DG players on facebook are saying that they removed the synergy between DG, Nurgle Daemons, and CSM. But left all the synergy between the imperial. Yep, they killed deepstriking with Magnus and Morty.

What more sinergy did they want? They are all Chaos units that can be combined to fit tactical roles your force maybe don't has. They are leagues ahead of xenos. Chaos Daemon units that buff "Daemonic" units still work. A Nurgle Herald will buff a DG Foetid Bloat Drone, giving his flamethrower +1S, the same with Marked Possessed, etc, etc... just like some Imperial units buff "Imperials" like Adeptus Custodes, Celestine, etc...

Chaos was the only faction that could use Stratagems from one Codex to use with units of other factions. And before "But Space Marines stratagems!" the generic <Adeptus Astartes> stratagems are shared in all of the Space Marine codexs so it doesn't matter you are ussing the Orbital bombarment stratagem in the C:SM codex, the DA or the BA one.

Focus is up!

Warpflame Gargoyles are back, baby!!

Ninjed XD

Gargoyles is so effin' good. AHHH. Roll those rhinos up and cook off the jerks getting in the way.

TS is a Rhino army for reals.

Spawn will be awesome. Tzaangors can fight twice. Oh god i don't have enough CP for this.

Fated Mutation is a very flavorfoul stratagem and usefull. I really like those.

I wonder what Brotherhood of Sorcerers does.

Yeah I like it a lot, it's great and makes me want to build Chaos Spawns !

Actually all these Stratagems are awesome. I want to run a Thousand Sons brigade more than ever... but 12CP won't be enough !!

I think it's the +6" to Psychic powers, our Legion trait.

Flesh change sounds nuts. Its also pretty useful, as you can burn a cp to replace a weakened character on the verge of death with a fresh unit at no points cost. I can see a shenanigan like that being used often.

Also, GW knows memes now

After the GK interaction with the Robbe FAQ, I think they'll FAQ that stratagem to count as "Slain the warlord" if you used it in your own warlord. But if not, thats a nice bonus.

True, but if the warlord is reduced to 1 wound and about to die anyway, might as well get some more mileage out of him before he's gone.

This is the 6" rule probably?

First and foremost, Thousand Sons players will be rewarded for their dedicated list building with Brotherhood of Sorcerers, a special rule designed to help them capitalise on their psychic powers.

Could be. Sounds like a faction trait.

I think they forgot to put the image for the Legion Trait.

Exactly your going to have to run Tzaangors and Cultists and keep the Rubrics at a minimum

Great! That sounds like a fun and fluffy army from the planet of the sorcerors, now that it is in realspace.

Talk about tone deaf...

We don’t know about the other stratagems. I can almost guarantee you that there will be a rubric oriented stratagem

we saw like 3 strategems, your goat-hate-lust is worthy of khorne himself.

if 30 rubrics is "at a minimum" then yes sir ill play at that minimum all day! ;-)

the best part about gargoyles is that you don't even have to start in combat. You can just advance a rhino into optimal kamikaze position and let 'er rip in the fight phase. Glorious.

Say, you know what wasn't disallowed in that stratagem? Defilers. Maulerfiends.

I call that; beautiful.

Yeah, 2 CP and replace your rubrics for another squad of Tzaangors!

Seriously though, they really are focused heavy on non marines so far.

Webway infiltration being infantry only makes me a little sad, but expected.

Chaos Spawn obviously haven't been selling well enough lately, but it will be interesting to see how they play out.

Warp flame gargoyle maulerfeind! That is awesome, like a mini mortarion

They could call the stratagem "Rubric 2: The Twobric". Pay 2cp to have one of your sorcerors make a hairbrained attempt at fixing the rubric, turn 1 squad of rubrics into tzaangors and gain the difference in points in Reinforcement Points that you can use to summon spawns onto the board and such.

This article has one thing about Tzaangors and apparently it's bad form to talk about anything else, too lest you bunch start panicking.

LOL god this is such a tired line. The whole sales of the spawn kit relies on a single stratagem. Go get 'em boys!

It's confirmed on 40K's Facebook page that Brotherhood of Sorcerers is the 6" Legion trait.

Didn't you know? In the entire history of tabletop gaming, no one has ever purchased a model just because they liked it. /s

it was a joke, most of my post was. I needed more ork faces I think.

With that said, if you don't think they have model sales in mind when they make the majority of their decisions.... Well, I guess we will just disagree on that, and that's OK too!
