Also, Typhus does turn Cultists into plague zombies. They become Fearless, SnP, have FnP, can't take options, and are counted as being armed with a single CCW, and can't shoot. Considering that you can have up to 35 cultists in a squad, that's stupidly good. 35 cultists is 150 points, but hey, they have FNP!

I can't make out the last few lines on the blurry pic; are the plague zombies still scoring units?

But what about fnp? The berserkers specials are similar to their gods mark/icon...

Believe the word is they lost FNP but can get it back with the purchose of the icon. they have fear instead. Which would probably be the same logic used for Thousand Sons. No blaze, but can buy the Icon to get it?

Reading over the entry, nothing says that they're not scoring units, therefore yes they are. motherofgod.jpeg

I can't get it without signing up.

Which requires a credit card, which I lack.

Okay, we get a 50-pt home objective babysitter. Not like they can do anything else.

No, that is not the word. Mark of Nurgle gives +1 T, but not FNP. This means Nurgle marked CSMs have T5, but plague marines have T5 and FNP, just as before.

Yep!
And once again Abaddon is a monster. The Talon of Horus is a Str x2 AP3 Melee Specialist Weapon, with Shred so you get to reroll failed to-wound rolls. Yuck. Drach'nyen is a Str+1 AP2 Daemon Specialist Weapon. At WS7 I6 with 4 attacks (+1 from two specialist weapons), he'll cut through everything and everyone.

Keep them in cover with the objective and they'll be annoyingly hard to dislodge for only 50 points.

So you're complaint is that a unit that's suppose to specialize at fighting hordes of light infantry isn't as good at fighting heavier MEQ infantry?-Geeze. In the context of the setting there should be more light infantry hordes than MEQs.

It's just that highly situational upgrades that you need to model on every model are annoying.

Any information on the chaos lord? Also do daemon weapons have special effects depending on the mark?

It's been fun but I'm going to stay away from the rumors and such until I get the book in my hands.

I see enough info as far as Tsons go to make me a super-happy camper.

Mastery Level 3 demon prince on foot (my magnus the red model) who can take artifacts and such?

YES PLEASE.

Later, fellas. I'll be in the batrep section ; )

Okay, here's my first hilarious idea for this codex:

Chaos Space Marines-75 (100) x6
Plasma Gun-15
Champion gets a single roll on the boon table-10

So that's 6 chances at getting a Daemon Prince! yeeeee

No 1
Glad marks are now per model cause it makes my termies, assualt marines & bikers 5 man squad so much worth it now! Yey! Happy bunny here.

No 2
Complete guesses here but I would not be supprised to see the next wave anounced on release day of the Codex and containing what is basically plastic box set versions from the DV box - ie new chosen, cultists & the Hellbrute. I aslo wouldn't be suprised to see a finecast vehicle upgrade set to reflect deamon possession.

6 chances for a 1:18 chance for a daemon prince when measured against the fact you get a barebones daemon prince and that you have as much chance being spawned... There is every reason to embrace the boon table but daemon prince shouldn't be the sole or even primary purpose.

I'm just going to take 12 units of 35 plague zombies and typhus.

I'm going to be taking noise marines. Str 8 ap 3 blast, no cover and causing pinning? Yes please! Whats that marines, you get no armour save or cover saves? What's that skirmishers, no jinx save for you?

The sad (aka awesome) part is that as long as Typhus is 200 points or less this is a legal army for 2k. Also you'd have 421 models to paint!

I doubt it. Everything for October is in WD, Nov at earliest.

Has anyone seen the summary for the weapons/units yet?

No new special characters in that pic. That's a bit disappointing.

Bah, my fantasy army is skaven, I can paint 421 models on a three day weekend. Might need another can of dip...

any one able to clean up the images? want to see what destroyer hive. from what i could tell typhus still has fnp, that is separate from the mark, so i am guessing they still have it.

Wonder what has a baleflamer. Something gets a hellhound flamer that is aap3

I think I regret preordering the Codex. At this rate, everything will be leaked, especially giving the exceptional 2 week waiting period...darn.

Also think I found some unfortunate fine print on the helldrake. If the vector strike counts as already firing a weapon in the following shooting phase I guess that means it can't flat out and leave combat airspace in the shooting phase after a vector strike.

Can anyone read what the leaked picture of typhus' page says?

What are your thoughts about Daemon Princes not having Eternal Warrior any more?
