Godless, can you confirm that with any documentation or pictures? Sorry i just dont want to get my hopes up because 4 special sounds real nice. Four plasma sounds sexy with bolters, have there been any leaked pictures of chosen codex entries? I have checked this thread fairly religiously, so I would be happily surprised if I missed it

Good idea! I need a victim... (ahem... opponent) though. Abaddon leading a true Annihilation Force to kick off the new age of Chaos would be epic!

I was digging through all my old boxes and found Doomrider (yeah cocaine!!!) then I thought... FNP bikers! So many fun new/old options to bust out again.

A guy on Warseer has a scan of the army list section of the book. And then there's the White Dwarf tiny scan but the former is obviously more convincing.

I've got a 10k game coming up. me with iron Warriors (daemon egnines, dragon and Warpsmith), 1 team mate with Emps Kids (noise marines & daemon allies) and another with an all khorne army. - fighting a Blood Angels/Ultramarines mix. Can't wait.

link, or pm me with link?

No can do, I no longer have access to the site. Besides, the guy didn't post the scan, he is just answering questions.

Up to 4 Chosen can take a special weapon or close combat weapon.

You mean four special close combat weapons, right? They presumably all have normal CCWs already. And the size of the squad won't matter, it's always four?

Take lots of pictures, would love to see it.

The Book of Mormons: Chaos Edition

No, it was on warseer. But basically all of his rumours have filtered through here and he's stopped answering questions.

Guy was called jimbo

Has anyone realised that we are not gonna get any chosen plastic box set? because the pictures in the book is all the normal DV chosen so that means they don't have it planned for ages to come and if thats true we are not gonna get the cultists either for a long time.

What makes you think they would include photos of second/later wave models in the rulebook?

jimbo answered helldrake questions I asked... What came of it was this:

He confirmed that the helldrake was 170 points and did not have vector dancer.

Please write a battle report!!!

So we can take up to 4 Specials and a Heavy in our Chosen squads? What about power weapons, etc?

If I can take a squad of 10 Chosen with Mark of Khorne and Icon of Rage then equip them with Power Swords/Axes as needed... dang... that's 50 attacks on the charge... rerolling the distance... (hatred for rerolls on 80 percent of armies)

A few squads of those guys could make a mess of any battle line. Mix and match in some Melta for bunker busting, pump them up with some Biomancy... it starts getting crazy fast but probably very costly (points wise).

The hardest part will be fitting all the new toys into a list... and which one to try first!

I think Arhiman is gonna be an auto include now because 1. He is awesomesauce! and 2. He has the warlord trait to infiltrate d3 units. That is so huge! Imagine rolling up three 20 man units of Berzerkers to just 18.00001" away! I'd say 12" but hiding 20 guys could get silly.

And people wonder why half the rumour mongers on the net stopped posting stuff. Why bother if people are going to be dicks about it after all.

BTW, adding words I never said only makes you look even worse; I never said only I can see it, I said I can't see it, I am blocked from the site.

But thanks again for being so nice.

Hahaha oh man. Just imagine the full slow builds. I'd definitely take a squad of 20 Berzerkers just to deploy 18" away.

Better yet, Infiltrate your Maulerfiends! Use the oval trick that you talked about before, and then you're less than 18" away. Then you move 12" in the movement phase and then assault some sorry unit.

OT: Also I lol'd @ godless getting IP banned from warseer for the reason in his sig. If that's true that's pretty sad on their part.

The Infiltrate Warlord Trait only works on Infantry unfortunately.

And yeah, it is funny, though I might add not sad on the site's part, as it was only one mod in particular who seems to like throwing his weight around, the rest of the staff are bang on. A guy I regularly do painting for has been banned for stupid reasons by the same guy. But to be honest, I couldn't care less as I only really used that site for rumours anyway, and they tend to get around. So no big loss, but one big laugh as you said vlad.

Juice for the Juice Throne. Okay yeah I like this guys style, but if only we had more players like him.

I’m trying… you know the hobby can be a fantastic thing and bring people from all walks of life together…. But sometimes you gotta see through the marketing madness and just enjoy the game.
I remember when you couldn’t even talk about casting your own bits…because someone was scared G.W. would freak out on their forums…
I just can’t wait to build this Plague marine army… I wondering if bringing Nurgle daemon allies would be good or not and if Epidemis would work for plague marines or vice versa…
I think the best thing G.W. is release upgrade sprues for the main troop box for each Cult. Makem’ a direct sale item and watch the full army orders roll in with no discounts… but that’s just wish listing.

Wait if Chosen are taking 4 what makes the Havoks any different just heavy weapons instead…but I thought Havoks could bring 4 Special too… man if that’s the case …lord… 2 chosen, 2 havoks watch the death happen…

But will mark of nurgle get FNP or only plague marines? And if so will marking Bikes confer a FNP bonus… if that the case I’m about to make a biker unit…. Buncha fat bloated puss bags… looking like old burnt out bikers going to Sturgis . that’d be cool.

He’s talking About Jimbo 1701… not shenanigans… But is you want shenanigans I can Show a true Night lords Bat wing. Either way I think Jimbo is straight on the money and over the years on warseer has done this same thing close to release time… he’s gotta inside guy I guess.

Agreed… a lot of random naysayers talking out their ass… would discourage me too…

Banned from warseer for Math? Did you have a track record or something crazy or is some Mod just bloodthirsty?

would be even better if you could assault turn 1 after infiltrating. but you cant. better deploy some units that actually cause damage with shooting or something like that... can dish out pain aswell

I was very vocal, I'm a hothead and can't deny that, but only got two red cards, one of which was for the math comment. The other was because I said something is gay awhile, which is actually against their rules, so fair enough on that front. Like I said, the guy who gave me the thing for the math is bit bloodthirsty, and plenty of people have had problems with him. I won't name names, but there are a few signiatures floating around with his name in them, and they aren't pleasant.

Anyway, can we stop talking about this, I'm starting to feel whiny, and my anti-whininess is what makes me vocal half the time

Rumours for the rumour God (and juice apparently )

Thank you very much for trying to make sense of all of this and show us what is what according to what you have seen/witnessed.

Think you quoted the wrong post, but I get what you are saying. No worries, though I can't take credit, I was just passing along something I was told by another poster.

Icon of Slaanesh gives FNP

I think in one of the pictures there was the MoN and it was still only +1T It is only Plague marines and other models marked as having FnP like this edition of the codex. But as it is I have been having a lot of fun with Nurgle Bikers and Epedimus as an ally

Don't forget models with the Icon of Ecess: Mark of Slaanesh Only: Unit gains Feel no Pain

Wow, that's quite an overreaction don't ya think? Nothing in his post was inflamitory, he simply stated the rumor seemed off and made an attempt at a witty remark with mormon reference. I hardly see a reason to call the guy a dick.... Do you believe everything YOU read on the interwebs? Have you never been skeptical of a rumor you read?

They're making a biker upgrade sprue? Why? Are terminators totally being pushed under the rug?

Anyway....

for those who asked about Raffa and his nurgle works I came across this post on Massive Voodoo

http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2010/11/step-by-step-nurgle-death-guard.html

this breacks it down... but to me this model is a little more "sloppy" than the other... I prefer the Look the other one has just a little less cluttered and messy.
