11th Edition Codex ROADMAP Rumours!
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary of the Video’s Main Points (Codex Roadmap Rumors)
Note: Everything discussed is rumor, not confirmed until Games Workshop (GW) announces it.
11th Edition Codexes So Far & GW’s Silence
- The speaker says GW has released three confirmed codexes:
- Adeptus Custodes
- Space Marines
- Chaos? (Arc?) / Orcs?
- They claim GW has refused to publish a codex roadmap, which led the channel to compile “Whispers of the Warp” rumor material.
- A repeated warning emphasizes that nothing is confirmed until GW’s official announcements.
Confirmed Rumor: Custodes
- The speaker claims a Custodes codex pre-order is happening this Saturday, featuring a large plastic bundle.
- Expected items mentioned:
- New Terminators
- Telemon (plastic)
- A limited-edition big book box
- Price speculation:
- The limited edition could be around €400.
- This is contrasted with a Space Marine limited edition allegedly priced at £250, which the speaker says didn’t sell out—and they praise Space Marine fans for not purchasing overpriced product.
Predicted Codex Release Order (Early Next Year)
Expected wave structure
- Current/first wave: Orcs, Space Marines, Custodes
- Next expected codex: Tau
- Timing: early January to mid-January
- Possible teasers in December
Rumored Tau additions
- New Crisis suits
- A new Broadside
- Possibly a new sculpt rather than major weapon rule changes
- The speaker suggests Tau design direction may lean toward a “Gundam-like” vibe
- Inspired by a “twin pack” aesthetic that feels more curvy
- Uncertainty remains about whether Tau will also receive new HQ models.
Codexes #5 and #6: Competing Rumor Sources
The next major Xenos options are disputed by two rumor sources:
Option A: Dark Eldar (speaker preference)
If Dark Eldar arrive as codex #5, the speaker expects:
- Vect on his barge (new model)
- Calabite refresh
- Possibly a re-imagined barge
- The speaker argues Dark Eldar—especially Harlequins—have been under-served and “need love.”
Option B: Tyranids
If Tyranids arrive as codex #5, rumored additions include:
- New Kroot units
- Noted as feeling “older” compared to the newer Tyranid range
- New Tyranid Warriors
- Gargoyles
- Flying units mentioned as a concept that’s been long hinted and may finally arrive
More 2027 Space Marine Sub-Codex Rumors
The speaker claims 2027 will definitely include codex-related releases for:
- Black Templars
- Blood Angels
They frame these as likely supplements connected to Space Marines, which the speaker believes GW prioritizes for revenue.
Blood Angels (limited/uncertain)
- A specific named unit is mentioned: “Corb[o]” / Sanguinary Priest (as far as they know)
- Criticism:
- Death Company options currently look “boring” compared to older kits
- The speaker hopes for improvements, but says earlier info “fell off a cliff.”
Black Templars (more speculative/theory-based)
- The speaker says the range was recently refreshed, highlighting:
- Grimaldis
- Helbrecht
- Sword Brethren
- Possible next steps they propose:
- Terminator Sword Brethren
- A Terminator-armored Marshall
- A chaplain in Terminator armor
- Something like a Tervan-type/huge thematic upgrade (unclear phrasing)
- They also float a Black Templar-themed dreadnought idea
- Including a chaplain dreadnought concept
- Emphasis on uncertainty, with an explicit request for community ideas.
Chaos Timing: Major Concern
The speaker argues Chaos is unusually delayed:
- If the first five codexes are non-Chaos, and the next wave is Jan/Feb, then Chaos could be months away.
Rough seasonal rhythm laid out
- Custodes: late October
- AOS / other releases likely in November
- Christmas boxes in December
- Codex cycle restarts in January
- Starting with Tau, then potentially Tyranids / Dark Eldar
Chaos hopes and rumor themes
- Possible new Terminator lords and Terminator-focused releases
- Possible Doomrider plus Chaos bikers
- Uncertainty whether it belongs to the generic Chaos codex or a themed one (with Slaanesh mentioned)
- Expectation that dedicated Chaos sub-factions would come later:
- Death Guard
- World Eaters
- Thousand Sons
- Emperor’s Children
The speaker calls the timeline “ridiculous” if accurate and hopes Chaos arrives sooner.
Call to Action
Viewers are asked to comment with their top 10 codex wishes, using this structure:
- The first three are fixed: Orcs, Space Marines, Custodes
- Ranks #4–#10 are open to discussion, including the reasons behind each pick.
