A little while ago GW brought out Faction Packs and I wrote about them Here: GW Brings out Faction Packs. An improvement but still has gaps.
This was the new evolution of 10th edition rules of Warhammer 40k, which has been an edition that would receive many updates to both core rules and army rules as time went on. They would even introduce new units and characters for both narrative and tournament play from time to time.
All the Indexes have now gone and all faction now use their Codexes and now: Faction Packs.
The Faction Pack contains only the rules for the additional rules not found in the Codexes, as well as Errata/FAQ, and the Legends Datasheets.
So the plan is to go back into Datasheets for Codexes to review now, starting at the oldest Codex that was released as those would be most likely to be given a 11th Edition in 2026! Yes... a NEW Edition is coming for Warhammer 40k... "Summer 2026".... which I think means Summer for the Northern Hemisphere.
I will, for now, skip doing any reviews for Legends. There are enough Datasheets in the Tournament valid game as it is!
So the order of release and therefore the order of my reviews shall be as follows:
Space Marines - September 2023 Tyranids - September 2023 Adeptus Mechanicus - November 2023 Necrons - November 2023 Dark Angels - February 2024 T'au Empire - March 2024 Adeptus Custodes - April 2024 Orks - April 2024 Chaos Space Marines - May 2024 Genestealer Cults - June 2024 Adepta Sororitas - June 2024 Imperial Agents - August 2024 Blood Angels - October 2024 Aeldari - February 2025 Astra Militarum - February 2025 Emperor's Children - April 2025 World Eaters - May 2025 Death Guard - May 2025 Thousand Sons - May 2025 Choas Knights - June 2025 Space Wolves - July 2025 Black Templars - August 2025 Grey Knights - August 2025 Leagues of Votann - August 2025 Imperial Knights - September 2025 Drukhari - October 2025
I do not know of any further release schedules as this time.
I shall do a re-run of the Faction Rules and all Detachment rules because some of them have been altered since my last review and to keep it all together.
So I shall begin again with the Space Marines.
They have a their Faction Rule, plus 11 Detachments (the most of any army I am sure), and they have 97 Datasheets. BTW, they also have 76 Legends Datasheets! (More than most but again... sidelined for now.)
So this is the Plan:
Faction Space Marines - The Rule, the Review and a bit about how it operates in the game. 1 post All 11 Detachment Rules, each has rules, Enhancements, Stratagems. They can be quite resource intensive. 11 posts. Then the 97 Datasheets. 97 Datasheets.
That makes for a total of 109 Posts for Hive. 50% of the Post Rewards will be shared with @zakl.hobbyfund, which is my Hobby Fund account. The savings there... and possibly the Savings Interest eventually, will be used to build the biggest Warhammer 40k Imperial army ever... I have some goals and aspirations there!
See you soon!
