Unless GW is pulling a fast one, these clearly belong to a new 40k Chaos model. This claw is actually super easy to predict. While this isn’t the biggest thing ever, this along with the previous rumors really seem to point to a new book sooner than later! There are more hints however, just check out these Rumor Engines! New GW Rumor Engine: It’s 40k Chaos Finally So again, why put it into the app if a book isn’t coming soon. It could very well be that they just gave the programmer the new stats and they just put it in without knowing when it should go live, or even toggled the wrong one “live” and didn’t remove the “old” nomenclature from the title. So the real question is, why publish and program it if a book isn’t coming soon? These rumors come from Faeit, and they basically point to two different versions of the Heldrake in the app. GW has recently put Heldrake updates in the 4ok app, which may mean a number of things including a new codex book soon!
RUMORS: App Update Points to New Chaos Codex Soon Or, they could easily have gotten the idea messed up, maybe it’s CSM, then World Eaters, then Emperor’s children. This also makes sense with the new rumors we’ve heard, meaning Emperor’s Children would come after World Eaters and Chaos Space Marines proper later on in the 9th Edition release cycle. Unlike undivided legions like Word Bearers or Black legion, the God-devoted ones have much more unique models and lore, making them better candidates for dedicated books, and new models. Apparently, a source told him that World Eaters are coming in 9th, and supposedly before Emperor’s Children.Īs by far one of the most popular legions, it makes perfect sense that World Eaters get their own codex.
Plus it’s easier to release more models this way, with a big-sized mini (such as a Daemon Primarch or new vehicle kit) to build hype and new limited edition Army boxes.Ĭhapter Master Valrak, even posted a video talking about some rumblings he has heard about a new World Eaters update coming sometime during 9th edition. Meaning they can keep the releases flowing to the same customer base.
We assume why Games Workshop would release World Eaters before the whole CSM book is probably because people who play any of the devoted legions will also buy the CSM codex as well as any potential new models too. World Eaters are one of the four main single-god devoted legions Thousand Sons for Tzeentch, Death Guard for Nurgle, Emperor’s Children for Slaanesh, and World Eaters for Khorne.
