About this deal

So how do you want to load these guys out? Well you’ve got a few options, though you’re still probably only taking a single big unit: Once you have selected an eligible unit to declare a charge, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of that charge. The targets of a charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. An area where the Chaos Space Marines army really shines is in the HQ slot, where it has a number of strong choices that can be built into real melee blenders. This is kind of a double-edged sword however, as it means Chaos Space Marines armies are light on characters in the Elites slot, and so taking more than 3 will often mean having two detachments, something you don’t want to do. The competition here is very fierce, particularly as you figure out how you’re going to fit in the psykers you need. Abaddon the Despoiler The Vindicator's use was recommended by the Primarch Roboute Guilliman for Space Marine Chapters in the Codex Astartes. As such, all Codex-compliant Chapters make use of the vehicle when engaged in armoured assaults of particularly difficult targets. We are a small team of Warhammer Enthusiasts and miniature collectors, hoping to support and further promote the hobby.

The Vindicators under the control of Chaos Space Marine warbands are usually armed with either pintle-mounted twin-linked Bolters (Combi-Bolters) or other Combi-Weapons. Vindicators in use by Chaos and Renegade warbands that have recently betrayed the Imperium, or recently captured Imperial Vindicators, may be armed instead with a Storm Bolter or even a Hunter-Killer Missile Launcher. They can also be armed with a Havoc Missile Launcher, an ancient weapon system that has long fallen out of use in the Imperium. Daemon weapons saw a large change with the new Codex; now they upgrade weapons more generally, adding cool effects. Each one comes with the Daemon Weapon rule now, which has you roll 2D6 each time the bearer is selected to fight. Roll less than or equal to your Ld and you can fight normally. Go over and you can choose: Either take D3 mortal wounds and fight normally, or you can’t fight with the Daemon Weapon. This is an excellent tradeoff, and you’ll almost always be taking the wounds if you have to. There are some powerful effects here and a daemon weapon will make its way into almost every competitive Chaos Marines army. Daemon Weapons are Relics, and so to take one you’ll need to spend CP to get one as normal in competitive play. The Vindicator stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Space Marines, demonstrating their commitment to adaptability and relentless firepower. Embrace the might of the Vindicator and unleash its devastating capabilities upon your foes. Whether in the service of the Imperium or wielded by those who have forsaken their loyalty, the Vindicator remains an enduring symbol of strength and destruction, ready to leave its indelible mark on the annals of galactic warfare. What’s in the Chaos Vindicator boxOn the other side of things, Masters of Possession have access to the Malefic discipline, which is mostly buffs for Legion DAEMONKIN units. Once an also-ran to the Dark Hereticus Discipline, these are now the money powers for Chaos, and there are several here that you’ll want to include in every army you field. Heretic Astartes - The Traitor Legions of Chaos Space Marines that defected to the service of Chaos during the Horus Heresy and Renegade Astartes newly arrived at their allegiance to the Ruinous Powers use the Vindicator in the same way as Loyalist Astartes; namely as a heavy support vehicle during urban and dense terrain battles. Spartan • Fellblade • Typhon • Cerberus • Falchion • Mastodon • Lord of Skulls • Death Wheel • Plaguereaper • Plague Centurion Vindicator Laser Destroyers is a powerful tank-destroyer variant of the Vindicator used primarily during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, though many are still in service today. [Needs Citation] Specifications Vehicle Name: Adeptus Astartes - The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are the primary users of the Vindicator, and it is used by every known Chapter. The Space Marines use the Vindicator during urban, jungle, and heavy arboreal battles where its main weapon can destroy enemy infantry hiding in cover.

If there’s a downside to Abaddon, it’s that he’s a single model with a 6” move, and as such isn’t particularly mobile himself, especially when compared to many of the other melee threats in the army. As a melee monster himself, he’s good but not so good that he belongs in every list – you may often find, as most Emperor’s Children and Creations of Bile players have – that he’s more superfluous. Though as far as units go, Abaddon is still one of the game’s best individual units, and worth the cost. The only question is whether your army needs him as part of its gameplan. Chaos Lord (and Terminator Variant) Units that disembark from a TRANSPORT model that made a Normal move this phase count as having made a Normal move themselves; they cannot move further during this phase. Such a unit also cannot declare a charge in the same turn, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn.

Mark of Tzeentch

Scorn of Sorcery (1 CP). Use in the opponent’s Psychic phase, after a test is passed for an enemy PSYKER unit and after any Deny attempts are made. If the enemy psyker is within 24” of any TRAITORIS ASTARTES KHORNE units in your army, roll a D6; on a 4+ the power is denied. This is a solid strat for preventing your opponent’s psychic nonsense, and will most commonly be done with Abaddon, who bears all four marks and doesn’t mind being in the middle of the table. Also great to use on your opponent’s attempts to Interrogate. A On its surface this seems like a relatively easy 5 points and on some missions it is but getting 9 seems like a best-case scenario most of the time. And that’s before you remember that oh yeah, Raise the banners is typically an easy 10+ points. There’s typically no reason to take this over Banners or even Retrieve Nephilim Data. The one exception is when you really want to take an action secondary in a matchup like Abandoned Sanctuaries against Harlequins, where none of the other actions make any sense. There are four different units Chaos Space Marine armies can pull from the specialized legions, three of which are in other books/supplements. These are: Liber Hereticus – PSYKER model only. Lets you manifest one additional power per phase, and each time you manifest a power you add 6” to the effects. This won’t affect auras (per the FAQ), so Cursed Earth isn’t getting buffed, but it can give some powers incredibly long range, such as Smite, Pact of Flesh, and Warp Marked. It won’t help you on Psychic Interrogation sadly, but the extra cast is also very strong for your marked Master of Possession. A

Cultist Mobs are the perfect unit for filling out a Battalion detachment and many CSM armies run one unit of Legionaries and two units of Cultists. You don’t want these guys anywhere near melee if you can help it so give them cultist firearms instead of close combat weapons. If you really want them to be able to fight you should take Accursed Cultists instead. Accursed Cultists First retrofitted into the heavily armoured Deimos Pattern Vindicator chassis during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, several Space Marine Legions took to fielding this variant as a mainline battle tank, proving itself on many occasions as an able tank hunter. The Warp’s Malice – This relic bolt pistol has 18” range, is Pistol 2, and S5, AP-2 2 damage, plus in Wanton Massacre or Slaughter it becomes Pistol 4. As an added bonus, whenever it rolls an unmodified hit roll of 6, it just does 2 mortal wounds and the sequence ends. Kind of like a ranged version of the Blade of the Relentless. Not bad, given how much you get, but ultimately not good enough to make your list unless you have some way to get hit re-rolls or guarantee hit rolls of 6. B- The Vindicator has been in use by Imperial forces since the Great Crusade, and it has hardly changed since those turbulent days so long ago. The Space Marine Legions that sided with the corrupted Warmaster and primarch of the Luna Wolves, Horus Lupercal, used their Vindicators against the Loyalist forces of the Emperor during the Horus Heresy. Command Squad • Reclusiam Command Squad • Captain • Primaris Captain • Lieutenant • Primaris Lieutenant • Company Ancient • Company ChampionAfter millennia of brutal warfare across the galaxy, it is still in favour within the Adeptus Astartes, the Vindicator Laser Destructor continuing to bring retribution to the enemies of Mankind. Chaos Space Marine armies have long included specialty cult units like Berzerkers and their Codex has rules for including those in your army.

Reaper — Scythes of the Emperor. Destroyed by the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken in the defence of Miral Prime. [1b] Here’s the tank built before I set about painting it. The gun shield and the radiator things that go on the sides of the gun are magnetised here, so I can get at the gun to paint it. I decided against a pintle weapon because I think it makes sense for it to be buttoned up. In-game you’d be snap-firing a pintle weapon if you moved, as the main gun is ordnance, which decreases its value. The bits might come in handy for other kits though.The Traitor Legions deployed hundreds of Vindicators during their Siege of Terra at the end of the Heresy, where the vehicle's extreme firepower overwhelmed the extensive Imperial fortifications and helped the Traitors get ever closer to the Imperial Palace. In this section we’ll cover the main rules for the army, starting with the faction’s army-wide special rules, then diving into the Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Relics, Secondary Objectives, and Psychic Powers available to all Chaos Space Marines. Faction Special Rules Picture the scene – foul Traitors/foolish Loyalists (delete as appropriate) cower behind their latest fortress. Your squadron of Deimos-pattern Predators , though great at tearing other tanks to tatters, aren’t cutting the mustard against such enormous ramparts. You need something bigger! You need something that hits like a haymaker from the Emperor’s own fist. You need a Vindicator. Melee Combat. Chaos Space Marines have some of the game’s best melee threats – Possessed, Abaddon, Chaos Space Marines, Lords Discordant, Masters of Executions, and Chosen are all absolutely nasty threats, and you can make most of them even better with relics, warlord traits, and upgrades.
