Thanks to the seminar at the Blood and Glory event a few days ago we now know that the next two 40k Codex releases will the Dark Angels and the Blood Angels.
These two armies are a little under powered now compared to the Ultramarines and other ‘general’ marine armies, so it makes sense for these two popular forces to have books to bring them up to date.
With all upcoming releases, the rumour mill starts turning!
So, rumours have it, as originally posted by the ‘Inner Circle’ Facebook group that the Dark Angels codex is going to be up for preorder on the 2nd December, with it being released a week later on the 9th.

We’ve all known for a while that it would be likely be a loyalist Primarch that would be up next, now that Gulliman is outnumbered with Magnus and Mortarion causing chaos. And a lot of people have suggested for a while that the Lion could be up next.
So what do we think? Are these rumours rubbish, or do you think these could all be true? Is the Lion hitting stores before Christmas? Let us know your thoughts by commenting on this post or alternately via one of our social media channels.
We shall also be discussing the new upcoming codexes on our next podcast. Missed the first one? Check it out here.
Our thanks to ‘Inner Circle’ and Natfka for this information.
