LES RUMEURS DES CODEX POUR WARHAMMER 40K ! LE PRIX PRESQUE CONFIRME DES WARHAMMER PRO ?! trop cher..
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary of the video (rumors + pricing commentary)
The speaker covers two main topics:
- Rumors about upcoming Warhammer 40,000 codex releases in 2027
- A separate discussion analyzing Warhammer-style paint pricing (specifically Warmer Pro paints), arguing they may be overpriced compared to alternatives.
1) 2027 Codex release schedule (rumors)
Overall timing
- The speaker suggests that in 2026, there will likely be only customization support left after the current codex shown in the prior week’s reveal.
- This implies the main codex releases shift to 2027, landing before Christmas.
- After the main 2027 codex drop, the year would continue with Christmas Battle Forces and Sigmar-related releases/campaigns, which the speaker believes will “pull” time away from 40K and limit how many 40K codexes can fit.
Expected faction codexes discussed
T’au Empire (rumored) — 2027
- Rumors suggest:
- A new Broadside
- Possibly a redesign that affects the Crisis suit lineup
- Uncertainty remains about whether the update:
- Adds more armor/exos beyond Broadside/Crisis changes
- Includes Commander Farsight, and how he would scale visually next to existing models
Drukhari (Dark Eldar) (strongly expected) — “absolutely certain”
- The speaker says the Drukhari codex is almost guaranteed and expects a major overhaul:
- Likely includes changes/redesigns to raiding ships or new ships (unclear which)
- Expected overhaul to infantry factions like Wyches/Kabalite units
- The speaker claims planes are not being touched
- Additional rumor:
- Content tied to Vect and the Arcane Court (miniatures / themed material)
- Buyer-warning framing:
- The speaker uses this as a reason not to buy older codexes now, arguing people may end up paying roughly 50–51€ for content that becomes obsolete quickly.
Tyranids (rumored but puzzling)
- The speaker suggests Tyranids are expected “soon,” but finds the timing confusing:
- Tyranids already have a codex about 3 years old, while codex cycles are typically tighter
- They expected a double-codex release pattern around the base factions, but this time they see only one codex instead of paired releases
- Speculated cause:
- The delay may be due to production/processing issues
- Tyranids supposedly have fewer obvious “ready-to-refresh” unit targets beyond select sets (e.g., Gargoyles)
Space Marines sub-faction codex: Raven Guard (rumored) — doubted
- The speaker strongly doubts a Raven Guard codex in 2027.
- Reasoning:
- In the recently released 11th edition Space Marines codex, they note Raven Guard characters (Ethon Chan and “Kavan Strike,” as transcribed) already appear with datasheets.
- The speaker argues it would be pointless to include datasheets if a Raven Guard codex would replace them soon.
- What would need to happen for Raven Guard to occur:
- Ideally Corvus Corax returning and/or additional units
- Conclusion:
- Without that kind of added material, Raven Guard feels unlikely.
Chaos / “Imposing” (transcription unclear) — another codex (rumored)
- The last rumored codex is described as likely Chaos-themed.
- However, the speaker dislikes the timing:
- They say it would be only about a year and a half old, so the new release feels rushed
- Hypothesis:
- Games may have delayed parts (units) and released the codex earlier without them, then finished the missing content later.
2) Broad argument: don’t buy codexes now
Across multiple sections (especially Drukhari, Tyranids, and the possible Raven Guard scenario), the speaker repeatedly frames the video as a buyer warning:
- If codexes are imminent, buying current codex books could mean paying about ~50€ for content that will be replaced soon.
3) Additional segment: paint pricing (“Warhammer Pro” paint pot analysis)
The speaker evaluates Warhammer Pro paint pot pricing, arguing it’s too expensive relative to volume and alternatives.
Key claims
- The Warhammer-branded pot is around 12 ml, and is rumored/confirmed to cost about €5–€5.50.
- They compare it to other brands framed as better value per ml:
- AK Interactive
- Army Painter
- The speaker estimates that for the same money, you can buy significantly more paint from competitors.
- Conclusion:
- The major downside is price/value, even if the paint quality is decent to excellent.
- They also plan to test performance because drying/coverage can vary, but they already expect the cost isn’t justified.
