Default Demonhunters New Codex

Has anyone heard any verifiable rumors of the DH getting a new codex? I know that the space wolves are getting a new dex come october but who's after them? I'm getting in pretty deep with this army but am fairly pissed at their lack of playability. Grey knights are super expensive as every new dex comes out with cheaper and cheaper units. For instance I pay 80 points base for my dreads.
I mean seriously, the army doesn't have 1 fast attack choice (yeah I know that you can take GK and teleport them in for a fast attack slot) The problem is that nothing can really move quickly in my army. I want jump pack GK, or maybe drop pod dreads, or something original like a unit that can teleport while on the board. A land speeder storm would be sweet, but I think that the best solution would be some original models available only to the DH army. Seriously the Witch hunters get exorcists and what not, we deserve something super bad-@$$ as well.
Any takers?

I don't think the Inquisition is on GW's radar for a while. :'(

We will have to make due with old codex, on a up note there is some what of a allies update in the 'Ardboy rules, and Forgeworld still has some love for the =I=.

I'm not sure when Daemonhunters would get an update or how it would be done.
But in truth, not getting an update anytime soon doesnt bother me all that much (it still does bother me though.
I don't think we need new units or anything, just a general update to 5th edition, points decreases here and there, stat changes (A space marine captain shouldn't be better in combat then a GK Grandmaster).
And an updating of rule for them aswell etc.

Nothing to much really, I quite like the army how it is.

Either that, or a return to the days when apparently a terminator squad would cost over 1000 points and were ridiculously powerful, that'd be nice to.

I'm with you on that thought.

I would like to have another troop option as Storm Troopers will cost the same as the ones in the IG codex, and GK's will still be around 20pts.

One thing I thought of Today that I wouldn't think is a bad thing to have would be Valkyries for our stormtroopers.
It keeps in line with a general update and If IG can use them the Inquisition definitely can. And they would add a lot more mobility and fire power that our army lacks.

if you want this play C:SM, if you're desperate for GK then paint some pods and speeders up in GK colours, and use GK models to represent space marines
