So now a new Chaos codex is about to hit. I'm normally all for content, but this seems a bit ridiculous. I'm really curious to hear from event organizers how they intent to handle all of this. I mean on the one hand, it seems like you really can't block anything that has come out, but then on the other, there is no way most players are going to be able to keep up with the content, and issues during play are bound to arise at a much higher rate.
I will admit that I feel completely overwhelmed by the current release pace...and I don't even play often. What scares me is the risk of multiple books that have slightly different rules or options on the same unit. For example, the new hellbrute kit. GW wants to sell it. But hellbrutes are not exactly a top tier unit from CSM codex. Even people that got the model from the box set aren't typically fielding it. So GW releases a new "codex" that heavily features the hellbrute. Does that mean they give it new rules to make it attractive and viable?
Again, this is just speculation, I don't know what the new codex has in it. But that is my fear. GW will just start pumping out new codexes that enhance flagging models so that sales will pick up.
