Campaigns and Expansion (4th)
As in 3rd Edition, the 4th Edition of the rules also introduced Expansions, codices that didn't deal with a single force but rather expanded the rules for select settings and situations.
Cities of Death
Apocalypse
3rd Edition
The 3rd Edition codices were much smaller and less detailed than the second. This is because several new races were invented and five or six codices a year could be produced.

The 2nd Edition box set included three codex-style books in addition to the core rulebook.

Codices (2nd)
The 2nd Edition was substantially more colourful and the new Codex books reflected this fact. More detailed information, such as background and organisation, was included, adding more depth and details to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
