Was flipping through my old C:C book to see if anything lined up with recent CSM rumors and I noticed that Ahriman used to be Mastery Level 4. Rumor has it that he will be 4 again in a few days.

I also notice that the Black Staff used to modify casting requirements. Could it be possible that in its new incarnation it will let Ahriman use powers as if they only costed 1 Warp Charge?

Does anyone else see anything new that reminds you of this crusty book from the mid-90s?

The general aesthetic of the new Chaos stuff reminds me a lot of RT era Chaos models, rather than the loyalists with spikes that have been the norm since 2nd ed.

Oh yes, the bolter guys in the chosen set too.. Mmm.

Hey SRM, you're on the IC forums right? Has Carl mentioned anything else about the codex? Perhaps?

What...? Do y'all remember the RT era models? I've got a couple I pulled off Ebay along with some chaos dreads and this crap has nothing to do with those models. No, this harkens back to the original raptors and those horrid bat wings, the same crap that's sitting on the Night Lords helmets... this is the Defiler all over again. Really, they need to break Chaos off from the SM mold and start bringing out something that divides the models AND ARMY from the SMurfs. I keep waiting for something that really makes Chaos it's own thing but it's just not going to happen.

I feel about Chaos (models and army list) the same way music critics feel about Sheryl Crow's career. I just keep waiting for the evolution...

Sadly its easier just to add stuff on already established models than coming up with something new.
I hirstly thought the DV csm models were a step in the right direction but I'm not sure about the new raptors
