Yeah. The Chaos Boon specifically sais that the models are free even in Matched Play. You are incorrect about this, Kirasu.

The Chaos Boon stratagem says at the bottom that replacing the slain model with either a spawn or a prince doesn't cost reinforcement points.

I disagree. Chaos players overall on dakka are consistently the most half glass empty group despite consistently getting new models and updates in 6th/7th. There are big upsides (Legion rules finally after over a decade! not sure if this is new but in 5th they got generic demons and now have proper cult specific demons!) but a slew of new model releases isn't one of them. That said... there are at least new plague marine models as well as more new plague stuff coming soon that we know of.



If you don't play the right cult most of your models are old. The rules in 8th seem to be lesser copys of SM in many cases and CSM were old as dirt codexs that got stuff at the tail end of 7th. Many chaos miss the days of being a top army

Anyone else notice that the aspiring sorc for rubrics no longer has a cost listed? If rubrics start paying the same for the sorc as every other member of the squad, it'd be a 15 point discount.

Between this and the point breaks on noise and plague marine (plus new options for the latter) things are looking fairly good for cult units overall.

Did GW even need to tell us that Fabulous Bill wanted to do experimentation with primaris marines?

In other new, Urien Rakarth of the prophets of Flesh coven would ALSO like to express his interest in primaris subjects for his own set of experiments... lol

Still no cost for Exalted Champion though, wonder if he'll be the same or more expensive than the Leuitenents...

Ooo goody. I think I'll hold off then. I like the idea of a Nurgle footslogging horde army with plague marines, hordes of pox walkers, Forgeworld Renegade Cultists and a handful of tanks. Are footslogging Nurgle armies fun in the new edition with their resilience?

I'd still rather have had Plague Marines stay at the same cost and get a Pistol and extra attack. Still mildly butthurt about it.

I'd be willing to say that TS are one of the 10 being rushed out before the end of the year. No models, simple background reprint of the stuff that came out last year, minor update on their doings during the last century.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Didn't see that quick flash the first time I watched that, thanks. Also, it's 70pts not 79pts.

No change. So 19 pts for a NM with a sonic plaster. The Blastmaster dropped 8 pts though. Its cheaper than a ML/lascannon now.

I've had mixed results, but my overall opinion is, they still aren't quite resilient enough to foot slog, which is unfortunate as their fluff is all about marching armies of marines behind hordes of pox walkers. But maybe with the points reductions, we may also see some changes in the Pox Walker points costs, to be able to take more of them. The more of them we can have the better, as they generally grab attention away from the marines. It's also a lot more viable to footslog them using the Blightbringer, as he acts (to a certain extent) like a transport for everyone within an aura.

We may also get some nifty stratagems, psykic powers and/or abilities that revolve around helping them move up the table with some more defence or speed when our full codex drops
