Hi, I just put the link here:
http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/12/chaos-marine-rumors-mega-dump.html
As usual with BOLS, it is not very reliable, maybe I shouldn't post it...

Any chance of a copy and paste for those of us who do not want to sully our browsers with BOLS?

Of course, sir, just let me go to my pc^^

Here it is:

From the notes of a friend who is close to the process and has seen the new codex. It was in a secure environment, so no pics, sorry:
179 pages, 7 New Kits judging from the photos
New Chaos Lord/Sorcerer in Power Armour
Plague Wardens/Corvidae Sorcerer Coven
Blissriders
Blood Brethren/Khorne Berzerkers
New Obliterators/Mutilators
New Havocs/Chosen
New Units:
Plague Wardens – look like plague marine terminators on centurion bases. Armed with either Heavy Bolters with Fleshbane Ammo or Heavy Flamers. CCWs are Deathsycthes (Power Axes with Two Handed and Rampage). Otherwise like Plague Marine Terminators but with two Wounds. Elites.
Corvidae Sorcerer Coven – Brotherhood of Sorcerers Terminators with lots of Thousand Sons iconography. They roll on the Divination, Daemonology and Tzeentch Powers (which are a combo of witchfires and mutations), and have a Mastery Level depending on their unit size (+1 per 3 models). Also have Inferno Bolts on their Combi-Bolters plus Force Weapons. Can take Combi-Weapons. Elites.
Blissriders – Noise Marines on Steeds of Slaanesh. Kinda like Thunderwolves but not as much of a rock. Very fighty with above average WS, A, and two Wounds. Armed with Power Weapons or Power Whips and Doom Sirens. Outflank and Acute Senses. Elites.
Blood Brethren – Khorne Berzerker Champions with Fleshmetal and a variety of unique Power Weapons (like Chosen but with higher WS). Seems similar to Honor Guard from Space Marines. They can exchange their Bolt Pistol for a Plasma Pistol, Hand Flamer, or Inferno Pistol at cost. Elites.

The Champions of Chaos rule has been reworked a bit. You still must accept/issue challenges, but the Boon Table has changed to be based on a 2D6.
2. Spawndom – pass a leadership check or become a Chaos Spawn
3. Adamantine Fists – model gains the Smash rule until the end of the players next turn
4. Fluid Strikes – model rerolls failed rolls to Hit until the end of the players next turn
5. Flurry of Blades – model gains +D3 attacks until the end of the players next turn
6. Diamond Skin – model gains +1 Toughness until the end of the players next turn
7. Unworthy Offering – Nothing
8. Daemonic Resurgence – model gains +1 Strength until the end of the players next turn
9. Rapid Regeneration – model gains Feel No Pain (4+) until end of players next turn
10. Cosmic Fate – model rerolls failed saving throws until end of players next turn
11. Viscerial Blows – model gains the Fleshbane rule until the end of the players next turn
12. Dark Apotheosis – pass a leadership check to become a Daemon Prince

Notable Codex Changes: (not comprehensive)
Numerous point cost adjustments. Chaos Vindicators, Chaos Predators, and Helbrutes can be taken in units of 1-3 with similar benefits to the loyalist versions. Helbrutes have their attacks characteristic normalized with Vanilla Marines, and in full units of 3 gain the Deep Strike rule and go into a rage every turn (similar to the Mayhem Pack in the dataslate). Maulerfiends and Forgefiends can also be taken in units of 1-3 and gain +1 WS and +1 BS respectively at full size. Mutilators are now Heavy Support.
Marks of Chaos are broadly the same apart from cost changes, but Mark of Tzeentch now gives a +5 Invulnerable save and three of them have the following additional benefits:
*** Psykers with the Mark of Nurgle, Mark of Slaanesh, or Mark of Tzeentch may roll up to half their powers on their respective table, and manifest warp charge for powers on that table on a 3+.

Apart from the models the rules have been adjusted considerably. All Chaos Marines (Chosen, Possessed, Raptors, Havocs, Oblids, etc), Helbrutes and Daemon Princes (not Chaos Spawn and Cultists) now have the Chaos Allegiance rule. Each unit individually picks an allegiance, so unlike Chapter Tactics your army can have units with many different allegiances in the same detachment. The only restrictions are that you must have one unit of Troops with the same allegiance as your Warlord (Formations excepted) and both units lose all benefits if you join another unit without the same allegiance.

WOW – That’s a LOT to dig through. Have the Chaos Marine Player’s Prayers been answered? If these turn out to be true – it’s a good start. But again – these are rumors so take them with a pinch mound MINE of salt.
It may have been the Summer of Sigmar – But the Winter belongs to CHAOS!

BOLS is a big dump, all right.

Thank you kind sir.

No legion rules?

CSM will never get legion rules.

edit- Also, taking a look at these rumors. LOL! No subtlety to these lies at all. 7 new kits? 4 new units? Why do people even bother making up these lies? Like, someone LITERALLY sat there and made a conscious decision to make up a bunch of gak and post it as a rumor on a website.

Chaos allegiances rules look like legion rules to me, doesn't it ?

If true this shows some crappy GW nomenclature again. Cotta squeeze the word "Blood" into the new Khorne unit's name somewhere.

Not really.

I keep hearing this is fake. Which is disappointing.

I don't believe a word about those Plague Terminators. I'm calling shenanigans.

I've also heard its fake but seen no source. A commenter mentioned this was all posted here earlier at some point and taken down. IE proven fake but I wasn't here to see if it did happen.

Pics or it ain't real.

As the saying goes: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The reason it's probably fake is because statistically speaking uncredited BOLS rumours usually are..

Statistically speaking, posters here on Dakka who make off the cuff jokes have a better accuracy than uncredited BoLS rumors.

In the spirit of my statement, I'm going to do so and we'll see if it comes true:

The Deathwatch versus Tyranids game will feature a NEW blister packed Space Marine Captain with no weapon options but will have a really swishy cloak. He'll also have one shoulderpad as Deathwatch-ified Crux Terminatus and the other as blank. Nothing about him will tie to any one Chapter, but he will be described in the fluff for the game as being an Iron Hands Captain.

That's my contribution to the cause.

Far too detailed to be true. Unless the guy has a photographic memory.

I eagerly wait to see just how accurate this is. Something's telling me your accuracy rating is going to be 5x that of what see see from BOLS.

whether real or not, someone's put a lot of effort in to this.
Which is why I fear they aren't true. Too much specific information.
:( wish it was true.

So we've come full circle then. Dakka (original thread deleted, I wonder why ) -> Warseer -> BoLS -> Dakka again.

I am afraid this is all untrue.

The biggest thing I really want to see & hope for *IF* Chaos ever gets another release, is for a proper 7th ed update to both our basic Chaos Marine kit, and Terminator kit. Plus an actual plastic kit for both Havocs/Chosen, (easy combo kit possibilities here), and Oblit/Mutilator combo kit.

I can wait on re-done Cult troop kits honestly, as we desperately need our basic bread & butter kits, (including both the Rhino and especially the Land Raider), to get 100% re-do's, as that's the one and only way we'll ever see new special/heavy weapon options/upgrades & unique toys of our own.

@Sad Panada: is there at least any indication that there's something on tap within the next year for 40k Chaos? Hell, at this point, I'd at least be happy & super giddy if we get the plastic Lord of Change for Daemons at this rate.

If you don't want to say anything publicly, I can keep secrets.

I do at least enjoy watching these rumors pop up here and just get butchered immediately. There's some fun in gaking on those feeling the need to lie on the internet for clicks.

I was told 7th Ed. Guard are essentially done with Mont'ka. Please don't shoot the messenger.

Other armies might get a similar treatment.

fething son of a bitch, getting my Hopes up...
