Chaos Space Marines incoming

[salamut2202]

I don't know whay people are harping about the new obliterators, the old ones weren't that great anyways. Meh, what ever, my feeling haven't changed on oblits.

I have to say I'm liking these daemon engines more and more now. I think they fit the new chaosy feel they're going for now. Comare the regulcar CSM to the Dark Vengence Chosen in those pics, that's a glorious aesthetic change.

Now that lord is two things I like - it's simle and, like the warsmith to the techmarines, has allusions to the librarians (e.g. belt buckle).

No, I like how they're making more ties with the loyalists yes making them look a lot more like another army. Dark eldar should be more than pointy eldar, chaos should look more than spiky marines.

I like the armoured beast approach over the demon-possessed engine, I have to say. As for the CC Obliterators... well, honestly, folks, what did you expect a mutating mass to look like? It's gonna be "ugly" whatever way you slice it. And don't slice it, 'cos then you'd probably get two of them... *shudders*

Personally I rather like all the new models. I do think the Daemon Engines could have been modelled more in line with the DV Helbrute to be more awesome, but I still love them. Their bestial/mechanical appearance is more in line with some of the Forgeworld Daemon Engines (Blood-Slaughterer, Brass Scorpion). The Melee Obliterators look pretty much exactly how I envisioned them, except with more hooks and mutant claws instead of actual weapons. Can't wait to get some of these gribbly goodies for my Word Bearers!

I am liking them all honestly. They are a nice departure from the spikey marines of old. Better details, more Chaos-y, warped and twisted.

Im hoping you can mix dakkabliterators with melee ones.

Yes, Obliterator models which don't look very good is not really news.  They're no better or worse than the current models.  I shall be sticking to my policy of not buying any.

The Daemon Engines look even worse, in my opinion, in the latest photos than in the previous ones.  In fact, I wouldn't even call them Daemon Engines, they look like Daemonic aliens.  I'll stick to using Daemon Engines in Epic.

I'm pretty happy with this release. The Deamon Engines look like the blood mounts and juggernaughts on a larger scale. So now massive change to GW deamon engines there. I like them alot.

As for the Oblits, If i get some, I'll just do a face change. Thats the only place that lets them down to be honest. A wee bit of green stuff work which veteran Chaos players will be used to and they could me amazing!

Damn look at all those White Dwarf preview of the rules.....

On a good note, that means I can play my Chaos HQ the way I always loved playing in Fantasy!

Ohhhhh Tzeentch is very nice looking now! I do like these rules alot! Although Heavy Boltgun is interesting. Im assuming it just meant Heavy Bolter, but it might be new. And Icon of flame giving bolt weapons Soul Blaze? Awesome.

[salamut2202]

I like so many of those things. I really like how they're fleshing out Chaos' own plsy feel as well as its aesthetic.

[Begel Dverl]

I don't like how they are re-using a Black Library Book for the codex cover.

At least try to make someting new, pwease?

On the other hand, I think I just might grab ahold of the new Aspiring Champion...

Y'know...

For...uh...Dark Edar....stuff....

:-X

Anyone else notice the price of the codex?

[The Man They Call Jayne]

30 quid? It better be hard back.

[Chris]

That's what I was thinking! It had better be good. Looking at the spoilers, it may well be worth it!

Looks like lots of personalisation available.
