Hrm, looking at some of the new rules for the daemon engines...

You mean rumored rules for daemon engines or was there another leak?

Rumored rules of course. If they're accurate, it's worrying, I'm hoping there's stuff about them we haven't seen yet, because a nearly 200pt AV12 gun platform in 6E is going to have a difficult time earning its keep I fear, and similarly costed CC platforms certainly won't.

Really? I was expecting the fiends to be MCs...

Anyone got anything?

If there were, you'd have seen them. We're only just now getting pictures of stuff you'll see on Friday.

I don't see a Dark Apostle though. As a Word Bearers guy, that interests me greatly...

And lol new Oblits look terrible. Mainly the face.

It was the picture of the guy with the cigarette burn in his scrollwork.

Well it isn't on the OP of this thread, found it on Warseer though



Not really sure what to think....Was gonna convert the Interrogator-Chaplain from Dark Vengeance originally. Still may.

It was a few pages back; however, you are correct. The OP does need to be updated.

I like it, but I convert most of my HQ's as you say. I doubt I'd buy this if it's a finecast. Converting and painting is what I like most about 40k.

Just as people were freaking out that the only chaos releases were the ones we saw yesterday,

Hey, I'm still here and a few extra character sculpts and failcast failbliterators didn't change my mind. 3 plastic kits is a really weak release for the flagship Codex and allegedly the flagship faction of this edition. It's on par with a Chapter codex - and those can draw on the huge existing pool of SM plastics as well.

Of course you'll say that there will be another wave following soon, and I would tend to agree, because I certainly don't believe for a moment that they plan to release a new faction every month.

Glad you got my bit out of the way.

What? What? What? WHAT?



How can they even put those on the same page as the chosen??? Instead of fixing the oblits they chose to actually make them worse... Jesus...

Not sure if it was explicitely mentioned:
Preorder next Saturday (22nd September), release 6th October.
Includes Codex, Helldrake, Forgefiend/Clawfiend, Raptors/Warp talons, Mutilators, Warpsmith, Dark Apostle, Sorcerer, Aspiring champion, psi cards, finecast Obliterators, Finecast upgrade packs (1k Sons, Nightlords, Iron Warriors, Noise Marines, Chaos Bike) plus several finecast recasts of CSM characters. (when I talked about more releases than shown, I was referring to the 4 units shown yesterday)

CSM Codex will also get a digital version in October (Ipad only as usual).

I fiond the Warpsmith too similar to the SM Collectors Techmarine with Servoharnass, which I also dislike.

The Warpm Talons are cool, JP and dual LC is awesome, as is the MkII style JP they have (reminiscent of the MkIV JP of Sanguary guard design, very cool).

The Dragonthing looks cool and seems good but I wouldn't want one, nor want to see one in a game I'm in. Just not Chaos.

The dinosaur things are fugly. Nuff' said.

The sorceror looks aweful.

The CC Oblits are ok. I think they look a bit like ogres with all the stone bits sticking out of them, and the one nearest the camera in the pic looks like he has a Ork PK. And WTF is up with their faces?


Overall rather disappointing and I think I will stick with the current range is this is all we have to upgrade with. I currentl;y have a fledging (Just Dark Vengeance) CSM army and from the looks of thses I doubt any would be my cup of tea. Maybe the Warp Talons but not Khorney enough for me. I hope there are new Zerkers.

giant doctor who pic

That Doctor Who pic might have been a bit big.

When I see the fiend models, I think more obliterator techno virus than daemon engine. The Dark Mechanicus will likely have a much bigger presence in this codex than in previous versions, and the fiends fit very well with that in mind. Who knows, they may be genetically engineered, warp-infused cyborg constructs instead of true daemon engines. The helldrake however, meh, it fits well with a Tzeentch army, thats about it IMO. Could just be the way its painted...

Its obvious that the Warptalons are to Chaos what Vanguard Veterans are to C:SM....another jump unit with probably more attacks and a special rule over the base jump units.

I must express my hate for the prices though, GW should be nicer to their trade partners cas they are going to be the only ones making any sales...

Those Oblit faces are beyond terrible, finecast too, oh my, they just need terrible rules for the trifecta of poop.

No, they need awesome rules so all the WAACers will be forced to buy them and i can laugh and laugh and laugh.

I was hoping we would get get good Oblits, so I wouldn;t have to put up with conversions with 8million guns glued on them....Now I'd sooner see the conversions.

My favorite oblit conversion I've seen was someone who fitted an entire Space Marine Devastators pack onto them and a Leman Russ Battlecannon....

Favorite for the lulz factor anyway.

It must be nice at GW to get the easiest job of making those teaser trailers. A hour or two of work and Mai Tais the rest of the day.

I'm glad that I haven't used Oblits since 3rd and those faces just gave me more reason to keep whistling past their codex section.

That Asp. Champ is sweet and will have a welcome spot next to the chosen.

White Dwarf. Guess that's a new category in your rumour tracking thread

Obliterators and everything else thats metal goes finecast, that includes Death Guard and Thousand Sons.
the Codex cover artwork is the one that was already used by the BL "Blood Gorgons" Novel.

There are only 4 psychic powers per God, sadly.
If you upgrade your Demon prince to a specific god he gains hatred for the opposed chaos god

A posessed vehicle ignores stinned an shaken on 2+, but if a unit embarks you have to roll a D6 : on a roll of 1 you lose a random member if the squad and the vehicle regains 1hp
Obliterators can morph assault cannons
