Lastly, there are no keyword restrictions here other than TRAITORIS ASTARTES, so if you want extra AP on a, gets a definite sidegrade no more respawning a whole unit, but for a mere 1CP you can add d3+3 models back to a Cultist unit thats either within 6 of a Battlefield Edge or your Deployment Zone. This ability would be worth the cost on its own, but the Icon ability here is huge: +1 to hit with melee weapons is extremely potent and allows units to operate with much less support, and get the most out of weapons that normally give you -1 to hit (i.e. This is. This lets a LEGION CORE unit fire into combat, at the cost that you cannot re-roll the hit roll, and hit rolls of 1 hit one of the friendly units in the combat instead.

This is one of those things that isnt going to come up all the time, but will be an exceptional button to press when it does, and access to it comes at almost no price unless youre going Emperors Children or World Eaters, youre almost certainly going to have some eligible units kicking around, and you tend to have near-perfect information as to whether activating this is worthwhile. This is another home run. Submit Close. Definitely appreciate whoever made this and you for showing us where to find it. Description. Bringing Legion Detachments/Warlords also unlocks Stratagems, Traits and Relics, and here this is much more of a big deal than in most books each of the classic Legions gets a full table of six traits and a page each of Stratagems and Relics, while the Servants of Bile (who you can now just choose as your legion) and Red Corsairs get roughly a half sized set. Each unit has a purpose and is functional. But what we didnt expect was updated datasheets for the Land Raider, which now has T9, and lascannons that do D6+2 damage, and other vehicles in the Chaos armory. This isnt always what you want, as into any army with Armour of Contempt it doesnt really do much, but if you need to clear out mid-quality units from other armies its great. As is only fitting, Slaanesh have stolen some Aeldari nonsense for their own nefarious purposes. The others are similar, except the Slaanesh offering of. Happily for everyone except Chaos players, GW did have the foresight to add a rider that if youre participating in multiple acts that affect the same weapon type (e.g. These are the powers that the Master of Possession uses. gives incoming attacks -1 to wound and an aura that causes enemy units within 18 to perils on any doubles. So something like an Obliterator can still get the Slaanesh keyword (and be a SLAANESH DAEMON) in an Emperors Children army, but not in another Legion, and they dont get the actual Mark of Slaanesh benefits.

Great, time for wizard business Tzeentch provides options for, . is now +1 to WS/BS, a definite nerf (though it is interesting that it can stack with sources of +1 to hit), while, still provides +1 to Wound for INFANTRY or BIKER units, but jumps to 2CP.

With Armor of Contempt and invulns on all the Daemon keyword CSM units, the old Illusory Supplication (5++ invuln aura) wasnt as valuable as it used to be. Have you made sure those Khorne jocks are distracted punching some Tau? Well the short answer is that I dont think its pure busted like Tyranids were the overall strength of datasheets outside of Abaddon is decent, but not so incredibly high as to cause my eyes to bug out of my skull like a Tex Avery cartoon. On the whole I think this book is more likely to sit around the Custodes/Sisters level of competitive play, at least initially, rather than the Harlequins/Tau/Tyranids level. It can also be combined with full hit and wound re-rolls from Abaddon in Black Legion to make Terminators a real threat to enemy tanks. On the other hand the Icon ability is pretty streamlined.

The Psychic Disciplines from 8th edition return, now updated for 9th and in the case of the Dark Hereticus Discipline, wildly different from what we saw in Codex: Thousand Sons. The Intoxicating Elixir is once per game now but gives +D3 attacks and the ability to take no more than 3 wounds in that Fight phase. Each legion and unit feels like it should.

Finally, when the bodies start hitting the floor, Wanton Slaughter lets your Melee weapons and Pistols explode, but unlike the Assault Doctrine it also keeps working for, uh, Assault weapons. Exploding 6s is always good, and this feels like a potent effect in the Combat Doctrines model, while still feeling distinct. Theres something to like about each traitor legion, and each feels like it will support a different play style and army build something enhanced by the faction secondary objectives and stratagems.

Chaos Space Marines Second Codex Campaign and Settings Within the 3rd Edition a new type of codex was published. Kharn and Berzerkers arent in the book. This lets a LEGION CORE unit fire into combat, at the cost that you cannot re-roll the hit roll, and hit rolls of 1 hit one of the friendly units in the combat instead. than useful most of the time, but very occasionally it will be exactly what you want, most likely in a situation where it lets you clear out some chaff to free up your unit that was in combat to Shoot or Charge. Scorn of Sorcery breaks out from the World Eaters to provide a general-purpose 4+ Deny stratagem against enemy Pyskers within 24 of Khorne units, while if youre also mad about everything else, Fury of Khorne gives you automatic wounds on 6s to hit in melee. Even if it doesnt blow up the competitive scene, this feels like a solid bit of rules writing It lets you bring the classics along without making you jump through too many hoops, but does enough to make the units feel different here than they do in their home legions. Thank You, Patrons. The fact that you get -1 to Wound if Strength = Toughness is very valuable since there is a fair bit of Strength 4 out there, as is the mini-transhuman against S8+ anti-tank weapons that normally crumple low-toughness power-armoured bodies. Now if this were a 5+, wed be talking. Some people in the audience might think theyve figured out which kinds in each case, but the qualification is actually broader than for the Loyalist Combat Doctrine equivalent. Happily for everyone, Chaos players, GW did have the foresight to add a rider that if youre participating in multiple acts that affect the same weapon type (e.g. : This power was drastically toned down. I say for the most part here because both Emperors Children and World Eaters have ways around this adding a unit to your army that cant have a mark automatically gives it the appropriate faction keyword at no cost. You do still have to work around the Mere Mortals ability each detachment cannot contain more CULTIST units than CORE INFANTRY, so you have to bring some Marines to keep your rabble in order. If you roll equal to or less, youre fine. Then there are the returning hits The Black Mace returns as a S+2, AP-2 D3 weapon for which excess damage spills over, while the Blade of the Relentless (formerly Krannons) is an AP-4 D2 power sword that gives +1 attack and on unmodified hit rolls of 6 it just does 2 mortal wounds and the sequence ends.

In the CP starved world of Nephilim this is likely to mostly be a curiosity, but there are a lot of relics in this book, so dont rule out there being something extra spicy you can pull off in the right list. returns as a S+2, AP-2 D3 weapon for which excess damage spills over, while the. : One CORE or Character unit within 6 can Advance and Charge for a turn. If Daemon Engine fans are feeling a little hard done by there, then good news the new Infernal Engine stratagem is a powerful trade. It feels strong but not over the top like other recent releases have been. is my favorite of these it gives the Warlord +1S and +1A on charges/being charged/interventions and re-rolls to hit in melee, and is exactly the kind of thing Id put on a Daemon Prince to stop him from being complete trash (hell still disappoint). And while I agree that Death Hex can be useful, playing with Twist of Fate in Thousand Sons has shown me how narrow it actually is if you dont have any questions that can reliably force an opponent to go above a 5+ save anyways. Bringing Legion Detachments/Warlords also unlocks Stratagems, Traits and Relics, and here this is much more of a big deal than in most books each of the classic Legions gets a full table of six traits and a page each of Stratagems and Relics, while the Servants of Bile (who you can now just choose as your legion) and Red Corsairs get roughly a half sized set. for Chaos Space Marines, covering the different ways your warband can dedicate itself to the dark powers and wage an endless war on the Imperium of Man.
