These rumors sound completely off, and not what I have been hearing otherwise. If they are true then my army will be made completely redundant because my whole army is plague marines.

Or you can take the character that gets you plagues as troops. Poof, not redundant.

You can still run World Eaters without all Khorne Berserkers or Death Guard without all Plague Marines. I see it happen all the time.

Yeah but I dont take characters, only Lords, and what about those people that have multiple cult units as troops?

So if the named characters make the cult troops where will that leave my Plague Marine army with two daemon-princes?

You'll have 2 HQ choices, 3 Elite choices (probably) and will need to fill your troop choices.

Edit: IF these rumors are real.

They might be bs. Don't go selling your army or quit in rage. Just hang on a bit, man.

I wont be rage quitting I can guarantee you. I just pray that these rumours are a load of gak.

Yeah, not buying this. Sounds one part pure dumb, one part smoking asbestos joints and one part wishful thinking...
Do people actually "read"?... no "dreads" just a nearly identical unit of a different name.

Either way its still dumb, Chaos have always had Dreadnoughts.

No it isn't dumb... Especially if its a much more inclusive unit to allow the use upgrades to make some the dreadnought-like but not strictly speaking "dreadnought" units. of GW wants to have for example the blood-slaughterer in the same entry as the old "dreadnought" it isn't appropriate to call that new unit entry a "dreadnought".

Dreadnoughts are one of the iconic units of chaos space marines as well as space marines, there are a tonne of Dreadnoughts on forgeworld and we already have the decimator and defiler, so getting rid of chaos Dreadnoughts is stupid.
