I've got a helbrute with one big eye for a Pilot.

He looks pretty good and it fits really well

And I'v got the White Dwarf magazine. MAOAHAHA!!

Amusing how the special rules rotate from codex to codex.

in 3rd ed, Khorne zerker champs had feel no pain, Plague marines did not have it all (they had true grit).
in 4th ed, plague marines got feel no pain
in 6th ed, slaanesh gets feel no pain.

at that rate the next chaos codex will give it to thousand sons (pretty sure dust has no pain receptors )

This! People complaining about FNP need to realize that was a 4th change. One that made PMs the only viable cult choice. Now, FNP is reduced in effectiveness and switched again to a lower T unit. But if you really want the 5+, just do counts as. PMs do need to come down in price, though, as I 3 T5 Poison isn't that great. That being said, the bar set by Grey Knights and GHs seems to indicate CSM should be much cheaper all around. Cult troops shouldn't break 20 points with all the bells and whistles. After all, a GK comes standard with a power weapon, stormbolter, and fearless with squad psyker powers to be S5, have a Force weapon, etc. Charging 20 points for a fearless MEQ with a stat bump here and a special rule there still seems overpriced. Additionally, it also seems like CSM remain sub par Grey Hunters. While not having Acute Senses doesn't really matter (but it is still a perk that should be costed appropriately) the loss of ATSKNF makes CSM markedly worse to the tune of probably 2-3 points per model. Even with re-roll LD, it still comes nowhere close to autorally and should be a 2 point break.

My concern is that if CSM has a subpar core, even with shiny new toys, it will still either 1) funnel players into limited builds (see current C:CSM) or 2) be pretty much useless (see C:Eldar).

On the upside, I hope NMs are really good as I have a nicely painted Heresy EC force that would love to see play (or at least get a good price for ). Looks like my converted PMs may have to go up for sale sooner rather than later though....

I've never rolled on it since I've never played 6th

the FNP for Slaanesh and not Nurgle, but whatever. I've been wanting to expand my Death Guard to include a Fabius Bile led enhanced warrior contingent for awhile, so I'm going with that and am just going to have fun with the new rules.

What does bother me is not only do we not get new special character, we don't get a single new sculpt for our existing special characters. I was really excited for a new Kharn sculpt, and hoping for a new Bile sculpt. Considering all the new SM sculpts that are made year in, year out, anything new for special characters sculpts after 10-16 years of the same sculpts would be welcome.

I was hoping for some new sculpts too, Kharne is a bit overdue, a new Abbadon would have been nice too.

Speculation on my part -- from now on, we're going to see the kits for the brand new units prioritized for the launch, in order to avoid Chapterhouse-type situations. Then we'll see replacement models in later waves.

I think the biggest priority should be a reworking of the regular chaos marines. The current ones no longer fit the new aesthetic.

There is no longer a getting started section for Chaos Marines on Games Workshop.

If anyone can scan his WD so we can take a look...
Oh goss I hoped that they will release the digital version today but it will be tomorrow, Saturday..

I'm done updating this thread. Feel free to start a new one if new info comes about.

So true... But I'd add the Cult Marines/Iron Warriors/Night Lords to the "to do" list as well. Finecast bits taken from the old moulds? That was lazy...

To be honest i never saw the appeal in the iron Warris upgrade bits. None of it seemed especially Iron Warriors-y. it would have been better (and made them more money) if GW produced a pack of back-packs with servo arms.

Not all the iron warriors would have them though...

Only the Warsmiths and maybe Champions though?

You're welcome Rivet but the mods did a few updates to the first post and Pretre provided a lot of good pictures along with Brother SRM.

Agree here. With all the extra detail added to the DV chosen, standard chaos marines could use some more frills!

I want this so bad I would trade someone's kidney for it (but not mine of course).

was referring to fluffwise. Any space marine can take a huge wound and get back up, keep on going... but for the sake of GW selling many marine models they must be reduced to their present statline

As far as the look of the models, hearing Chaos players complain about how models look straight out of the box is just shameful. Chaos is MEANT TO BE CONVERTED!!! Think the fiends look a bit like dino whatevers?

This is exactly how I feel about Chaos and Orks (nids to a lesser extent)... you basically have cart blanche to do whatever you want to the model to fit whatever theme you want. I have DV and love all the models in it. Even though the hell brute looks cool all I could think about was how cool it would look with scales and if the tentacles were snakes bursting from it. I want to do another hellbrute with an eyeball in the middle where the pilot is... just really simple conversions that you can do with greenstuff and end up with a totally awesome and unique looking model.

I have heard the kit bash argument to death and the bottom line is, if we are forced to pay these idioti prices then the models SHOULD look awesome out of the box. As if I want to purchase a Necrosphinx AND a Fiend to arrive at one good looking unit

YAY! My joke gets can of snaked on someone!

I agree with you, Red Corsair. I will send you a picture of my Necrosphinx with magnetized arms for the Necrosphinx blades or 2 Punisher Gatling Cannons if you'd like. Cheap, and my Sphinx is already painted.

Sooooo, go go gadget Fiend.

For anyone too lazy to go to page 27 and look for the spoiler (that, and his spoiler tag doesn't work for some reason.) :



Now why isn't this on the OP?

That's probably one of the best models I've ever seen, but I most likely won't buy it.

Is it just me, or does the Apostle look like he has chaos star shaped fridge magnets over his nipples?

Yeah, it's probably the grocery list... I do it the same way at home

Why would Slaanesh want "Feel no pain"?
They should have "Feel lots of pain"
