Ok thanks for the info!

**Moopy**

Love the "Don't you DARE leak this!! >: O " message on the bottom... leaked to the world.

Screw your policy GW- some year you'll realize you can't control this. Just knock it off an keep making awesome figures.

**NimbleJack3**

I am absolutely stoked for the arrival of proper Cultist miniatures! I can finally have proper Necromunda figures, as well as possibly DH models.

I can't find a price in the OP, but here and there in the last couple pages the Limited Edition has been quoted with a pricetag of $108 - what currency is this, and how accurate is the figure?

$107 USD for the limited edition(includes the Interrogator Chaplain limited model), $99.99 USD for the standard.

**NimbleJack3**

That's AUD$102 and AUD$95, respectively. However, there will probably be the usual ridiculous Australian markup.

Thanks for the info.

**H.B.M.C.**

Yeah. Expect AUD$150 for the regular and $175 for the Ltd Ed.

The set is £65, €85, preorders on the 25th.

EDIT: And Hellbrutes are BS4.

Well, that's it for the nonsense in the last few posts, at least.

I have seen nothing in the rumors to suggest it will be BS4..... The current trend is Demonic possession of vehicles reduces their BS to 3 so I really don't think the flyer or hellbrute or the other engines will be very accurate to compensate for that frightening amount of fire power.

**Lucarikx**

The Ltd. Edition is only $7.01 more than the regular? Boo yah!

**daedalus**

Just finally read the OP. Them's some nice Necromunda figs on the Chaos side...

**DeffDred**

Thne chosen models are OTT. I hape future models for chaos are just as detailed otherwise they will look a little "too" chosen IMHO.

Here you go:

Hellbrute

120pts base

Type: Walker
Rules: Rampage

Armour: F12 S12 R10
WS4 BS4 S6 I4

Multi-Melta / Power Fist (with inbuilt combi-bolter); Because it is a Walker, it does not strike at I1.

Multi-Melta can be swapped for
Butcher Cannon, or
Twin Reaper Autocannons, or
Twin-linked Lascannon, or
Twin-linked Heavy Flamer.

Combi-Bolter can be swapped for Meltagun or Heavy Flamer.

Mark of Khorne: Rage USR
Mark of Nurgle: At the beginning of the turn, a D6 result of 5+ restores a Hull Point, OR can repair a immobilised / weapon destroyed.
Mark of Slaanesh: Sonic Scream (offensive & defensive grenades)
Mark of Tzeench: Flame weapons (if equipped) gain +1 strength and -1 AP (AP4 becomes AP3, etc)

**Grey Templar**

I'm going to start a Nurgle army. And every time my Cultists take an objective I'm going to say "HWEEEE KAPTURED EEET FOR KAOSSSSS!!!"

**KalashnikovMarine**

Welp Chaos now officially has it's annoying battlecry. So that's one benny of the set.

Edit:

You know I'm really starting to think that GW's secrecy policy is a giant frigging marketing ploy. They have a veil of secrecy, occasionally publicly "crush" an employee who was leaving for another opportunity and will still have a good review and feeds a variety of real and false leads to the various tipsters to whip us all into a frenzy.

**Grey Templar**

Better then the DA battlecry

**KalashnikovMarine**

Hey now, Azarel's last poem was quite excellent I thought.

It's from Dawn of War 1. Hardly news!

**lunarman**

Any word on what slot hellbrutes are? Heavy support or elites?

I have a feeling there won't be enough slots in this chaos codex!

**Rex-Nine**

The hellbrute is going to be the first thing I paint when I get the set, I don't even play chaos but it looks awesome!

Yes, but damonic possesion is virtually useless in the new rules as glancing hits aren't ignored 2/3 of the time. They just remove a hull point. IMO unless daemonic possesion gets better or cheaper the -1BS isnt viable when compared to boggo exta armour.

**Bloodhorror**

I'll be there, if these things are BS4 and i can give him a Butcher cannon......

I'm buying 3

Replace the Multimelta for a Butcher cannon to pop the tanks, and then run around with Mark of Tzeentch and a heavy flamer powerfist.

Or if i want to go combat, give him rage and just charge him into a mob of orks. Hooray for Rampage

!

**Praxiss**

Looks like i have some converting to do on my Dreads.

**Kroothawk**

Hastings confirmed that we will see both a CSM and Dark Angel Codex this year, CSM in late September and DA in November (and a Tau Codex and then Eldar Codex after the double Chaos Daemons release)

No... wait... I want them to remove Tau from the game. I got mixed up again. Sorry!

The hellbrute still has a chaos space marine at its heart so thats justifiably why it has BS4... as opposed to normal daemonic possession that replaces a vehicles crew. Next I'm pretty sure the rumor was that Daemonic possession also conveys the "It will not die" USR,,, regenerating hull points.

Sure, but now there's actual cultists to encourage table top use.

**nos**

Choas is looking awesome! Can't wait to start them! must...wait...till....6th!

**RiTides**

There's no way GW would gimp that shiny new model with BS3 anyway, imo

. They'll want to be selling loads of 'em.

**nos**

anyone have the price yet? i skimmed (when i say skimmed i mean going through 39 pages is a hard task haha) through this thread and i couldn't see any definite answer. hoping it stays the same price (or less!) as Assault on Black Reach

**d-usa**

Been mentioned a couple of times in the last few pages actually.
