

by Constantine on Fri Jun 20, 2008 6:44 pm

I didn't realize our edition was edited down Brother NemesisForce Shocked

What the heck Mad

How edited is it? alot?
I hope we get the pullout.

I know my WD 'Ruin of Arnor' Canadian edition didn't have both a terrain-making and Space Wolf army article that the U.S. edition did. I think as well the U.S. editions run at about 140+ pages where the Canadian ones are usually maxed at 116. I haven't checked lately so I'm not sure if things have changed since then.

edit: Looks like the latest U.S. issue is running at just over 114 pages as well. Maybe things have changed and I've wrongfully riled you up for nothing Constantine. My apologies.

I heard in Warhammer World at the weekend that more control of WD is coming back to Head office.

Apparently they want more hobby content and less of the catalogue. Some of the non uk editions are even worse than that!

This is confirmed - Rick Priestly himself has said this.

by NemesisForce on Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:19 am

Good news if that holds true. White Dwarf has really lost its way the last few years.

by Snowfire on Tue Jun 24, 2008 10:09 am

Ok

Here is solid confirmation of this year until November, after which there is no news yet

5th edition - July
Dark Elves - August
5th edition box set - September
Space Marines - October
Hordes of Chaos - November

Space wolves will not be done any time soon eg before the first half of next year. Guard codex is underway, as are Dark Eldar.
