Or sold one of his Blackstone fortresses to the IW for one or 2?


Edit: also even his cultists do this better due to the +1 CP.

I imagine this to be rather nasty tbf, if it is indeed not limited, a Battalion can do this 2 x, with a 20 man block and it's equipment, that is 260 pts each time recycled and teleported.

Looking at Abaddon's pictures on the GW site... is it me or does his torso look really flat and smallish


Especially seeing him next to Guilliman. Hopefully having a 360 view will help because right now I can't unsee him as a spikey stick man.

What speaks against this, the cheapest maximum value battalion for these shenanigans costs 500 pts.

Nothing stopping you there imo to run one blob.

What's UP with Abaddon lacking a 360 view. Did they not paint his back or scrap off the paintjob when attaching the cloak or what?!

I dunno, I'm still not buying it. Chaos has a LOT of other things you can do with those CP, and part of why Tide of Traitors worked in your favor was that at the time cultists were harder to kill than their points cost - forcing your opponent to overkill the unit so they won't have to deal with it again next turn was a win for you. CSM don't really have that luxury.

In other news, the Host Raptorial shockingly has some uses with its warlord trait. I think it's clearly way better for Warp Talons than it is for Raptors, which is a bit weird but eh.

Allegedly yes, which is why people are thinking that shadowspear is probably correct. Also because they got a huge buff in stat line and abilities, and the unit wasn’t bad before. So having them be the same price for much better would be a little bit surprising.

But also I want that to happen because I want 9 of those new dudes, but at 115 per model it is not worth IMO

So one thing I'm curious about... I haven't seen anyone mention anything about the Purge, Brazen Beasts, Scourged, and Flawless Host having keyword restrictions. Logically they should be tied to their respective deities in the same way World Eaters must be <Khorne>, but not making any specific restrictions means that you can use their rules to represent a variety of renegade chapters, which is nice.

Apologies for the awful formatting....


I was the original writer of this. Typed it up really quickly this morning, hence the poor formatting. By the time I got it all written I couldnt face going over it all again lol. Missed out a few things too but I got most of it....


Thanks for writing this up! Questions if you know:
- Have terminators indeed dropped in points?
- How much are the new rotor cannon things?


Terminators have only dropped a bit because you can give them chainaxes and not the standard power weps/power fists.
From what I remember hearing, the new rotor cannons are about the same cost as a missile launcher I think.
