"Thought Begets Doubt, Doubt Begets Heresy and Heresy Begets Retribution."
- Codex Imperialis [2]


The Codex Imperialis is a new Imperial document being written by Roboute Guilliman in early M42. Unlike the Codex Astartes which focused purely on military organisation, the Codex Imperialis will be largely a civic document focusing on the reorganisation of Imperial government. In addition, it will include the first reliable history of the Imperium in 10,000 years.[1]
