Codex

To start playing Warhammer 40,000, once you’ve picked up the core rulebook, the next thing you need to do is to choose a faction and pick up their codex. A codex is the most important thing you need to start building your army! 
Discount Warhammer 40k codex
Each of our discounted codexes is made up of artwork, rules, points, and history for that faction. They have pages of lavishly drawn art, so grim and dark you’ll feel sucked right into the battlefields of the 41st millennium, as well as pages of pictures of stunning Citadel miniatures painted in a variety of colour schemes to inspire you. 

A codex also contains all of the faction’s lore and background, letting you know exactly who they are, why they fight, and why they’re awesome! It provides the story of that faction, and tells you who their most famous generals and leaders are, as well as tales of their victories to inspire you to build your own army and join their glorious ranks.  

Each of our discounted Warhammer 40k codex also contains a rundown of every unit in the faction, their battlefield role, and their storied history. Most importantly, however, every rule for a model in that faction will be in their codex, as well as their points and wargear, allowing you to choose the models that will make up your army. 

Each book also includes unique faction Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Relics, and unique objectives for gameplay, all of which further elaborate and strengthen a faction’s individual identity! 

Codex Supplements like Psychic Awakening are a little different. Each codex supplement is just that, a supplement to the full rulebook. These cover individual Chapters of Space Marines, and have access to many of the rules in the core codex, but also have unique and individual rules that can only be used if you build an army using the rules in that Supplement. Each supplement is a deep dive into one specific chapter, and gives you a closer look at them and their background and way of making war! 

You will need a copy of the Warhammer 40,000 Core Rulebook to use the rules in these codexes. 

You will need a copy of Codex: Space Marines to use the rules in any Supplement.
