We’ve already heard they’ll be getting their own codex, and this month’s White Dwarf – which we’ll be reviewing next week – covers the interim units to use for the sons of Angron. That said, there are a few things that didn’t make it in here:

Rules for marks of chaos, which allows you to dedicate your units to specific chaos gods in exchange for rewards.

Subfaction Rules for eight legions, each with four pages of rules, stratagems, warlord traits, and relics covering the Alpha Legion, Black Legion, Creations of Bile, Emperor’s Children, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, Red Corsairs, and Word Bearers.

Daemon Weapons for your champions to use.

Relics, Stratagems, and Wargear for the Chaos Legions.

Crusade rules 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.

Lore for the faction, with a history of the heresy and a summary of what they’ve been up to in the ten thousand years since.

Updated datasheets for Chaos Space Marines, including Traitor Legionaries with two wounds. It covers 8 different traitor legions and all of the datasheets and units you could want. Let’s start with the contents – this book is large. That one publishes on Tuesday, just like all our other Crusade reviews.Īlso joining us for this review are the inexorable Don “The Mastodon” Hooson and Michael Pestilens of the Warphammer website.

In Part 4: Crusade, we cover the book’s Crusade rules.

In Part 1 – this article – we talk about the general overview of the book, what’s in it, our overall impressions, and the army-wide rules and concepts of the Chaos Space Marines.

You’ll also note that we’ve split this review into four parts:

After two full years’ wait, the Heretic Astartes finally have a book of their own – but was it worth the wait?īefore we dive into the book, we’d like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a preview copy of the book for review purposes.

Titanic units can fly to retreat, and shoot in the same turn (yay Monolith)īlast units cannot fire while they're in engagement range, even applying to pistols.The skies darken and the storms gather as the time of Chaos descends upon us – rejoice, brothers and sisters for the Summer of Chaos has truly arrived with the upcoming release of Codex: Chaos Space Marines. Perils of the Warp also seems to have some kind of explosion affect when the last model dies in its unit? Is that new? Also, the D6 bonus was moved from 10+ to 11+. So if you have 3 units that can cast smite, the first one passes on a 5, second one on a 6, third on a 7. Psyker Phase - Smites now at +1 to every time you cast it for subsequent Warp Charge Value. There is now a Command phase similar to Age of Sigmar's Hero phase? You receive 1 CP if your army is Battle Forged, then you can use some of your points that are applicable during this phase. Enemy units are not allowed to move or advance within this range. There is a new "Engagement Range" of 1" horizontally and 5" vertically from a unit's base. So a couple things I notice that are new that we haven't heard yet: Now you need to think do I really need to risk it. Multicharge before had a big advantage in the fact that if you charged a unit unable to be overwatched in first you completely avoided it and could possibly tag two units in combat. I don't really like the overwatch change, but I see it's value in that most of the time it doesn't do much. I think they fix some of the problems people had with the game. I don't think any of these changes are bad. The reason they changed the engagement range from 1 inch to 1/2 an inch is because with models with smaller bases you could do 3 rows of fighting which was never the intention.

You can still multicharge, but you have to weight the risk vs reward. The shooting of overwatch caused a whole another phase depending on the army you were playing, and often little to no damage done to the charging unit. Part of the problem with overwatch was that people would multicharge everything in range when they really wanted the unit at 11 inches. Two things that slowed down the game more than anything were close combat, and overwatch. Multicharges didn't get nerfed, they got fixed.
