The Black Legion leaning into the possession angle would fit with there old fluff. And being generally jacked up on warp stuff is a decent justification for a scale adjustment.

I'm not convinced they could handle making Possessed ever worth taking, as 3 editions of rules have been totally unplayable.

Good models sell but good models with great rules sell even more.

They're not gonna be Possessed as you know it, more like possession powered Big Marines.

So just as bad as current possessed but with awful Cawl level fluff to justify the slightly better (but doesnt matter in current edition of 40k: Mortal Wounds) stats?

If it is even Obliterators in the art, I don’t think we’d see new models anyways for them necessarily.
But I think it is more likely possessed with how the tease is headed.

Ooh, exciting times. I really hope CSM finally get the big clear-up release they deserve, rejuvenate some of those horrible ancient kits and spruce up the line.

My Chaos Chosen are lonely

Of course, we will probably get some random new units and a token replacement, but fingers crossed anyway...

I would skwee over new Obliterators. I'm actually holding off on converting some out of hope. An obliterator character to lead my obliterators would be even better. Or even just an artifact to make a chaos lord one.

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.

I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games.

I've always wanted to like Obliterators- the fluff is cool, and the rules are neat, and they are not just spiky Space Marines. But the models, oh the models... those have always put me off.

The "tick" has a skull on the left-hand side (across from the character's staff) which looks an awful lot like one of the Rumour Engine pics from a few months ago. The one with a flaming skull within a spiked halo.

until they give possessed the same rules as gal vorbak, they will always be trash lol, so this new fella if he buffs them, well its like haarkom buffing raptors, a polished turd is still a turd.

They've already made new big heretics without making them Primaris. I doubt "mini" heretics are going anyway.

I don't really think there's anything wrong with possessed. It's just no one wants to commit to melee in that way and they'd rather pick up berzerkers.

Similar, but seems to have some distinct differences.

They're not missing a lot of the rules Gal Vorbak have now though?

Pumped that CSM get some new stuff, even though I don't collect them. If GW refreshes this line then we don't don't have that many more that need a big refresh to be at an acceptable standard IMO.

Btw, does the chaos tick even have any ranged weapons? I think it has some sort of blade in the front (?) but can't be sure if I make out any armaments on the sides.. The legs look pretty similar to a dunecrawler though so I hope this means we get some dark mechanicum stuff woven into the release.

We don't even know if the Chaos Tick exists (although given no model = no rule & no artwork it's a good bet), so it's too early to speculate what it actually is.
