In my view the wording means you can use the 'model' not the character Cypher as a generic Dark Angels Captain. Unless the upcoming rules say he can be used with the Dark Angels, you're stuck with using the model as a generic Dark Angels Captain OR as Cypher. In other words the 'Cypher model' has been officially fieldable while 'Cypher' hasn't.

"Depending on your interpretation of his background" makes it pretty damn clear that they're referring to the character Cypher himself when they say you can field him as a Dark Angels captain. Maybe your idea of his background might disallow him from being head of a Dark Angels(-ish) force, but the current website makes it absolutely clear with this explicit statement that others who interpret him another way can use him as such.

For those who didn't get the Interactive Edition, the Adeptus Stormwing just got updated. Units from Codex: Space Marines in the same army as a Stormwing can embark on the Stormraven, and the file confirms that none of the three flyers has a Chapter Tactic.

Unfortunately, the graphics in the new file are totally busted.

Assault Centurions are a powerful weapon in the armouries of the Adeptus Astartes, able to smash apart enemy fortifications and open the way for full-scale assaults. Combined with Ironclad Dreadnoughts, many Space Marine Chapters use them to form Centurion Siegebreaker Cohorts, ideal for cracking open stubborn enemy defences.

Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse – Centurion Siegebreaker Cohorts presents a new formation for your games of Apocalypse. The ideal counter to enemy strongpoints, the Centurion Siegebreaker Cohort is a righteous hammer with which to shatter your opponent’s fortifications.

Any hints as to what it does? I might buy it if I knew what it did (or is this like Congress... pass it and then find out what you bought?).

The formation consists of 2+ Centurion Assault Squads and 1+ Ironclad Dreadnought. All Centurions must be equipped with an omniscope. The formation itself comes with 2 special rules for the formation; Demolition Specialists and Seismic Devastation.

Demolition Specialists: While a sergeant is alive somewhere in this formation, re-roll armour penetration rolls, vs buildings, and can re-roll any glancing hits, but the second result must be accepted.

Seismic Devastation: If a building if the building suffers a partial collapse or worse from a close combat attack, those inside the building suffer d6 additional s6 hits that ignore cover.

A First Look: Dataslate Reclusiam Command Squad

The latest from Games Workshop digital is now up for download; Dataslate Reclusiam Command Squad for Space Marines. Like the other dataslates, this one is for regular play, but this one has something new to it; a point cost.


To use the Reclusiam Command Squad there is a small point cost added to the cost of the models. (its small and I wont post it, but its under 30). For the benefits of a formation I rather like this, and think it should be included for the extra benefits that some of these formations give.

For Codex: Space Marines
The Reclusiam Command Squad consists of a Chaplin, Razorback, and a Command Squad. When taken, you get two special powers, Crusader and Relentless Zeal.

Crusader allows you to roll one extra die when running and pick the highest, and adds d3 to your sweeping advance total.

Relentless Zeal is the big one, allowing the formation to re-roll misses in every round of close combat.

There are some restrictions as well with this formation, you must include a Company Champion, Apothecary, and a Company Standard.

Overall I like this unit, and can see its uses on the tabletop. I also think that paying an extra tax for these special rules is a good thing, along with its tighter restrictions, and I would not object to the Tau Firebase Support Cadre getting updated with a small point cost to tax the incredible benefits of its special rules.
