Is it just me or does the new Dark Apostle look like he has a napkin tucked in his armour ready for his dinner?

If the leaks on the roter canon are true and it is heavy 8 s5 -1 for 20 pts then a 5 man squad with one of those and a combi bolter on sarge would only be 87pts and pump out 18 shots at 24" thats pretty solid IMHO. Its 8 points cheaper then 5 noise marines and it has 3 more shots, 8 of which are at higher strength and AP.

I actually don't think CSM are that bad at all with that set up.

3 of those with red corsair trait and a lord with the relic combi and you have a very decent fire base and solid CP farm.

GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"

Something i've just noticed... Do Masters of Possession gain access to the god specific psychic powers or not? I'm presuming they do, but hadn't thought about it until now.

They don't. The god-specific powers are part of the Dark Hereticus discipline, which the MoP does not get access to. There's a roundabout way to do it by paying to swap out a psychic power with a stratagem.


Thanks!

I mean, except for the times they were wrong. You just count the hits and ignore the misses.

See a few examples in the following:

-Ork lists featuring Trakktor kannons and other Mek Gunz will steamroll the competitive meta

-Genestealer Cultist lists featuring abberrant bombs will steamroll the competitive meta

-The tau codex makes tau useless and nerfs them super hard and they will never be seen in a tournament again

-Deldar wyches and reavers are the most broken things in the game and will steamroll the competitive meta

-Deathwatch with storm bolters and storm shields post-CA are ridiculously op and will steamroll the competitive meta

If you don't remember these things, it's because your brain is probably wired similarly to all human brains: To notice every successful prediction and go "PATTERN PATTERN PATTERN PATTERN".

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

And I really don't see what is wrong with adding such a detachment to any LEGION army. It can very well represent recently defected Renegades that are just joining the Legion. So it would make sense for them not to have the same traits as the Marines that have been around for a millennia or so.

I'm excited for what this means for CSM, although I do hope it isn't the start of a trend for other Factions

I actually think Huron himself is a perfectly good commander to use in the Piratical 17. He's 8 points over a normal sorc for a heavy flamer, a far better melee profile and a reroll aura. Plus another CP if you don't have a good use for a warlord trait.

The other one will be either an elixir prince or a warpsmith with that relic multi melta. With advance+charge you might even budget away the DP wings if you're feeling super duper stingy. And, if you don't, first turn charges with him have a decent chance.

The Apostle is pretty meh. Sadly. I'm planning to redo my Word Bearers, after all I love the attendants, though.

Strangely enough I ordered a box of Delaque with my Shadowspear copy to represent an attendant for each CSM. Mixing in Flagellant and Cawdor bits in, probably. I love the juxtaposition of Astartes and humans and the artwork of Marines being armed for battle.

The Terminators are bugging me a bit, I'd like to see them photoshopped with more rounded Indomitus pauldrons, I think the slope in the updated ones makes them a bit too sleek.
