It is a good time to be a chaos player! Reeeaaaallly hoping this leads to a full traitor guard release, seems more likely now than ever before.

Plus GW is literally about to release a new multipart plastic CSM squad, which surely every Chaos player already has plenty of already...?

These updates are also targeted at new players- I've held off on starting Chaos and Eldar armies entirely because of the ancient kits composing most of the model lines! I am sure I am not alone in this.


That's been the same issue for me. I'm still on the fence at the moment about the CSM stuff because I just started Titanicus in February and Stormcast Eternals last November. But, I would say I will do it eventually.

I don’t think a Facebook Link with no information in the post counts as Ninja’d.
At least yours said details of what’s in it.

I’m guessing WHC are now posting up anyway..

Warhammer Community wrote:Commissars and Ogryns are some of the most intimidating warriors of the Astra Militarum. Both are rightly respected and feared by other soldiers in the Guard for wildly different reasons – the former for their iron discipline and utter fearlessness and the latter for their brute strength and dogged, simple faith in the Emperor. And when they turn traitor… well…

Traitor Command is a new adventure pack for Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress that sees you descend into darkness to crush a growing Chaos threat. You’ll face terrifying new hostiles with the Traitor Commissar and Chaos Ogryn, find strange and powerful new gear, and forge alliances with unlikely friends in Precipice…

Like The Dreaded Ambull, Traitor Command can be tackled as an expedition in its own right or added to your main set to add even more challenge to your other quests. For you Chaos fans out there, both the Traitor Commissar and Chaos Ogryn will be receiving datasheets for adding them to your Warhammer 40,000 army.

Follow the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page for more news and announcements on Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress.

So far, this has only convinced me that my wallet is safe! They've released nothing for me to take interest in. I guess it's good that way; I'm only opening my wallet for new Slaanesh models, actual new Khorne units, Chaos Primarchs...and I think that's it. Maybe a compelling boardgame.

Convince me, GW. Convince me to give you $$$.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

How To Sell New Plastic Aspect Warriors.

By Mad Doc Grotsnik. Aged 38 and 10/12th.

Step 1. Release plastic Aspect Warriors.

Step 2. Potentially include new weapons for each Aspect (for instance, the Shuriken Pistols aren’t, so far as I’m aware, Ritual Weapons tied to the Aspect). This introduces new options. This means Existing Eldar Players will likely invest as well.

Please note that Step 2. is entirely optional.


I always thought that new plastic warriors would be perfect to do a multi kit, you get 5 Aspects, and a 6th model that can be built as an Exarch OR as the Phoenix lord.

All this BSF stuff has to be a prelude to expanded traitor guard in the CSM codex or maybe even their own (non-forgeworld) codex.

Because commissars are like GK: icons of faith and loyalty. Hell, chaos GK would make more sense, as they're all psykers toying with forces man was not meant to know.

small preview compared with yesterday's

so that within 4 hours, I do not expect it to be more than the band of kharadrons.

And tomorrow full chaos marines preview

Commisars are more icons of fear, irrational devotion and an absurd waste of human life than avatars of faith and loyalty or other positive ideas.


Also, yeah... I suppose they are waiting for the end to reveal the big thing but waiting for this was...

Easy enough to say that it was a guardsmen who killed the commissar and took his outfit.
Or he just found a commissars outfit on the ground.
(I've spent a lot of time coming up with various fluffy reasons to include a chaos commissar in a lost and the damned list)

And there are black library stories about commissars falling to chaos. I'd mention the title, but it would be a HUGE spoiler.

Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable within the fiction that the Commissar wouldn't end up dead, given their tendency to shoot suspected heretics first. I mean, it's easy to imagine some demagogue or traitor taking one's coat, but one actually turning seems really improbable. But, like, in what circumstance would one be exposed to heretical stuff and not just start a fight? They're not Inquisitors or someone who has the operational authority or flexibility to do something else...

Plenty of opportunities I'd say. Options include a weak gellar field, whispering artifacts, corrupt schola progenium teacher, loss of faith after a brutal experience etc. Most are immune but they're not infallible

It could be as simple as the commissar believed what he was doing was right and kept doing it, eventually leading to corruption

To be honest I'm surprised that Commisars don't fall to Khorne more often than not. Specially because Khorne is the easiest god to fall into in warhammer. You only need to cause violence. And each time you enjoy it a little more, until you are just lost to the carnage.
