Pretty cool, the apostle was already an auto-include in every melee heavy CSM list, now even more so. It will be interesting to see what the other prayers are. And best thing, I already have quite a number of nurgley friends to use as disciples...

Do you write for the GW Community website or something?

No I'm serious. I really don't unterstand the complaining this time and usually the apostle is my go to HQ after a Daemon Prince and a Sorcerer. Two Helbrutes accompanied by an Apostle worked fine with my Renegades, where I would run him to stay close. In fact being a HQ alone Made it easier to squeeze him in a list than the comparable Tallyman. Someone has to lead that additional spearhead detachment.

I wonder, would people be complaining if the Dark Apostle had to roll a 5 on a 2d6 to get the prayer off? :v

what are we looking at later these weeks? .... havocs and sorcerer to get revealed yet?

Complaining that obliterators are in a two pack would be like complaining that tacticals come in a box of 10 when you want to run 3 units of 5.

They gave you more models than what you absolutely need to run a minimum sized squad, they technically gave you two whole units. You wanting to run an extra squad or max out one without ever needing to buy more than one box is not a problem they should have to cater to.

Buy one, split another box if you HAVE to run three of them. Of all the things to gripe about...

we don't know yet if obliterators will remain with shadowspear for now ... but it's darn close

do we even know if the full KIT won't have 3 oblits?

I don't think we're actually getting a full Obliterator kit. Seems far more likely that what we received in Shadowspear is all we should expect for now.

Also beginning to wonder where that Sorcerer is, given the rumour engine backpack - perhaps it's in a BSF expansion.

so taking all into account seems like csm will be missing new chosen, possessed, & oblit/mutil multi-kits again

I suppose it's possiable we'll get a obliterator/mutilator mutipart kit,

Chosen depending on whats in the CSM box may even be unnesscary as a seperate kit.

Is no one aware of the disciples boosting the roll? Do we always just just to stupid conclusions?

Because obviously the disciples aren't going to cost extra, right? And there's no way they're upping the pts for the apostle himself due to his new rules. No way.

Likely no more than 5 points and that's baseless conjecture.

I'll tell you what is true though. NO ONE used him before. Now we have an undeniable spellcaster with no less than 10 possible spells.

It is the best outcome for the DA and CSM.

WE later, all i could find was this

Nothing new there then, bar the Khorne Daemon Stuff.

I'd also bet money that GW will say something like "And don't forget to pick up some Warp Talons or Raptors to take advantage of that +1 attack bonus!" in the article.

I'm also partly convinced Harkaan Worldender or whatever his name is was conceived to try and sell the excess number of Chaos Raptors boxes.

You know, I like how GW is constantly promoting FW junk, and they just turn back and bite hand that feeds them in petty jerk fit. Like, pretending Sanguinary Guard (only oh, the signature and best known unit of the IX Legion) and Azkaellon (only oh, their second in command, and possibly one of two HH era loyalists still mattering in 40K) don't exist to not let yucky plastics into their overpriced, shoddy made elitist club

More over it's a "if you don't want 2nd ed bezerkers here's an option" article.

Well, at least now we know why Khorne Bezerkers are so bezerk.

"They are chosen from the smallest, scrawniest members of the adeptus astartes from across the galaxy, those members of the chapter who passed the test to become a space marine, but only just...

with millenia to hone their napoleon complexes, these vicious murderers are the scourge of the galaxy..."

Please, those Berserkers are old enough to drink even in the US this year!

What do you all think about Abaddon's size in comparison to a Primaris/guardsman? He's wearing Termi armour, after all, and TDA should be way bigger than it is now. The Atramentar Malek in the Night Lords novel is described as close to three metres tall in TDA, so would Abby be a good start for a "true scale" Termi if you use use Primaris as a basis for "true scale" Marines? I'm building a small kill team around a BA Termi suffering from the Blak Rage and use Primaris to convert regular SM for his honour guard, so normal Termis are way too small to represen the main dude.

I am a little surprised we have seen absolutely nothing about the Noctilith Crown (stargate terrain piece) despite it going on preorder tomorrow. I'm not gonna buy it if I have no idea what it does!

Lord Executioner!


Also the World Eaters article is up.

Edit: Beat me to it in 58 seconds…


Not my favorite looking model but definitely not the worst one.

It's an 8E terrain piece. What it does is waste one of your three detachment slots in matched play.

I think I like him? It's nicely posed, but almost looks like an AoS/40k mashup conversion. A good one like, but a conversion all the same.

But....top left. New Terminator Armoured Chaos Lord?

It's kinda like the Phobos Librarian--I think it will grow on you.

It's the current one, just with slight reposing of the axe and combi-melta.

Wait, fortifications count towards the detachment limit??

Also re: Lord of executions: Cool model, stupid face. Hopefully, it's swappable as I have a skull helm Chaos Warrior head that'll be perfect for him.

I actually really like him, the fact he essentially has a powerfist with no -1 to hit and does bonus mortal wounds is nice. By no means an auto include for me or anything just a nice extra to sprinkle in.

That's the Lord Discordant.

Very hard to tell. That doesn't look like the current guy (despite us having seen the current model in the Night Lords article) but he doesn't quite look like a Terminator either. His pose kind of reminds me of the old metal Chaos Lord. Could it be a new non-Terminator Lord?

Apparently, it is the old Terminator Lord, it's just hard to tell because it's blurry and his pose.

May actually be Power Armour, now I look at it again. Intriguing!

Don't think it's the Lord Discordant, unless they're doing an on-foot version?
