On the inside back cover of each of these new Codexes you’ll find a code to unlock its digital version on the Warhammer 40K app. Naturally, therefore, as with previous new editions of the game, keen players of each of these armies were all bursting to see their favourite faction brought up to date, right from the moment 9th edition was announced in May 2020.īut the already-slow release cycle for these rulebooks was further delayed on December 4, when GW put the release of its new Death Guard codex on ice due to “unavoidable delays to crucial shipments”. After that book finally arrived in late January, GW has shied away from releasing any hard-and-fast timings for upcoming codexes, as the underlying production issues hampering its book releases appear to be affecting them still. These faction books, called Codexes – and the slimmed-down ‘Codex Supplements’ for offshoots such as the Dark Angels Space Marine chapter – contain all the in-game rules, abilities and statistics to update each of the game’s 20-odd playable armies to fit the new 9th Edition ruleset.
The planned release schedule for Games Workshop’s new Warhammer 40K 9th edition codexes has been repeatedly thrown out of whack – first, by the UK’s second nationwide covid lockdown in late 2020, and, thereafter, by an ongoing plague of printing and supply issues, to which GW has several times referred – with its customary coyness and penchant for in-universe references – as the work of the “ fickle winds of fate” or the treacherous Chaos god, Tzeentch.
