Rumor Has It: CSM Codex Rumor Drop Part 2

Thanks for waiting everyone.

If you missed my first drop here is a link to take you back a few weeks.

https://bloodofkittens.com/blog/2012/07/23/rumor-has-it-csm-codex-rumor-drop/

First off, I want to say that it just doesn’t make any sense for GW to release the new Starter Set with models that doesn’t have a codex, so we have to assume that CSM codex will be out before the starter set. The only way they don’t  (would be a big slap in the face) would be they add a mini update like Daemons and still put off the CSM codex release.

Anyway on to more rumors/leaks.

Remember I might just repeat other rumors floating around and debunk others.
