Also: No such thing as Havocks with Slaneeshi weapons anymore. They can take a Slaneeshi mark, though only benifit from the +1 to I.

Anyways...

H.B.M.C.

Someone might be able to explain this:

Why is it that the overwhelming feeling I get from this Chaos Codex, aside from blandness (thanks to Jervis taking over), is that there's nothing 'Chaotic' about this Codex.

Daemonic Upgrades? Gone.

Daemonic Vehicle Upgrades? Gone. All we've got is a nerfed Possessed (yes, deamons are inherently bad shots... thanks Gav) and all the loyalist ones at Dark Angel prices.

Cool Daemon Princes? Gone. Just three options, and we already know the best combo (Slaaneshi w/Lash & Wings).

Daemon Weapons? Nope. Useless.

All the colours of the Chaos Rainbow Legions? Nup. You're all just paintjobs.

Daemons, the defining part of Chaos? Gone. One statline to rule them all.

Varies squad sizes with differing weapon options? Eliminated. Now they have to take 10 men to get a heavy weapon, just like loyalist (well, DA and BA) Marines. How is that Chaotic?


I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't just open up the Word Document for the Dark Angel Codex and do a Find/Replace using 'Chaos Space Marine' to replace 'Dark Angel Space Marine', and then went and added a few unique units like (nerfed) Defilers and (further nerfed) Oblits.

That's like asking "What do I build next" when you run a city.

What do you need?

Hey this is in reply to the grumblings about how demons will be a separate army. I can't find my copy of wight dwarf but I'm almost 100% certain is said demons can be fielded in the same way demon hunters can. either as a total DH army or as a allied force. i might be wrong though..

If anyone goes to DakkaDakka, visiting HBMC's thread is a decent enough way to have the book summarized. Features an almost page-by-page review.

Don't read if you think that the new Codex is all Hawt and that any who hate it should be lynched, though, as there is quite a few Derogatory things at some points (Mainly involving Possessed, Basic CSM's, and Vehicle Upgrades).

If I was a mod, I would delete that list, it is giving out state lines and rules for Chaos. Which would be against guild rules.

Well it is and it isn't.

It's not published and taken to be fact, so it's not really a rules violation. It's just an exceedingly educated guess with numerable sources.

I'd like to delete it, but then I might get hit with the "oppression" thing.
