Vigilus Ablaze, new Codex Chaos Space Marines and more on pre-order next week...

The Noctilith Crown also represents some exciting developments in the lore. Last year, in Forgebane, we found out Blackstone can be attuned to weaken or strengthen the power of the warp. The Noctilith Crown is one example of what happens when the Heretic Astartes get their hands on this miraculous mineral, used to sunder the veil and allow ingress for their daemonic allies

Rather spiffy!

Really like how, even with a reissue of the Codex, you don't NEED it if you have the previous one. Solid move, GW.

Very Cool, I like that terrain piece a lot.

The new Chaos Marines look ace, and I imagine the new terminators will as well.

Ok, totally sold on a couple of CSM squads and there Stargate along with Vigilus 2.

The terrain piece has a very Stargate vibe (chevron seven, locked!)...

Favourite so far is the CSM with Bolter holding the ammo belt. Just a really nice, new take.

Need that Stargate. Can anyone tell how tall it is? Looks like it should fit a Dreadnought through it, if those are human skulls.

Personally I like the CSM on the right...


... if you get enough chain weapons and bolt pistols in the kit I could see these being used in place of the ancient Khorne Berzerker kit (and I really like the paint scheme).

For a bunch of filthy traitors, those are some nice looking kits

Blurb suggests bits for ranged and the old hackyslashy.

It’s also compatible with ‘most’ other Marine Kits (so all but Primaris and Deathguard, I guess)

Looks good. The CSM look a little too uniform for me, but as suggested some kitbash should help there. Also after the Webwayportal for the Eldar this is the 2nd Not-Stargate they release in a short time. Maybe one for other factions, like Orks, will follow.

So new Terminators and Possessed when?

Terminators likely week after next, as the ar5icld says this isn’t all Chaos are getting. )

Orks don't use a planet bound gate that I know of, but a Necron dolmen gate sounds like a good idea.

I can make out something interesting in the screenshot that shows the new black legion traits.

Mere Mortals: Cultists don't gain legion traits.

Black Legion Trait has stayed the same too - +1 leadership and advance to make all guns assault weapons.

Edit: There is also something about not being able to use the old version of 'Veterans of the Long War' if you use the version in this supplement, which means they're changing that stratagem. Looks like they're taking that off cultists too.

Kromlech has you covered!

Soooo, no rules changes to codex csm except the new data sheets and stuff for black legion/renegades? Lame.... But hey, at least another cultist nerft on top, its chaos after all

This looks like one of the best releases ever. It is very encouraging that gw is willing to make all these renegade rules and codex updates.

But will they fix csm stats enough to make them good?

Something for the Fallen in Vigilus too, I'm a liking that,

I think that CSM kit has a good balance of 'baroque' and simplicity. Just enough to feel Chaos-ey but not so much to make painting a Troop option too cumbersome. I especially like how it has several marks of armor. Was kinda hoping for more crazy pauldrons that the photo seems to indicate. I am just hoping GW doesn't want $60+ for it.

That stuff looks dope. I'm currently assembling the chaos side of Shadowspear and I love the models. Now my wallet is going to hate me.

Huzzah! I actually predicted something!

But on more serious note, this is going to be awesome release. Actually I may end up ordering few things after I get my GSC in shape.

those chaos marines are awesome, quick replacement of the heads for one of the legion sets and were a go!!!

That was quick.

Wonder if we'll get Infiltrator modular kits soon. I needs those to kitbash.

Looks like Cultist won't have access to Chapter Tactics at all...

Did anyone else notice that world eaters and emperor's children where the only legions (who don't have a codex) to not get an example colour scheme with the new chaos space marines ?

That's okay, but slightly bizarre. It's the stratagems that break cultists...has very little to do with the actual traits. At 5 points a model, that's tough....very. The only thing I could count on was my gakky cultists occasionally advancing and charging (just to die anyway).

They can't have really done big changes seeing old codex is still supposed to be usable with FAQ+CA.

Pale CSM with power fist looks like he’s making a spank motion
