Benefits: Reroll Warlord trait and generates 1 Blood point every turn. When spending blood points you can for free get another bonus with less value than the first one.


This with the Sword is kind of nuts? Do they mean if you spend the points you get another one on that chart for free?

Considering the wording, it's a summary, and there's probably a lot more to the rule that will clarify when we have it in our hands.

Hah.... e-mail promoting all this had "White Dwarf: New blood-drenched issue!"

Can't wait for the new "White Dwarf: New Sex-drenched issue!" when it's Slaanesh's turn.

Unless with the move away from Finecast, they're dropping support for named characters.

Or maybe he'll be part of a Dataslate when new Khorne Berzerkers drop that you can just tack on.

I just checked the web store and he's "temporarily out of stock"

New kharn model? Completely dropped? Coincidence?

I at least hope he's in it at the very least.

Yeah maybe it means that you can't summon, but still that's a crazy rule.

It's up for Pre Order on the Gamesworkshop website.

If he was in it, even as out stock he should be on the Khorne Daemonkin army section as an option which he isn't.

The one that lets you gain a Blood Point a turn, reroll Warlord Trait , and when you spend the Blood Points gain a free special ability.

That's really crazy good.

If true it those formations show a lack of understanding of how hard it can be to get some units into melee.

After they gave run+charge to Harlequins that it might herald a change in design of melee centric builds.

The Bikes and Hounds one looks good (As they are fast melee threats)

It could be people bought it with the new codex.

Well he's on the cover of the limited edition slipcase so that gives me hope.

It would not surprise me that Kharn is not in the codex.

Kharns still there, just seen him on the website.

Sure, for CSM. Not Daemonkin. But they've been updating/shifting things around, so maybe he'll show up after all.

Was it mentioned if the daemon rewards were different in the khorne codex?

Unknown from Codex leaks/rumors at this point, but White Dwarf makes it appear that way. Although, they were using the Daemons codex and discussing the use of Bloodthirsters in a Daemons codex, so it's still up in the air.

hopefully characters can have access to more than 1 relic. A daemon prince can skip out on the 3+ armor upgrade and take the relic that includes that as one example....if he's even allowed to take it

QFT. Im still....really worried about "the big boys" making it into hth. I'll hold out for the full rules pack but....seems like a Tyranid.....shoot, thne "do someat in hth maybe"?

I assume we will need both previous Chaos books to use this one? It would be nice to have it as a complete package, just Khorne stuff. But that's not GW's MO :(

No, this Codex will work standalone. You won't need the other books to play this one.

Even for GW that would be silly. Having to juggle three books to play one army would be ridiculous.

If they brought out a book for each of the Chaos Gods, and then fixed the general Chaos Codex (actually, other way around), I could live with the lack of specific Legion rules.

....Me too.

I still can't understand why they don't go back to the old realms of chaos style books for chaos.

If kharne is dropped, it would be strange to keep skulltaker.
And if skulltaker is dropped, it would be strange to call the limited edition "skulltaker edition".
So, I suppose kharne is in there.

Well, Skarbrand was exiled by Khorne and Kharn is hanging with Abaddon's 13th Crusade in 40K.

Neither would make much sense in a mono-Khorne army in 40K background-wise.

Hmm, I doubt GW would make any new models for Abaddon or Kharn...unless they'll be riding some sort of Santa related vehicle...

Man, kharn on a throne of blood or juggernaut would be kinda cool

Nah. Kharn would still be on foot- just more skulls and maybe a bigger helmet decoration with more wildly swinging chains on his axe arm.

I would be totally up for Kharn the Betrayer in a chariot pulled by six juggernauts, plowing through friend and foe alike.

Anyhow: The replacement mechanism for Bloodthirsters is kinda important. If it's a deep strike, you've tossed away a character for a two turn charge delay with plenty of time to gun it down.

6? The number of Slaanesh? Bloodsphemy!

I preordered the collectors codex, and the Khorne Daemonkin Warband set.

Has anyone come up with a rough estimate, base points, of this box set? With the current codex? Just curious.
