Well, in support of chaos guard, we now have a Chaos Commissar and Chaos Ogryn!

Pics up on the Community site, and on the Blackstone fortress thread.

Now we just need a proper codex / index update for r&h worthy for the models.

Has anyone crunched the numbers and figured out the Primaris total points wise? How much are we looking at in the box?

think it was 700-800 points or there abouts.

Thanks. That and the dark imperium primaris and your set with a big part of an army.

yup. although you'd proably need to shave some points as you've got proably close to 600 points in HQs from those two boxes alone, what with 2 captains, 3 leuitenants, a Librarian and a ancient.

Ancients are Elites, but that doesn't really affect the point.

yeah I meant characters rather then HQs but yeah definatly. I'd be curious what the best mix of HQs for a mixed force of normal primaris/vanguard would be.

Same, I guess you can build different lists around different characters ( space wolves have plenty of those) so the extra HQ is ok. Taking HQ away you still get some serious chunk of an army with this box and DI.

Because some of us still care about the Imperium, you filthy heretic

I think that a full fledged traitors, heretics & renegades something or other is coming for this summer.

Sororitas vs Traitors would be a great boxed set.

but we all know it will be Marines vs something else...

Yeah, Sisters vs a bunch of Heretics seems like a really good choice for a box. Could even reuse the BSFsorcerers, traitor guards and beastmen for that release wave, too.

I’m so happy about the new servants of the abyss hqs
I can see a number of chaos armies taking them the 2x traitor guard and beastmen as a super cheap battalion with their armies.

Sisters are going to be end-of-2019. Rumors point to it. GW behavior points to it. Any other expectation is foolish hope.

There was some information, however, that said besides Sisters, there would be 3 other Codexes. I'd love for those to be World Eaters, Emperor's Children, and Traitor Guardsmen, but that's a bit too much Chaos for one year.

If sororitas vs Sisters happens, i dunno, that would be absolute amazing.

3 new codexes, or just 3 other releases? Because I'd honestly put money on SM and CSM being two of them.

I don't think they specified. I agree, I could see Space Marines and Chaos Marines being two of them as well.

However, I could also see GW putting the Vanguard and Daemonkin stuff into Vigilus part 2 and not having a Codex release at all. Why invalidate a past book when you can simply force players to bring EVEN MORE books to the game table!

Just think of the fun you could have with a Crimson Fists Space Marine army! Not only would you need the Codex, you'd also need Chapter Approved, the various FAQ's, January's White Dwarf, Vigilus Part 1 and Part 2, AND the Vanguard Marines Codex to play your army! Amazing!
Oh, you want to have even MORE fun by allying with another faction? Great! Just add in the two Imperium Indexes, the 8+ other Imperium Codexes, February and March's White Dwarfs, and all of THOSE FAQs too!

Remember when GW promised us they wouldn't be throwing tons of rulebooks at us? Man those were the times.

codex SM, Codex CSM codex sisters?

I totally understand how the "6 books to play one army" thing is a pain in the butt; but as a casual player it's been a non issue for me. I play 6 armies and don't own a single 8th ed codex. (Saves me hundreds of dollars, which I spend on models instead). Between online resources and battle scribe, I get my rules that way. And yeah I know, battle scribe gets things wrong, but in my play group, we kinda all just let it slide. I get that doesn't fly in competitive environment, and I'm not arguing that it should; it's just that for my group all the unit and points changes are pretty painless when its built in to our army builder. I feel like moving the rules to a living digital document would be the most revolutionary and intuitive thing GW could do, but I don't see it happening soon. It's a bummer. I would honestly be willing to pay a small subscription fee if they had such a living document, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

My first instinct was to be upset at you for not supporting the company and playing with half-correct rules out of Battlescribe, but A. battlescribe is updated pretty regularly and B. that's just me being salty because I did buy the books and not a single one is 100% accurate at this point thanks to FAQs and points changes.

I would volunteer for the job at GW to compile the online living document. You could pay me like 12 USD an hour to do it from home. Whenever an FAQ comes around, just pass it my way and I'd update the site for them. It's mostly copy-paste and then hitting 'save and upload' on wordpress.

Why doesn't GW do it? Because then they wouldn't be able to make 80% profit off of books that they can sell you every year.

They could easily release a battle box of sisters vs. R&H and not have a "full release" of Sisters until later in the year though. How long did DG wait for a full dex after DI dropped?

Sororitas vs World Eaters

Call the box : 'Faith and Fury

Give you that one for free GW.

There can only be one boxset: sanctuary 101 (terenas voiceover)

I agree, Sanctuary 101 or GTFO GW.

But we just had Forgebane, we probably don't need another Necron Battlebox so soon.

Chaos just got a little more bonkers!
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/13/chaos-space-marines-focus-the-lord-discordant/

That is awsome! This is quality chaos content!

I ... am so weirdly turned on right now

EDIT: A fitting Post #9000 for me

So basically, that's the coolest Chaos model I've ever seen and I'll be getting one even if it's worth my entire bank account

Wait, what?

After teasing the tide of uninspired mediocrity for shadowspear for so long, how are they tilting to something new and interesting?

Though I'll be honest, I mostly just want the rider.

That is everything I want out of chaos.

all pics for those who never visit WC page e.g. lazy












this big boy ticks off quite a few of the daemon engine pics like at least 4 of them

Can we get demon engine cavalry please, with those chain glaives.

Definite Dark Mechanicum vibe to that guy, with the cowl and all - like an evil Techmarine.
