Yup, already got that one. Anyway, as it is, did they do one for Cadians? Or Valhallans? Or for that matter, any others?

They don't really need any new rules, as Catachans were the only existing alternate codex that wasn't negated by the switch from 3rd to 4th Edition or the induction of the new IG codex. The Steel Legion List from Codex Armageddon was allready negated, and the doctine system covers pretty much everything. 'Tis a pity. But I'd like to see tGW release Greatcoat models...

As I promised, here are the changes in the new CODEX:CATACHAN PDF.
First of all, GW says that, if you want to use Deathworld Vets. in your regular guard army, use the Catachan Doctrines. However, the news does get better. Despite the loss of the Hobby section in the pdf, the re-release of the codex actually gives the Catachans some benefits.
Changes to the codex include:
1:Under the old Catachan Codex, Deathworld Vets. could only see 12'' if they didn't move, and now the codex says that Deathworld Vets can see 12" into jungle/forest terrain regardless of movement. biggrin
2: The limit of 1 demo-charge per turn has been lifted.
3: Sentinels can now also re-roll Dangerous Terrain Tests (pg. 17 of 4th edition rulebook). Too bad they don't have an armor save.
4: Other changes include re-arrangement of the heavy weapons choices ( heavy flamers are no longer last), some minor wording changes, removal of all references to attached Deathworld Vet. squads to regular IG armies and replacing them with a statement that players should use the Catachan Doctines if they want attached Deathworld Vet. squads, comm-links are now called vox-casters, and the Ambush rules are in the back, making a small typo in the Elite: Sniper choice ( it says the ambush rules are in the front.) Also, Tau auspex equilvalents are added in the Ambush rules and the Jungle Terrain Generator has lost the optional dice roll for the first entry.
5: While the codex mentions autoguns, the IG Codex or the 4th edition rulebook has no stats for them. So I looked them up in the 3rd edition rulebook, and they are exactly like lasguns. Pity.
And those are the changes in the Catachan Codex PDF from the old Codex. All in all, 3 minor bonuses.

Glad to have done it. Just hope some others start up Deathworld Vet armies ( or at least let me play 'em instead of regular IG)

Oh that sucks.. I just finished converting my Catachan Devil squad, like 20 min ago. I wanted to use them for close combat... now I can only use them as vets with a BS of 4 instead of WS of 4... stare
