Hi all, Well I've been rooting through my old collection of books and whatnot sat on the shelves as part of clearing out some junk, and I've come across a number of old Codexes. Now I was last buying them up to around 2001-2003 - the period where GW extended the life of the 40k 3rd Edition by re-releasing codexes without changing the rules. Of course, I know 4th edition followed around 2004/5 and the 5th edition uncommonly quickly in 2008 - but I gather not all of the codexes have been updated yet and are still considered game-legal.(What happened to GW's masterplan 5 year cycle for games anyway?) So I guess my question is, is any of what I have unchanged and still legit for gameplay or have all of the codexes updated in 4th edition while I was away? I'm especially curious about the Cityfight book released in 2001 as I still note GW selling a similar product. Also, I did pick up the old early Imperial Armour hardback tomes (volume 1 - Guard and volume 2 - Marines) are they still in use? I know what I've got is still nice from a fluff point of view, but space is at a premium, so if they're not usable I might just end up getting rid... Thanks GB |

I think the Guard codex is alright for about another month, after that only the Dark Eldar and Space Wolf codexes haven't been touched yet. |
