Its not certain, but one of my contacts has eamiled me a newsletter which might be of intrest. The possibilty of a new codex in link with the release of the new rule book, new starter pack (with SM and 'Nids) and a possible new SM codex.

Well time for another newsletter. Some of you may have been hearing rumours about a new edition of “Warhammer 40k” coming out in the near future. WELL it’s true; I have been talking to GW and have been told some of the details.<O:P></O:P>
<O:P></O:P>
The core strategy in the revised rules is that all current codex’s and models will remain compatible with the new rules<O:P></O:P>
The rules will come out as a stand alone book - a normal and deluxe version (no details)<O:P></O:P>
The introductory boxed set will be based on "The Battle for Macragge"<O:P></O:P>
It will include (obviously) Marines and Tyranids<O:P></O:P>
All the box set figures can be assembled without glue in under 30
minutes (confirming the "starter" mini rumour)<O:P></O:P>
The terrain piece is the very nice crashed shuttle<O:P></O:P>
The rule set in the box set is smaller than the stand-alone product, without all the colour hobby pages.
<O:P></O:P>
As noted this will have no effect on Armies and Codex’s already collected. There will be a new Space Marine and Tyranid codex out in the 1st quarter of 2005.

It's just a rumour and I'm not sure if it is actually true, but we can only hope
Cheers
