Chaos itself has existed in the setting as long as sentient beings have drawn breath, but for Chaos Space Marines we have to look instead to three select individuals: the Emperor, Warmaster Horus Lupercal, and Lorgar, Primarch of the Word Bearers legion.Venomcrawlers got a boost to their shooting and downgrade to their melee, doubling their number of shots but losing Strength and AP on it’s claws. Premium kit 1 comes alongside issue 15, and subsequent kits with issues 33, 51 and 69 respectively. We’re working on a new strategy guide for you, but in the meantime here’s a summary ofyour core options for Chaos Space Marines in 10th edition.

As a secondary army rule, your army can include Khorne Berzerkers, Plague Marines, or Rubric Marines from their relevant codexes. These can bring different things to the table, though there are weird issues with each of them in terms of how they combo with Chaos Space Marines, and none of them get Dark Pacts. Let’s look at each option:However, how much you actually save, and how essential the miniatures included in the boxes are to your army, varies from box to box. This book used to have crucial rules for the Chaos Legions, but as of the release of the Codex, it’s no longer valid. You can basically skip or ignore it for the purposes of Chaos Space Marines. The one set of rules in it that might still be legal however are the rules for Be’lakor and his army of renown, but it’s likely those rules will no longer be valid after the release of Codex: Chaos Daemons. Worst of all, the flesh-change had returned, and Magnus, now merged with a daemon, became both more, and less, than he had been. It was left to his disciple, Ahzek Ahriman, to find a cure for the rapidly dwindling Thousand Sons. His answer was The Rubric: a spell that intended to bring only a cure – but which instead brought death to every marine afflicted by the flesh-change, turning them to dust, and leaving their spirits to haunt their armours as semi-living automatons.

Eternal Hate (1CP) will help shore up melee matchups. Roll a d6 each time a model in your unit dies during that Fight phase; on a 4+ (3+ for Khorne units), that model will fight before being removed. A Lord Of Skulls fighting on death on a 3+ is hilarious. The Shadowspear box continues the story of the Vigilus Campaign, the current Warhammer 40K Narrative that Games Workshop are running. Shadowspear includes a campaign booklet that details the ongoing story and details of the Nemendghast campaign of which Shadowspear is part of. The booklet includes a mini-campaign of 6 linked missions that can be played with your own forces, or the Historical Forces using the two armies in the box. The Campaign booklet also includes an Open Play mission and some narrative hooks for other missions. But the other 8 are standard Chaos Space Marines? it;s hard to tell at such low resoltion. This could be a photo error when they grouped the models. Let’s jump into some particular goals you might have, and how I’d recommend building in the next section. This came to a head at the infamous Council of Nikaea, where psychic powers were banned by Imperial Edict – no Space Marine could ever again use psychic powers, or they would face punishment by the Emperor Himself.

Fellgor Beastmen , fresh from the Gallowfall Kill Team box, are an intriguing choice for CSM players. Their damage output and durability isn’t impressive, but with Scouts 6” and +2” to their charge rolls when charging units on objective, they have some utility. Today, we’re looking at a few examples of how you can add to these units to help turn your set into a thematic Battalion Detachment ready to join your wider collection or engage in larger battles as an army in its own right. First up, it’s the mighty Angels of Death… Start Collecting! Vanguard Space Marines On the tabletop, the Thousand Sons share many similarities with normal Chaos Space Marines – indeed, there’s much crossover in terms of the models available to them – but they remain unique enough to warrant their own rules and Codex.

So, that’s a fairly solid saving for these models. i suppose it depends how hngry you are for more? As you saw in the video both kits were indeed the full sprues – Games Workshop did NOT cut any corners either. This was a pleasant surprise for both of us. I was also surprised by the transfer sheets – you actually get two of them. I know not everyone uses transfers (because they can be a pain) but it was nice to see Games Workshop had enough sheets to support any Chaos Marine Army you wanted to make. Known for their stealth tactics and use of Cultist forces seeded and outfitted ahead of their arrival, Alpha Legion work well with most units thanks to being more difficult to hit from a distance, helping them close the gaps. The rules for the Alpha Legion tend to favor versatility and subterfuge, and they have several rules that can apply to Cultists by virtue of just being INFANTRY-keyworded, though you may find they don’t necessarily want to run a ton of cultists. We are a small team of Warhammer Enthusiasts and miniature collectors, hoping to support and further promote the hobby.

Thousand Sons Codex

A hasty bit of rethinking and retooling, along with some new lore, saw the idea of a schism in the Imperium being born. This allowed the box to contain two sets of human-style titans, with one set belonging to the traitorous forces of Horus and his heresy. It’s hard to argue that this box doesn’t accomplish the goal of being a good entry point for CSM. Could the box have been constructed with different options and met the same goal? Sure! Here at BoLS we did some brain storming. We don’t have an issue with the troops or the HQ. So it was clearly the Helbrute that people had issues with. So we actually made a list of other models and likely reasons why those models probably weren’t chosen:
