Rumor is some stores are starting to get the black boxes with Codex's. Any truth to this at any of the stores in upstate?
Edit:
Okay the preorders are up on the site. I am Anal about helping my FLGS and will not buy online unless there are no other options. Are the stores set up to participate in preorder and should I order at Baldo's or MG?

Did you all see this on GW
About Lelith:
"Lelith Hesperax is the ideal accompaniment to your Wych squads and she really is a walking weapon. With Weapon Skill 9 and 4 Attacks that ignore armour saves, plus an extra one for each point her Weapon Skill is higher than her foe's, Lelith can murder entire squads."
About the Archon:
Archon model has access to the Huskblade, which causes Instant Death on any model that suffers an unsaved wound, regardless of their Toughness
;D

Good lord. It seems they're giving them quite a boost after 12 years without an update. Not that I'm complaining. ;D
Also, it seems the melta lance is in. The jetbike pre-order says that they can take a "heat lance." Man, I'm so d**n excited.

If she is still only strength 3 that takes a lot of the sting out of her. Not saying she is not really good, but wound rolls are always tough for DE. Will have to wait and see the final rules before I can comment too much.

Yeah, as I've gathered so far, Lelith is ws9 str3 t3 i7 a4 with +1a for every ws point she has over her intended target. She may end up with 8-9 attacks against most units but also only wounding on 5+ or 6. Also no mention of her having EW, just a 4++ vs shooting, 3++ in CC.
The sneak shot of the Mandrake looks sweet though, I just hope they're actually worth fielding.
Other words through the grapevine -
Implosion Missiles - Small blast, models touched must roll equal or less to their wounds or suffer instant death.
Husk Sword - Causes ID in CC, available to Archons.
Looks like just about everything will cost more points, raiders @60, warriors @9ea with +25 for a dark lance. Still a lot of possibilities but they definately will still hit hard and go down easily if left in the open.
Ordered my codex today also woooo!

Anyone know if their is going to be a box set? I would rather get the codex in a box with some models rather than buy it all seperate.

No mention of a boxed set yet. Someone posted a lot of information on dakka from the codex today. Lots of cool stuff, looks like most of the army can attain FnP which couuld be lame but at least they're all t3 (cept the t5 FnP Grotesques lol).
Several units can turbo boost 36" - bikes and fighter bombers.
Several vehicles can purchase 5++ wargear.
Several shooting and cc weapons that cause ID.
Most vehicles can move 12" and fire everything.
Most units costed up so won't see as much raider/lance spam.
Archon court/retinue looks sweet with several different xenos species.
Should be the strongest xenos release to stand up to Wolves and Angels, can't wait to see how they play out on the table.

It seems like they're going to be absolutely deadly against hordes and enemy characters, but it looks like anti-tank got a huge points increase. Couple that with the fact that units can't take as many lance weapons, and it seems DE might have some trouble against mech. Can anyone that's seen the codex shed any light on that?
On a side note, my old DE models look even more hideous by comparison now.

Dark lances went up to 25pts and warriors can only take 1 per 10 now. However, blasters are now str8 lance 18".
They also added heat lances which are str6 ap1 melta lance.
Also, ravagers can move 12" and fire all 3 lances. There are two new aircraft also. The fighter has 2 dark lances and can move 12" and fire everything. The bomber has void lances which are str9 ap2 lance and it can also move 12" and fire everything. It also has a 1 use void bomb which it drops during its movement phase which is a 5" blast str9 ap2 lance bomb.
Reavers can have blasters, you have lances and blasters in warrior units, lances on raiders, ravagers, and aircraft. I don't think anti-tank will be an issue.

Holy crap, I was sorely mistaken. I had just heard that warriors could only take 1 lance @ 25 pts, and that wyches couldn't take blasters anymore. Every time I hear more about this codex, it gets crazier and crazier. I'm pumped.
